Grounded in its home setting, the original 1890s saloon, and dining hall, The Kitchen is a precursor to the classic steakhouse. It brings a farm-to-fire approach that honors time, place, and purpose, including the farms and ranches of the Western Slope. Built around a generous wood hearth that came to be renowned in the West, the restaurant uses nature as a guide and creates space for guests to slow down, connect, and make memories.

Remarkable tableside preparations, vintage cocktails, and friendly small-town hospitality allow guests to focus on going home with an authentic charming story, safely removed from the ordinary.

Overall (but with one exception from what we ordered) the food was good; however the portions are very small, and some of the main dishes had no accompaniments at all. The fried chicken was a huge disappointment. It resembled chicken nuggets more than fried chicken and was bland. The pork chop special came with literally one spear of broccolini and maybe four or five small wedges of sweet potato. The dessert and cocktails were all excellent, as was our server. But we won’t be going back, as this was overall a disappointing experience, especially for the cost.

Amazing restaurant! Our family had an amazing experience in the Western. Excellent service from a ‘Georgia Belle’ and also from the hostess. Food was incredible especially the steaks and lamb bolognese. The restaurant is beautiful. Must visit while in the area!

The Thanksgivng dinner we ate tonight was prepared from scratch and was truly delicious. I usually don’t like buffets as the food is often cold and mass prepared. But this food was fresh, served hot and was just like a buffet at a friends’ home, although I estimate they served several hundred people.
