Wesley & Rose Lobby Bar - Buena Vista, Colorado

Roger Blank, PE

During the day while soaking in the 106F natural hot springs at the Charlotte Hot Springs in Buena Vista, we asked a local for his recommendation of his favorite dinner restaurant - he said to try the Surf Hotel restaurant. What a nice quiet friendly place. Our waitress (Faith I believe was he name) was cheerfully attentive. The food was a beautiful work of art and perfectly cooked. Our dessert was Carrot cake; bite after bite reminded me of our custom wedding carrot cake some 40 years ago... all was incredible.
We're going back!

Loved the sound of the Arkansas River. Nice pours from the bartenders. Recommend the cheese skillet (ask for more bread) and the lamb pops. Many small plates available. The bison short ribs were a favorite because of the spicy sweet potato puree balancing the tender, juicy red meat. Also recommended: onion soup and the beet salad. For drinks, try the locally distilled DeerHammer bourbon as the Chateau Standard.

We thoroughly enjoyed this place for brunch! We got the Canadian bacon eggs benedict and the biscuits sausage gravy. The food was delicious and the portions were big and filling.

We were not able to get a reservation ahead of time but we were easily accommodated for Sunday morning. The atmosphere was beautiful and super cute for a brunch date!

Def check this place out!

Great spot just off the square and adjacent to the river.
Good food, service, and drinks.
Stopped in with the little and enjoyed dinner and drinks.
The burger was a bit overcooked, but the drinks, fries, calamari, and burrata were good.
Ambiance is on point, and the staff was wonderful.

The elk rack was amazing, and I highly recommend the parm truffle fries. Excellently seasoned and cooked to perfection. Although the front door hostess had to ask about my service dog. It didn't seem a huge deal, and they were kind enough to park us in a quiet corner. The scrumptious apple berry crisp I took back to the hotel for dessert was such a big portion, I had dessert and a snack for later. This is the best food I've had out of BV to date, and I look forward to eating here again on my next visit.

I want to give this place 5 stars but the food was disappointing for take out. The atmosphere is great and they drinks are very good, but we ordered food to go and had issues with it. My wife ordered the beet salad ($16) and added chicken ($9). If we remove the chicken there is hardly a dish left. It had 2 super thin red beets, a small amount of golden beet cubes, the smallest amount of greens and a scoop of sheep cheese. I don’t think she even got the dressing. All combined there definitely isn’t even a single whole beets worth of food for a $16 dollar dish (before chicken cost). It sucks but I feel completely ripped off. I called the the restaurant to confirm we didn’t miss anything and they just said that’s how it is. See picture for dish without chicken removed. Would you pay $16 for that? To be fair the fries from my burger are really good.

Very fun first visit to this lobby bar to the Surf hotel in Buena Vista. Wednesday is half price wine bottle night. Make your own pizza was a good option.

Shortly: very inconsistent.
The palce seems ok, although the music was extremely loud. The staff was very nice.
The food... varied way too much. The "boring" breadboard was absolutely amazing, and so were brussels sprouts, which blew our minds. At the same time, things that we expected to be good had no flavor at all. Skirt steak would be better grilled at home with simply salt and pepper. The burger simply didn't have any taste, which I'm still puzzled on how it's even possible to achieve. I swapped the fries for a half Caesar, and it was also the first time in forever when a Caesar salad wasn't at least ok. Overall, it was unfortunately a disappointment.

Bonus points for clearly marking gluten free options and substitutions.
