Ordered a burger which I ordered medium rare, and had to bring it back since it was cooked very well done. When it came back it was also well done, but I bit the bullet because I was hungry. The margarita was overpriced and tasted more like syrup than a margarita. Thought it was on happy hour, but nope. The service was slow, maybe it was because we were on the patio. Though she was nice ,but she never asked about the burger after it came back out, so I couldn't even tell her it still wasn't cooked right. I love Bob's, and I hope this was just a fluke of it being mud season.

This was our second visit to Craftsman in Edwards, and one thing hasn't changed--the food is…read moreoutstanding. This time I ordered the Schmidt Mac Burger with Parmesan Fries, while my wife had the Wagyu Reuben with a side salad. Every bite was delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly, the fries were crispy with just the right amount of Parmesan, and my wife's Reuben was loaded with flavor. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. After our meals were delivered, our server rarely checked back. We were never asked if we wanted another drink, and our water glasses sat empty long enough that we finally had to ask another server for refills. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it definitely wasn't the level of service you expect from a restaurant of this caliber. One thing to know before you go--the prices are on the higher side. My burger and Parmesan fries were around $33, so this isn't your average burger joint. That said, the quality of the food helps justify the price. Overall, the kitchen absolutely delivers, and that's why we'll be back. Hopefully this was just an off day for the service staff, because if the front of the house matched the outstanding food coming from the kitchen, Craftsman would easily earn five stars.

Both kitchens are ran by chef Angel! Westin turned 25% of the lobby adjacent to the Lookout and extended the space to accommodate the pandemic guidelines. There's the other side as well that will be on your left as you walk in to May. We tried the ff: 1. Cheese and charcuterie board. 2. Margherita pizza 3. Lookout burger 4. Rose Bowl cocktail and Cherry Manhattan 5. The Candy Shop Everything was tasty and done with so much care. Fat, juicy burger! The pizza was amazing and the charcuterie board board was A+! But you know in life what surprised you the most sometimes is something you didn't see coming. This was the dessert in the form of the Candy Store. This tray was loaded with créme brulee, m&m's ,ice cream, cookies, sprinkles etc! Amazing! It was impossible to finish between the two of us! No kidding! This was a miniature candy store! Made me giddy! The Rosebowl was created by Grant Lewis. The Beverage Director. I will get this again! The entire staff was amazing. Met Chef Angel when he brought out the Candy Store.

This PLACE SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN TODAY by the health department or governors Covid19 team until there's a Covid19 vaccine. If the behavior wittnessed continues Benderz WILL be responsible for infecting local Coloradoans. We had, or attempted to have, a late lunch (230pm ish) on 4th of July. My group choose to not sit outside because it was very busy. We sat inside in the very corner of bar area... no other tables were even being used (in repeat the place was otherwise empty). Shortly after ordering... a group (obviously not from Colorado, likely NEastern accents) sat down in an otherwise empty restaurant at the chair one down from our group. We placed on our masks and asked if they would PLEASE move down a couple of chairs or better an empty table. They replied NO WAY we can't, we have more joining our group (which never happened). Over the next 15 minutes (then 45mins), the only person joining them was the a obviously intoxicated older burnett bartender. (YES an UNMASKED EMPLOYEE) Between drinks she proceeded to sit in the chair adjacent (maybe 18 inches at most) while the entire place was empty. WE MOVED far away then ordered lunches. The group including the intoxicated BARTENDER EMPLOYEE, began taunting us again... walking out of their way to and stopping to make sure they hacked over our food. Asked to speak to the owner or manager and shit hit the fan... We paid our $100's lunch without completing our meal... and left place before this umasked buddy of the bartender group began throwing punches. I'd appreciate speaking with the owner or better the Eagle County health department. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL ESPECIALLY AS Colorado (especially mountain tourist communities) braces to avoid round 2. read more

Do not come here. The manager Cassidy and her friends are very racists! Me and my coworkers walked into the establishment to grab a bite to eat. Cassidy and her friends looked at our black coworker and said "you need to take a bath before you come in here" that is the most disrespectful and disgusting thing to say to someone who is trying to get a bite to eat after a hard days work. I do not recommend this place to anyone and do not believe Cassidy should still be employed here. read more

It was fairly busy for a Sunday in the off season. There was a 15-minute wait for a table for three inside, so we opted to sit outside and were seated right away. The patio is cute, with flowers and perfect for a good weather day. We shared an order of the classic French toast for the table, and it was solid, exactly what you'd expect. I was torn between a few items on the menu, and our waiter recommended the eggs Benedict. They were able to split my order in half, so I got to try two. The chicken and waffles Benedict was the standout for me. It's served over a sweet potato waffle with a chicken tender on top and an egg on top of that, and it was so good. The other was the bison tenderloin Benedict, which was solid but not as good as the chicken and waffles in my opinion. I subbed the hash browns for a side of fruit. Overall, a great meal, and if I'm ever back I'll have to order the chicken and waffles Benedict again. It's a fun and tasty twist on a classic breakfast staple - that waffle was top notch.
