We were seated at a table for two inside but just at the window with full on views of the sunset over the mountains. The outside patio was popular and the tables with fire pits and full views were noticeably booked ahead. Inside was sleek and modern with a few patrons this evening. Our waiter was professional and attentive throughout the evening. Our drinks were exceptional. Ryze from the Ashes - a drink with a quirky and smoky personality Shillelah - vibrant and a touch tart rather than sweet Truffle Fries - exceptionally crunchy and generously portioned Dos Tacos - just right for two Adobo Chicken - something different as a spice combination but could be more juicy.

This was my third visit, and disappointed for the final time. Reluctantly came in about 8:30 PM after Concert in the Park (no other options). 3 to 4 tables of people... not busy at all. We sat ourselves and waited 10-15 min before the waitress finally took our drink order and so we went ahead and placed our food order knowing we would likely wait even longer. Ordered a round of drinks for four and two orders of buffalo wings. Once food arrived from kitchen staff, we saw our waitress only when she delivered our check an hour later. We ate our buffalo wings on the napkins I retrieved from the bar top. Again, there were only 3 to 4 tables. Just want ONE place in Monument that offers great service and atmosphere.

We came to this place because I was looking for Elk Steak and it was one of the only places I could…read morefind that served it. It's in a very interesting location and it shares a building with a little grocery store which is very unique. We had actually not made a reservation and we got there around 5pm and our Hostess made some arrangements and got us seated within a few minutes. Once you go inside it looks like a very high end restaurant and every staff member there was super professional. Our waitress arrived super fast and we basically knew what we wanted already so we ordered Our food. We got our food within 15-25 minutes and I ordered their renowned Pan seared Elk and I got the wine that was recommended to pair with it. I honestly think that was the best elk I've ever had there was 0 gamey flavor to it at all and it was cooked to perfection(medium-rare). My girlfriend was already full for the most part so she just ordered their fries which had arrived way before my meal did so we shared them, they tasted very good. This place was definitely worth it and I highly recommend paying it a visit.

I had the badger bib salad which was mostly lettuce covered in an overly sweet dressing. My man had the ell tenderloin which was supposed to be cooked medium but came out much closer to rare.

I heard so many good things about this place that a friend and I decided to dine there. Now mind…read moreyou, neither of us drink alcohol so we can't rate what I've come find out is a bar, not really a restaurant. What I can say is that our lovely waitress, Lindsey, had to run all over the hotel up and down elevators to find a couple of bottles of sparkling water. A bar, that doesn't have sparkling water? The menu is pretty extensive for a bar so we ordered several things. I knew we shouldn't expect 4 star dining when I first ordered the mochi's to start, because my world traveled friend had never had one. It was a chemical confection of freezer burn and rubber and sadly would never win any awards. Meanwhile, Lindsey announced that she was still on the hunt for sparkling water! Next our food came out in strange order. My friend had the rubbery chicken wings and I had the Burrata cheese and sourdough having also ordered a crab salad. Meanwhile Lindsey had returned to the table to announce "they" were all still looking throughout the Hotel Polaris for Perrier, San Pellegrino or any kind of sparkling water. The salad came out as pig slop in a cup. Hosed down crab with so much mayo that it could honestly have easily been misidentified as a colon mass. It went back to die in a kitchen that I suspect is stocked with nothing more than frozen food from Kroger. Instead Lindsey offered just crabmeat in a cup. Wanting to just eat I eagerly agreed, after all she was so lovely and was trying so hard to find that damn water. lol When the bowl was returned to my table it was frozen fake crab, no labeling on the menu that it would be fake crabmeat. Once again the search began for anything healthy to eat. Then the lobster meat came out in the same size small queso like cup with a side of cold drawn butter congealing. By now I was done, BUT THE WATER WAS FOUND !!! TWO SMALL BOTTLES OF PERRIER SAVED THE NIGHT. A liquid diet it would be for me and all for the price of a small dog. :) I'd like to thank God for giving me such a humorous, patient spirit,l I'd like to thank my date for his eye rolls with smiles as they fumbled through our meal, I'd like to thank Lindsey for her tenacity, determination and devotion to her customers and I'd appreciate a thank you from Lindsey for my helping her to reach 10,000 steps in just under 2 hours. :) Bypass this place unless you're desperate for a view of the mountains and alcohol.

It was mostly empty, but I could imagine it being such a fun place to go on a busy night out. The music was a good variety of pop hits, and the bartender was SO nice and attentive even though he looked like the only one working. We all got the same drink-- the strawberry fields and it was delicious. I would definitely go back to try the rest of the menu! The bartender said he'd be happy to change the spirit within any drink if needed (I don't like gin), which I appreciated. Sometimes bars make batch cocktails so you can't do any changes, so that was nice! Lastly, I'll just say this isn't the spot for food. We got some nachos as a little snack and they were good but basic. It's nice that they have a few options though for when you're a few drinks in and need a pick me up!
