The Blue Lion

Do you know why the Blue Lion has been serving food for forty years? I will tell you: the blue lion is exceptional! In every way it stands out. The service was sublime, and even entertaining at times. I had the scallops, Eddie had trout. The flavors and texture were superior. I cook fish and well. But this restaurant has invested in a cook who knows what he is doing. Eddie and I had a table just inside the entrance to the patio. Adorning our view were big leafy plants, green trees, clean windows. It was as though we, tired climbers that we were, had stumbled on an oasis. Our waiter told us the funniest of stories we knew too well- drunk drivers in Denver! The rest of the staff was respectfully kind and warm. My Grand Marnier was lush and plentiful. The desert was awesome. The salad was excellent and came straight from the back yard garden I’m sure. I recommend the Blue Lion for excellent cuisine, romance, a slow dinner, and atmosphere. The time flew by. Honestly we found it hard to leave. Oh lest I forget they had two outstanding gluten free meal choices and many choices for vegetables. Yum and yum!

Wow! The food and wine menu were both amazing. They had many gluten-free options. The scallops were delicious.
