"We have been attending Colorado Mountain Brewery since it opened on the Westside. Thrilled for their presence, especially knowing the deep history of the roundhouse, The Golden Cycle Mill, the westside. Generally has been ok to at times very good. Depending on the choice of course. The beer has always been good to at time very good. Three months ago we held a large 70th birthday shindig. Went well. Service excellent. Food good to really good. However, overall the last few times otherwise have been trending to mediocre and lower. Yesterday tho was a new low. Unfortunately our service, server, flat out missed it. Had to repeatedly ask for things. No silverware, this after food was served. We thought we'd wait for her to notice. Didn't. Placed wrong order of food but by this time we were just not wanting to keep pushing to get things right. Server just plain missed things. They weren't that busy. So... sigh. Food was faltering. Sure, prices keep crawling up. Expect that. But for a $45 tab, the Reuben was dismal. The fish and chips passed, but barely. We chose from the menu, mainly from past experience. But this time everything missed. Must express that CMB is presenting as many food service businesses that get tired. Or precisely a lack imagination. Not only the menu lacks imagination, and this is after having been to CMB since it opened and have watched it over the years, but the food prep is hit and miss. Hard to mess up a Reuben and during the previous birthday party was good. This time tho... a tired, lazy slide. Going deeper, FIX YOUR TABLES. Years of wobbly tables. Sugar packets and sundry other things wedged under legs. Still. C'mon CMB, lazy. And yes, the business has long hours. Still, the floors were filthy, at 3pm. That was jaw dropping. Not crowded, have enough pride to pick up a broom for a few seconds? So, is sad to see a westside business present as tired. Now dropped from our West Side list. Sad for us."
