I can't rave enough about the menu, beer and desserts. Outstanding food concepts very well executed. This place has quickly become a quintessential anchor for Pueblo's Riverwalk and an ambassador for uniquely Pueblo cuisine. Many dishes make expert use of Pueblo's famed green chiles and they have even incorporated the lesser known calabacita (young sweet squash) to great culinary success. Whether it is 2 of my favorites, the prime rib sandwich or the power up salad ( a peanut quinoa salad) their menu does not disappoint pallets and dietary preferences of all types, even the veggie burger is home made. The coffee and desserts (pastries and truffles and tarts, oh my!) will knock your socks off. The beer is also excellent, Boneman Blonde is my favorite so far. The only one knock I have on this place is that on more than one occasion the service has been slow when high volume should have been anticipated, which is either a product of understaffing by management or a simple mishap of too many call-offs on the same day, either way it made dining with small children a large nightmare. I may be nit-picking though as we normally take the kids to dine there with great success. Even when I had a dish one time that didn't meet expectations the kitchen promptly rectified it. Don't miss this place!
