Restaurants near Mount Princeton

I had no expectations and was extremely impressed. I would not normally mention this, but they seem to hire very attractive staff.

Great Mexican Not tex mex Big servings so share meals

Good service, good food, pricey, LOUD music which could complement the restaurant if it was turned down a notch or two. Lots of families with smaller children, unsure why music is so loud, food is to be shared - loud music complicates this action...

Great cuisine and great service. We had a very enjoyable dinner and will definitely be back!

What a great day. We drove up to Ashcroft with another couple to see the gorgeous leaves turning to fall colors, and took a nice long walk up to the Pine Creek Cookhouse before lunch. We were greeted by a delightful host who asked if we still wanted to eat outside, as we had requested that in our reservation. We walked out and were seated there, but quickly discovered it to be too cold and windy. When we told her we had changed our mind, she gladly accommodated at an inside table. Our server, Maya was absolutely charming. She immediately took our drink order, then gave us just the right amount of time to explore the fabulous menu before asking for our order. Several suggestions she made were right on point. We had been to the Cookhouse many times before, but somehow hadn't made it up there this summer. The views were exceptional, as always and the food was divine. I would call this "Upscale Local" cuisine with fun menu items like the Rocky Mountain Elk Brats, Grilled Salmon BLT, Ruby Red Trout, delicious Tomato Parmesan Soup and fabulous salads, with multiple protein options including salmon, shrimp or steak. We all commented upon leaving that we need to come back here more often!!
