The entire experience was phenomenal! We had a reservation in one of the igloos and it was top notch. The food was spectacular!! The flavor was truly an experience. To mention, Tommy was our serviced and he was such a good dude. Great conversation and incredibly respectful. I hope you get blessed with the same treatment if you dine here. Ask for Tommy!!!

The Gamekeeper was more than I expected. My blunder with our reservation turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were able to rent one of their igloos. Amazing experience. The service was first rate and the food was even better. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great service!!!

The Gamekeeper has become one of our favorites! With all of its memorabilia and twinkling lights, the atmosphere is charming and inviting. Our table was located in the main dining room with a lovely view of the wood-burning fireplace and the mountains. The drinks were delicious, the butternut squash bisque was to die for, the trout was the best I've had and the fact that no bread pudding was left is a true testament to its tastiness! Our waitress, Summer, was on point and our food was prepared to perfection! Can't wait to come back!

There are few restaurants that have both the dinning experience and the atmosphere of the Gamekeeper. The food is absolutely marvelous - some of the dishes - like the Emu Filet - are world class and melt in your mouth like butter. The restaurant is tucked away in a lovely alcove in the mountains and the interior is charming and a sort of chic rustic. There's also a dessert that's worth the trip all by itself - absolutely do not skip the Bourbon Vanilla Bread Pudding.
Reservations book up quickly - but the food is absolutely joyful, the staff are lovely, and the ambiance lovely. If you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and try it!

The entire experience was out of this world. Right from pulling up the valet waves and makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is rustic, romantic and calming pairing your mountain experience perfectly.
Each plates flavors took you through a flavorful journey. I had the Denver Elk Leg and enjoyed every bite even down to the vegetables and Mac and cheese. The mushrooms were to die for. It was an experience I want to relive over and over again. I appreciate the menu was elevated and considered fine dining without being overdone.
We will absolutely be back again. We even discussed having our wedding reception/dinner here if possible!

Thank you Micheal for getting us in without reservations & Jonathan for treating us like royalty.
Our server, Virginia just might be the best in the business of hospitality. I have met so many servers in my lifetime of dining. She is exceptional! She insured we had the most positive and delicious experience.
The chef sent out tiny bites of salmon and we ordered the emu tartare, the mixed game grill, Mac and bleu cheese and bleu salad, and everything was tasty and presented beautifully!
We could not leave without trying the dessert!
It was delectable!
The game keeper restaurant is the kind of place that you must experience. You feel like you are dining on top of the world. The inside decor is something that evokes feelings like you are in a special place and time. I love to write and this place inspired!
So glad we experienced Gamekeeper restaurant. It’s one for the books!
Check out my pics and videos.
Bon Appetit!

I can't wait to go back again. I have traveled to many countries and gone to many upper scale restaurants, and this is in my top 3 as of now. I went in, and by the time I had finished my first bite, I was ready to make another reservation. No one was super overdressed, and everyone was so relaxed. It was refreshing. The service was impeccable. They do an excellent job at training the staff. Now, the food was just mouth-watering, an otherworldly experience.

Cozy mountain ambiance with friendly service, complimentary valet parking, and a variety of dishes not commonly found. A great way to start if these dishes are new to you is to get the meat sampler. We enjoyed the tenderness of the bison, mildness of the elk, and distinguishably gamey flavor of the emu. The cajun seasoning on the double-fried fries was a perfect contrast to the meat. The bread pudding has notes somewhat like a pecan pie flavoring, and the mousse and sorbet are lighter finishes. Highly recommend this dinner experience.

A great experience overall. I love the inside decor and the outside seating looked really relaxing too. Wild mushroom soup was great. Enjoyed Trout for dinner and bread pudding for dessert. Didn't have enough room in my belly to try all that I wanted.

I can't even tell you which part is more phenomenal - the staff, the food and drinks, the location, the ambiance - are all a solid 5 star. If I could give them over 5 stars, I would. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and this place pulls out all the stops when it comes to hospitality, food and drinks. By far one of the best meals we've had in the US. Mostly wild or exotic game, but executed eloquently enough for complex and novice palates alike. My husband could not get over (and still has not gotten over) how good the drinks were and how knowledgeable the bartender was. Though one would think the atmosphere would exude Michelin star finery, it's actually more funky dive bar meets old traditional hunting lodge - tastefully eclectic. Can't miss if you are in the area!
