River and Woods

Super tasty restaurant. It's this awesome glamping x upscale dining mashup. Good vibe and great service.My husband took us here for a surprise date. We started with some drinks and the duck wings and and crispy artichoke. Both were good, but the duck wings were the preferred.We then doubled down and got duck and short rib for dinner. Beautiful plating and delicious dishes.We ordered their SA Syrah, which they were unfortunately out of, so settled for their last bottle of a vintage of Barolo. Delic!We got dessert and dessert wines but I'm totally forgetting what we got.Anyway, super great place.

I had high hopes for this place after reading positive reviews and receiving a gift card for the holidays, but unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. We ordered the special item which was butternut squash poutine, then a happy hour burger, and bison sausage entrée, and every dish was a letdown. The butternut squash was raw and bland, and the truffle was overpowering. The brussel sprouts were poorly cooked, with some burnt and others slimy. The burger was fine but nothing special, and the bison sausage was far too sweet, and the plating was unappetizing.Despite friendly staff and a nice ambiance, the food was disappointing, and the prices didn't reflect the quality. I truly believe the dishes should've been half the price based on what we got. I reached out to the dining manager before posting this. We received a response, however no follow up, thus still feeling frustrated. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant based on this visit and do not plan to go back.

Dinner this time. Excellent wine selection (Nebbiolo and Barolo that are top notch). Mac and cheese is fantastic as are the burger and forage plates.Service is always stellar with Rob-- an amazing human.

Okay I LOVE this place!!! It is the cutest little cottage inside and well designed outside. The food is AMAZZINGGG!! The breakfast burger and me shook on how delicious the meat was. The burrito is thick and incredible. Our waitress was also amazing. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergies and she came back multiple times to ask questions to ensure she didn't get sick. I HIGHLY recommend

This place is a must! I definitely feel like this is one of the top favorite places I visited in Colorado! It feels like you're walking into someone's home and enjoy a nice brunch at the backyard! They're biscuits are probably my favorite even though a lot of Colorado makes amazing baskets! Definitely sit outdoors as it is shaded and you can enjoy a spacious ambience! The bottom salad is super fresh and tasty! Also, they grow their own herbs in the back garden, so you can see that things are actually made. You also walk through the kitchen, which is really cool! The service was a little slow, but I think the Chef's were running behind, which is fine, because we just enjoyed the outdoors!

We were able to get a large table during a college football game night/busy weekend. Surprisingly, they were able to accommodate a large party of ten with short notice. The outdoor patio gave you the feeling that you were in someone's backyard and not a patio. Very cozy, lush, and nice privacy from the other tables. They had a nice list of signature cocktails, beers and wines to choose from. They had 5 Colorado beers on tap and few other beers in cans to choose from. The menu indicates that they specialize in locally sourced, Colorado comfort food. I ordered the Callicrate Ranch Short Rib Tagliatelle. I learned that the Callicrate Ranch is in Colorado Springs and specializes in cattle ranching. The short ribs were one of the most expensive items on the menu so I had high expectations for it. With 10 people at the table, I wished I had ordered one of the other meals. Shepherds pie and fried chicken were hits at the table and looked mouth watering. The most expensive does not always mean the best. The other person who ordered in our party was very impressed. Too rich for my taste buds.

3x of us ordered the Gnocchi Verde - I don't know - and looked at each other and said nope at the conclusion of the main course. The gnocchi are large balls of dense chewy, bland... stuff. The short rib option tacks on $13 to make it a $40 plate. We all puzzled as to how you could slow braise short ribs and have them end up totally dry. The reggiano cream sauce was pasty. We all agreed the plate wasn't successful in any aspect and asked the server if it just came on the menu "no, it's always on". We looked at each other- confused. Serving staff is great. Space is nice. Nothing on the table thru the meal was a needle mover for the group though. I can't come up with a reason to give it another chance - too many good options nearby.

Upscale comfort food and great cocktails. Just for the menu it gets 5 stars.The restaurant proper is tiny, but the extension they've built in the back yard works pretty well. It's not gorgeous, but good company and good food/drink make up for a lot of that.Service was friendly but not always the fastest (but the servers deserve extra credit because you can't get from the front of the restaurant to the back area without passing through the middle of the split kitchen where all the servers are waiting by the passes).While they have ways of dealing with accessibility issues, they do definitely exist.There's available parking off Pearl Street (this is well before the mall), though it's a little catch as catch can.

It was a quiet Wednesday night in this restaurant. I was on a lil' hiking vacation getting away from Dallas. My reservation was 7:45pm, arrived 20mins early and they seated Me immediately in the rear tented section. Reviews were positive for the Colorado River Trout, as they should be! It was delicious, I ordered a cocktail to accompany my fish, a Forest Fizz (not 100% on the name) and it was delicious! Followed with amazing Churros. The venue, though outside was toasty warm and the service was on point. My only negative, and this is purely personal, I ordered a side of fries and when they arrived they were crinkle cut, which I do not enjoy! Why...‍ I will be returning in a few weeks and will definitely return.

Loved this place. Went for a quick drink with my boyfriend. On our list to re-visit and try their dinner.
