The other entrees we tried as a group, were the Meat lovers pizza and Street tacos. Everyone enjoyed their entree. My youngest had the kids pizza and was full half way through it.

The Papa Bino was easily one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had. The Rachel was phenomenal too. It's basically a Reuben made with turkey instead of corned beef, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Both sandwiches were very flavorful and were made with quality ingredients. The service was excellent too; The woman working the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We ate out on the patio, and it had such a great vibe for enjoying lunch on a warm day. If you're looking for a quality sandwich shop with great food, and a relaxed atmosphere, Cy's Deli is definitely worth a visit.

We've been coming to Grand Lake area for many years for camping trips and Air B&B stays and inevitably forget something or need something for dinner. The prices are relatively affordable so we don't need to drive to City Market in Granby and the people are always kind and helpful and welcoming upon entering the store. I love the flowers and picnic tables out front making it a happy experience. The interior is spacious but jam packed with good products and decent selection of foods and grocery stuff. They even have a little deli inside!! Their produce was in great condition and I bought a gorgeous bunch of fresh cilantro, a healthy chunk of fresh ginger and a lovely garlic bulb for my stir fry dinner for a couple bucks. Then I forgot rice and went back and got jasmine rice and ingredients for chocolate chip cookies!! LOL! This is an awesome market!!

We've been coming to Mountain Market in Grand Lake for over 15 years and have seen several owners…read morecome and go over that time. It's always been a convenient stop in town, and lately the produce has been especially nice and fresh. I do wish they had a butcher on site with fresh cut meat available, and I'd also love to see them bring back the little scan keychain fobs or some kind of locals discount program. It can feel a little awkward having to say you're a local at the register, and it would be much easier if customers could just use a phone number lookup instead. I'm also not sure why the locals perk would be limited to only Mondays. Something available throughout the week would make more sense for people who live here. Prices are definitely on the high side, which is understandable in a small mountain town, but a small loyalty perk for locals would go a long way. During the summer I was also told they could make sandwiches during the day but couldn't slice deli meat, which seemed a bit odd and a little confusing as a customer.

Everything is consistently great, and it's become one of those places you're always happy to come back to. Most of my reviews have focused on how great the pizza is, but this time I have to give some love to the Caprese sandwich. Wow. Everything was so fresh, and the bread was toasted absolutely perfectly. Simple, fresh ingredients done right, and I honestly can't wait to have it again. I'm actually kind of sad that Firefly is heading out for the holiday season, but I'll definitely be first in line next spring when they're back. Until then, I'll just have to dream about that pizza and Caprese sandwich.

I will try to keep this review short but there are plenty of things I need to mention as a chef for…read more11 years and Assistant General Manager at an upscale restaurant in Denver. All of this review is written to improve future dining experiences for others. The historic rapids lodge restaurant is trying to be a fine dining experience when they don't have the front of house service, nor kitchen experience to hold that standard that they are having you pay for. ($82 ribeye, $21 deviled eggs, etc..) It is a beautiful venue on the river I will give it that. We also had a LARGE party, and I recognize fully how difficult that can be, but it was my sister in laws engagement day and celebration. We tried to set our reservation months in advance (as we were a LARGE party and wanted them to be prepared) and they didn't respond to our several calls until a month before (not bad), then the night of the event they were not even close to prepared. The host walked us into the restaurant without the tables set up, WE had to help set them up because they didn't know how many were in our party nor how to seat us. We didn't get silverware until we asked twice, we didn't have enough water for 20 minutes, we didn't get menus after sitting at the table. Those are the base line issues that any restaurant should have down, especially one with this price tag. The fine dining issues I want to mention, they don't have wine menu's to pair their food with. We never had enough bread for the 17 of us (we got a quarter loaf at a time). I see the owners vision, and he tried to make up for the mistakes with free sides and dessert, but while he was a pretty good host I don't think he has the staff to accomplish a fine dining experience. Overall, disappointing experience for the price point, and mid tier experience for a dining experience at one quarter the price point. To the restaurant, meet the bare minimum before you try to charge $100 a head. Get a wine list and prepare your waiters when you're charging $24 a glass. Train your staff to care about the menu and know what they're talking about with food and wine pairings. I know it's not denver, so if you can't find people like this in grand lake or train them yourself, LOWER YOUR PRICE POINT and change your business plan to upscale casual. Please. P.S. We still tipped 20+%, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone until they try to adjust their business plan.
