Great views, but the flies enjoyed dinner more than we did Beautiful building, stunning views, and then things started to fall apart. The Caesar salad was solid, and the carrot cake and key lime pie were honestly fantastic. But a $115 porterhouse that's overcooked and served with fries that belong in a drive-thru? Pretty disappointing. And no bread service at a steakhouse? That felt like a real miss. The biggest buzzkill was the flies. They were relentless, not just at our table but at others nearby too. I thought the young couple next to us were swatting at each other over dessert, but they were just trying not to share their huge peice of carrot cake with the flies. The copper tables smelled odd and looked dirty. Service was painfully slow. It took nearly half an hour just to get a martini after we were seated. I really hope The Brinkerhoff improves. It has potential, but right now it feels like it's missing the mark. We've been loyal La Loma fans since the original Zuni Street days, but this just didn't hit the same. read more

The Brinkerhoff - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Over rated. Food is marginal, even one of the parties meals was so cold it had to be returned. The manager removed the cost from the bill, without asking so they knew. Even though that was nice jester the cold meal was delivered after everyone else had finished their dinner. I have had better steaks from King Soopers. It is obvious that the sales strategy is to sell the facility, which is very upscale. To cover the below average food, which was marginal at best, even when overlooking the issue with one of the orders. The price was not marginal, it was way out of line with the deliverable. All of us (4) agree. Won't be going back, I just wish I had read the reviews before attending. I am normally not one to complain, but take it for what it is. read more

Great and friendly service. Amazing food. Wonderful views. We had the burrata, chopped salad and filet. Everything was amazing. The filet melts in your mouth. The key lime pie and chocolate mousse dessert were the cherries on top of a great meal. Great wine list as well. We will definitely be back. read more

great drinks, great food and Service was amazing! The sushi rolls were out of this world the ambiance and outside fire pits were really a plus for a quaint couples night out read more

Beautiful building and view. High quality ingredients. I felt they were trying too hard to be different and their prices are not sustainable. Our waiter was rude with poor service. A waiter is not a reason to avoid. Odds are he will not last. The reason I will not go back is their extreme attempt to be different from La Loma with even higher prices. Not worth the wait or expense IMO. read more

What an amazing experience. I took my family for dinner & cocktails. Fantastic food I loved my Jackie O! Those views were amazing! read more

The Brinkerhoff - Jackie O festive cocktail! Yum! - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Its price and for that price it needs to be good. I ordered the bruised short ribs for 64 and it was 3 ribs fries ans coleslaw. The Silverskin was not taken off and it was tough. For me the sauce was overwhelming. Sushi was just ok and the burger for 26 should have been great and it was very dry and cooked over medium it came with no lettuce or tomato. I didn't ask for it that way. read more

The Brinkerhoff - Awful burger - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Service, ambiance, and food were truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything felt intentional and elevated. The menu offers flavors and dishes you simply can't find anywhere else -- creative, beautifully executed, and absolutely worth experiencing. While it's on the higher end price-wise, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience absolutely justify it. This is the kind of place that sets the standard, and we will definitely be back. read more

Tried having a business dinner here with a colleague and a client. Total miss. Staff immediately demanded he remove his hat. We explained we were just here for a business meal. Unbelievably unaccommodating. Completely rigid. The kicker is that once we walked in, we saw plenty of other people wearing hats. Selective enforcement. Terrible hospitality. Definitely do not recommend. read more

This evening for my wife's birthday we went to The Brinkerhoff. Having never been, we were not sure exactly what to expect. Well, after dinner we have vowed to return. I'll break it down through all phases of our experience. First will be making reservation. Called early this afternoon for a reservation this evening. Promptly greeted on the phone by a very kind lady. Within a quick minute was able to reserve our dinner with much ease Now with the location and ambiance. Very easy to find, and well positioned with a perfect sunset view of the mountains. Well lit environment but yet still very intimate. Next will be greeting, hospitality, and staff service. Within 10 seconds of walking we were greeted as if we were the most important people to visit this evening. That means that we felt very welcomed upon our arrival. The hospitality did not stop there. We were seated and greeted by Marquez. Now this guy was the star of the evening. He knew the menu and wine pairings in great detail. His recommendations of menu items were outstanding. Seriously, you can tell when somebody takes pride in their work. This gentleman carries himself with great pride and genuine care. That level of self respect is reflective in the respect he shows others. Through him alone he can s 10 out of 10 easily. Now, why we all came. For the food. We ordered the pimento dip for an app. The bread was outstanding. The pimento dip was rich and full of flavor. Home run was the warm honey. Never would have thought of the combination of pimento dip and honey spread across toasted bread. YUM! For the main meal I had ordered the French Dip and the wife ordered the salmon. For the French Dip the star was the freshly made French bread. It was perfect for the large amount of thinly sliced prime rib. Speaking of the meat, the Prime Rib was so tender it nearly will melt in your mouth. The Salmon looked to be perfectly cooked. My wife gave that affirmation after her first bite. Then came the dessert. Ice Cream came with hot fudge both delicious. Key Lime pie was also perfect. It came with a really neat French Whipped Cream infused with key lime. AMAZING flavor and light. Overall, excellent experience, delicious meal, and Marquez was fantastic. If you find yourself looking for somewhere to have a celebratory dinner, recommend this place. Thank you so much to all at The Brinkerhoff for a wonderful evening. 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

