Grouse Mountain Grill

Grouse Mountain Grill is a long-time Beaver Creek favorite, and a thorough dining room remodel last spring has only added to the allure. It now evokes a contemporary restaurant in Tuscany, with stacked stone walls and forged iron light fixtures. At night, the place absolutely glows with warmth. Chef David Gutowski strikes a fine balance between mountain-rustic and more contemporary dishes; coffee-braised beef short rib lettuce wraps, for example, make a fine starter. Signature entrées include pretzel-crusted pork chops with Swiss chard from their own garden, and Iowa rabbit with carrot risotto. Excellent wine list, too.
