This is one of our favorite restaurants in Castle Rock. The food is good but overpriced. Happy hour is the way to go - they have some good specials on martinis, wine and appetizers, including the pizza of the day. The food is decent but the pizza has been good every time, wood fired with a great selection of toppings. Also the 3 desserts I have tried have been delicious.\r

The service is inconsistent and based on who you get as a server the experience will be different each time. I DO NOT recommend sitting at the bar since the two bartenders I’ve had – an older man and a blonde girl – are consistently forgetful and inattentive. It is difficult to get their attention even when your drinks have been empty for a while. The staff can also be preoccupied with socializing amongst themselves.\r

The patio by the fountain is great in the summer. We really enjoyed the live music, especially their new guy, Rick Johnson, he is FANTASTIC!!! Playing 2 different guitars he receded into the ambiance but when you paid attention his command of the guitar was wonderful, with some bluesy tunes in addition to contemporary songs as well as great oldies. He was an AMAZING entertainer and we will return just to hear him again. \r
