About the restaurant

Named Center Stage for it's strategic location overlooking blue waters and perfectly framing Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, Hole 16 sits just outside of our relaxed dining and bar area - also named Center Stage. Showcasing exhibition kitchens to encourage culinary interaction, Center Stage offers a more causal yet refined experience serving comfort food, homemade brick-oven pizzas and Colorado craft beers to enjoy around the 40-person bar.

Outstanding menu and food is top-drawer, very well prepared and delicious. Service is highly professional and responsive. This is by far the best dining experience in our vicinity, and one of the very best in NOCO.

The food was great, the service was outstanding and the location is wonderful for me:) The only thing that I don't "love" about Apertivo is the fact that the food exhaust is sometimes smelt in the restaurant.
