We have eaten here many times. The albondigas soup was great as usual. So was the bread and the beet salad. Two people ordered the seafood paella and were disappointed. They have had it many times in the past, the rice was different, less seafood. I had a pasta that was ok, another person had the mushroom pasta and it was good. Our wine was a good value. Beautiful, pleasant venue and the service was great. Please go back to the old paella style.
It was a stretch to give this place three stars. The bruschetta was so garlicky that it was overwhelming. I really enjoy garlic, but there were so much raw garlic on this that I was just overpowering. After that my seafood paella was very bland almost to the point of being without flavor. My wife had the rigatoni and meat sauce, which was slightly better, but nothing to write home about. Overall, I don't think the food here is very good.
Our favorite restaurant in all of Colorado, the day to day menu is fantastic and the specials are always a delightful surprise. The atmosphere is fun, elegant yet casual in a true Colorado mountain town fashion.
