Thanks to Yelp, my husband and I came here during a recent trip to Beaver Creek and I am so glad we did! We both got the 3-course prix fixe for $45.

Let's start with my husband's dinner:
Citrus Glazed Lamb Ribs - he loved them. Apparently, they were sweet, with a little kick, without masking the natural lamb flavor of the ribs. The only thing was that they were a little messy, but it's not like he needs to impress anyone anymore.

Wagyu Beef New York Steak - This was good, but not as good as he was expecting. I had a small bite and thought it was very tender.

Double Chocolate Macadamia Crunch Bar - At this point, my husband was so full he could only have a couple bites. He did say it was amazing though.

Now on to my dinner: =)
Lobster Mascarpone - absolutely divine. Huge tender chunks of lobster sandwiched between layers of fried gyoza skins. Not a fan of fried food, so I simply took those out, but the lobster is truly amazing.

Pretzel Crusted Pork Chops - Now seeing as how it clearly says "pork chops", I shouldn't have been surprised when my plate came out with TWO... but, I still was. They were both huge pieces though and I ended up not being able to finish. The mashed potatoes, although an ordinary concept, were so creamy and delicious. The mustard and balsamic glaze they had went perfectly with the pork chops as well. The only thing is that the pretzel pieces could have been a little smaller. It was hard to cut through the pork chop with huge pieces of pretzel all over it, but it was still wonderful.

Warn Rhubarb Crumb Cake - this is comfort food at its finest. I have always loved strawberry rhubarb anything, and so was very excited to see this on the menu. It did not disappoint, and even though I was full from the pork chops already, I scarfed this whole thing down.

Service here was also fantastic. Attentive and friendly staff.

Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.
