Seems to be the only fine dining in town, yet they uphold the standard well. The food was quite excellent. Very fresh oysters, excellent meats, and their signature souffle shouldn't be missed. Very accommodating for kids. All of that said, it doesn't look quite like the online photos inside, at least not in the room we were in. It's rustic and cozy but more representative of the fact that it's a golf club restaurant not a ski lodge. Be sure to remind them to credit your 50 reservation deposit back if applicable. Plenty of parking. We will definitely be back anytime we're in Keystone. Also there's a large bar area too. And nice views of the flat course, I assume (everything was covered in feet of snow on our visit in late March.)

This place was perfect for an amazing birthday/date night dinner. The ambiance is very nice. Staff is pleasant and prompt. The drive there was cool and like you were on a hidden trail! Appetizer: focaccia and meatballs The focaccia was good! I thought a bit dry and salty (?) but good! We added the burrata which may have been the salt culprit. Hard to tell. But the burrata was good as well! They should serve it with more of those tomatoes. The fig jam was great! We give the meatballs 8/10. Good flavor and the polenta was nice. Dinner: tenderloin and bison ribeye The tenderloin was the best steak dinner I have ever had at a restaurant, hands down! My boyfriend agreed and he does not say this lightly. He grills all the time. Seriously, it was the absolute best steak and made this review a 5 star automatically. I asked for it medium rare. The sauce was one of the best sauces I have ever had. I’m sorry, I just loved this meal! The bison ribeye was also really good. He gave it a 9/10. Lots of pepper. The espresso rub was really subtle. The meat was cooked well. They did great with the steaks! Dessert: cappuccinos and apple crisp Cappuccinos were good! Apple crisp needed a bit more crisp in our opinions (we are big apple crisp people) but the flavor was good! Overall, wonderful place for an upscale dinner in Keystone! We loved it!

We were here for wine in the pines. Awesome venue. Couldn't ask for better food or wait staff. Outstanding. Highly recommend next year for anybody to go to wine in the pines. It's a great charity event for ability connections Colorado. It helps hundreds of kids. Thanks to keystone ranch for their hospitality.

From a photographer's perspective, we couldn't think of a more beautiful place to have a wedding! We recently photographed a ski elopement at Keystone, followed by an intimate reception with the couple's closest friends and family at the Keystone Ranch, and it was such a wonderful celebration! The staff was kind and accommodating, the food was fabulous, and the atmosphere was dreamy for a winter wedding! 5 stars all around; we hope to return soon!

The food was good. Certainly very pricey, will not return due to price, just over what we thought was worth it. The night we went, it clearly has guests that seem like old money, and older people. We felt out of place being in our late 30s. Nice for a one time visit but due to price and quality, we can make our dollar go much further somewhere else with similar food quality. Where we sat also did not match the romantic picture with the lights that the Google review shows, so something to keep in mind.

Excellent, wonderful, and expensive. A great 5-star restaurant in Summit County. Great selections on the menu. We've only dined here once and were not dissapointed. We plan to dine here again this summer during the off season when it is less crowed and easier to obtain a reservation.

100 percent phenomenal service!!!! From when you park to desert one of the best services and meals I have ever had. This restaurant is top notch and know what they are doing when it comes customer service and food!! Want to say Scott our server was top notch and definitely needs to be recognized for his phenomenal service that we received while we were there. This guy knows the menu like a professional and he definitely gives great recommendations for the food they offer. I shared the tomahawk buffalo with my buddy and had it cooked at medium rare. Let me tell you that the buffalo was cooked to perfection and the fat just melts in your mouth. We also had the bone marrow and the pork belly. Both great choices if you like something different. This place is a must if you are ever in keystone. This is definitely the best restaurant that I have experience in keystone. Great job guys keep up the good work at all your doing. You are doing a great job.

We had the best dinner and service we have ever had in our lives. Scott was so attentive and provided 5 star service. The entire experience way exceeded our expectations. We have been homeowners in Keystone for 13 years and wished we would have done this earlier. We will be back soon.
