Small restaurant in the heart of Hotchkiss! This chef truly knows his way around his kitchen and everything he prepares comes out delicious...looks and tastes great! This is fine dining in a simple atmosphere. You might consider calling for a reservation. We showed up the first time and it was a quiet night. The second time we went it was rocking. They do live music on occasion, so give them a call and see when someone will be playing. The kitchen is an open concept kitchen, so you can see the chef preparing food while you visit with your friends at your table. It's like being in their home and having food prepared for you, right in front of you. Great place to go!

The Gunnison River is one of Colorado’s most sought after rivers. A good majority of the river flows through the famous black canyon which is difficult but rewarding access boasting over 20 miles of Gold Medal Waters within its canyon walls. The Gunnison can be divided into the upper reaches which is above Blue Mesa Reservoir up to the headwaters of the Gunnison in Almont (Taylor and East rivers create the Gunnison) including the lake fork, and the lower section which includes the black canyon, north fork , smith fork and confluence of the Gunnison forks and the final confluence it has with the Colorado river. There are miles of fishable water, and even more in it’s tributaries and sub-tributaries.
The Gunnison river holds all kinds of trout within it’s forks, but most of the fish caught will be rainbows and browns. The upper reaches of most rivers including the Gunny can begin to hold brook trout and/or cutthroat when the elevation gets high enough to keep cool water temps. The Gunny is a large river and most of it can be floated when the flows are high enough. Ample wade fishing is available as well throughout the year. Fishing varies from easy to moderate and most anglers will be able to find some fish on the sections they choose to explore. Though it is dammed up in several areas, it fishes most like a freestone and contains a ton of stoneflies, mayflies, midges and caddis to keep trout rising and feeding 24/7.

The confluence of the north fork and main fork of the Gunnison creates a great opportunity to fish. The main area is pleasure park which provides plenty of access to fish and catch the “tail end” of the canyon. Great dry fly fishing can happen in this section and is a fun place to spend a day.
