    Glad this place is still here! Came back and the food was so delicious, and the back room still so cute! Had the Buffalo Brussels sprouts for an app - it was delicious, and my meal of Tofu Bitamap looked so delicious and tasted the same! Justin was so attentive and saved our wobbly table without us even saying anything - attentive service!

    Seafood Mac n cheese
    Patrick P.

    We had a guys weekend in Winter Park and this was the last night's dinner. After a few days of spending time together and staying up way later than we should have, drinking way more than we should have....this was a tamer dinner. Dan was our server, he was professional and helpful when we needed him. He did make an accommodation at the end, but informed us that there is no splitting checks in the future. 6 total, we paid 3 with cards and 3 with cash so he received a nice gratuity at the end. I had a drink, the jalapeño margarita which was really tasty. It bites harder than you think! When you get to the bottom it is tough to finish. Maybe try a straw so you can mix it up occasionally. Some of us got salads, others went with French Onion Soup. I have to say, I was very happy I went with the soup. Came in a pretty standard crock, emmental cheese and lots of onions and beef flavor. What made this a little more enjoyable was a few small fried onions on top for a crispy experience and a nice change to the gooey cheese layer. Altogether a great opener for me, the people who had salads were happy too. Some of the guys went with fish and chips, others went the steak route. I personally wasn't super hungry so I chose to get the seafood Mac and Cheese (traditionally an appetizer) as my dinner. Saw some lobster, but the most prevalent protein was shrimp. The breadcrumbs made for a great addition at the end. It also had peas in it which was nice. Very enjoyable. The guys that had the steak said they were cooked to their liking. I'm not sure if they felt like the pricing was worth it, but these days you have to expect some inflation. One guy ate it all so it couldn't have been that bad. We passed on desserts and coffee and everyone was pretty much drained after dinner. They looked busy here, lots of space in between tables so it doesn't get super loud or your back is up against another person. I enjoyed the meal. I will say that as I live in GA I probably won't be back, but to eat here was a good experience for me. Support small businesses!

    Lamb burger with fries (minus the house made dill pickle spear that was delicious)

    Right off Highway 40 just inside Tabernash. I was expecting a rustic tavern, but it's pretty nice and classy inside, with a surprising wide array of food options. Service was attentive and friendly, even though they were pretty busy and we didn't have a reservation. We tried the Grilled Bacon Steak (bleu cheese on the side for her, because yuck) with wild mushroom sauce. This was one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. It was delicious, and plenty of mushrooms that would have been delicious without the bacon. She ordered the soup de jour, a Thai curry soup with seafood. She said it tasted more like a tomato soup with seafood - she would have given it 3 stars. I ordered the lamb burger with fries. Unlike many places with lamb burgers, this one comes with more Mediterranean-like toppings like feta. This was the first or second best lamb burger I've ever had - it was delicious! The fries were dark, almost like sweet potato fries and I had to ask to make sure they were regular potatoes. They were - cooked just to that fine line between crispy and burned, but for all but the smallest pieces, they were just right for crispy thick fries with some crunch. This was a five star meal. The rest of the menu looked delicious - reinforced by a serving platter of meals for the table next to us - everything looked fantastic. I really wanted to try the extremely fancy meatloaf they offered (so many wild and fancy meats mixed!). Maybe next time.... If you are near Tabernash and want some upscale food (including fancy traditional tavern fare), give this place a try.

    We stopped in for a glass of wine after a hike (around 4 pm). We were early so it wasn't super crowded at the bar. I love a couple of their new appetizers. One was the baby back ribs, so tender and falling off the bone. They were served in an Asian style with papaya and black sesame seeds, lychees and dragon fruit. It was a very cool dish for this area! We also just loved the Asian style calamari with wasabi peas and a delicious lightly sweet Asian sauce. We would order those appetizers again. The quesadillas appetizer was way too heavy for our taste. The cheese and tortilla overpowered the meat and they were too soggy. That's one I would pass on next time. It's always a fun time at the bar, locals and tourists. Bartenders are friendly and helpful. The "new guy" just got his degree in engineering, hoping we will see him again, but also hope he gets the job he's looking for in his dream job! Top notch visit!

    This place was such a treasure. If you're in the local vicinity, then go. You won't be disappointed. Food is excellent and the ambiance is perfect. The lobster rolls were out of this world and Brussels sprouts were also phenomenal. My husband also loved the meatloaf and the cocktails were excellent. Loved it.

    Apple Strudel (very flaky!)

    One of the best meals I have had in a while. Casual, rustic exterior belied the quality of the meal from start to finish. Mexican wedge salad was a novel twist on the classic salad. Soup was great. Had the El Chingon- adobo lime brushed sirloin with poblano enchiladas to accompany which was an incredible collection of flavors. Finished with Autumn Berry shortcake which was fantastic. Others in my party had Caprese Chicken and vegetarian risotto, both of which they enjoyed. Very unique flavors throughout the menu. Clearly carefully selected. Great service. Great atmosphere. Will come back for sure

    Jalapeño margarita
    David C.

