VERY disappointing. Flagstaff is so unjustifiably over priced, that our evening was as bad as much as the lamb dish they served us. Had just horrible service, especially the time to get drinks. 15 minutes to get a server on the patio and another 15 to get our first drink. Decided to order the next drink when they served the current one. They try to be cool with these crappy pre-dinner apps (compliments of the chef-yeah, right). Soggy, no distinctive flavor. Advice: Just pop 'em in to get them off an already crowded table. Place was jammed and tables tight. I think it was graduation night., so there were big family tables. They have staff everywhere, mostly CU students and no real ""pros"" as main servers, and no one seemed to know what the other was doing. We must have had 10-12 different people serving us throughout the dinner--kept getting differing messages from differing front desk people about the readiness of our table. We went out on the patio- for a drink---had 3 different servers. Inside we had 4 or 6 different people. Weird--no continuity. Overcooked our lamb, significantly (they took one entree off the bill, which was $52!). The ""lambrack"" of lamb was 1 chop. Lamb shank was drowned in a sauce killing any flavor, and the loin was way overdone. Found a ""visitor"" in my $15 arugula whatever salad. Salad was actually very tasty )--but for $15 it ought to be, eh? Wine list was way out of line, too. I am confident in my wine expertise. They have a very extensive list, but too pricey. I noticed very few bottles around the tables, which is highly unusual for a supposed high-end restaurant. Usually, wine is priced aroound 2 to 2.5x what you can buy it in the store for. These wines were at least 3.5 to 4x and I noticed 5x in some cases... No bottles for us, either. We had $7 glasses of a decent Tuscan red wine (although they cost $14) :-) Oh, yeah-- nice view...
