The place has such a great atmosphere — mountain warm, a little lively, but still super comfortable. The staff was really nice and on top of everything. The food was straight-up great. The fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor, and the chicken dish was next-level good. But the real treat everyone seemed to be having was the truffle tots — and for good reason—crispy, a little fancy, and totally addicting.
