We highly recommend the Greenbriar Inn. For taste, quality, fresh ingredients inventiveness of food (but not too inventive), for quality of wine and cocktails, for friendly and professional service and for ambience and atmosphere, the Greenbriar Inn can’t be beat. We had dinner at the Greenbriar Inn last night, seated at one of the small tables by the fireplace in the bar, especially in cool weather. One entree: delicious Colorado Filet of Beef. The other entree: Eggplant Parmigiana. Accompanied (as appropriate on Independence Day Eve) by a great American Cab Sauv, Far Niente Post and Beam. Service by Kyle S. was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Whether you’re looking for a happy hour bite at the bar or celebrating a special occasion, you won’t regret choosing the Greenbriar Inn.

The patio is quiet, and the service was top-notch. Our meal was very tasty. I had the crispy skin red snapper. The flavors mixed wonderfully. My wife enjoys the beef wellington every time we go, and this time was no exception. Even though it was a touch overdone, they were quick to respond appropriately. We will happily return again!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the staff was attentive and friendly. There was a terrific selection much of which were very good but could have been a little better. Slightly underseasoned, brisket was a little dry, etc. Even so, I highly recommend the restaurant.
