I've been here three times in five weeks. I have one request, bring something over from La Loma! Steak and shrimp fajitas with the green chili. I'm running out of things and this would have been perfect. Lastly, the deserts are a 4 but bring over the Mud Pie!! read more

Beautiful restaurant, very good service, and good food. The issue is way too overpriced and not really a seafood/steakhouse. Steakhouse yes. At their current price points, I'll gladly drive a little further north to Eddie V or Shanahans for a true seafood/steakhouse experience at the same price. PSA - a bottle of Flowers Pinot Noir at $155 is just obnoxious! read more

My wife refers to this place as "the tasteless sushi place." Really expensive for what this place is. It's got some great decor but overall the food is really underwhelming. Our table ordered a burger, short ribs and the ahi tuna salad. The only thing we got that I was impressed with was the baked potato and cocktails. Service was excellent but food was cheeks. read more

This review is for takeout only. I recently had someone bring me the coconut tuna roll and the salmon nigiri and was pleasantly surprised. While I found the addition of coconut on sushi to be an odd addition, the sushi itself was fresh and beautifully prepared. The salmon nigiri was the highlight. Fresh, decadent, absolutely delightful. The coconut tuna roll was delicious as well, I think I would skip the coconut topping next time as I found it over powering. I'd love to come and try more as the menu appears to have so many dishes that sound really tasty. read more

It took over two hours to get our main course. The prices were ridiculous on top of it. The place is very nice but two hours is too long for food. I won't come back. The artichokes were bad also. Would not recommend. They also brought my truffle fries when I asked for regular. read more

Beautiful space, amazing service, great food and cocktails. The hummingbird cake is delish!

This is exactly what Castle Rock needed! Amazing fine dining. Not one bite was spared on our night out here. We ordered the Pimento Cheese appetizer, Lamb Chops, Ribeye, Mashed potatoes, French fries, key lime pie, and a couple of the "family secret" margaritas. I'd eat this every day if I could! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who likes great food. They had other items not considered fine dining that we'll def be back to get! Highly recommend asking for Cassidy as your waitress! She's as sweet, kind, and professional as they come! The manager did a great job listening to us rant about the food and service and let us know about the venue opening up soon that will be right next store. We'll def be there to check that out! read more

Lovely restaurant...friendly, competent service, and great food. The Ahi Tuna Salad was one of the best I've ever eaten. My husband liked his burger and truffle fries. His Pilsner was great and my Aperol and soda was perfect. Our booth in the bar was just ok. Not the most comfortable. We Will definitely opt for a table next time. And, there will definitely be a next time! read more

We had a wonderful experience! The service was outstanding. Our waitress had great recommendations and knew the menu very well. She checked on us frequently but not over the top. It was very busy for a Sunday evening so we were glad we made reservations. We ordered: Coconut Tuna Roll: It was a good roll with fresh fish, but wasn't our favorite of the night. Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna: A must order. These 4 pieces were amazing and we will definitely order again. Hawaiian Tuna Tartare: Wonderful dish. It was very light and fresh. Chipotle Glazed Wagyu Short Ribs: This came with 3 ribs. It was delicious, but very heavy. We were so full we took half home for leftovers, but it reheated well. Carrot Cake: We took most of the dessert home, but it was great even the next day. We were surprised it was cold versus warmed, but we would order it again. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place on a whim without reservations at around 5:30 on a Saturday. We didn't have a reservation (were told it would be a 2+ hour wait) and so we went to the bar for seating. A couple was leaving, so we were able to sit right away. The bar area was fairly full, but it seemed to turn over enough for people to not have to wait too long for a seat. There was an oddly drunk older gentleman that made for an odd entry to the restaurant, but he left quickly, thankfully, and the group at the bar had a good laugh. The menu looked phenomenal, so we ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna, prime rib beef roll, chicharron de ribeye, and a burger with truffle fries. Everything was spectacular, and next time we come, I'll be focusing on the chicharron de ribeye because it was EXCELLENT. Spectacular food, great ambiance, gorgeous sunset... Could be casual, could be a little elevated. We'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic views, atmosphere and excellent diverse food choices including sushi and steak options. The restaurant is situated in a very appealing location with views of castle rock's landscape during the day and night lights at night. Friendly service, outdoor patio and excellent food. Prices on the high side. read more

