Outstanding atmosphere, service, and food! We dined on the seafood special: Arctic Char. It was excellent; fresh, perfectly cooked, and served with a wild mushroom tortellini - yum! We shared a dessert by the cozy fireplace, and even ran into some friends from Denver! We will be back to try the Elk and Colorado Lamb! This was our first time to "The Ranch"; we usually head up the gondola to Alpenglow Stube when we want to splurge. We also took advantage of the free shuttle that The Ranch sent to our Keystone Condo - nice touch!

I have traveled around the world reviewing and tasting some of the finest dishes at a variety of restaurants. I was so looking forward to trying the Keystone Ranch in Keystone, Colorado as I read so much about it. The restaurant did not disappoint. Firstly, the ambiance was perfect for an intimate dinner. Rustic yet formal, the restaurant provided a unique charm to the overall dining experience. Service was top notch. The server was extremely knowledgeable about the dishes and her personality made the evening that much more pleasant. Their tasting menu provided extremely creative yet approachable dishes. The bone marrow dish was perhaps one of the best I have ever tried. The ferro salad was memorable and tasty. The Australian fish was succulent and uniquely seasoned. The dish was very well presented. The final course, a cheese course, was well appointed. Ports and sherry finalized the evening by the fireplace (a tradition of the restaurant). It was truly a relaxing way to end the evening. The views around the area are incredible and thus I would recommend trying to get to your reservation before sunset. The only thing I would like them to improve on is the wines by the glass. The list lacked depth and true insight. While they have a nice pinot noir from Russian River, CA, overall I was not impressed. Enjoy Keystone!!

My husband took me here for our 5th Anniversary. We've been to some amazing restaurants in this price point, and although everything was more or less good, the meal just didn't blow our socks off. The Short Rib Ravioli was delicious. The Pork Osso Bucco was just ok. Service was good, not spectacular. We drove at night in a blizzard to get to this place, and missed the turn. We ended up down a scary service road. So one suggestion would be to make the signage more visible. Honestly in a blizzard at night everything looked the same. Also we didn't realize that Valet was even an option. Again no signs, so it wasn't clear.

Snofest participants should AVOID this restaurant. They will not honor promotional discounts for DOD employees--and when asked in advance, will only tell you "no" only upon bringing your checks. Perhaps "diverse" families do not "deserve" the Rocky Mountain Blue/Snofest discount in their eyes. Great food---deplorable service in an unwelcoming atmosphere. Arrive happy, leave INSULTED.

My review isn't on a full meal, but on a special event tasting I had during one of Keystone's festivals. The tasting was just a tidbit of the delicious food prepared at this converted ranch...the flavors are simple and clean, to show off the fresh ingredients. Started with a selection of local cheese and fruit, then some meat heavy tastes of rabbit terrine, elk and lamb. While eating each taste, the chef educated everyone on sourcing from farms, how he talks to farmers to determine what ingredients are the freshest and best quality for his menus...some great insight into running a restaurant. The restaurant has a cozy rustic log cabin feel...I just wanted to snuggle up to the fireplace with a glass of red wine. The drive up to Keystone Ranch was a little unexpectedly exhilarating...curvy, icy, steep narrow roads, so I was glad I had a 4WD SUV rental. Go slow!

I'm only giving this restaurant two stars because of the service and the desserts. The waiters were extremely pushy with wanting to get a dessert order in when we ordered the main course. The sommelier runs a wine listing that contains a large selection but neglected to tell us that they were out of lots of wine whoops! Once they brought the wine out dont expect to be served. This is a do it yourself restaurant. We had to get up and get the bottles and pour for ourselves. When leaving we had to retrieve out own coats from the coat check (whoops again!) Now to the food- The squab appetizer was delicious although the fig newtons were a bit out of place. The foie gras Reuben was also well received although I admit I didn't try it. The Greek salad is deconstructed and doesn't contain any ingredients a normal Greek salad contains. (They should probably consider renaming that one) The soup special was a cream of potato soup with cheese and some chili which had just the right amount of spice but a little too much cream. Entrees The steak was well seasoned it was a reasonable portion and the barley under it was interesting and tasty. The elk was very good although the sweet potatoes on the side could use some work. The fish was well made and those who ordered it enjoyed it. Dessert Ah yes we finally ordered dessert! Our waitress was relieved. What a disappointment when the best dessert was actually banana bread they served with the bread at the beginning The carrot cake was just okay but wasn't very carrotty. And don't expect to be able to detect the cream cheese in the ice Cream. The pear dessert was bland and didn't combine the flavors of pear and goat cheese at all. The "goat cheese" barely had any flavor at all. What a disappointment. The chocolate mousse cake was good, a bit rich for my taste but good. The marshmallow and lemon gelatin should be removed from the plate. We retired to the living room although despite the restaurant being empty and assurances we could hang out by the fire, it was occupied. The waitress did a high pour of the coffee Moroccan style which was nice too bad the coffee was bland and burnt. This place is worth trying to get take out from. Wouldn't bother going again.

