| - Strip was in a quaint little "village" that offered shops as well as an ice cream place, pizza place, and some other quick stops to nosh on some food. Strip's atmosphere was really beautiful inside. It was a rustic barn with handmade iron work on the interior, as well as flashes of modern elegance.
We sat upstairs and our waiter, Charlie, was extremely friendly and patient with our group of first timers. The Moscow Mule was a big hit at the table, although they did not have the copper mugs that they are typically served in. The food was above average. I had the lamb chops, which were good, but not great. I ordered them medium rare, however, they were definitely medium. It stated on the menu "1 pound of Colorado lamb chops", however, the four lamb chops that I received did not appear to add up to 1 lb (regardless of the weight prior to cooking). They were however enough to fill me up. It came with a copious amount of garlic mashed potatoes and some type of relish on top. Overall it was good, but I wouldn't order it again.
The steaks at the table were fantastic. All were cooked to their liking and the sides were pretty good. The scalloped potatoes are a must (I know, as standard as that sounds... but they really were fantastic and flavorful!). The macaroni and cheese was overrated in my opinion, but decent nevertheless. The creamed corn was okay, and the seasonal vegetables were pears and butternut squash in a brown sugar butter. I didn't care for them, but they weren't bad either.
The desserts were great. The flourless cake had a strong dark chocolate flavor and was wonderful! But the highlight was the homemade monkey bread with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel drizzle on top. Holy hell on wheels was that amazing! Had our server not recommended it to us, there's no way I would have ordered monkey bread. But it was all made from scratch and I was a proud member of the clean plate club as a result!