Wow! What a beautiful and delightful addition to Castle Rock! We just had a yummy lunch at The Brinkenhoff (same folks who brought us Sierra and La Loma.) The service was friendly, and refined. The food was excellent. The menu is like if you took the Mexican out of Sierra, and added Sushi + Steak. The Sushi was the highlight! read more

This place is a hit! It's beautiful. It may have taken a long time to build, but it was worth the wait. Rustic brick with wood and crystal chandeliers look out on gorgeous panoramic views. Our waitress was Bella, and she was lovely. She was friendly, attentive, and she knew the menu well. The cocktails were delicious. The food was delectable. We will definitely be back for date night very soon! read more

Ambiance, Service and Food were all very good. Someone mentioned that the website stated that the dress code was encouraged good taste. But in todays world- you will see people with nose rings, tattoos, tee shirts, ball caps, shorts and flip flops!!! With the sky high prices for everything, I suppose the restaurant is not going to be enforcing a dress code!! I hope the restaurant succeeds - but the owner is a rich oil man - and I have to assume that he can afford to operate it no matter what. But hoping for the Castle Rock area to support the place is maybe asking a lot. Love this place already. The location and views are fantastic. Easily the nicest place in Castle Rock. read more

The food and atmosphere was wonderful! The cherry on top was the top tier service we received from Shane he was so knowledgeable and kind! We will definitely be back! read more

Hey, guess what? The Brinkerhoff & Bar Hummingbird are finally open! It's owned by the same folks who brought La Loma / Savina's. You'll find amazing food, super friendly staff, and breathtaking views. They're keeping things low-key for now, so the opening is just news by word of mouth. There's plenty of reservations available if you're looking for something new to try in the area read more

The Brinkerhoff - View from the table - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Absolutely outstanding on all levels. Best French dip ever. Best sushi ever. Outstanding view. Attentive staff. Well done!

I would go back for the view but not the sushi. Sushi was below par and all the rolls are in soy paper. The menu says nothing about soy paper. We also ordered the nigiri which was just as bad. Maybe a few more menu options would be a good idea. Let's see some Sierra plates please! I'll give this place another chance. Why is there a rusty truck on the back patio obstructing part of your priceless view? read more

Had an amazing dinner and very happy with this new restaurant in Castle Rock. Made reservations and was seated quickly. Service was on point, server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The chicharrones were amazing- would make a great meal in itself. The short ribs flavor was great as was the slaw. We topped off the night with tres leches cake which was also very good. I would highly recommend, pricing seems in line with the quality of the environment and the food. We will be back. read more

My husband and I went on a date at the Brinkerhoff and had a great experience! The atmosphere was curated beautifully and the staff were wonderful. Our waitress offered really tasty drink and food recommendations. Although the prices are a bit more than typical dinner places in Castle Rock, we felt they were appropriate given the huge serving sizes and positive restaurant experience as a whole. The views and outdoor space are especially beautiful! We will be back! read more

The Brinkerhoff - Steak Florentine, baked potato, & truffle fries. Amazing!!!! - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Upscale but not over priced. Drinks - hubby had the IPA. I tried the Jackie O and Ritz Serendipity. The family barrel drink is tequila (we thought whiskey or bourbon) but did not try it - next time! Sushi - we tried the crispy rice spicy tuna (yum!), The Hawaiian (interesting flavors and the macadamia nut crunch was unique, really liked it), and The Hummingbird (good mix of flavors, more traditional style roll). Wedge salad was good - a lot of blue cheese crumbles, crispy, and fresh. Steak Florentine was delicious. Juicy and tender. Came with truffle fries. We also tried the bearanaise sauce - probably would have it with another steak next time. We toured the outside and saw a beautiful sunset and some rabbits. They are opening the other side bar soon for less formal dining and events - Bar Hummingbird. There is a bunch of outside seating for large groups or couples tables to soak in the view. Gorgeous! They also have dessert but we didn't try it. They have key lime pie, carrot cake, and tres leches. The service was efficient. Someone was always chdcking on us or grabbing plates to keep it moving. Very attentive and polite. read more

