  We heard it was wonderful and it was! From the terrific salads to the main course and wine pairings, everything was perfect. We will be back.

  This place is top notch. Steve and his son will be sure to take care of you. I was driving through town on a Sunday night. Arrived after their special Sunday dinner was already complete. Steve insisted I take a seat while he went and dished me up a large plate of Cajun food. That was the special for that Sunday evening. On the next drive I will leave earlier so I can be in time for dinner.

  Decided to have a pre-Father's day dinner with my husband and we were really impressed.  The front and the back of the house were run like we were at the Broadmoor, but with much more reasonable prices!  We started with a corn salad that was very good, with baby arugula.  My husband had the polenta starter and all the flavors worked well together-goat cheese, pickled onions, tomatoes, roasted asparagus and a balsamic glaze.  Each bite was a bite of heaven.  My trout had a burst of different flavors included a relish of cauliflower, white raisins, capers, and a cauliflower puree, that worked incredibly well together.  My husband's chicken had a raspberry sauce and fingerling potatoes with an amazing sauce.  With topped it all off with the chocolate souflee with a vanilla cream that was sooooo rich.  You might want to share it with a few friends!  The wine list was interesting and varied.  The cocktails utilize local Colorado liquors and the mixologist was friendly and had some neat cocktails.  I had a local gin with some Pernod and lemon and it was very crisp.  This is worth the meager 30 minute drive from Alamosa!  You would not even think about this kind of drive in the city!  Time to drive to Del Norte for more than just special occasions!

  Wow!  My fiber friend of Sweet Grass Farm, formerly Cuesta Farms, sadly moving from Del Norte back to McIntosh, NM treated me to brunch at The Dining Room at the Windsor.  I drooled over the menus...anything I wanted ...breakfast, lunch or dinner.  I sadly bypassed the apple fritters on the breakfast menu and settled on the chicken in port wine with berries.  I ate everything!  Wished that I could have a quart or two of the sauce in my fridge/freezer for snacks: that good!  
  
  My friend loved the steak and eggs and she generously shared her huge side order of hash browns.  Out of this world.   I could eat an entire order by myself, but then I would lose my waste line.
  
  Hallie who partners in the restaurant with her chef husband, is a delight. She is passionate about food and made me feel at home.  
  
  This is a destination restaurant; a dining room in the European tradition with tablecloths and cloth napkins, and architectural details to match. By mid April you will be able to spend the night in a beautifully renovated rooms, not have to drive on a full tummy and maybe have room for breakfast !

  The best restaurant meal I've had in Colorado. And I've lived here since 1989.
  
  We drove in to Del Norte at nearly 9:00 PM on a Wednesday. expecting to grab a sandwich at the Subway. But the Windsor was still serving - meaning Hallie and Urs stayed open to let us have dinner with them.
  
  Hallie showed us around while Urs cooked us dinner. I am excited to see the hotel open, but, for now, the restaurant alone is worth the journey.
  
  We would have been happy with a simple warm meal, but the food was amazing. I had Urs' signature dish, the perch; she had the pulled pork. Both were remarkable. The perch was flavorful and tender, served with vegetables and a tomato sauce that were excellent as well. The pulled pork was stunning. Combined with wonderful bread and a glass of a local microbrew... More than we could have hoped for.
  
  Hallie and Urs are a remarkable couple. Their warmth and hospitality were unbeatable, and they serve up a stunning plate of food in an atmosphere that is casually elegant, steeped in the history of the remarkable hotel that they will soon open.
  
  This wasn't just a meal, it was an experience. And one we will not soon forget.
  
  We will be back.
