About the restaurant

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.
