The food was just amazing in both the taste and presentation, especially for the $18 Texas Two Step, a relatively cheap item on the menu and with multiple choices, all of which I'm sure are excellent. At a perfectly well appointed downtown location.

Really great place. The food we got was very good and the service was friendly and attentive. I personally loved the decorations with the horn lamps, antler chandeliers, fireplace and dim lightling.

Went to Roaring Fork for a celebratory dinner and it was spot on. The food and drink were delicious! The space can be loud if there are large parties nearby but that is hard to be helped. The waitstaff and kitchen were swamped but they...Read More

The green chili pork appetizer is TO DIE FOR. I could have stopped there or maybe ordered another 😏. Seriously you must try it. We also had the duck and pork loin which were great but hard to top after the appetizer!!
