Margarita at PineCreek

A delightful spot to sit and watch the sun set over Pikes Peak, the Margarita is tucked away on the north side of the city above two creeks and behind a gate fronted by giant carrot sculptures. The decor is attractively simple, with tile floors and stucco walls; a tree-shaded outdoor patio is open in summer, and even features outdoor movies on occasion. Saturday evenings bring live harpsichord music to the dining room, and Friday nights often feature live acoustic music -- from bluegrass to Celtic. Although the style of cooking may vary, depending on the chef's whim, the emphasis is on fresh ingredients, and everything is prepared from scratch, including breads and stocks. Lunches feature a choice of two homemade soups, salad, and fresh bread; there are also southwestern and weekly specials. Five-course dinners offer three entree choices, usually fresh fish, veal, steak, pasta, lamb, or duckling.
