Iron Mountain Restaurant

Published by Debra Rickard on December 22nd, 2007 under Restaurants. | No Comments »

Sorry if the snow kept you from the Happy Hour last night at Iron Mountain Winery.  The bar menu Mac & Cheese w/Bacon superb, Kobe Burger w/frites awesome and the Pulled Pork Sandwich was ok, Frites are execellent, the wine is $2.00 off during Happy Hour.  I tried the Pinot Grigio a little off for me, however the red Pinot Noir was very tasty. 

They took out all the booths and put in tables, put in a lounge type area on the South side of Restaurant,  kind of a stark look, some great big throw rugs would give it a warmer atmosphere. 

Our waitress Jessica Toothaker, was very helpful and very attentive to us, Jessica says they have been open for 3 weeks now.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Styles of Cherry Creek

Published by Barbara Head on December 21st, 2007 under Real Estate. | No Comments »

Cherry Creek house styles are interspersed between little brick homes with older and new townhouses including very modern, contemporary and traditional styles.  There are a few original farm houses in the mix that add to the charm of Cherry Creek.  A great example of an original farm house that is presently for sale is 550 Clayton Street.  The house is made of stucco and has a great garden space that is prime for entertaining.   You can’t go wrong living in Cherry Creek as my broker would say  “It’s like living at the beach”.  You are close to everything from restaurants to shopping.

I have come across a very fun website.  It is the Street Advisor and it is a place that you can type in your address and see how your street ranks as far as vibe, wired, health, value and essentials.  You can also blog on their site about your neighbors - good or bad.  I have added it to the link section so you can keep up on your street and what the neighbors think of you!  You can see above that my street, Garfield Street, in Cherry Creek rated an 87.57.

Wine Tasting at “The Vineyard” a bust

Published by Debra Rickard on December 17th, 2007 under Complaints, Restaurants. | No Comments »

Even though it is posted on the BID’s site, The Vineyard does not do the wine tasting during the holidays, as one of our dear neighbors found out when she walkd down there on Friday’s little snow storm.  I can’t think of a better time to do the wine tasting when everybody is interested in a nice gift to take to all the Christmas parties going on, wouldn’t it be nice to taste it before you buy it.  Oh well……………….

Houston’s Restaurant in Cherry Creek North

Published by Debra Rickard on December 13th, 2007 under Restaurants. | No Comments »

Just heard the rumor Houston’s Restaurant  coming to Cherry Creek, this is going to be awesome owned by Hillstone Restaurant Group  which includes our very own probably the busiest restaurant and one of the most popular in Cherry Creek, Cherry Creek Grill, they also own Bandera’s (which was the name of Cherry Creek Grill when they first opened), Gulflstream, Rutherford Grill, Palm Beach Grill, Los Altos Grill, Cafe R&D, we have been to Bandera’s, Houston’s in Phoenix on Camel Back Road, we make it a point to go there several times when we are in Phoenix.  This is very exciting news for Jeff and I and another boon  for the most popular neighborhood in Colorado,  Cherry Creek North.  The location is to be on 3rd Ave between Josephine and University across the street from Little Ollies on the North side of the street.
