It's a special occasion restaurant, as far as we're concerned, but special occasions abound -- so you'll want to make a reservation, and plan on spending two or three hours for your meal.

The waitstaff is very well trained and knowledgeable. They explain what they're serving as they go, everything is incredibly prim and proper, and you won't be welcome (or even comfortable) wearing sneakers or t-shirts. Even so, the restaurant doesn't feel stuffy -- it feels friendly and homey. It's in Colorado, after all. And you can't beat the view! If you like wine, they've got 12,000 bottles in their cellar.

We were there with my boyfriend's parents, and we had a table for four in the middle of the room. The menu is subject to change, and they do special meals for holidays like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. I had the lobster soup for my first course and the filet mignon to fill up.

First courses range in price from about $15 to almost $300 (caviar!). Mains run between $30 and $70.

If you have any tummy space left over, dive into the dessert menu (or have coffee or tea). I had the chocolate bag -- which is a little box made of chocolate (there really shouldn't be any other kind) and filled with white chocolate mousse, almond cake, and berries. The chocolate was really the best part, with the mousse a close second. The cake was okay, but when you're already full enough that you probably shouldn't be eating any more, you might skip it. I couldn't even finish the whole chocolate box. When we come upon the next special day worthy of a Flagstaff dinner, I plan to order ice cream. They have amazing-sounding flavors like salted caramel, white chocolate mint, and -- get this -- white pepper and goat cheese (the curiosity is eating me). They also have organic filled chocolates, which you can take home in a gift box.

The food is spectacular, but it's really about the atmosphere and experience that makes it worthy of life's happiest events. I look forward to going here again. Close
