    Place was really good. With a great view outside. Prices are high, but the quality was there. Staff was good; maybe a little too good. Kept asking me how things are. I'm glad they are checking on me, but man--nothing has changed in the last 15 seconds. lol

    My husband and I came here for our anniversary and wow the restaurant is so unique! It's absolutely beautiful on the outside and the ambiance is wonderful and perfect for a date night / special celebration. We had a later reservation but the staff were super friendly and attentive. We ordered the pimento cheese dip for an appetizer and definitely recommend getting. It was so good and we asked for more bread because it was just that good. I ordered the lamb chops which were great but expected more lamb for the price we paid. Overall, great place for a special occasion!

    I took my wife to The Brinkerhoff for her birthday, and they made the day truly special. The grilled artichoke heart was perfect, with an excellent hickory smoky flavor. We also tried the barrel-aged margarita--again, excellent, and it definitely packs a punch. Ryan was our waiter, and he was fantastic. He provided great details about the food and explained what sets it apart from other places. He also made our margarita and clearly knows how to craft a perfect cocktail.

    Such an amazing treat here. The service, quality of food and ambiance is top notch. As soon as you walk in you know you're in for a treat. Unfortunately I don't remember our servers name but I'll take a stab at it. Ian? Either way our server couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was pleasant and he succeeded. My friend and i had the charbroiled burger and it was on time. The temperature was perfect, which is not always the case at other restaurants. Nothing better than great food, great service, great view as well. Definitely want to make a return visit.

    We came here for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated pretty quickly. The staff was super nice and helpful when we had any questions on the menu! There was a slight mix up when we ordered as our waitress thought we only ordered 2 entrees when we ordered 3 to share between the 2 of us but they were super nice and accommodating. We got the grapefruit juice which was $5 for fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and it was refreshing. The hummingbird roll ($28) came out next and this was a good size! It kinda threw me off that there was a chicken salad vibe in the inside of the roll but honestly it made me want to eat more because there was a citrusy taste that balanced everything out well! I got the wagyu short ribs ($54) and subbed the coleslaw with asparagus and this was so good! The ribs were super tender and fall off the bone while the sauce compliments it really well. I'm glad I subbed the coleslaw for asparagus since I'm not a fan of coleslaw. Everything was perfectly balanced which I was a little worried about since their sister restaurant, Sierra, was pretty salty when we tried them. The last entree we got was the lamb ($58) which I'm not a fan of the gamey flavor but I did try a bite and it was super tender and juicy! I do wish this came with a side rather than just the sauce only but you get 2 big pieces of lamb. I definitely recommend this place and plan on coming back one day if we want to celebrate a special occasion!

    What a stunning restaurant! The view is gorgeous and they have a beautiful indoor and outdoor patio area that overlooks the western mountain ridge. Inside may not have the same view but it is expertly decorated and has a full open kitchen to watch the edible masterpieces be created. The staff is top notch, attentive and friendly in every interaction. I visited for a private party luncheon and didn't order from the menu but was able to sample some truly divine eats curated especially for this occasion. Have you had sushi freshly prepared from an actual whole fish? Well that was my highlight item of the meal and it was divine! I also had the most refreshing pomegranate aperol spritz. I don't make it to Castle Rock often but this is a destination restaurant worth coming back to try the actual menu items for.

    Awesome place. Amazing views, great food, killer drinks. Oh and outstanding service!! (Thank you Barrett!! Welcome back to Colorado!). The crab cakes were INSANE!! Best we have ever had. Great wine selection. The drinks are super cool!! Highly recommend.

    I am typically a strong supporter of this hospitality group and frequently visit their sister property. At the Brinkerhoff the food and beverage quality lived up to that standard. The sushi, salad, and cocktails were excellent. Our server was fantastic. Clearly working hard. Unfortunately, the evening was derailed by a poorly handled dress code policy. I arrived directly from the golf course with a client and was asked to remove my hat. I privately explained the context and requested a one-time exception to avoid disrupting a business dinner. Denied. I complied, only to be seated and immediately notice other patrons wearing hats without issue. Inconsistent policy enforcement ruins the guest experience. It was deeply frustrating and unprofessional, particularly in front of a client. Unfortunate end to what should have been a great meal. I will not be returning or recommending this location to colleagues.

    The ambiance was great and the staff, super friendly. The sushi rolls were good not great but the steaks were cooked perfectly.

