We had rolled into the Grand Lake area after spending the morning in GCNP, looking for a place to…read moreeat. Yelp provided us with two promising options, one that Yelp SAID was a breakfast place (but was just a coffee and tea place) and one that sounded awesome (but provided little parking). So we drove down the street to the Blue Water Bakery. It's a fine spot. There's plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside. The crew is young and mostly Eastern European, judging by their accents. (Immigrants? Likely young adults on summer work visas, but I didn't confirm.) The Blue Water Bakery offers a good selection hot and cold drinks, and a small but tempting menu of breakfast items. We opted for the wraps, the meat wrap and the Taos wrap. Good food with good presentation. Indoors there are many tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy. The best part: two restrooms next door, open to the public. Go there just to see the artwork on the walls.

It wasn't too busy when we got there but more and more people came in while we were there. Some locals and some visitors like us. Cute place with rustic vibe similar to a Cracker Barrel. I got the summer salad with salmon. Delicious- loaded with lettuce and fruit. Also some tasty garlic bread with it. Hubs got buffalo meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes. He liked it but wasn't the best ever. Ha. Waitress was friendly and service was quick.

The waiter Tanner was so very nice! He was funny, helpful, knowledgeable on the menu, and very generous. He got everything out quickly and had us pick the best items for what we were all looking for. He even got my husband a "shot" of sprinkles to go with his hot chocolate when he found out he loved sprinkles so much.

I had the Luigi and again, it was ok but my husband got the Lox and he loved it! Everyone else in out group enjoyed their sandwiches as well. They work pretty quick too and we didn't have to wait a long time for them to come out. The seating outside is nice and they have several tables both in and out of the sun but they do wrap your sandwich if you want to keep walking around town which was great! The people taking orders were super nice too and loved being there to help everyone. They are on the pricey side though too so just be prepared to spend more than usual on a sandwich.

What didn't.....condensed menu, meal service was staggered, and the Tavern was only able to provide us with one group check. All of this changed when we walked in because at reservation, we were promised the full menu and separate checks. Huntington House missed out as many of us had our hearts set on the Elk Chops or Filet Mignon. Instead we were limited to the Gnocci, Burger and Salmon. The food was decent. I ended up with the Classic Salad with Chicken add on. The salad was fresh but the chicken was dry and nonexistent. Definitely not worth $30. We did order a dinner roll skillet (twice) but those were brought to the table as a shareable with the group instead of part of our couples dinner. Any other time, Huntington House might be a nice option but definitely not for groups.

I really loved their wine by the glass. My dinner was amazing, a mango crusted flounder over wild rice. It comes with a delicious soup to start. In addition we ordered two appetizers; the gnocchi was my favorite. It was gluten free and very flavorful and cheesy. I think a four of us enjoyed that one. The salmon appetizer was a bit small for four of us, but it was good. I think the steaks were a little tough even though they had good flavor. Definitely choose the flounder if you like fish; it's pretty much perfect!

When I arrived, the cashier frowned and said their website was terribly outdated and that we'd have to order from the in-store menu. Annoying but we made it work. That bit aside, they had our order ready in about half an hour. Everything was accurate. With your sandwich or wrap, you get a side of: chips, pickle, potato salad or coleslaw. The coleslaw left much to be desired; it was fresh but tasted like cabbage with oil and poppyseeds on it. My group appreciated the freshness of the food and that all the sandwiches/wraps were sizable. Side note- they had a full coffee menu and breakfast items in addition to lunch. Their coffee beans are from Allegro Coffee in Thornton, Colorado and are excellent!

The owner Phillip was drinking a Guinness at the bar when we arrived with his back to the door. No welcome. Just told us to sit anywhere. Turns out the whole family works there. Met the daughter Grace while perusing the menu. Not a lot of options but we tried the chicken wings with pints of Outlaw lager beer. Both were fairly tasty. Looking around at the tiny place made me think of a cozy little British pub. The tunes playing in the background were pleasant. The owner told us his story about buying the business and how his family worked there. Saturday afternoon had only three family members as the wife was out. As sweet as his daughter was, she was far too talkative to patrons and fairly ignored the two groups of people who came inside and sat down. Her dad was in the back washing dishes and we still waited 10 minutes to order our main dish. The other patrons even got up to look in back to see if anyone was working there because they were ignored. About ten minutes later the owner came around the corner but Daughter was still gossiping outside. He scurried around. We split the fish and chips between the two of us as well as the salad. I was not impressed with the food. The small pieces of battered fish were decent but the overcooked fries and the salad were NOT good. I was bummed. It's like they realize the fish portions are small and they overcompensate with too many fries. I really wanted to like the place. The salad dressing came in store bought packets. Bottom line; only come for the beer and you will be happy.
