Welcome to Tempranillo Restaurant, where internationally acclaimed Chef Javier Gonzalez-Bringas, along with his partner and wife Laura, offer a daily menu of drinks, tapas, dinner and lunch. Gonzalez-Bringas, a Madrid Native, combines an old-world style with a new-world flair in his signature cuisine. The name Tempranillo, itself, pays homage to one of Spain's premier grape varieties, and true to its name the restaurant features a selection of over 100 hand-chosen wines. The atmosphere at Tempranillo is notable for its rich colors, dual fireplaces, and community gathering table-all reflecting the equally rich depth of flavors and influences which are at the heart of the restaurant's origins. "Our desire is to create a brilliantly charming place in the community where people can gather and enjoy the dance with exists between the flavors of Spain and Italy"

    This former local favorite was disappointing last night. Service was excellent, food was fair, smaller portions that are more expensive. Won't be back unless we hear its gotten better. Too bad.

    Tables were crammed together making the dining experiencing awkward and challenging. I realize New Years Eve is a very busy night to dine out…but too much was sacrificed at our expense. Service, Ability to converse, getting in and out of our chair was nearly impossible without intruding on the next table of diners, etc. we would never dine again here for a holiday meal. None of our requests on Open Table were met, which was unfortunate because it happened to also be an important anniversary celebration.

    Great service and food. Mahi mahi and the seafood paella were delicious. I enjoyed the martinis and our 2 sons enjoyed the pistacho ice cream. :-)

    I flew in from Phoenix AZ for the holidays at the very last minute. I was worried about what would be open in this beautiful mountain town having several friends meeting from steamboat and Grand Junction. NONE and none of us were disappointed with ANYTHING. From the bottle of wine too the family style entrees we shared. The ambience was amazing and so was the walk back to the townhouse. 5 stars all the way.
