5.0 of 5 stars. This was my last-night-in-Colorado dinner choice, and it was fantastic. Without question the best steak I've ever had in my life, that just melted like butter in your mouth. The complimentary hummus...

Blue Star Atmosphere by Sarah H. at InsiderPages

It's hard to find a more updated, in the moment atmosphere than in the Blue Star. The bar food is a little more affordable than the restaurant, but both are excellent.

Contemporary and excellent in the Springs

Best place in town for my money. One of the few places with style and high quality. It has both a formal dinning area and bar dining area. Excellent beers from their neighbor next door Bristol Brewing.
