    The ambiance is beautiful, it's the cutest little cafe. I ate there the entire week I was visiting…read moreWalden and I cannot say that I regretted anything I ordered. I will say my absolute favorite order had to be the Biscuits and gravy!!! OMG I have never had such amazing biscuits, they were lightly grilled and that just made them even more perfect than they could have ever been. The service was wonderful as well, I wasn't too hungry, so the waitress suggest I order a side of gravy and side of biscuit and that was the perfect serving for me. I loved everything about this place. Highly recommend.

    The restaurant opens at 7:00 am, and we arrived just before 7:00 am. They opened a little late,…read morewhich was understandable. We were the first customers seated, and our order was taken right away. Unfortunately, the other three tables that arrived after us received their food before we did. I ordered the All American and specifically asked for basted eggs, but the eggs came out poached. I understand that some places may not be familiar with the term "basted," and I would have been completely understanding if someone had clarified the request when we ordered. What was frustrating was that after she served the person who had arrived behind us, the server came over and volunteered that the reason our food was taking longer was because our eggs were basted and therefore took longer to cook while walking past. The restaurant was not busy enough to justify the service we received, especially considering we were the first people seated and had our order taken first. Unfortunately, to top it all off, our food arrived cold. I understand that delays can happen, and I'm always willing to be reasonable, but the combination of being the first customers seated, having multiple tables served before us, receiving eggs that were not prepared as requested, and then having our food arrive cold made for a very disappointing experience.

    I had an absolute 5-star experience at Scratch Deli and Bakery! We needed some sandwiches to bring…read morewith us into the park to give us energy for a day of hiking, and this place delivered perfectly. We ordered two different kinds of sandwiches, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was completely on point, everything was so fresh, and they make it right in front of you. The deli is run by a super cute couple, and you can tell how much care they put into their business. We happened to visit during the shoulder season, so luckily the line wasn't very long. However, I've heard from others that this place is super popular, and during the peak summer season, there is usually a line waiting right out the door, and after eating here, I can totally see why! In fact, we loved it so much that we tried to go back the very next day, but unfortunately, they were closed (they are closed two days of the week, so be sure to check their hours!). I highly recommend stopping by Scratch Deli and Bakery. It is a must-visit spot, and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

    As we were about to enter Rocky Mountain Natl Park our first day, we knew we needed lunch to go…read more I found this place on Yelp and it had such great reviews we decided to give it a try. All of their meats are cured in house and served on their fresh baked bread each day. They are vegetarian friendly and offer vegan and gluten free options. They also offer breakfast items like burritos. Be aware their sandwiches are loaded with ingredients and big. I could only eat half of my sandwich. I do appreciate the size though as you never know how hungry you are going to be after a long hike especially in this altitude. We went with the turkey sandwich and added cheese, all kinds of toppings and a spread. These sandwiches were very tasty and all the veggies on the sandwich were so fresh. Their baked goods looked so inviting especially the cinnamon rolls. I will have to come back! Service was efficient and helpful. Parking can be a bit of a challenge when they are busy. It was the perfect stop before entering the park!

My Hogback Sour Cocktail was over the moon. Made from bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and Cabernet float. The unique blend made a great drink. I wanted more, but held back because we were hiking later. My wife's traditional slightly dirty martini was perfectly made as well. We started with the homemade chips and dip. Nice crispy chips with beautiful fresh made onion dip. Next came the Pheasant soup. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, it was so yummy. The main course for me was the carnivore plate with elk, filet, sausage, and broccoli/shallots. The elk meat was the star on my plate. Having that next to the filet mignon allowed me to taste test them in real time. The Elk meat won hands down. Not even close in my opinion. The sausage was packed with wonderful flavors, but after a few bites overwhelmed my palette. My wife had the Creamy Potato Gnocchi Bowl. We both shared each other's dishes. She loved the Elk Meat. I really enjoyed the Gnocchi, and wished it could be a side dish to my Elk meat. Service was great with Elizabeth checking on us at the right times. Tip: Ask for the postcard and the restaurant will send it out for you after you fill it out. Tip: the restaurant fills up quickly, so call ahead and get a reservation.
