    Truffled tater tots
    Diem P.

    We came close to missing out on this great dining experience when the online system showed no availability. Luckily, we called in and the restaurant was able to accommodate us. Restaurant was cozy and service was great! It's always nice when your server understands the menu and seems to have an appreciation for the food! As suggested by most Yelpers, we started off with the truffle tater tots..no regrets! Tots were perfectly cooked and truffle flavor was not too overwhelming. Can't go wrong with either the lamb or elk...but the sauce that comes with the elk really compliments the dish very well! The mashed potatoes were tasty as well - smoky and buttery...yumm! As a must - finish your meal with the white chocolate bread pudding with added vanilla ice cream! The restaurant is closing for 3 weeks since it's the low season. But definitely come when they reopen!

    A group of friends and I were here visiting. Came for HH which has some good deals. Got the truffle tots which were delicious. Then the pork belly which was chewy and tough but the flavor was ok. A few of us got the Kobe beef burger. I asked for mine to be cooked medium rare but it was rare and I sent it back. My friend's burger was also undercooked and we both had mild GI upset from it the next day. My other friend got the fried chicken sandwich which had a decent amount of spice. Service was slow though they weren't that busy and the waiter forgot to bring one of my friends beers for over 20 min.

    Visiting the area for snowboarding trip and decided to try this place with friends. Warm Beet Salad. 10/10 Everything was fresh and tasty. The goat cheese was in fact warm. However, I did not taste the beets were roasted. Maybe just sautéed. Fried Nashville hot chicken sandwich. 8/10. Very juicy and indeed spicy. The slaw was fresh and tangly. Paired with traditional french fries and a one of the best tasting sliced pickle Ive had. Seriously, as simple as a pickle but something special about this pickle. This would be a 10/10 had the portion of the chicken been bigger. For the price, I believe the portion of the chicken should have been bigger. Our server Oneydi took care of us really good coming by often to check on us.

    Favorite spot in Frisco, maybe even all of Summit. Place can get popping so make sure to scoop a reservation during busy season. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend a spot on the beautiful outdoor patio during nice weather or by the fireplace inside on colder days. The bar is also great for a game with plenty of TV viewing angles. We routinely stop by for happy hour with great deals on food and drink. Always new specials each day and they rotate regularly based on what's available seasonally. Highly recommend the cocktails. They're made very tastefully and never overly sweet. Wine and beer lists are solid too. Lots of awesome apps depending on time of year. The carrots are great. Well cooked and have an awesome nut and goat cheese topping with herbs. Beet salad is great. Baked ricotta is one of our favorites. As is the smoked salmon dip. The rocky mtn bolognese is a go to for us. Same with the ribs and lamb chops. Ribs are fall off the bone. Burgers are also very well done. Lastly, the desserts are all top notch. They're made in house and rotate as well. Gotta make sure you don't skip the dessert with an after dinner drink especially if you're out on the patio on a warm summer night. Enjoy!

    Came for family dinner and we tried many things! For starters we had the salad, salmon bruscetta & tater tots. I thought the bruscetta left something to be desired, and wished they hadn't run out of octopus. As for mains, we ordered the ribs, elk, lamb, tri-tip steak, roasted chicken & a few other dishes. I thought the elk was meh, my friend said the ribs were ok, the roasted chicken lacked flavor but the lamb chops were great and a sizable portion. Their smoked mashed potatoes were unexpected and delightful.

    Great steaks and apps. Our server was very helpful with recommendations and answering any questions we had about the menu options. We tried pork belly and octopus for apps, and mains included pork chops, ribeye, elk, and lamb. All were awesome. We had a table near the bar but it wasn't loud like a sports bar. Ambiance was nice.

    Truffle tots

    The Tavern West is a nice place to go to if you are looking for a fancy place to eat and drink! Although the vibe in their dining room is a little more upscale, they have a comfy bar area where you and your friends can sit and grab a quick bite to eat. Additionally I have always had good service here and their food is great! It's a standard American steakhouse and while you're there they have an amazing view of the mountains out front. Steak, cocktails, and a view of the mountains? What's not to love.

    Great experience. Two of us came around 6:30 on Fri night and they were full but had two spots at the bar....Bingo! Good selection of local brews on draft. My son ordered the Rocky Mountain Bolognese ($27) and enjoyed it. I went with the Wood Grilled Salmon ($32) and it was a good choice...very flavorful entree. Service at the bar was friendly and prompt!

    Ribs with smoked mashed potato's. Amazing!

    Family night and as usual the food and staff delivered. Great atmosphere, best cocktails in Frisco Colorado.

    Walked into here on a Tuesday night, it wasn't packed at all but we didn't have a reservation. The…read moreonly thing they had was a high top at the "sushi bar". The sushi bar wasn't really lively, they block the view overall so you don't get a "sushi bar" experience from the chefs. Our waiter seemed flustered because he was understaffed but we put our orders in for drinks and tried to make the best of it. I ordered a mocktail and it was so sour you couldn't drink it. So I asked for a different drink. When we got our miso soup it was so salty that none of us at our table couldn't finish it. The "bread" for the table isn't impressive and they decided to plate our entire groups order on a skateboard? Which had paint chipping off of it? (Food grade? Probably not) Like a lot of other reviews it's confusing here. The sushi....the sushi was warm. My cuts of fish on my nigiri's that were raw were warm. The monster spider roll was rolled so bad that the nori sheet was hard to chew. As the night went on tables weren't used, and we could have sat at a table with the turn around times we saw. Overall, for the price they charge it's not worth it. Go into downtown Breckenridge if you're looking for sushi because this isn't it.

