  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Grounded in its home setting, the original 1890s saloon, and dining hall, The Kitchen is a precursor to the classic steakhouse. It brings a farm-to-fire approach that honors time, place, and purpose, including the farms and ranches of the Western Slope. Built around a generous wood hearth that came to be renowned in the West, the restaurant uses nature as a guide and creates space for guests to slow down, connect, and make memories.

Remarkable tableside preparations, vintage cocktails, and friendly small-town hospitality allow guests to focus on going home with an authentic charming story, safely removed from the ordinary.

    The Thanksgivng dinner we ate tonight was prepared from scratch and was truly delicious. I usually don’t like buffets as the food is often cold and mass prepared. But this food was fresh, served hot and was just like a buffet at a friends’ home, although I estimate they served several hundred people.

    Atmosphere is really neat. We sat in the dining room. Our service was fair, but not exceptionally friendly or high-end. The burger was ordered medium well but was medium rare. Pasta dish was tasty and large, but slightly undercooked. Pork chop was unfortunately just not good. Expensive cocktail was about the size of a shot glass. Dessert was also small for the price. We had high hopes but it just wasn’t worth the value.

    Hi Rhonda, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the atmosphere but apologize that other aspects of your visit fell short. We'll address your concerns with our team to improve.

    We did the chef’s table and it was so fun! Our only complaint was that the restaurant seemed to be understaffed and our server disappeared for long periods. But we loved talking with the chef and learning about the cooking techniques. Also, they need more comfortable chairs at the chef’s table.
