Welcome to the Bistro! We are a family owned establishment with deep roots in Delta County and the Western Slope of Colorado. It is very important to us that we feature items on our menu sourced locally. Several menu choices will be mainstays. Eleanor’s Apple Dumping has been a William’s family favorite for over forty years and will continue this tradition as our featured dessert. Eleanor has lovingly baked this treat for three generations of her family and has graciously shared her recipe and taught us her technique. And of course the apples in her dumplings are from the Williams orchards in Cedaredge. Thank you Eleanor!
Our goal is to serve the finest barbequed steak on the Western Slope. The barbeque pit will be fired with apple wood from replanted orchards in Cedaredge. Grilled over an apple wood fire, our flame kissed USDA choice steaks from Homestead Natural Meats in Delta are like nothing you have ever tasted! Raised on family owned ranches right here in Delta County this beef has a history that can be traced from the beginning. Homestead cattle are naturally raised without hormones or antibiotics in the fertile pastures and meadows of the North Fork Valley in a low stress, pristine environment. Homestead Natural Meats owns the immaculate USDA inspected processing facility where the meat is dry aged for fourteen days. We are proud to offer this outstanding product and to be a part of the Delta County ranching tradition.
We are very excited to feature the artisan wines of Woody Creek Cellars. Several excellent selections from Garrett Estate Cellars, Verso Cellars, Alfred Eames Cellars and Reeder Mesa Vineyards are on our wine menu and we will be adding to our selections on a regular basis.
We hope that you will find the Bistro to be a place where you can bring family and friends and feel welcome and comfortable, confident that each meal will be as good as or better than the last. Casual fine dining is what we are with the emphasis on casual. Please feel comfortable in jeans and boots or a tux and tie. We look forward to helping you celebrate special occasions and milestones.