As far as I could tell it was an incredibly dry piece of chuck swimming in salty thick meatloaf gravy. It was edible, but only because I was hungry and knew what it cost... you needed water to get the meat down. Asparagus was good. I started with a specialty roll, the Hot Hippie w/salmon. $20 (12 plain. 8 for the fish). Good but not $20 good. I guess I'm used to specialty roles being oversized, which this was not. Also got the Iwai old fashioned. Tasted like a glass full of crushed ice with whiskey. Could barely tell it was an old fashioned. So, my meal was $80 before tip, nothing was great, I'd try somewhere else or maybe just different options. The front bar seemed lively and fun. Maybe that's the better call with an attentive bartender and conversation.

    Anniversary dinner! My girl and I were traveling all day and picked a random dinner spot, but we…read moregot LUCKY. I'll be separating this review as I do all my others! Food: I thought it was going to be just so-so, Olive Garden level italian food. I was wrong! I first asked our waiter, Brian, for recommendations and he said they were known for their Mama G's classic red sauce. We ordered the bruschetta and I got the linguini and meatballs, which has the famous red sauce. My gf got the lasagna and the greek salad. The bruschetta was delicious. I really hate it when restaurants throw diced tomato and basil on toast and call it bruschetta, Greco's did not. The crostinis were perfectly toasted - crispy but didn't crumble everywhere and didn't cut up the inside of your mouth. The balsamic reduction over the bruschetta was delicious, but I think the tomatoes, red onion, basil and garlic were mixed with some balsamic vinegar or something similar before being added to the crostinis and glazed. Vinegar should always be used to brighten veggies, not overpower them, and Greco's nailed the vinegar-tomatoes proportion. It was fresh, crisp, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of salt to enhance the tomato flavor. My girl's greek salad was huge. I didn't taste it, but I trust her opinion, and she said it was delicious. She didn't finish it but did take it back to the airbnb and is already snacking on it again :) The lasagna was delicious as well. The noodles were thin, so it didn't feel like we were biting into a chunk of pasta toast with sauce and ricotta as the butter, which happens often with lasagnas. This lasagna had the best ricotta cheese I have ever had. I asked the waiter if they used a bechamel sauce in the lasagna because of how creamy it was, but it was just the ricotta! They do not make it in house, I asked, and I wish I knew where it was from. Gf still won't stop talking about the lasagna and called her brother to tell him about it, lol. The star of the show: The red sauce. Our waiter wasn't kidding when he said it's delicious. I genuinely got mad when I tasted it because I've always been proud of my red sauce, and no sauce has ever beaten my recipe, but now I'm determined to scratch my recipe up and recreate this one. Sauce is the most important part of a pasta dish, so a plain sauce always means a plain dish, and you have to depend on parmesan to make it better. Not this one! It was a beautiful, bright red, fresh, tangy, with the smaaaaaaaaaallest hint of spice. I'm wondering if they add a splash of balsamic reduction for the tang? Not sure, but sure as heck wish I knew. It literally tastes as vibrant and bright as it looked. If there's one thing you try at this restaurant, it has to be a dish with the red sauce. Lastly, we got a free cheesecake with a homemade strawberry sauce. I didn't know the sauce was homemade until I bit into it and I literally wanted to throw my spoon down and stand up out of pure bliss like that guy on TikTok who checks meat for tenderism. It was so good. Strawberry sauce is often overpowering, just a thick, nasty, too-sweet syrup, but this sauce tasted more like a jam. I loved it. Drinks: I got water. Gf got riesling. She really liked it! Environment: Warm. As soon as you enter, it feels like you're walking into a cozy, golden little restaurant. They do have TVs all over, so if you're into sports, good for you! The lighting was not bright but not dim, it felt....gold? That's the best way I can describe it. It wasn't too loud in the restaurant, so you didn't have to speak up and you couldn't hear other people's conversations, but it also wasn't dead quiet and we did go when there were only about 4 other tables being used. So I really don't know about how loud it is when it's packed! It was also warm in there, which is nice for a Texan like me who isn't a fan of the cold ;) Overall the environment was very warm and welcoming. Price: Fair pricing! Actually, pretty affordable for such fresh and local ingredients! Our bill was about $100 for what we ordered and the two glasses of wine. I think that's pretty fair! Staff: I didn't catch the name of the guy who took us to our table, but he was very welcoming and kind! We chatted about what we're doing here in Colorado and he let us sit at the booth table right next to the window. He said it was the best seat in the house ;) He was great! We also LOVED Brian, our waiter. He was so welcoming, kind, attentive, he knew all about the menu, he was incredible. He literally made our nights from how much of a doll he was. This was my first night up here in Colorado ever, so he was the first Colorado-ian that I spoke to! I truly hope everyone else here in this state is as great as he was.