    Okay this may be my new favorite spot! First of all, it's gorgeous... the vibe, the ambiance, the service! Their food is exceptional! We had the truffle French fries (yum! A staple here) and the coconut tuna roll (our fave) and the crispy rice with tuna (love, just wish it came with a few more pieces... only 4 to an order). We split the burger (pretty standard) with their loaded baked potato. Also absolutely loved the ZD white from Napa Valley! Such a delicious pour!!

    What a stunning find in the middle of Castlerock! The moment you step into this gorgeous establishment it is evident that everything will be handled with care and it will most certainly be an elevated experience. From the beautiful chandeliers to the full Mountain Views to the lovely patio ablaze with fire, this sets the tone. The service is lovely and attentive throughout. The food was as expected and came out timely, well presented and expertly crafted. Though I was only here for a quick working lunch so I didn't indulge in anything over the top. I had my eye on the crab cake salad which sounded refreshing and unfortunately they were out of the crab and the menu did say this was limited availability so I was not disheartened, it will just mean that I need to return. The truffle fries were excellent and pimento appetizer was a hearty portion and a fun way to start the meal. I would most certainly recommend this establishment and I'll be back for that crab cake salad!

    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary this past Friday evening with dinner at The Brinkerhoff. We arrived a little early for our reservation, so we stopped next door at Bar Hummingbird for a drink beforehand. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the two hostesses, who were friendly, welcoming, and seated us right away. Our server came over shortly after and walked us through the drink menu. I wish I could remember her name because she deserves recognition--she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and knew every detail about the cocktails. We ordered drinks and decided to sit outside. The view is absolutely breathtaking. It feels as though you've left Castle Rock and stepped into a private villa in the French or Italian countryside. Every detail of the property is beautifully designed, and the scenery is stunning. After finishing our drinks, we headed to The Brinkerhoff for dinner and enjoyed some of the best food I've had since moving to Colorado from California. Everything was exceptional. Our server there was also fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. I'm so glad we followed her recommendations because they truly elevated our dining experience. My only negative feedback would be regarding the hostess at The Brinkerhoff that evening. She seemed annoyed that guests were arriving and came across as unfriendly, which felt out of place for a restaurant of this caliber. It wasn't the warmest first impression. That said, this interaction alone does not warrant a lower rating because once we got past the hostess stand, every other member of the staff was incredible. The atmosphere, food, service, and overall experience are top-tier. Since COVID, it often feels like exceptional customer service has become harder to find, but not here. The staff genuinely makes you feel welcome, the food is outstanding, and the entire experience is absolutely worth the price. We will definitely be dining here again, and I highly recommend that you do too!

When we arrived, they weren't prepared and quickly pulled a table together but missed a chair and setup. This is simple but speaks to oversight and lack of attentiveness. After borrowing a chair from another table, our group sat down and no later than 30 seconds our server was asking what drinks we wanted to order. It would have been helpful to point out the drink menu or give a recommendation versus demanding to know what we wanted. The interior is noisy and covered in carpet. Over half of our orders came out wrong- wrong protein on the wrong plate with wrong side. And to top it all off, did the kitchen lose their seasoning rack? Nothing was seasoned. The steaks were a poor cut, overcooked, the poor vegetables looked like they were boiled and thrown in a serving bowl, and the baked potatoes were either straight up plain or obviously sitting under a heat lamp because the cheese was dried. I envisioned the kitchen cooking in silo, throwing their portions on a plate with no consideration of the whole meal. It's giving cafeteria food. When we go out, we measure quality by evaluating whether we could cook it as well at home. This failed by a significant margin. I'd love to support local restaurants but at this price point and lack of quality, we'll try elsewhere, anywhere but here.

It was a large order, and both the consistency and flavor were fantastic. There were a few different dishes I was considering, including the halibut, but since this was our first visit, I decided to go with the chicken Marsala, which many on here have raved about. First, it was a big portion with two large chicken breasts. On a future visit, my wife and I could split an appetizer or salad and then one order of the chicken. Next, flavor of everything was wonderful. Unlike a typical Marsala, which can be very heavy and overpowering, this sauce was lighter...in color, consistency, and taste. It was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Asparagus and potatoes were delicious too. My wife got the ravioli with pesto, and she really enjoyed her dish as well. Service was warm, pleasant, there when we needed it, but not overpowering, exactly what you'd hope for and expect from a restaurant of this stature. Very happy we finally got here. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

There was no flavor in the form of seasoning, just sour. It killed the whole vibe. The chicken was ok but since it had the vodka sauce on it, it was tossed out along with the gnocchi. We shared the slice of pizza and called it a night. Sad night for Italian food and the old stone church.
