Bistro owners Brian & Sarah Amadio bring with them an extensive background in both fine dinning and customer service. Chef Brian’s culinary experience has taken him from the United States to London England and back again. Locally Brian’s forte also includes time in at the famed Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs. Since their lifelong partnership began, the two have been creating memorable moments for everyone who walk through their doors and we where no exception.

Calling in advance is highly recommended when ever you’re in search of that special taste of résistance for your vegetarian or vegan mate. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Sarah and seated in view of an exceptional old fire place. The historic log interior reminded us of the origins of the building. Our server Bridget went over our menu with a smile reassuring Mary everything was in place for her dining experience. Throughout the evening we enjoyed Doug Neese, piano player extraordinaire. Doug’s selection of contemporary music included the theme from Casablanca. For a moment you could imagine Bogy and McCall off in the corner enjoying a romantic interlude.
My meal began with a generous serving of Escargot Pirouette and Caesar Salad. Known for their superb choice in beef, I enjoyed a thick cut of prime rib for my main course. For desert a Flourless Chocolate Torte finished me off for the evening.
Mary started with Grilled Asparagus and a Balsamic Reduction Paesana Salad. For her main course a Puff Pastry stuffed with vegetables served over a White Wine Veloute. For desert she was presented with apple and cranberry cooked in brandy. Toward the end of the evening Chef Brian came out to spend quality time with each of the guests confirming the evenings experience met everyone’s expectations. For Mary and I, The Bistro at Marshdale delivered an exceptional mountain dinning experience. We will be returning as often as possible.
