Le Petit Chablis

I do a lot of traveling. This is one of the top 3 restaurants I have dined at. The food was always exceptional, as was the staff. Their filet was one of the best money could buy, anywhere. They have closed this week after over 30 years in the business. This restaurant will be impossible to replace and will be sorely missed. The owners retirement is a shame, but the memories live on.

We were excited to finally try this place for dinner, especially after reading the stellar reviews. Our experience was just okay, nothing special, which is what we were hoping for. First of all, it. Is. Slow. But we didn’t mind since we were celebrating a special occasion and it gave us a lot of time to visit amongst ourselves. We ordered a bottle of wine from their wine list (nothing special) and began the wait. The pate appetizer was really good, then came the salad’s. They were mediocre. The special (crab stuffed sole) was really good. And while the duck is supposed to be amazing we thought it wasn’t very good. The breast was over cooked and dry, and the rest of it was tough (I took it home and braised it and turned it into enchilada’s). Desserts were okay too, nothing special. It was expensive, and for the price we felt things should have been better. Better wine list, more attentive service and better food.

Great local place, the service is nice, the food is made to order, even the mustard is made to order (I think so) which I really enjoy. The duck entrée is pretty good as well. A must visit in Canon City, be sure to check it out after you take the Royal Gorge Route train ride.

We had a lovely dinner. Charming in a small house run by a couple for over 35 years. The chef is the husband and his wife runs the front of the house. They were short-staffed but you could barely tell from the service and food. we really enjoyed the escargot, the lamb, and the tornedos. Surprising wine list. Don't sleep on this restaurant. I have a feeling this couple will retire in the near future and that will be a loss.

Wow! This restaurant is wonderful! Daniel and Michelle are attentive and gracious. The food was prepared perfectly, with delicate sauces that enhance the flavors of the meats, seafood and vegetables. The bread pudding was a delicious end to the meal.
