Front Range Inn — Restaurant in Lakewood

What a great experience!

The views and the atmosphere really made me feel at home here but it was the service that stood out to me. Allie and Sarah are quite the team and certainly made me feel comfortable for my first visit. Although it appears that 90 + percent of the clientele there are regulars (can't say i blame them) they clearly know how to treat a stranger here.

Being from the western slope of Colorado,born and raised, this place accomplished the Herculean feat of making me miss home. it was difficult to imagine that I was still nestled smack-dab in the middle of a suburban area and I quickly found myself being envious of the people that had the Southeastern tables because the views must have been spectacular.

it was exactly the atmosphere and clientele I thought it would be. Exactly what I wanted. Blue collar regulars with a biker element.

Detached smoking section was very convenient for me without a hint of disruption to the indoor atmosphere. it has a pool table that seemed to be open and available the whole time I was there and the jukebox had balanced speakers that were never a problem wherever I was inside....

As I was ordering my first drink Ali complimented my shirt in a sincere and genuine fashion and made sure I had everything I needed for my entire stay. Sarah was very attentive and friendly and made sure I never had An empty Glass. She served with an open hand (as an industry veteran this means a lot to me) and my overall feeling of my service was warm and welcoming..

it is clear to me that my overall guest experience is the result of very healthy hiring and training practices. I will definitely be going back again and I advise anyone to stop on by and say hi with great confidence.

The food is great by the way. again it is exactly what I wanted they are not attempting to reinvent the wheel it's just good food that goes with drinks that are cost a little less than I am used to...

Sunday Night Bartender (11/3/24) she was unable to be hospitable at any point of the short 20 minute interaction.

She wanted us to have our meal and drink order done after dropping the menus less than 5 min prior.

She had maybe 1 other guest of the bar and probably 2 tables in the restaurant. No motivation to get anywhere anytime soon.

She properly put in our food order and made my drink as asked. That was not the issue.

She proceeded to start a conversation to someone who just walked in the room and sat at the bar, I assume a local and that shouldn’t be any different on how you approach new guests.

We received no conversation no connection just” what do you want” .

To see that she was able to be friendly and have any interaction with people is why we felt the need to post a review.

My order was a beer, a drink, and spinach dip. Total was 33 I left 40$ cash.

She was happily satisfied to see that cash so again. She knows how to show emotion but she doesn’t know how to be a true bartender and be inviting.

Something that a bartender from 2 days prior, (Rachel) showed us and she was swirling between about 6 tables, running orders and making drinks, still had time to be courteous with all that happening in the background. Even made us a custom drink based on our likes and dislikes in mixed drinks.

Terrible second trip and was really looking forward to having a great end to my vacation stay.

Incredibly dissatisfied and more importantly...

Myself and a friend went to the inn for dinner before a show at red rocks. The restaurant was full of patrons. We found a couple of seats at the bar. The attendant at the bar immediately greeted us and recommended some drinks. We got the coconut cream margarita! Sooo good! I ordered the Cobb salad with fried chicken and my friend ordered the special of the day. The chicken Caesar wrap with fries. Both of our meals came out quickly! The salad was perfect and the fried chicken was crispy. I like that I got two hard boiled eggs on the salad. I asked for two side dressings and they remembered and put them on the side. Their blue cheese dressing is made in house and is so delicious! My salad was crisp and the veggies were fresh. It was a large salad which I appreciated. My friend’s wrap was exactly what she wanted and I tried her fries and they were super crispy and seasoned well! The servers checked on us the right amount of times and we left feeling satisfied with service and the awesome food! We will...
