We were traveling with 4 couples and this restaurant was recommended by a friend of mine that lives in the area. I convinced our group we should try it and our reservation was made months in advance. Our group was assigned one waiter who also...had several other tables at the same time. It took approximately 3 hours to get our meal during which several other parties came, ate and left. Several discussions with the manager went no where, no apology, no complimentary desert or drink. When our dinners finally arrived they were well prepared and very tasty. I've worked in the industry and traveled the US and Western Europe. This restaurant is good for 2 couples but not for large groups. As mentioned in other comments, many of the staff, including the manager, seem insufficiently trained at this price point and marketed level.More

We were recommended to Antler's for a nice dinner. We stopped in early afternoon to check it out and liked the location on the Rio Grand River. Asked about reservations and requested to sit out on the deck. he said if we could get there...by 5 pm we could. That was too early for us so we made reservations for 6:15 inside, which was ok. We were also told that being the last day the restaurant was to be opened there would be a 'limited' verbal menu. Ok too. When we arrived around 5:30, we asked again about the deck but was told no. We went to the bar and it was very busy as they had a good local trio playing some good country music. I was pretty much ignored at the bar as the barmaid tended to 'local/regular' customers. Not good service out there. We went into get our table and Danny was our server. He was good and professional. The Prime rib we ordered was good but not exceptional for "Chicago" pricing. I asked a different waitress if we could get a little more bread and she told me that they were short and had other reservations coming in.... really?? Short on bread. Anyway, Danny did bring us a couple of pieces. I would normally give this restaurant 4 stars for the food and 2-3 stars for the attitude of the barmaid and waitress. Danny would receive a 5 star. Not in any hurry to go back.More

Great food and service. Get a seat with a river view. So beautiful. A variety of items in each menu. The biscuits and gravy are the best I have ever had. Dinner reservations fill up quick.

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful setting. I acknowledge that we visited on the first holiday weekend for a seasonal restaurant during labor shortages and rising food prices. I prefer not to be a complainer but we chose the restaurant for a memorable high school graduation...and for our $400, we received many excuses. It was obvious that our server did not put in our order because after almost an hour of waiting for our food, the server returned to say that the special that my husband ordered was now out. Just so many problems and the manager was not really listening except to offer free dessert. The one highlight was Tyler, the busboy who was very personable and kept our water glasses full. This is a word of caution to management: you have a nice restaurant. Don’t lose it due to poor execution of service.More

A good restaurant with riverside tables. Food was well prepared and service was attentive but not obtrusive. Some items were limited due to logistic challenges of getting product from the vendor. But they offered alternatives that were welcomed. A bit pricey if you order the...steak but I opted for the trout which was done well. Sit by the river if the weather is decent. Otherwise there is indoor seating. Make a rez as it can get busy. Even in mid sept.More

We had a delicious dinner... definitely try the trout. Rain on the tent during dinner was an extra and when the heater was turned on, it made for a special outdoor dining experience.

An outstanding restaurant in an outstanding setting. Alongside the beautiful cliffs of the Rio Grande River this culinary Gem should not be missed. If you are a foodie this is a must stop along the way. The wedge salad is covered with huge crumbles excellent...blue cheese. From there you can go to a fantastic rack of lamb or for the smaller appetite a great serving of home made crab cakes. Check out the daily specials on our visit they had a seafood platter with salmon, shrimp, scallops and wonderful sauce. The chocolate cake for dessert is not to be missed.More

We arrived without a reservation and they were gracious enough to find room for us. The service was amazing and the whole staff was very pleasant. The food was incredible! The butter that comes on the strip steak is absolutely amazing! We will be coming...here every time we are in the area!More

Lovely location. Staff very friendly but lacks training. Ordered a filet ($55). It came barely warm and only with mashed potatoes. My arugula beet goat cheese salad had very little arugula and almost no goat cheese.

The Antlers riverside restaurant is a surprise! It’s a campground and cabins kind of place with a gourmet restaurant. I have eaten there 4 times during travel and I’ve never been disappointed. Deliciously prepared and presented. Elegantly served.

Our party of three dined on the deck, with reservations, and it was a great experience. For two of us it was our first restaurant meal since the pandemic hit, and we had been a bit apprehensive. No need at Antlers. All staff were masked,...the outdoor deck afforded fresh air and spaciousness, and we felt totally comfortable. It was a rainy evening, but the deck is covered, and standing heaters provided just the right amount of warmth. All three of us had trout, which was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was spot on. Andy was attentive, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend Antlers and hope to visit again.More

Our party of six received good service on a week night. Happy to find outdoor dining with Covid precautions taken. The shrimp special was a treat, lamb was excellent, and the ribeye disappointing. All in all, the best place we found in Creede for an...enjoyable meal!More

Family owned and operated, this spot is definitely our favorite for a fine dining experience. You can eat inside or on the deck above the rushing waters of the Rio Grande. We like outside because we can enjoy the sound and sight of the river....But we've eaten inside and it can be wonderful as well. The owners live adjacent to the restaurant and are there. Also it is the site of an RV park. So their breakfasts are great as well. We have enjoyed escargot for a starter andLInguini Arrabbiata. - huge shrimp, giant mussels and clams on linguini with spicey red sauce. May be called Linguini de Mare. As their offerings vary from time to time. Have enjoyed their Trout ?? picata as well. Everything is good.More

As others have said, Antlers is a beautiful location. The menu is pretty extensive but I would stick to the meat. I was told the salmon was good, but it was horrible. It was cheap salmon that tasted previously frozen. The portion size was small;...maybe 5 1/2 ounces. Very poor quality salmon covered in sauce to make it appealing. I was surprised there wasn't a trout from Colorado on the menu. Other customers at nearby tables seemed happy with their food -- steak and lamb. The wine list was also very extensive, but the prices were expensive by any standard. In fact, the price for the Far Niente Chardonnay (an excellent wine) was more expensive than Miami and New York City prices. That's just insane. At the same time, the wines by the glass were kind of cheap and poor quality. There was no happy medium. Service was okay, but the restaurant was busy and they clearly didn't have enough waitresses. Considering this is fine dining, I expect linen napkins and not paper napkins. I wouldn't return unless the wine list was realistically priced and the seafood improved.More
