Best Date Night Restaurants in Castle Rock

Food was excellent in most regards though a few things were not outstanding. NY Strip was a bit tough, the cook was perfect but noticeably oversalted (and we like a well-seasoned steak). Service was in some ways very good and attentive but the food came out in a rush after we were told authoritatively if nicely that the restaurant likes to get the whole order in at once (anything else we can do for the restaurant’s convenience?). We obliged. The result was that the focaccia and primi came out in quick succession while we were barely getting into our first cocktail. No sooner had we finished the primi when the secondi came right after. The whole service took about 45 minutes which was crazy. The server and floor mgr did notice the “timing issue” and briefly apologized but still made it our problem to deal with. So, do we enjoy the cocktail while the food sits and gets cold or slurp down our drink so it doesn’t clash with the food? They should have 86’d the primi which should have been held back for at least 10 more minutes, and let us breathe and have our cocktails. That would have been professional. It’s awkward to have to confront the staff about it and neg on the vibe. We probably would go back but would possibly be forced to push back on the service, which is an unpleasant thing to deal with when we just want, I don’t know, maybe 75 or 90 minutes to enjoy a fine meal and perhaps 2 or 3 minutes between courses. Still 4 out of 5 stars. Food was the star.

We had attentive, wonderful service from John. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely and upbeat as always. Tonight I ordered chicken and it’s the only thing I have ever had from the menu that I disliked. And this reminded me that I dined at a steakhouse and chicken isn’t a focus. Everything else was delicious.

The most amazing flavors in the dishes and cocktails. We cannot wait to go back to try more. Hands down best meal we’ve had in a very long time. Must try fideo on happy hour menu, enmoladas de pollo and camote asado. And the avocado margarita!!

Excellent waiter and great food. A hidden gem in Colorado

My favorite local place to have a nice cocktail in an intimate setting. Perfect for a date night ❤️
