We came close to missing out on this great dining experience when the online system showed no availability. Luckily, we called in and the restaurant was able to accommodate us. Restaurant was cozy and service was great! It's always nice when your server understands the menu and seems to have an appreciation for the food! As suggested by most Yelpers, we started off with the truffle tater tots..no regrets! Tots were perfectly cooked and truffle flavor was not too overwhelming. Can't go wrong with either the lamb or elk...but the sauce that comes with the elk really compliments the dish very well! The mashed potatoes were tasty as well - smoky and buttery...yumm! As a must - finish your meal with the white chocolate bread pudding with added vanilla ice cream! The restaurant is closing for 3 weeks since it's the low season. But definitely come when they reopen!

We had a great dinner there last week. The pork chop was the most delicious one I have had in a long time. And since it was dry January, we went with the ginger lemonade but with the habanero syrup which was really tasty. The lamb kofta was a great sharing plate and we look forward to coming back and trying some of the great cocktails too. Andrew did a great job taking care of us.

Wow! Love this place! Wonderful food! They smoke their own meats and fish. And everything is prepared beautifully and tasted so good and fresh and healthy! The cocktails, mocktails, and wine list are great. Ambiance is fantastic. And, the staff were all charming and very attentive! We will definitely be back!

Visiting the area for snowboarding trip and decided to try this place with friends. Warm Beet Salad. 10/10 Everything was fresh and tasty. The goat cheese was in fact warm. However, I did not taste the beets were roasted. Maybe just sautéed. Fried Nashville hot chicken sandwich. 8/10. Very juicy and indeed spicy. The slaw was fresh and tangly. Paired with traditional french fries and a one of the best tasting sliced pickle Ive had. Seriously, as simple as a pickle but something special about this pickle. This would be a 10/10 had the portion of the chicken been bigger. For the price, I believe the portion of the chicken should have been bigger. Our server Oneydi took care of us really good coming by often to check on us.

Favorite spot in Frisco, maybe even all of Summit. Place can get popping so make sure to scoop a reservation during busy season. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend a spot on the beautiful outdoor patio during nice weather or by the fireplace inside on colder days. The bar is also great for a game with plenty of TV viewing angles. We routinely stop by for happy hour with great deals on food and drink. Always new specials each day and they rotate regularly based on what's available seasonally. Highly recommend the cocktails. They're made very tastefully and never overly sweet. Wine and beer lists are solid too. Lots of awesome apps depending on time of year. The carrots are great. Well cooked and have an awesome nut and goat cheese topping with herbs. Beet salad is great. Baked ricotta is one of our favorites. As is the smoked salmon dip. The rocky mtn bolognese is a go to for us. Same with the ribs and lamb chops. Ribs are fall off the bone. Burgers are also very well done. Lastly, the desserts are all top notch. They're made in house and rotate as well. Gotta make sure you don't skip the dessert with an after dinner drink especially if you're out on the patio on a warm summer night. Enjoy!

The Tavern West is a nice place to go to if you are looking for a fancy place to eat and drink! Although the vibe in their dining room is a little more upscale, they have a comfy bar area where you and your friends can sit and grab a quick bite to eat. Additionally I have always had good service here and their food is great! It's a standard American steakhouse and while you're there they have an amazing view of the mountains out front. Steak, cocktails, and a view of the mountains? What's not to love.

Great steaks and apps. Our server was very helpful with recommendations and answering any questions we had about the menu options. We tried pork belly and octopus for apps, and mains included pork chops, ribeye, elk, and lamb. All were awesome. We had a table near the bar but it wasn't loud like a sports bar. Ambiance was nice.
