I know enough to tackle many cheeses - from chevre to cheddar and everything in in between. However, I was cursed by mozzarella - for the life of me, I could not make mozzarella that didn't turn out like hard, tasteless rubber - trying to follow a recipe off the internet - I was convinced it was an impossible cheese. After Kate's hands-on class, not only did I make an incredibly tasty mozzarella - she also showed us how to turn it into a special Burrata - which tasted amazing and looked beautiful. I learned how to make a great mozzarella in the class and regained my confidence in tackling this cheese - thanks to Kate's careful instruction and sharing several tips and tricks to this tricky little cheese.

The staff is outstanding--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. You can tell they really care about what they're building here. The wine selection is excellent, and their flights are a steal at just $14. They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

Both the spicy and the regular ranch are watered down versions. We sat on the patio and while it's nice to sit outside it is directly next to parking. Motorcycles and cars coming and going while you eat. All in all it a bad experience but not a great one either. Meh. It's a big maybe for a return visit.

Nice second stop at Odell yesterday. We started with a flight, as well as splitting a can (not on…read moredraft) of the Limerado. We liked the latter enough, so we took a six-pack, priced at only $8.99, home with us. Honestly, this one may have been my favorite. As far as the flight, we both liked the Lagerado the best and each enjoyed another pint of that after finishing the flight. I also liked the Kernel Mexican lager, although we both agreed it had a bit of a weird taste. The 90 Shilling is always a safe bet. Further confirmation neither of us like pilsners, that one wasn't great, and the Old Doods stout wasn't our jam either. It was a lovely day, so we sat outdoors relatively early on a Sunday. Plenty of shady seating for us. Counter service was very friendly too. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Ft. Collins.

The class scheduled for 7pm started a little late as the prep staff were a bit behind schedule with the mis en place . The chef instructor was very knowledgeable and extremely engaging and probably the most enjoyable part of the class for my friend and I. He quickly dove in to get the class on track for the 8pm "break time" of 15 minutes. This is when you are supposed to shop and spend more money in the store. The class itself is designed for complete beginners and there is little opportunity for hands on experience as you work in teams of 3-4 people and most of the prep work was done before class. Eat before you go to class as there are no nibbles and dinner isn't ready until after 9. Our Parisian dinner, eaten standing as there is no seating, might have been improved with a glass of wine (local restrictions permitting). It would have been nice to have the menu displayed on the big screen monitor for the class with a timeline and at least one copy of the recipes per "cooking" team or on the monitor for reference during the class. The chef did send us the recipes by email afterward which is appreciated.

Located in rural weld County in Fort Lupton, sits this little gem that you have to check out!…read more At my daughter suggestion with family in town from far away cities, we chose Salt and Acres as our meeting place on a warm fall weekend. The first thing that grabs you as you're driving through the back, roads of Weld County among farms and ranches is the warmth of this location with trees, a long drive and a small pond. It truly is a picturesque setting and some families were already walking around the pond and nearby grounds taking family photos. We had a small wait for our table, which was not unexpected since had a large group. The drink options were amazing and the bartenders on duty did not disappoint with their preparations. The menu however, was great for those who were seeking carbs, but left something to be desired if you were seeking any protein options. We started with the Charcuterie and Bruschetta Barrata boards along with the Warm Spinach and Artichoke dip. A couple of flatbread pizzas wrapped up the dinner options for us. We were celebrating a birthday and brought a cake in the staff was kind enough to let us keep it in the cooler until it was time to be served. With almost every table filled outdoors and indoors, the staff did a good job of keeping up with our tables needs and balancing the other tables in their respective stations. We did have to seek out our waiter a couple of times to order additional items but they were quite busy. This place is ideal for a light, relaxing meal with drinks and the company of friends. It is not the place to go for those with a hearty appetite as you may be disappointed with the scarcity of options on the menu, but for events in a beautiful setting, you can't go wrong here!
