Convincing with Classic Charm
"Rustic American cuisine may not have that exotic ring some dinner patrons think they require, but at the Grouse Mountain Grill in Beaver Creek, a down-home, classical approach to fine food leaves plenty of room on the plate - and palate - for the eclectic flavors of the world.
"New executive chef Ted Schneider - who has been with the Grouse Mountain Grill for the past eight years as sous chef- expresses his love for cooking the same way he expresses himself: simply but thoughtfully.
"'We are not trying to be something we are not. We try to let technique and ingredients speak for themselves,' he says. In the competitive world of fine dining, the 'we,' which pays credit to his team of three sous chefs and five cooks, is refreshing, and the way he thinks before he talks about his work illustrates his passion for what he calls 'his chosen craft.'"

Beaver Creek Delights
"The hotel restaurant, Grouse Mountain Grill, is also one of the mountain's best; the chef, Rick Kangas, has been honored by Wine Spectator, Zagat, and the James Beard Foundation. Friendly, attentive service is paired with rich dishes that manage an inventive flair without being gimmicky. Seared scallops on black barley are perfectly browned and plump, the mussels in red chili sauce surprising and delicious, served with a glazed sweet potato bread excellent for soaking up the complex, spicy sauce. For dessert, apple bread pudding with homemade cinnamon ice cream is outstanding. The restaurant feels intimate, though a hopping jazz band and the buzz of conversation liven up the piano bar area. Ask for a seat by the fireplace for maximum warmth and ambience."
