Gagliardi's 489 Restaurant

Another great Cimino family reunion, made possible by the outstanding staff and management, come for the food but stay for the people !!!!! 10 stars !!!

The food was okay, certainly not worth the price point. The server got my order wrong and still charged me for the more expensive plate she brought, after waiting an hour for our food. Won’t return.

My wife and I had dinner here on 21 May and it was ok at best. Our waitress didn't make me feel like she really wanted to be a waitress or didn't like me but either way it was a bad vibe. the food was just ok.

Had breakfast off interstate. Everything was delicious. Service great. .

A very pleasant surprise to say the least. Everything we had was great, especially the ribeye which was perfectly cooked. We would definitely eat there again on our next trip to Trinidad.

I got to the hotel after a long day driving and needed some food. I called the restaurant downstairs and they didn't answer. It was 8:30 they close at 9pm. I ordered chicken Alfredo as take-out so I could just eat in my room. I didn't know where to go to pick it up. Then found out I was supposed to go to the bar. The chicken was decent. It tasted like day old rotisserie chicken thrown into fettuccine. The Alfredo sauce was oily but tasted great.

The one problem I have is that they served it to me in a thin plastic desert to-go container. It was so hot that it melted through the plastic and oil and sauce was dripping all over the counter. Plus I almost burnt myself. I can appreciate it being fresh and hot but the desert tray with thin plastic was a mistake. Now I wonder if I ate plastic on my pasta. Not too happy about that.

Originally I had 4 stars for food but then I ate the mac n cheese. It tastes like the yellow nacho cheese spread mixed onto some pasta. No seasoning or cheddar cheese added. Very bland. Overall the fettuccine was alright, the chicken was okay. I'm a little pissed about the melted plastic tray.

If you stay in the hotel eat here. It's the cheapest 2star michelin restaurant I've been too with some of the best quality and large portions. I was here 2 days. Biscuits and elk gravy were great for breakfast and the brased short ribs for dinner I could barely finish. 10/10 under less than 100$ for 2 people with multiple drinks is crazy

This is the most upscale restaurant in the Trinadad Raton area. If you have a special occasion or just want finer dining, this is the place. Wonderful service, great food at fair prices.

Our complaints were because the food they served was not the food described on the menu. Then the drink was not mad correctly for $13 and the dessert to be served with ice cream and homemade whipped cream only came with a few berries. When asked for the ice cream we got a block of the oldest something found in the way back of the freeze…We left it and the $11 cake. The place has gone downhill

One of the worst food experiences I’ve ever had so let’s break this down from start to finish. Starter: bread and oil - frozen bread came out undercooked and doughy with a side of some tasteless seed oil and minced garlic. Main: Gnocchi is not made in house and it’s served with a poor excuse of a red sauce because it’s definitely not a vodka sauce. Lasagna was questionable at best. Don’t try to go fancy and serve duck when you can’t properly execute the basics. Dessert: grandma is most certainly not making that peach cobbler,
if you can even call it that. We received what appeared to be canned peaches and cinnamon oatmeal mixed together with a soup like consistency. Bread pudding was a sponge with an entire stick of melted butter on top. On the plus side no one got sick from their food but it was also borderline inedible. I understand Trinidad Colorado isn’t exactly a food Mecca but I’d rather eat McDonald’s. 1.5/10 would not recommend.

This was one of the most disappointing meals I have ever had. I expected so much more. A friend was visiting from out of town and offered to take me and my husband to dinner. I suggested this restaurant because I had heard good things and had not been there before. The applewood smoked pork chop sounded inviting and two of us ordered it. Both were very tough, very fatty around the edges and undercooked. And what was that weird and lukewarm gravy on top? We were supposed to get asparagus but were served cold broccoli and hard as a rock baby carrots. We did get our asparagus afterwards and they tasted good but were undercooked. The Mac and cheese was okay but also lukewarm. Has this restaurant ever heard of heated plates? Especially in a room which is sterile and cold. On a positive note my husband enjoyed the duck but he received the same broccoli and carrots. Really? The waitress was nice and accommodating.

We ate breakfast here Thursday-Sunday during the Rad Dirt Fest. The best French Toast I've probably ever had, paired with the most lovely server ever. She was working every single day, training new employees, and still providing great service.

Apparently the chef makes what he wants no matter what is on the menu and the manager doesn't care. I ordered the Chicken Piccata, which is a spinach and mushroom stuffed chicken breast with julienne vegetables. I received a chicken breast with a lemon sauce, with capers in it, and steamed broccoli and carrots. We were not informed there wasn't asparagus or green beans available, they were just substituted with steamed vegetables without any word said. The baked mac and cheese tasted like it came from a box. I spoke to the manager and he said the chef has always made the orders that way but it doesn't reflect on the menu. I said it should have been explained when we made the order and we could have had the choice to continue the order or not. I could have paid a lot less money somewhere else for a piece of chicken and almost uncooked broccoli and carrots. He had no apology, no offer of a discount or to replace the food with anything else. He said did everything taste ok that you did receive and left the table. To be fair, most of the food did taste good, even though I didn't eat much of mine. We paid over $100 for 4 meals and 3 of them were wrong. Definitely not as fancy and high class as the website makes it seem. The don't care attitude was a turn off from eating here.

Going to this restaurant was a mistake. I was looking for a good Steak in Trinidad, and saw that this restaurant is relatively new, has some good reviews and offers steaks. As soon as I pulled up and saw that it is located in a hotel, I should have turned around. The ambiance is very sterile (typical hotel restaurant). My waitress was relatively friendly, but rather slow and forgot to order / bring my soda water. I started with an avocado salad, which was OK. The steak however was really nothing special. It was eatable but nothing more. The sides were not good at all, mashed potatoes had a convenience taste and the vegetables were dry and also had a very strange taste to them. I don’t know who wrote the good reviews for this place, but at most, it’s an emergency solution, if you check in late at night and everything else is closed. Other than that, don’t go here

I’ll just start by saying my most recent meal here was easily a 10/10. Absolute perfection. We started out with the mussels, which were amazing and have definitely become our go to appetizer at Gagliardis. Also the pesto toasted baguettes hit so hard. We then got the applewood smoked pork chop, and chicken fried venison. Both were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The venison was served with a gravy that paired excellently. The sides and vegetables were spot on as well. And dessert was wonderful. We decided on the bread pudding instead of our usual crème brûlée and we were not disappointed in any way shape or form. Our hostess and server were very polite and professional. Love this restaurant and will be coming back.
