| - 3.5 for beer, 3.5 for food. Rounded down because I think people are overweighting the ambiance.
3.5 Beer
Not bad, but I'm certainly not impressed. I'm a big dark beer fan, so I requested a flight with every porter and stout on the menu. While certainly palatable, each felt lacking in dimension and notable flavor--it's as if they made their basic stout/porter recipe and then continued on to other things without further developing it. To be fair, their double pumpkin porter was decent, definitely the best of what we tried, but we still found it paling next to superior pumpkin porters.
3.5 Food
The food complements the beer in that it's not bad, but not outstanding. There's a fine line between subtlety of flavor and lack of flavor, and I think four peaks leans on the latter side, which would be fine if they didn't demand prices fetched by superior burgers and sandwiches. If you're promising spicy aioli, I want spicy and I want garlicky. If your promising pork belly, oh man I want that pork belly. But if you deliver a burger that's just slightly better than an average burger and demand prices of gourmet burgers...of course I'll be disappointed.
