I'll keep Buckhorn in mind when she asks where I want lunch.<br /><br />Our dinner was $118, no drinks other than ice tea for me, and no dessert. I thought it was a bargain, as the other places we tried were ~$90 and NOT worth it.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-53413605343639078652019-02-04T19:33:51.312-08:002019-02-04T19:33:51.312-08:00I've heard it's amazing.I've heard it's amazing.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-69986906700597526722019-02-04T19:33:29.594-08:002019-02-04T19:33:29.594-08:00Yep.

One had a rub that was about 15% too much, the other said they could make my filet without the bacon wrap, but it came with it any way. I would have sent it back, but their service stunk, and I was famished.<br /><br />I would have expected that just about any place in Colorado could do a good steak, but guess not.<br /><br />Austins American Grill, right across the street, is also on our "Great Local Restaurant" list.<br /><br />We're still looking for a good Mexican place. The place we fall back on is a pretty good place, but not quite as good as a couple of places we went to in Long Beach.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-66469628883249451212019-02-04T15:50:29.242-08:002019-02-04T15:50:29.242-08:00The steak sounds good, the movie -- I'll take ...The steak sounds good, the movie -- I'll take your advice and pass. For me, decent food means that I descend from the mountain to Scottsdale where the options are there, and it's beyond hamburger. Mountain communities are nice, but the good places to eat have difficulty staying open during the winter. It's not a ski resort and locals either can't afford nicer fare or they just stay in when it's cold.<br /><br />Today a guy came by from a company I've never heard of. He made his way to the mine after somebody I know up here referred him. They sell frozen meals. I didn't expect a visitor but I may buy some of their flash frozen vegetables. It was weird to have a drop-in. And no, I didn't meet him at the door with a gun, though he may be accustomed to that with new customers, given where it is that I live.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
