    We like this place and have been coming here for quite some time. But today I noticed an upcharge of $2.00 on my bill for my breakfast entree (Breakfast Denver Omelet meal) for having an English Muffin! What???? It has long been standard in the business to have your choice of toast or English Muffin as part of your meal. I'm getting at the end of my rope however with business finding new ways all the time to nickel and dime us to death and take more money out of my pocket and thinking we won't notice! Welllll, I noticed........STOP IT!!!!

    We were there for Thanksgiving. The menu was a perfectly delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal. The ambience was casual with a stunning view of the mountains. We enjoyed sitting outside with the heaters on to keep the temperature just right.

    The service was very very slow and our waiter didn't check in very often. And the food for all of us was cold by the time it got to our table like it had been sitting. Sorry Escena, but that is what happened.
