| - Love, love, loved Roaring Fork!
The dining room is warm and cozy, with lots of wood and stone in the decor. Usually a Southwestern theme like theirs can come across as pretty casual, but they manage to make it feel like a classic, upscale lodge and touches like lovely crystal and white table cloths lend to the appropriate high end atmosphere.
Based on other great reviews, we started with the Kettle of Green Chile Pork, which was as amazing as expected. The amount of pork served was more than the initial serving of tortillas could accommodate, so we needed to request seconds so that we could scrape the bottom of the kettle and finish every last delicious tidbit.
Our entrees were the Boneless Buttermilk Fried Chicken (mine), Sugar Cured Duck Breast (hubby) and Rainbow Trout (friend) All were delicious - I particularly loved the peppercorn gravy with my Fried Chicken, which was full of flavor. The Duck that my husband had was melt-in-your mouth tender and flavorful, and the skin on my friend's Trout was too good to leave on the plate (she normally bypasses it but instead it was her favorite part!)
We did order a side of the Green Chili Mac n Cheese which was good, but not life changing.
My memory is a bit fuzzy after all of that amazing food, but I believe we had a huckleberry bread pudding for dessert, which was a great way to end a super yummy meal.
Service was good - not overwhelmingly personal, but attentive and nice.
My hubby works just around the corner, so we nee to head back again very soon :)
