Wonderful Christmas dinner experience at Yampa Valley Kitchen. We had wonderful food - roasted squash appetizer, the short ribs, salmon and pasta bolognese. Generous portions. Everything was delicious and gorgeously presented. Our server - Trinity? - was very cordial, friendly and had an inviting big smile. My favorite holiday songs played softly in the background - loud enough to hear but not overwhelming that we cannot talk. The restaurant’s decor is tasteful and current. We all would highly recommend Yampa Valley Kitchen.
