I got the beet salad, amuse bouche, and the Wagyu New York steak and it was AMAZING. Chef Cody and Jess the waitress were excellent! Definitely come when you’re in CB.

While the service was great, the food overall was disappointing. We ordered a tomahawk steak cooked medium with a light pink center, especially important since one person at the table was pregnant. Unfortunately, it arrived raw and cold. When we asked for it to be cooked further, it came back very quickly with the explanation that they “tried to do a mix of medium rare to medium,” which was not what we requested. The steak still lacked flavor, and we ultimately did not eat it. They initially attempted to charge us for it, but it was removed after a lengthy discussion.
The broccolini was also not good. For the surf and turf, the seafood was excellent, but the steak was tough and difficult to cut. The New York strip, however, was very good.
We dined with a party of nine and were advised to order five sides per dish, which was far too much. I’d recommend only 1–2 sides per dish, or about five sides total for a group this size. Drinks were good, but based on the overall experience, I would not return.

Unbelievably good. A perfect birthday dinner. I had the elk and the creme brulee with cereal milk, it was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well.

This place was amazing! If you visit Crested Butte (which I highly recommend for skiing and hiking) this steakhouse was one of my faves as I’ve traveled accrued the country the last week. I had to order the steak and the elk because the truffle fries app was so good. Also huge thanks to Molly, Allie and the entire staff for being 5 star and creating a great experience. Can’t wait to go back!

Had my bachelorette dinner at Prime and had the absolute best time. The whole staff took amazing care of us, our server Joe was excellent and made perfect wine suggestions, and our food was excellent. We ordered 2 appetizers, 3 steaks, 4 sides, and 2 desserts for 6 women to share.

Best steak in crested butte. Now they have freshly flown in seafood. I’ve never had a bad steak there. I prefer any filet, ribeye, NY strip medium rare. Their wedge salad is great and I tried their short rib appetizer which was amazing. French onion soup is fantastic as well. My only complaints are that the prices are astronomical. We’re not poor but we’re not rich either. That means I can afford to go here once or twice a year in good conscious. I think the staff could be a little more professional but it’s a mountain town so I figure you get a lot of transient youth who don’t stick around long enough to care.

Patio covered in flowers like someone’s grandmother went rogue with a credit card at the garden center. It works beautifully.
Got lucky with live music – apparently they don’t normally do this. We hit the jackpot or someone forgot to tell the musician to go home.
Happy hour oysters flown in from somewhere fancy I can’t remember. Point is, they’re not local Rocky Mountain oysters if you know what I mean.
Went against the grain and ordered chicken at a place called “Elk Avenue Prime.” Sometimes you gotta be contrarian. Honey chicken that’s basically elevated KFC without the shame or the regret.
Yeah, the elk is supposedly their thing. But when happy hour oysters and beer are calling your name in the Colorado mountains, you answer.
Mountain town doing upscale right – fancy enough to feel special, chill enough to actually enjoy instead of whispering through dinner.
Sometimes the best choice is the unexpected one.

This place is ridiculously over priced. Add to it the fact that you have to buy everything that makes a complete meal separately is offensive, right down to the sauce for your food.
Steak had decent flavor but way overpriced. The lobster had zero flavor. No seasoning on it, nothing. Even the texture was off. To be charged $8 for a tiny cup of Horseradish sauce for your steak, which NORMALLY comes with it every where else? Even that didn’t taste very good. Lumpy is not creamy.
I went with friends and was hard pressed not to walk out. Biggest waste of money ever.

We had a group of twelve and everything was absolutely wonderful. Dillon did a fantastic job taking care of all of us while others assisted. The food was spectacular. We will eat here every time we are in Crested Butte.