Really wanted to love this place! Was so excited to try it and unfortunately was disappointed. Not with the ambience that is fantastic and our server was very nice. The price for what you get just doesn't make sense. This isn't the Sushi Den but charging those prices and this isn't Shananhan's but charging those prices. We had the Strip. It was average at best. The Sushi isn't that special either. The highlights were the Spanish Gin and Tonic and the Crab Salad. The rest of the menu is disjointed and the service was really slow!! My wife and I will give it one more chance but my guess is after the newness wears off this place will be in trouble if the food quality doesn't improve, the menu doesn't find a sweet spot and the prices don't come down. At this point there are better options 20min north and that's sad because we live 5min away. read more

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambience is warm, stylish, and inviting -- the kind of place that instantly makes you want to settle in and enjoy the moment. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated. The food is outstanding. Each dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. Everything we tried was memorable, from the first bite to the last. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the service. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, the staff elevates the entire experience and makes you feel like a valued guest. A perfect spot for a special occasion or simply an unforgettable night out. We can't wait to return. read more

Fantastic service, our waiter was very attentive. On the moderate to high side price wise. Would recommend to try and judge for yourself.

It was a wonderful experience. The decor, service, food, and drinks were outstanding. Wish they had a couple more fish options on the menu. Beware that it will be an expensive night. read more

The restaurant was beautiful. Service was great. Exactly what you would expect from Brinkerhoff Hospitality. But the food was also what you expect from Brinkerhoff. The drink I ordered, Jackie 'O, was delicious, but $22 seems very pricey for Castle Rock. The burger was also good, but it was covered in raw red onion and the fries were truffle fries. Two very strong flavors that were not noted on the menu. That should be added. The $85 fatty New York strip was covered in something called Billionaire's butter and tasted like barbecued chicken. The USDA prime New York strip should be able to stand on its own and the chef should be able to enhance the meat flavor instead of hide it. It also had to be sent back because medium came out medium rare. We also ordered the coconut tuna roll. It was good, but you can't taste any of the ahi tuna. Mostly tasted like coconut. But the macadamia crunch was a really nice texture I've never experienced in sushi. Overall, great atmosphere to get a drink and chill, amazing service and staff, but just another overpriced, underdelivered, Castle Rock restaurant. read more

The food and drinks were amazing! The service was great. The ambiance was perfect! I had the lamb and it was delicious! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it is very expensive. $22 for a cocktail is a lot! They have a special margarita and it hands down was the best margarita I have ever had at a restaurant. read more

The food was excellent- we tried all the small plates and they were phenomenal. Specifically the pimento cheese with honey and bread and the grilled artichoke. The view of the foothills was spectacular as well. Service was also excellent with highly knowledgeable and attentive staff. We were celebrating a birthday so they also brought a fun desert read more

Food was just okay. Crab cakes were not worth the price. The steak was overseasoned and the sushi roll had too much mayonnaise. Much better restaurants for a third the price. Disappointed. Won't go back. read more

So gooood!!! W have been going to their sister restaurants for a while and this place has only been opened for a week. The food the ambiance the cocktails are outstanding! Bring on the fine dining game Colorado !!! read more

Great experience overall! Food was amazing. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the scenery.

Wife and I had the hamburger and truffle fries. Burgers were good but not the best. Fries were the very thin style with truffle seasoning. They were ok. Both the burger and fries were too salty. I wouldn't say this is the best burger in town just the most expensive. Service was very good. The restaurant is very nice with lots to look at. Might go back go a steak sometime for a special occasion. Pretty pricey. read more