Came here the other night with my family, as it was my dad's birthday. He turned 72 and said it was the most spectacular meal and service, and he absolutely loved every minute of it. (He's been dining out for years at exquisite restaurants, so there's a lot to be said for him saying that!) Our waitress was fantastic, and joked around with my dad the entire night, which he loves to do. The curried sweet potato soup was to die for, the elk tenderloin was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the desserts were the perfect end to the night (ask to sit in the other room with the fireplace, it's so enjoyable!) The ambiance was amazing, and I would love to come back but probably couldn't afford it until my parents are back in town haha! Expect to spend $$$$ for 4 or more people, but definitely worth every penny. Thanks for an outstanding culinary experience, Keystone Ranch chef and staff!

This place is incredible! Wow. It is 100% worth the extra money. It is in the most beautiful part of Keystone overlooking the mountains and the golf course. There is a new chef (as of last year) who is excellent. To start the meal is fresh baked banana bread, sour dough and this thin wafer bread with cheese on it. It is served with fresh butter and jam. I could have just eaten that and have been happy. For my soup/salad dish I got the grapefruit and beet salad, which is on top of a rich creamy st.andres cheese, with walnuts and fresh greens. It was such a great little salad. For my entree I ordered the Venison which came with little potatoes drizzled with a reduced bacon sauce, freshly picked morels, artichoke and french beans. After eating my plate was literally whipped clean. To finish of the amazing entree and salad, I got to sample every dessert. Wow. There was a grand marnier souffle which was yummmmmy. Also the chocolate mouse with with chocolate ganache was great. To sum it up, I have no complaints about my time at The Ranch. It is a must for anyone wanting a unique experience and incredible food while visiting Keystone or Summit County. Just to location itself is a main selling point, but the food is delish!

The Keystone Ranch has been a family favorite for 30 years probably. It is one of the first places I ever ate true game food and it opened a whole new culinary world to me. They have continued the tradition and still have so many unique offering like elk, boar, rabbit and pork belly, it is often hard to choose, but I usually go as exotic as I can. It was boar this last ski trip. My favorite part of the meal is desert. You move from the main dining room into the "living room" in front of a huge stone fireplace and are served coffee, after dinner drinks and desert seated as comfortably as if you were home or in a friends hunting lodge. The staff from the valets, to the servers to the wine steward and bussing staff just hit every note perfectly. I can't think think of a single bad experience in all the meals we've had here.

This place is really beautiful! My cousin and his bride were just married here and the whole event was fabulous! The food and drink service were definite stand-outs. Kudos to Keystone Ranch for making a special day into an unforgettable experience for my family.

My husband and I came here in October of 2007, and were completely floored by the perfection of our 5 course meal. The service was at a perfect tempo, the log cabin atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the sommelier hit the bullseye with wine recommendations with the Prix Fixe menu. Some memorable tidbits of the evening include a melt-in-your-mouth kobe appetizer, Colorado lamb stew, watermelon salad, the Moulard duck. Delicious berry sorbets are offered between courses to cleanse the palate. Once dinner has come to a conclusion, you are moved from the dining room into a grand living area with a huge fireplace. Here, you enjoy your digestifs and desserts. We had blackberry strudel (with lemon ice cream and lavender pound cake) and the cake-n-shake (delicious, but D Bar Desserts in Denver has the market cornered on this dish). For an updated look at their menu, go to Zagat's and search for Keystone Ranch. I don't know why Keystone Ranch does not have an official website, but maybe it's because they really don't need one, having been a classic, award-winning success since 1980. Be sure to call before ski season begins to ask about their 2-for-1 pricing. We hit that sweet $ spot in mid-October.

The Ranch is an absolute gem in Summit County. It is truly an old ranch house that has been converted into a 5 star restaurant. The fireplace was a honeymoon present long ago. You pull up to this wonderful log structure and you know you are in a magical place. There are historical photos which tell it's story. The food is geared towards fresh game but always includes seafood options. The Holiday 5 course meals are second to none. It is always challenging, interesting and delicious. I have been lucky enough to have eaten here many, many times over the years and have yet to be let down. The service is impeccable. After your meal you will be led into the fireplace room for desert and coffee. I recommend the Grand Marnier Souffle with pistachio sauce. To me, it is the most perfect place to finish an evening. The Ranch at Keystone is my all-time favorite restaurant anywhere!
