| - A group of 7 (four adults and three kids--an 11- and two 13-year-olds) went here for dinner last night.
We were met by the chef/owner, Tim, who talked to us and seated us, telling us about the specials. In the course of talking, we learned that the chef butchers his own meat on site to create hamburgers, the pot roast, and steaks. In fact, he gave us a great lesson on how "Denver" cuts came to be. In short, he knows his stuff and he's super charming.
The foodL we had orders of the hushpuppies (wow!), salads (both were amazing), steaks (cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth tender), hamburgers (all the boys' plates were clean). We wanted to try the fish and pot roast and decided to do that on another visit. We had the pbj, a la mode, a few scoops of ice cream, the pineapple, upside down butter cake, and the chocolate cake, a la mode. We fought over them all and over which we liked the best. There was no consensus winner, which in this case means they were all great.
The drink: the pinot grigio was tasty, the gin gimlets (with cucumbers) were tasty, albeit a little sweet (which they informed us they would be), and the old fashions were quite good.
Service was attentive, straightforward and strong.
Value: We had three steaks, two big salads, with shrimp, two burgers, several orders of appetizers, multiple glasses of wine and four alcohol drinks, and lots of desert for ~$200. Given the area, the quality of the food, drinks, and desert, this was a pleasant surprise. Happy hour has very good prices.
The chef/owner has something going here that is worth checking out. We're going back.
