So disappointed in this establishment. Our office planned our annual Christmas luncheon. We chose Pine Creek as we have done it in the past snd had great food and fun. This time a blizzard hit the Roaring Fork Valley. High winds and multiple car accidents...up and down the valley. The highway closed in numerous areas. We had to cancel as the risk was extreme. The Restaurant charged us the full amount of the reservation for 10 plus 20% gratuity. We tried to work with them, to reschedule. We wanted to rebook. Their comment was their people showed up so we should have. (The manager was very nasty.) We were coming from 50 miles away down valley in a blizzard, not a few miles out of Aspen. We will NEVER book there again. Thanks for nothing Pine Creek.More

The location and the experience to get to and from the restaurant is a 5 out of 5 but regrettably the service and the food was a 1 out of 5 based on a basic price/quality scale, given how pricey the restaurant is (we were...12 people and paid $365 per person!!!). It is a pity that having such a great site, the management is not willing or able to get the service and the food up to site and the price. When the bill came there were significant mistakes in it that increased the cost significantly. Those mistakes were corrected but nothing was done with regards to our complain about the service and the food (10 out of 12 people didn’t like their entree. We have been at the restaurant on other locations and the experience was overall satisfactory. Not this time though and I don’t get why food/service has deteriorated so muchMore

My partner and I went for dinner and it was phenomenal! The charcuterie plate is 10/10 and the faro risotto is so flavorful and unlike anything you could get anywhere else in the valley. We had a table right at the window and the view...can't be beat. Trish was our server and made the experience perfect and so much fun; she is really great and manages to take such good care of everyone even when it's crowded! As always, though, Simo is the reason we keep coming back, and without fail he makes us feel so at home and happy. Would recommend this place over any other!More

Beautiful view if you dine outdoors . Food overpriced on prix- fixe menu.$40 for a bratwurst with some overcooked potatoes. Average service . Would not return .

Yearly in the fall we drive up to Ashcroft to view the changing colors of the aspen tees, and stop for lunch at the Pine Creek Cookhouse. We sit outside under protection from umbrellas to soak up the beauty that surrounds this quaint restaurant, and...enjoy a delicious selection from the foods offered, There is abundant seating inside as well as on the wrap around patio. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. This is our favorite spot for lunch in the fall! Try it out!More

Pine Creek Cookhouse could be considered off the beaten path and out of the way, but it is worth it!

Went there for lunch today, you have no choice but to order the 45 dollar prix fix, so I basically got a very bad, tasteless hamburger with a decent salad and a mediocre dessert for 45. Last time I went the burger was great but...they have changed the supplier to a much lesser quality. My friends trout was tough and tasteless. Just BAD and expensive.More

Gorgeous location!! We made reservation few weeks ahead for a 3 course meal. Per instructions on their website we decided to park at the Ghost town and do the hike to the restaurant. It was a fantastic hike right by a creek with amazing landscape...views. It took us about 1hr 45 mins with many stops for photos. Once we reached the restaurant, we were placed on the patio and eating lunch with views of mountains and alpine flowers was a bliss. Folks are friendly and food is super delish. The only thing is PLEASE ask for allergens if you have issues. We asked about presence of dairy at the beginning of the first course & was told that the soup was dairy free. We forgot to ask for our 2nd course. For 3rd course we opted for fresh fruits. Afterwards we had massive stomach pain. I am not going to take any stars off for this restaurant since I think I should have repeatedly asked them about allergens. On the flip side, given so many allergies in the US, its surprising that restaurants do not publish ingredients /allergens on menus.More

We ate here based on a friend’s recommendation and it lived up to our expectations. Definitely make a recommendation and allow enough time to make the drive. We ate on the patio and it was a spectacular view and atmosphere. (Blue Colorado skies, bright sunshine,...a lovely breeze.) Lunch is prix fixe and, between us, we had the chicken vegetable soup, salad, hamburger, crab cake special, and the brownie dessert. It was all excellent! The service was great, paced for a relaxing lunch. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to others.More

We found this place after doing the Ashcroft Ghost Town. We had already ate so we decided we would try it out the following day. Make sure to make reservations because it is a 25 minute drive up Castle Creek Rd. and you will not...have cell reception to look for other options until you get down to the base of the mountain. Onto the food!!! During the summer months they do a 3 course meal with a variety of selections to satisfy anyone. My wife and I started with the house salad which consisted of Organic Greens, Apples, Candied Pistachios, Dried Cranberries, Cambozola Cheese, and Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette. It was a nice light salad to get you ready for the second course. After the salad we decided on the Ruby Red Trout with Corn Succotash, the house specialty. My wife got the Kurt Russell’s burger. Both dishes were well seasoned and tasted delicious. The last course was dessert that consisted of Apple Crisp and a chocolate brownie. We would highly recommend going with the brownie, it was a good compliment to finish off the meal. If you are planning to see Ashcroft you should take time to eat at Pine Creek Cookhouse for the food and the views.More

What can I say? The sleigh ride is cold but so magical in the mountains. The absolute most perfect way to travel to Christmas dinner. To note, we are at the 1.30pm seating. The guides both up and back were fantastic. The venue is outstanding....I was worried about it being too ‘fancy’ and ‘quiet’ for our five year old but we were greeted with Colorado hospitality and a buzzing environment! Instantly I relaxed. The food, albeit not a traditional meal, was delicious and more than enough. We left stuffed and had to cancel our later meal reservations as we could not eat a thing. Our waitress was pleasant and although she was kept busy, we were not waiting for anything. Sometimes, how you treat people is reflected in how they treat you. For a family of four with tip and sleigh ride, drinks and meals, it cost roughly $400 USd. An experience we felt was worthwhile and one we will never forget. We hope to return again.More

Top location, great venue. Pity about the service and food. The location/setting and decor of the restaurant has it all and is worth the extra. The food and service let this experience down. The role of a waiter is to rather to advise politely, not...criticise. I guess with a fixed service charge the driver for good service is removed.More
