Garden and custom smoker
Our cuisine is prepared with high-quality ingredients sourced locally in Colorado. Our large on-site garden plots provide a bounty of fresh vegetables and herbs, used in many of our dishes. You can often find our chef out at the custom-built smoker carefully preparing juicy and tender top cuts of meat to elevate your menu!
