The Colorado Grill

After waiting 15 minutes in front of the entrance to be seated, they bring tap water which was awful. Then 30 minutes no one came to take our order. Also i asked the lady for the internet password and she said that she will ask and after she passed several times by saying nothing. They don't have a vegetarian option. I would not give my money again here. Bad experience, not recommended.

Service was great, the food was great but had smaller portions. Nice. Clean. Quiet. The waitress was accommodating to my dad's hearing loss. Had the Empyrean peanut butter porter, it was fine but not very peanut buttery. Would be cool if they had the peanut butter porter from River Hops from Fort Dodge. That's a tasty beverage. [That's not really a critique, more of a suggestion if the owner reads this] They do onion rings right, thin and crispy, not store bought.

We read the reviews ahead of time and expected service to be slow, but they completely forgot about us. If we hadn’t spoken up we would have never been helped as the server for our table wasn’t aware we were her table despite being in her area. Seems there’s a huge communication disconnect. But once we got help everything went smoothly and our server was very nice. Food was good, though the Alfredo pasta was a bit lacking (I would get something else, other stuff on the menu seems better). Overall, cool place with good food.

Ordinarily I make several visits to an establishment before reviewing, it's only fair; good days, bad days and all that. However, the entrees at The Colorado Grill were so uniformly above-average that waiting to return seemed a foregone conclusion. Between the four of us, not a single clunker – that's a good start. The real stand out was the Hot Roast Beef, (not mine of course). Heaping serving of meat on real skins-in mashed potatoes, that gets my vote next trip for sure. The Crispy Chicken Salad filled an entire over-sized server and seemed close to chicken with salad rather than the usual opposite. One of my long-time favorites anywhere, the Monte Carlo, was scrumptious hot and didn't even need the gilded-lily fluff accompaniment. (Half at home, cold, not-so-good.) I wish I had taken pictures. Bear in mind, we hit the door this time in the mid-afternoon so YMMV for dinner, service issues, crowding, etc. With the large lot, I don't imagine parking will be much of a problem. While I did appreciate the tile floor that let me slide up to the table rather than bunny-hop my chair, one of our party slid a little more than was comfortable for her. The next road trip in the area will probably include “Hey, what about that Boone spot?” All-in-all, a memorable experience.

Stood in line for a while before getting seated. When the girl finally came up to the desk, she just looked at us. No hello, how many, nothing! Told us it would be another 10 minutes before anything would be ready, yet there were booths and tables empty. We had to point out a table in the bar area that was open. Said she'd check, and walks away, comes back about 3 or 4 minutes later, then seats us there. Waitress was great! Friendly, bubbly and helpful. Food was really good. Chicken breast was on the small side, but delicious.
