    Our server, Jenni, was fantastic, the manager was extremely accommodating in every way, the atmosphere was beautiful, I hope one day to play some acoustic music in their bar area...so...to sum it up… It was a perfect Valentine's Day evening. I'm sorry that it took us so long being, Blue River locals, to find this place.

    We were warmly greeted by the hostess and manager, and promptly seated although we had arrived early. The manager noticed my husbands’ interest in bourbon, and he was very helpful, bringing the extensive list of bourbons and helping with his selection. From the cocktails, to the appetizers and entrees, everything was exceptional. We did not try the prix fixe menu but it looked amazing. This is the place to dine while in Breckenridge, we will be back!

    Found The Carlin through Trip Advisor & was impressed with the menu, the pictures of the food, and the reviews. Booked a 6:15 reservation for two at the Counter. When we arrived, I loved the curb appeal - string lights around the front and a beautiful walk up to the front doors. We were a few minutes late, but the hostess was accommodating and took us to our seats. The Counter is in front of about 4 chefs who were working hard when we sat down. Our waitress, Birdie, was super cool, knew the most popular dishes on the menu and shared her personal favorites, which helped us to decide on appetizers, main course and dessert. We had the pickled mussels (weird sounding, but oddly good), the butter lettuce salad that had a citrus honey vinaigrette that was OUTSTANDING, the braised short rib, and one of the fresh catches of the day. My husband loved his old fashioned and his red wine (I can’t really drink at altitude, unfortunately) and since we couldn’t decide on a dessert to share, we got two - the bread pudding and the key lime pie. The flavors in all of these dishes were great and thoughtful. Totally enjoyed the experience and would definitely return!
