Climb Elevated Eatery

This place is just amazing. We’ve eaten here at least once pretty much every year we take our summer vacation. This year we were staying in Creede, but made reservations and drove up just to eat at THE CLIMB. It’s that good. The owners and the staff are just absolutely amazing and friendly and work hard to make sure your visit is unforgettable. I order the Peak Experience menu item myself and highly recommend it, my daughter recommends the homemade fettuccine Alfredo. She’s an Alfredo aficionado and claims it’s the best there is. Her friend recommends the quail. But let’s be honest, everything that comes out of this kitchen is amazing. You won’t be disappointed!

Still the best (and most pricey) restaurant in Lake City. All dishes are made of excellent quality ingredients. You can definitely tell the preparation and care is handled by a professional. The service staff is trained to be a couple notches above all others, with their politeness, smiles and impeccable timing. All of this is an 'experience' more than a place to eat. Reservations are recommended. My highest recommendations!

Stopped in for early dinner after off roading. Didn’t have to wait for a table and service was fast and friendly. I had the Fettuccini Alfredo with added beef tips and I have to say it was probably the best Fettuccini Alfredo I’ve ever had! My wife had bison tenderloin which she loved. I highly recommend Climb Elevated Eatery!

This place is a "hidden little gem" of a restaurant in Lake City, CO. The food, service, atmosphere, views, wait- staff and owners were all amazing.

I love restaurants that have no comparable competition in their area yet still strive for a level of quality that sets them apart to high degree. Climb is far and away the best restaurant in Lake City. We started with a charcuterie board, highlighted by a delicious elk sausage and locally sourced honey. I followed that up with the "Taste of Colorado". A combination plate of elk tenderloin, lamb chop, and southern fried quail. All three were cooked perfectly and each included a gastrique that paired nicely. Elk/blueberry, quail/raspberry, and lamb/balsamic glaze. The pièce de résistance was entitled "Elevated S'mores" which consisted of a deconstructed s'more enriched with a fresh baked brownie and French vanilla ice cream. Portion sizes on all our plates were generous to say the least, yet not a morsel was left to be brought home. Even better, the service was superb! What a pleasant surprise to find this place tucked away in the San Juans. An absolute MUST if driving through this quiet mountain town.

The inside was far nicer than my dusty motorcycle camping day deserved, and their two-seat porch tables suited me perfectly! A delicious cocktail and appropriately sized chicken pot pie (cheapest on the menu? it definitely didn't taste like it) were just right before I took to the Alpine Loop to find a campsite

Came here with friends and we’re happy to get last reservation as I tried for 3 days in row. The shishito peppers with beef tips were out of this world. Pasta portions are large but worth it. Filet Mignon was delicious. Owner is charming and knowledgeable and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner. This will be one of our more memorable meals and we’ve eaten all over the world.

We come here every year to lake city and look forward to climb!! The menu is small and absolutely delicious. If I could give ten stars I would. We literally eat here almost every night or get to go! Good tip: if you want to go call a little before prime time and they will accommodate you. To go takes just as much time to put together as waiting the table so being courteous and calling before prime time helps them out tremendously. Also the owner is always at work and such a great chat! So don’t forget to say hi!

Climb was an excellent dining experience with wonderful tasting food/drinks. We greatly enjoyed having our anniversary dinner here, and would highly recommend it. We felt the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of the food.

The food is stellar, at least my pork chop was and my husband really enjoyed the chicken pot pie. What made our visit exceptionally memorable was Razvan's service. This young man was friendly and competent. We were a large party and he tracked all the requests and separate billing by couples straight.

This food is seriously good. We ate outside, in a tent-covered patio. Appetizer was a salad with a lemon vinaigrette dressing and main course was a delicious chicken pot pie (pictured). I can recommend this place, but you should make reservations ahead of time.

We came across Climb when looking for things to do while in Lake City. We emailed to make reservations a month in advance (I don't think that would be necessary, but we are planners). And all I can say is WOW!! Everything about this place is top notch. The food was amazing!! But what makes a place even better is it's atmosphere. From the host and the wonderful staff, even to the other customers, everyone was pleasant and polite. We are very lucky to have found Climb and when we return to Lake City, we will definitely plan another night out here.

We’ve been to climb a few times. Creative drinks with high quality food is what you get. The spinach artichoke dip was the standout food wise for us and the Round Mountain (blend between red wine and whiskey) was a total surprise! Make sure you get a reservation. Getting a walk-in spot is rare.

Wonderful food, friendly staff, truly a great restaurant to come to Lake City. They do have limited seating so be sure and call ahead for a reservation. The pork chop was the most delicious thing I have had in my whole life, 10/10 would recommend.

I highly recommend the beef tenderloin! And the fillet mignon or just everything. It's all awesome!!

This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Colorado. The Southwest Power Bowl with Beef tips is out of this world and the best post hike meal. The artichoke dip is also the best ever. Then the second time I ate here I got the fettuccini alfredo with added beef tips. It was also amazing. The owner was super kind and gave us some great hiking tips for some 14ers and local hikes in the area. I can’t wait to visit again next year.

Fantastic experience and the food was absolutely incredible! We didn’t have reservations and they were able to squeeze us in for a celebration dinner. Great customer service and one of the best steak houses around!

Unbelievable experience..my wife and I enjoyed a lovely evening with impeccable service. The food and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. Lake City is lucky o have such an excellent culinary option.

Showed up after riding on the alpine loop for a good meal, didn't realize reservations should have been made but they squeezed us in immediately anyway. The appetizers and dinners we chose were all excellent. The waiter was very prompt and efficient. It was a nice treat to find a higher end restaurant in such a remote location. Will definitely stop by again if we make it back to Lake City. The pineapple jalapeno margarita was great but be prepared for a little heat.

Came here five years ago and today my experience was just as fantastic. That’s a testament to the love and care the staff and managers put into this place! Great food, but the service definitely goes above and beyond. Even though it was booked up with reservations the hostess got me a table outside. I didn’t mind at all even though it was about 55 degrees and raining. Then she came by and gave me a blanket because I was in shorts! Can honestly say that’s never happened. Will keep coming back every time I’m in the area!