When you hire inexperienced servers, you get subpar service. This was from an experience over a month ago. I had recognized our male server from Maggiano's and know of his shadey background. That and attitude from the hosts? Hard pass. Even Savina's next door? You'll get better service and cheaper food from Los Dos around the corner. read more

Wow... views are amazing, decor was surprising and the service while weak was warm and it was clear they were making an effort. Tasty food and a good, amazingly priced wine list. Worth a trip. read more

A beautiful location, but would not recommend.The rather expensive steak was an unexpected flavor (Asian fusion), the waiter didn't go through the menu much nor mention what to expect with certain dishes, and our anniversary dinner/celebration didn't seem to matter at all. read more

This place is highly overrated and very hit or miss. Very overpriced for the quality of the food and service. Priced like they are Shanahans but have a long long way to go. Go to Shanahans instead. read more

We really enjoyed the food here! The ambiance and decor was beautiful, the view and outdoor seating was amazing. We can't come here often because it is very expensive, but everything we ordered was delicious. No kids menu. No happy hour. I was surprised the $85 steak came with no sides, if you wanted anything with the steak, each side was an additional $15+. Can you throw in a potato or something with the $100 steak Carrot cake was yummy If they added more specialty drinks, a happy hour, and complimentary bread, this would be 100/10 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 restaurant was everything you would want and expect from a fine dining experience: food was exceptionally delicious from start to finish, service was above and beyond and the atmosphere was unique and elegant. They had the tastiest mocktails I've ever had and the portions were perfect. We started with the Pimento Cheese appetizer, then my husband had the chicharron ribeye, myself the crab cakes, and we finished with the ice cream bonbons and key lime pie. This is hands down the best restaurant/fine dining experience we've ever had. We can't wait to come back! read more

The host and management staff at THE brinkerhoff are disrespectful and prejudiced. They informed us that we were violating their dress code by wearing a head covering. We informed them it was for religious purposes and they told us they had rules and we could only sit outside. This is unacceptable discriminatory behavior. We have worn head coverings multiple times prior to this occasion at their establishment and never had issues until today. This is unacceptable. This is castle rock not Beverley Hills. 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

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

Terrible service at the bar. The manager was incredibly rude. Also, I just heard from a friend that they do not allow hats or athletic wear now. Wow.. so fancy. I mean I can understand a dress code but no hats to sit at the bar for a beer? Cmon now, I won't be going back. 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

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

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

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

Ambience, the view and the staff were very nice. I thought the food was very good, but overpriced. I'll probably save this place for a happy hour drink and appetizer on the patio. read more

Went a couple of months ago with friends and we were very excited to try the restaurant. The restaurant is very beautiful and the view stunning. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived and we were originally seated in a booth toward the back of the restaurant where we could not even see the views. The booth seat was too deep and at the wrong angle making it very uncomfortable for the 2 women who are petite. We could not touch the ground. We asked to move and were put at a table closer to the windows which was nice but the chairs were still not comfortable. Food was decent but when I asked if I could substitute rotisserie chicken for the buttermilk fried chicken on a salad, the waitress very rudely told me no with no explanation. When I asked later she said the kitchen doesn't allow substitutions. I don't think I've ever been told no in a restaurant before for something like this. It was very poor customer service especially for a higher end restaurant. It rubbed me the wrong way and between the poorly designed furniture, the rude waitstaff and the high prices, I will not be back. read more

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The environment is beautiful and inviting, with stunning views that make the whole experience even more special. The food? Delicious. Every dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to and recommending to others! 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

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

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

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

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

The food is absolutely amazing! I'm not a sushi person and I even loved it! There's something for everyone. The staff was super friendly and always around to refill a glass or take a plate. 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
