Secret Restaurant in Aspen Valley is Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse – Places To Eat In Glenwood Springs
Places To Eat In Glenwood Springs
At the point we decided to change our life style and escape the rat race of city life we started seeking out our next heaven on earth. Residing on the California coast was great, but crowded regardless of what entertainment we decided to do. We had heard about Colorado and the big areas of openness, especially on the Western Slope with villages like Aspen and Vail that are smaller communities, but also popular cultural centers.
Landing the plane in into Grand Junction we headed east on Interstate 70 to check out Aspen and Vail. It was late in the day when we drove into Glenwood Springs and decided this would be a nice place to spend the night and then decide on Aspen or Vail after that. We elected to stay at the old and quaint Hotel Colorado and after settling into our room we wanted to discover what Glenwood Springs has to do. The front desk clerk recommended some nice shops to see, but when we asked about fine dining she suggested it depends on the cuisine you wish to eat. Being in Colorado I wanted a big fat steak, but my sweetie wanted seafood like back home. I reminded her the nearest ocean was too many miles distant, so the seafood could never be asflavorful as we could get at home, but she insisted. So his recommendation was a small dining establishment right across the bridge called Juicy Lucy’s steak house where we could have the best selection for both.
Once we had finished visiting several small shops we found Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse and after a short wait at the historic bar we were seated. As I skimmed the menu I noticed the right meal for me, Colorado Elk Sirloin. Organically grilled elk sirloin sliced and served on sautéed portabella mushrooms, but I was impressed by the {fish|seafood|fresh catch| selections on the menu. I was even more impressed by their daily offerings such as; Broiled Sea Scallops stuffed with Alaskan King Crab or Fresh fish Mequite Grilled over the BBQ. I had to ask about the freshness and quality since it was obvious the nearest ocean was a long distance away. He implied they only purchase the best ingredients and the shell fish is flown in fresh six days a week. My wife choose the Sea Scallops and I have to say if you didn’t know you were in {the rocky mountains|Colorado|dry regions of the country| you would swear you were at a seafood restaurant on the coast.
Next day on the tour we decided on Basalt, and couldn’t get over the small villages from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Here we could snowshoe in the winter, explore in the summer, hike, bike and be by ourselves, or go to a play or concert almost any night. We found our paradise and knowing that no matter where we settled in the area we were only a small distance away from the greatest seafood in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Who would have thought that a fine dining establishment named Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse would help us make one of the best choices of our life.
