"Where else can you dine in a combination restaurant/saloon/history museum under the gaze of a forest full of big game --- while nibbling on the creatures' late relatives?" Full review
Fodor's "The dry-aged, prime-grade Colorado steaks are huge, juicy, and magnificent, as is the game. Try the smoked buffalo sausage or navy-bean soup to start." Full review

Don't miss the massive attack salad (made with tempura broccoli, asparagus, avocado, spinach, and a preserved lemon vinaigrette), red-chile braised pork, and the fried sweet plantains.
