Thank you Jason and your extraordinary staff for yet another memorable evening celebrating special birthdays. Justin, our server, saw to our every need, from wine and food recommendations to attentive service throughout our 3 hour experience. From the wonderful slightly spicy CP Manhattans, cosmo, and lemon drop cocktails we ventured on to an extremely good pan seared fois gras appetizer. Then came our mains—the very ample sea bass, the flavorful tenderloin and ribeye, and one of CP’s menu mainstays, the scallops that hearkens one back to Chef /Owner Jason’s early days on the outer banks of North Carolina—all accompanied by unique sides and finishes. One piece of a light delicious cheesecake was shared by all 4 of us as a perfect ending. We’ve been coming to CP for years, and it never disappoints.

Best fine dining in northern Colorado. I would suggest the fois gras and the bison tartare or lobster bisque as appetizers. I have not tried the main courses because the wife and I always get a flight of appetizers. Bar seating is fun . Karen makes a great cocktail and is very attentive, extensive wine list, and they do have a sommelier.

I'm very disappointed that I'm leaving such a low review today. I had been here a couple years ago and it was so amazing! Everything was perfect, so I wanted to bring a friend here to celebrate his birthday. Which they were very accommodating to, but one of the members of our party was vegan and we called two days ahead asking if we could accommodate that. I was very disappointed because the restaurant didn't plan anything or work anything out. We had to ask again while there and our server kept forgetting to talk to the chef about it. They gave no options on what he could eat, they pretty much selected his food for him. The mushroom pesto they made him was very bland, the mushrooms were soggy and cold. Our waitress, Jennifer was very rude to him she kept looking back to scoff at him and roll her eyes. He also touched some gum under the table and that's something you'd expect at McDonald's not somewhere like this. We also waited 40 minutes before we got any drinks. I'm really embarrassed I took my friends here. It was an enjoyable experience because we were in good company not at all cause the service or food itself.

I would have given the food 4 stars (instead of 3) but the entrees were overly salty; to the point that it was challenging to finish the dish. Otherwise, this is the perfect place for a date night. Service is outstanding, and it has a nice, quiet ambiance. We will return.

All the food was excellent although the filet lacked flavor. My husband (from Mass) thought the scallops were the best he ever had in Colorado. The lobster bisque was also very flavorful. A bit noisy for a romantic dinner, but I hope to try the patio the next time in warmer weather.
