We love to take Easterners and furriners there, up into the foothills.

The appetizer plate, enough for the table to share, has alligator,
rattlesnake, boudin sausage, peanut butter stuffed jalapeno poppers, and
Rocky Mt. oysters.

Their roast buffalo rib is delicious. I'm not crazy about most of the
game meat.

Drinks and desserts are pretty special, too, and there's a gorgeous view
of Denver lit up in the distance at dusk, from the many windows on the
east side.

Terry, did you know Sam Arnold died a few years ago? His daughter runs
the restaurant and has kept most of the traditions.