I booked The Brinkerhoff for my husband's birthday and the experience was....interesting--not the best, but slightly redeemed. It was myself, my husband, and our 14 month old son. I booked this reservation about a month in advance with a note that we need a high chair for my son. We arrive and the host says "We have you all checked in, but just to let you know we don't have high chairs." Thinking it was because they were newly opened and hadn't gotten their high chairs in yet or something, I said "Are you able to run next door to your sister restaurant Savina's and use one of theirs?" The host says "....no, sorry" After a moment of disbelief I ask "Is it your plan to ever get high chairs, or no?" Host says "No, it's not in our plan." ......mmkay. So we sit down at a booth with our son on our lap--not ideal for an entire dinner--contemplating if we should stay or go. A similar encounter happens with the hostess who seats us--no effort to accommodate at all. I made a comment about the situation and she says "sorry, way above my pay grade." We sit down and our server, Jake, was absolutely amazing. He was sympathetic of our situation and even offered to go next door to Savina's to get a high chair for us. He was the first person there who actually felt caring and accommodating. We order some drinks but it became clear we couldn't do this the entire dinner (baby sitting on our lap while we eat and drink). I ended up asking for the manager because I wanted to tell them about my experience so far. He came over--Sean was his name--and basically echoed the same sentiment as the host stand, which was "No high chairs and nothing we can do." I proceeded to let them know the situation: I booked this reservation a month in advance for my husband's birthday, put a note on the reservation about needing a high chair, and the unaccommodating nature of the host stand upon arrival. He listened, checked with the general manager/owner and they said "no, we're not willing to accommodate"--but we could go next door to Savina's if we wanted. I asked if they had a table ready for us to walk in since there is usually a wait, he went back to call/check, then came back saying there was a 45 min wait so as a result of the situation "they would accommodate and get a high chair from Savina's." We ended up staying and Jake our server was the best employee there, the food was good, but here's the bottom line: IF YOUR RESTAURANT IS NOT KID FRIENDLY, YOU NEED TO SAY IT SOMEWHERE--ANYWHERE! It's not online anywhere as of writing this review--not on the website, not yelp, not Google, not anywhere. Had someone seen our note on the reservation about needing a high chair and called us saying they couldn't accommodate, then fine! We will make a different reservation and go elsewhere--no big deal. Or even upon arrival, if the host or manager said "We can't accommodate but we called our sister restaurant Savina's who can take you right now" then even that is some sort of effort to accommodate given the situation. But for the host AND manager to be entirely unhelpful and accommodating? Not good. Very bad experience. I can understand and appreciate the concept of an adult-centric, non-kid friendly restaurant--there are many out there--but The Brinkerhoff does not state this on their website, on yelp, or anywhere online. Further, if you see a note on the reservation that we are requesting a high chair, maybe call us and let us know the situation so we can make alternate plans BEFORE we arrive. Just an interesting experience all around--fine food, nice environment, but not what I would call a restaurant focused on hospitality. TLDR: *Lack of focus and dedication to true hospitality *NOT KID FRIENDLY--and this is noted nowhere on their website, yelp, etc. (lack of info is not what you'd expect from an experienced restaurant group??) *Unaccommodating staff and ownership (exception was our server Jake who was amazing) *Good food, not phenomenal (honestly, on par with Sierra, so just go there since they have much more friendly and accommodating staff) *Beautiful building and location (but doesn't make up for average staff and hospitality) Would we be back? Maybe if it was just my husband and I since it's close by--but again, the total lack of hospitality and accommodation was really off putting so I'd rather take my business elsewhere. All they needed to do was be more upfront about their adult-centric concept. And since they weren't--be more willing to accommodate. read more

Edited to add: a few hours after eating here I came down with the worst FOOD POISONING - I had the seared tuna salad and the spicy tuna with crispy rice which my family did not have (and they luckily didn't get sick). I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone. When we called to let them know the manager couldn't have cared less. If I could give this place zero stars I would - eat here at your own risk! Original review: This place is honestly inconsistent. We've been here a few times now but today prompted me to write a review. They were out of two main entrees by 5:30 pm (the short rib and the French dip sandwich), which is shocking. Last time in January we were there to celebrate a birthday and I was so excited for my friend to get a sparkler but they had a tiny candle for her - however today they're back to having sparklers. In January the burrata app was amazing so I ordered it today and it was not good - the tomatoes shouldn't have even been served with it as they were not ripe. The worst part about this restaurant though is their attitude towards children. They say they are kid friendly but they are not (we had called in advance to ensure they were ok with kids dining there and were assured yes, of course). In October they said high chairs were being ordered, which made sense since they had just opened. They still don't have high chairs five months later so pretty sure they're never coming. Also, the kids menu has meals that are the same price as an adult entree - $24 for a chicken sandwich where they remove ingredients to make it plain but they don't remove any dollars from the price. Also on prior visits the host staff has been super condescending to us about having a child and a high chair there - the wait staff and other guests seem to enjoy children but the host staff has a terrible attitude. Just be honest about your stance on children at your restaurant - don't say they're welcome but have small signals to show they're really not. You're a restaurant in the suburbs where families live so the condescension doesn't land well. read more
