    Pimento Cheese Dip
    Vanessa T.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

    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!!

    Oh wow I really liked this place! I've been wanting to check out The Brinkerhoff since it opened, and it ended up being even better than I expected. The inside is gorgeous and feels really cozy, and the view is honestly one of the best in Castle Rock. It's the kind of place where you walk in and instantly think, okay, this is going to be good. We ordered the truffle fries and they were amazing. Super flavorful and perfectly crispy. The beef sushi rolls were another favorite. I don't eat fish, so I was really excited that they had something fun like that on the menu, and they were so good. I'd get them again in a heartbeat!!! The drinks were great too. Really well made and I loveddd the espresso martini! Overall, I loved it here. The vibe is great, the food was delicious, and the whole experience felt really special. I'll definitely be coming back anytime I'm in town :)

    The restaurant is beautifully designed and very elegant with the crystal chandeliers offering panoramic window facing west towards the sunset over the mountains. We enjoyed the tuna tartare as a starter and then went the sushi/maki route. Yes. Sushi! We were expecting the menu to have more of a Mexican flavor, but were mistaken. This is a steakhouse with an impressive array of sushi offerings. So, as long as that's what you're looking for, you'll enjoy it.

    We drove down from Aurora to try this restaurant and we will definitely be back. The food was…read moreexcellent. Our server Maci was very nice and helpful. She recommended an off-menu item that definitely needs to be added. It was Mac & cheese with fries, fried chicken, cheese, ranch and buffalo sauce. Sounds weird; tastes amazing. We were also very excited about the vegetarian options as my husband is vegetarian. He loved the samosa burger. My daughter liked her chicken tenders but definitely wants the Mac and cheese next time. Also the food was HOT when it came out. So good! Great find in Castle Pines!

    This experience could've been so much better, but unfortunately the service really missed the mark…read more I do feel bad because our server mentioned she was new, but it still doesn't excuse how things went. To start, it took over 30 minutes just for our order to be taken, and then another 30+ minutes for the food to come out. We were there for about 2 hours total when this should've been a maybe hour-long visit. When the food finally came, only half of it was brought out. The rest took another 15+ minutes, so most of us finished eating before the others even got their meals. We were starving after playing pickleball, so that was frustrating. On top of that, we could literally see our food sitting there for a while before it was finally brought out. Another issue was the menu being misleading. The vegan burger is advertised as an Impossible Burger, but it was very clearly a Beyond Burger... which is a big difference if you're vegan. When we brought it up, the server tried to correct us and even showed us a picture of the patties, which honestly just confirmed our concern instead of resolving it. To make it worse, the vegan burger was supposed to come with vegan mayo and tomatoes, but didn't have either. When we asked, we were told they had run out. It would've been nice to know that ahead of time instead of finding out after the food was already served. Also... the men's bathroom was out of soap, which is just not a great look. It makes you question cleanliness overall. It honestly seemed like they were understaffed, and if that's the case, there really should've been a manager stepping in to support the staff and help smooth things over for customers... especially considering the location. I'll end on a positive note... the Oklahoma Onion burger was actually really good (not the vegan one lol) I coud've eaten 2! Oh, and it seems like a good place to come watch sports as there are TV's everywhere and a well staffed bar.

It definitely had a kick to it, even without using much of the sauce on the side. Vegetables were good, but when they put the chicken on top of the fries, those end up getting a little soggy. Wanting to try something different, one daughter had the grilled chicken sandwich. While she wasn't terribly impressed at the start, the more she ate, the more she approved, deeming it to be "fine" and something she'd likely get again. The other daughter, also wanting something different, had the green chili burrito. She wasn't as impressed with the dish, saying it didn't have much taste, even after adding good amounts of salt and pepper. The burrito was described as "mid", which I guess means 'not very good.' Doubtful she orders this again. Service was fine at the start, but somewhat sporadic as the meal progressed. We needed to flag the waiter down for refills and to get our check...which sometimes happens when sitting in the bar area.
