Sample Menusbuilt for one table

No Such Thing As Off-Menu

A Note On These Menus

These are examples. Yours is different.

Every menu here was built for one specific evening — these guests, this season, this occasion. We don’t reuse them. When you book, Chef Steve starts from a blank page and designs around you. Consider these proof of what’s possible, never a list to order from.

Let’s design your menu

Tell us about your evening and we’ll begin. Custom menus, all-inclusive pricing, no travel fees across Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.
