    Wonderful meals here. The Colorado lamb is excellent. The duck breast is good, too, but mine was a little too rare, to the point of almost being cold. Get it medium rare. The corn fritters were nice.

    Start with the cheese plate (add charcuterie too) with whole grain mustard, pickled vegetables and concord grape sauce. Then get an app, like the panzanella salad with blue cheese (photo).

    Fantastic.I love food and go on a mission to find the best when I travel to different cities(from Atl). Had the beef cheeks that are braised for 48 hours, snails, and a cheese app. Great drinks too

    Great cocktails, as everyone says. Bone marrow was excellent, as we're the oysters. The Buddhist Chicken was out of this world. Colorado lamb was succulent. Perfect meal, outstanding service!

    Delicious oysters, tasty cocktails and bone marrow appetizer. Everything we had was fantastic. Highly recommend their Irish coffee for dessert.

    The $6 charcuterie + cheese plate makes for quality grazing - standouts include the porchetta di testa, beef tongue pastrami, and lomo embuchado. Read more

    The menu is well thought out, too, with a number of dishes featuring parts of an animal that some people would consider scraps, including award-winning bone marrow. Read more

    Craft cocktails. Justin is my favorite. If Pork Shank is on special, get it and get ready 🎉 and the sticky toffee pudding is phenomenal

    Believe the hype! This restaurant reminds me of some of the best NYC bistros. The chef had elevated each dish to a new level. Farm to table.

    In a town known for craft beer, Colt & Gray is awesome at craft cocktails. Tell the expert bartenders the flavors you like and let them work their magic.

    Excellent place for cocktails, one of the few bars I know that carries Leopold Brothers Navy Strength Gin. Highly suggest for a nick cocktail.

    Best cocktails. There's no other comparison. Kevin not only knows his classic cocktails, but he geeks out on his funky beers. Check out the growing wine list. Best burger in town. Get the gauntlet

    Go for the Sazerac and the mean foieburger. You will not regret it. Esp if you've got KB behind the bar. Sticky toffee pudding will finish the night right.

    We love Wine Down Wednesdays when every bottle is 30% off! Start with the amazing Charcuterie and don’t miss the Pan Roasted Rabbit!

    The bartenders at Colt & Gray don’t mess around. Just describe some flavors that turn you on, or tell them about a cocktail you dreamed about, or even your favorite band.

    The cocktails at the bar were fantastic, however, for dinner and great service, don't go here. We didn't get our drinks with dinner nor did we get seated within 15 minutes of our reservation.
