One of the bartenders was fantastic. She took the time to ask what flavors I liked, recommended a different liquor for my margarita, and customized it to better match my taste. It turned out great, and I really appreciated the extra effort. The male bartender was friendly, but I was a little disappointed when I asked if they could make an espresso martini. He said they didn't have the ingredients, even though they had another coffee-based cocktail on the menu. It would have been nice if he had suggested a creative alternative using the cold brew or whatever they had available. Not a big deal, just a missed opportunity. They don't appear to serve food themselves, but there was a food truck parked outside when we visited, which was a nice bonus. Overall, we had a great experience. The atmosphere was fun, the drinks were good, it's dog-friendly, and we'd definitely stop by again the next time we're in Estes Park.

We ordered the bison short rib, black and blue pasta, New York strip, hamburger, and kids' hamburger, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The standout, however, was the lobster bisque--it was absolutely delicious and, without a doubt, the best we've ever had. The only downside was the service, which was quite slow throughout our visit. Overall, it was a lovely restaurant with great food and an inviting ambiance, and it's definitely worth trying.

They have what I'd describe as a modern ambiance and lots of natural lighting w their big windows. Food was reasonably priced especially the steaks that were both less than $30!!

This was a disappointment after seeing the high ratings on some sites…read more It was very hot in the upstairs dining room and only halfway through dinner did they turn on some semblance of AC. We were seated in an odd location that seemed to have cleaning supplies and other miscellaneous elements scattered next to it. When being seated, we were given an additional menu that they apparently only offer on certain days, which was not the day that we were there. Service was inconsistent and a bit awkward: sometimes a lot of explanation and attention, sometimes abruptness or nothing. The elk burger was fine and the trout was good. The greens that came with the trout tasted like they were drenched in butter. The fries were described by the person who ordered them as the worst they'd ever had. I didn't think it was that bad, but they did come out basically cold. They also ended by asking to leave a review and mention the server name in the review.

Good service and ambience, extremely bland food for the price…read more We ordered the chip trip which came with tortilla chips, guac, salsa and queso and it was $16. When I tell you that even Chili's has better chips and guac... the guac was definitely not freshly made. You can even tell by looking at the pictures of it. It was watery and had a weird consistency. Salsa was definitely jarred and the queso was watery and bland. I got the trout for my entree which came with roasted potatoes and salad. Again... bland. The potatoes literally had no seasoning except a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Salad barely had dressing. I wish I was being dramatic, but when I tell you that nothing had any flavor. My boyfriend had the quesadilla which was definitely overpriced for what it was. Part of his quesadilla was empty. I'm not cheap when it comes to food, but the price we paid for this less than mediocre food was insane. I'm really bummed we ended up here on our walk because there are plenty of restaurants around here that had to have been way better than this.

We decided to try Antlers Rooftop Tavern because we were excited about the rooftop views…read more Our server, Eren, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. There were a couple of mix-ups with our order, including Mezcal which has a very distinct taste accidentally being added to my margarita, and some incorrect side dishes but the staff handled everything quickly and professionally. Since the restaurant had only recently reopened with a new menu, the mistakes were understandable. I ordered the Smashburger with fries, and my friend had the chicken fajita sandwich with a salad. The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable for the area. The rooftop offers beautiful views of Estes Park and is conveniently located right in the shopping district. The only downside was the orange barrier coverings around parts of the rooftop while renovations were being completed. They blocked some of the views and took away a bit of the ambiance. Once those renovations are finished, this will be an even better spot. Great food, attentive service, and a fantastic location, I would definitely visit again once the renovations are completed.

TLDR: There was a large piece of plastic and a bone from the meat in my food…read more Service: Me and my friend were really excited for this place but the food was extremely mid. We sat down and about 10 minutes later, a couple sat behind us and our waitress visited and brought water to their table first instead of ours. In addition, another couple behind us was not seen by any waiter/waitress and had to ask a worker (who might have been an assistant manager? Although, not clear what his position was) if they can order with him. Overall service felt scattered, a bit slow overall, and unprofessional. Food: I ordered the tex mex bowl with barbacoa. It tasted as expected, nothing spectacular. However, there was a massive piece of plastic in my food. I let the waitress know and she apologized on behalf of the kitchen. I kept the meal because I hate waste and I didn't see any other plastic pieces in the food. Right after I found the plastic, I also discovered a bone in the meat. It was big enough to hurt a tooth if I had bit down on it but thankfully I spit it out before I chewed my food completely. While a bone might be normal to find in meat, I was certainly unhappy that now two objects were in this food. I was never comped for my meal and the manager never visited my table to apologize. I only write reviews if I had a fantastic experience or when I feel the need to warn others about the restaurant. I recommend choosing another restaurant before choosing this one if you prefer quality food and service.
