Ensconced in an English Tudor building with beamed ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a copper-hooded fireplace, the casually elegant Craftwood Inn, built in 1912, was originally a coppersmith’s shop. Today this excellent restaurant specializes in regional game and also offers steak, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. The extensive selection of game -- elk, venison, pheasant, quail, antelope, wild boar, ostrich, and buffalo -- attracts the most acclaim. I especially recommend grilled Rocky Mountain elk steak (when available), marinated in herb and smoke-infused oil, and served with a cabernet sauvignon hunter’s sauce. Be sure to save room for one of the superb -- and somewhat unusual -- desserts, such as grilled pineapple with Colorado chèvre ice cream. The outdoor patio provides wonderful views of Pikes Peak.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
