Elk tenderloin
Pam J.

Go for the experience, the food is secondary. Restaurant for The Lodge at Breckenridge. The lodge itself has the feel of an old resort lodge. Terrific views of Breckenridge Ski Area Peaks 9 and 10, Quandary, around to Baldy. Miles our server was fabulous! Attentive, knowledgeable, even stepped out onto the patio with us to take some pictures. The food was average at best, both the elk and steak were cooked per our requests. However, it's hard to give 4 stars when you're in a "fine dining" environment and served OreIda frozen french fries and gravy from a can. We also had some appetizers and desserts, that were good but nothing special. Overall, we had an enjoyable evening because of the experience and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Locals, check out the happy hour especially if you are entertaining guests for an amazing view and good snacks.

The view!

So the views are amazing. Make a reservation and watch the sun set over the mountains. This photo is 5:15pm 4/6. NOBODY HERE! We have the whole place to ourselves. Great photo ops on the deck. We had an apres ski cocktail. We didn't try the food but the wings looked good.

We chose Bird and Cow mainly because of their quoted wait time on Yelp. It was Spring Break in…read moreBreckenridge and everywhere was packed--Eric's Restaurant had a 2-hour wait--so when Bird and Cow showed a 10-minute wait for our party of five (including a very hungry 17-year-old), we added ourselves immediately. When we arrived, there was a medical situation with a guest, and an ambulance came to assist. Obviously, that takes priority, and we were patient and understanding. However, after the situation cleared, we continued waiting another 20 minutes. During that time, several groups who arrived after us were seated first. When I politely asked the host about our status, I was told those groups were seated because they were smaller parties. That didn't appear to be accurate, and when I mentioned that, the response quickly became rude and dismissive. At that point, we decided there was no reason to stay and left for dinner elsewhere. The next day, we ate at Tin Plate Pizza--fantastic food and excellent service. Ironically, while walking past Bird and Cow afterward, we noticed their kitchen area through an open back door, and it did not appear clean or well-kept. In hindsight, we're glad things worked out the way they did--but overall, this was a frustrating experience driven by inaccurate wait times and poor customer service.

My friend ordered the steak and gave me a sample, it was fantastic. I ordered the Almond Crusted Seared Ruby Red Trout, and it was outstanding. Perfectly cooked & flavorful. I really enjoyed the almond crust, a nice subtle crunch. Plus, the base had some sort of crunchy noodles? I wish I knew the name! For dessert, our group shared the Flourless Chocolate Torte with Peanut Butter Mousse and the Bourbon Apple Churro Crumble. Both were delicious. My favorite was the chocolate one because I'm a lover of chocolate. It was decadent and the smooth sweet peanut butter complemented it perfectly. Whether you're a local or just visiting Breckenridge, this spot is well worth a visit.

The evening started with them not remembering the food allergy that I told you about when i submitted your survey, but I digress. We started with a martini and an old fashioned. The martini was tasty but half of it was missing like where's the rest of my drink ‍. Second I had to ask for plates, not sure how you forget but remembered to give them to the table next to me ‍. At this point I'm over it and prefer my experience at raticato. Next strike, you ask us to order everything and you'll course it out but instead you interrupt us mid chew and ask to clear the table for our meals, absolutely unacceptable. How do you rush your customers. I get it's 8pm but you're open until 9:30 and if you're in a rush go home and send a server that wants to be there. Service, service, service. It was absolutely non existent and at a restaurant that isn't McDonalds prices, do better. You never came back to our table and asked if the food came out ok or if we needed more drinks. As a matter of fact, my spouse walked to the bar and ordered their own drink, unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. We couldn't enjoy our meal because the service was so poor and I'd absolutely not return. We had the Halibut, which was tasty but could do without the ro and the chicken dish, which was prepared well. The steak tartare was just ok and the bread and hummus was a good addition. Nah, wouldn't recommend. Please have a conversation with Olivia Z., if she's having a day she needs to exit and not work that day in hospitality. P.s. she also rushed another table that wanted to enjoy the chicken dish but she was too focused on leaving that she told them they should get dessert instead.

We sat at the bar because we heard great things about the happy hour from the locals. 2 Food: We researched before coming to Breckenridge what place had the best burger and Aurum's French Onion Burger came up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection (we like medium rare) and the sea salt french fries were delicious (no condiments needed for the burger or the fries)!! 3. Employees: The Hostess was friendly and got us seated right away. The Bartenders (Mike and George) made our evening a blast. Mike Ruda has a signature drink on the menu that he created called the Duck Fat Cadillac and it is a home run cocktail (10 out 10)!! George Johnson is a great conversationalist and is engaged with the customers. We showed him a twist to our favorite drink back home in San Antonio, the Carajillo and he made it perfectly! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Breckenridge and make sure you grab a seat at the bar and enjoy the conversations and the Duck Fat Cadillac!!

Now I recommend going early for happy hour or making reservations. We were heading out around 5:30pm and there was no seating available. For happy hour I had a glass of Rosé and lemon parmesan fries. The food, people, and ambiance were so amazing, we made dinner reservations for the whole fam. Luckily there was availability. That night we were sat promptly when we arrived and the table was set up with menus and water waiting for us. For appetizer, we started off with the Parker House rolls with the house honey butter and OMG those rolls are so fluffy and delicious. Highly suggest getting the rolls if you like bread. The butter complimented the bread beautifully. I started off the night with the blackberry smash with tequila and it was delicious. Just the right combo of sweetness. For entree we went with their Pasta Rotante which for the night was a crazy flavor combo of tomato, pumpkin seeds, crunchy carrot strings, sage and chicken sausage. I'm probably missing other ingredients, but it was a dance of flavors on the tongue. Our waiter recommended pairing this with a glass of Pinot Noir and it was the perfect compliment.

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.

No experience in selling wine or any understanding of how to navigate a dining experience. The server ended the night by bragging of how much money he made annually, $100,000, but obviously had no idea what a proper done experience should be. He pulled out a notepad to explain what was on the dish, every menu item was an expression of ADHD, there were probably 10 components on every dish and none of them tied together. I can't anticipate this place staying open, if it wasn't in a tourist town where you didn't rely on repeat customers it would've been closed a long time ago. Absolutely un sophisticated and overpriced. The ambience of the place matches the awkward experience presented on the plate. Save your money and go to a pub nearby.