    We finally got to try TT on this trip to Granby, we've tried before and it's always had a long wait so we made a reservation this time. We always assumed the wait would be worth it, however we left fairly disappointed. The positives first: The jalapeño margarita was pretty good, not sure $12 good but I had two so I can't complain. I love Brussel sprouts and the buffalo Brussels here were really good. Not so good: the meatloaf unfortunately didn't register my top 10, it wasn't bad it just did not warrant the price tag it came with and the mashed potatoes were average. The chicken plate was big and had good flavor but the menu said grilled and it was actually charred. The decor was cool and unique which lends itself to be a great place to dine and hang out.

    Food and service was amazing. More on the expensive side, but very worth it. We got a table almost immediately

    The delectable & brilliantly presented calamari appetizer.
    Damon M.

    I was stunned at how this unassuming roadside tavern produced such amazing food & wine, not bc each & every single person I encountered there during my visit treated our party with some of the best customer service I've ever experienced, they did, but bc it's just right off the side of the road in the middle of nowhere Grand County. We assumed it was going to be a dive bar burger joint. Couldn't have been more wrong. The steak trio platter was my favorite of the night. I'm still thinking about that paprika sauce. Absolutely worth every penny. Treat yourself if you're ever in the area!

Fantastic service (Josh is the greatest), fantastic food, and fantastic drinks, you're going to struggle to have a bad time here. BONUS: They have a walk up window outside for drinks and food during the day! Everything on the menu is fantastic and little vacation within itself. It gets crazy busy, but they move the menu quickly and it won't be long before you are sitting down. For the win: Grab a Colorado Bulldog or Craft Beer to start. Hot Choccy for the kids. First bites are the Elk Chili or the Buffalo Wings, the biggest and meatiest wings you will ever see. For dinner, try the Short Rib Ragout or the Prime Dip. For dessert, the Crème Broulee is a can't miss'

    Woo, okay this is going to be a long one…read more... Bluebird bistro was a rollercoaster ride, starting with a frustrating welcome. We called ahead to see if they could accommodate our group of (14). The "helpful" person on the phone offered two options: 1. We could be seated separately at different tables right away OR 2. Wait about an hour for one large table. We decided to go with option 1. Arrived at the restaurant just 5 mins later (we were literally already down the road), only for that exact person to tell us when arriving a completely different story. She claimed that we didn't call her back to let her know we were on our way... ? .... Therefore she had no wait time for us and didn't know how long it'll be.. uh? Ok? We were all confused, and frustrated. As we talked amongst ourselves in the waiting area, we decided we were going to take our business elsewhere..... well what do you know suddenly a table was ready for us. At this point, it was getting late, chilly and hangry. We decided to stay and give it a try. And honestly I'm happy we did because we were blessed with a waitress named Kendra, who was phenomenal! Kendra transformed our experience, her service was top-notch. When a few people in our group were not happy with their drinks/orders, she quickly took the items off the check and brought out replacements. I had ordered the elote nachos, and they arrived without queso, instead of just bringing a side of cheese, Kendra took the entire plate back and returned with a fresh, hot order made correctly. Let's talk FOOD: Honestly it was mostly a hit. My margarita pizza was delicious. the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the balsamic drizzle was a perfect touch. The others in our group were happy with their pizzas, wings, burgers, and steaks. Even the kids seemed pretty happy with their basic chicken fingers and fries( lol ) .... I was told the only miss were the fish tacos, which were on the dry side, and my elote nachos. While the nachos were good, they didn't have much of the classic "elote" I was hoping for like the crumbles of cheese, sauce etc... Overall, it was a decent spot, and thanks to Kendra, our meal/experience was really SAVED. I took off stars because again while the food was generally good, the confusing and unwelcoming check-in process was a major let down.

This place does an incredible job cos-playing Yellowstone while completely ripping you off with a smile. It's a rustic-chic facade designed to distract you from the fact that the kitchen is operating at a high school cafeteria level. If you're going to charge "Wagyu" prices, you shouldn't be serving a steak that is bone-dry and flavorless. The rosemary potatoes had zero hint of herbs, and the broccolini inexplicably tasted like fish--a massive red flag for kitchen cross-contamination. To cap off the "fine dining" experience, our dessert arrived at the table still frozen in the center. It's clear nothing here is actually made in-house. Beyond the culinary failures, the bill was a mess. They conveniently "forgot" to honor their own Wednesday special ($50 off a $100+ bottle of wine). When you're spending over half a grand on a meal, you shouldn't have to audit the check for basic math and promised discounts. The only reason I didn't make a scene at the table was out of respect for our server, Bill, who was professional and hardworking. It's a shame the management and the "chefs" are hiding behind their front-of-house staff while running a total grift in the back. All hat, no cattle. Save your $600 and go literally anywhere else that actually knows how to thaw a dessert and season a potato.

What kept me from giving it five stars: This place is small. If you come with more than a few people good luck finding anywhere to sit. The soup was lukewarm.
