    The menu looked great so we booked dinner for four of us. We enjoyed the ambiance, service from Jessica and the food was perfect. Glad we have it a try. (Nice selection of wine, cocktails and beer as well)

    The food was delicious and service was excellent. We shared a tasty beet and pistachio salad with goat cheese. Our main entrees were the bison short ribs with polenta, and the special which was a 5 oz tenderloin with fingering potatoes and broccolini. The bison was fork tender and the mushroom gravy on the tenderloin was so flavorful.

    Food was excellent. I had the salmon, which was delicious, and my husband had the beef wellington, which, while slightly undercooked, was amazing. Some of the best food I have had in Breck. Noise level was a little louder than I like, but not off-putting. It was full and several good size groups. Definitely recommend.

    The waiter was slow and forgetful. We ordered an appetizer and after 15 mins we asked how much longer. He then said, “I must have forgotten the order”. He did not attempt to repair the mistake.
