This was hands down the best dining experience we had in Breckinridge. The food was absolutely amazing. The best coq au vin I’ve ever had. The service was also amazing and we had a wonderful time!

We had a great experience eating at Coohills before a Saturday evening Avalanche game in December. The food was delicious and came out very quickly. The plating and flavors are superb. We had three different desserts and they were all amazing, especially the whisky ice cream. The energy in the bar was fun, and made even more so by a special shot one of the bartenders brought around for all guests to celebrate the Avalanche. We have been eating at Coohills for many years, and this was the best all-around experience we've had yet.
