Going to Game Creek is a very unique experience since it it located in the Game Creek Bowl. You have to take the gondola and then a snow cat to get there. Very fun!! However, once you are there you won’t be disappointed. The food is fabulous and service to match, in a very high end Colorado atmosphere. Love it!!!

Fabulous trip up and down the mountain- great start to a wonderful evening. Service was very good. Beautiful restaurant! Food was perfect - the elk and wild boar entree were exceptional. Pear salad, trout appetizer, lobster bisque, agnolotti, desserts were all wonderful. Would highly recommend. We would love to go again.

Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed the evening from the gondola ride up with the cozy blankets to the CAT ride over to the Game Creek chalet. It was a beautiful sunny evening and still light when we went up. The meal was amazing and all four of us said it was the best food we've ever had and just different enough to always be remembered. Wait staff was great and helpful. CAT driver was so friendly and knowledgeable of the area. It is not a cheap evening but one our whole family will always remember and we will be back. Thank you to all who made it so wonderful. The gondola ride back down the mountain in the evening was spectacular with the moon and stars shining brightly. Loved every minute of it!!!!
