BRIDGEWATER GRILL - GOLDEN, COLORADO

BRIDGEWATER GRILL
THE GOLDEN HOTEL
800 11TH STREET
GOLDEN, CO
303-279-2010

I had visited Golden, Colorado years ago and thought it was a cool and cute little town that takes you back in time.  Had the opportunity to take my Wife here during a business trip and once again enjoyed walking around the town.  We ate at the Bridgewater Grill inside The Golden Hotel.  A charming little spot set along a beautiful river that runs through the town and Coor's Brewery.  With a Ford Model T in the lobby and an old time ambiance, this is a great place to enjoy lunch and then take a walk along the river.  We loved the walk and only liked the food.  I started with Herman Joseph's Private Reserve Beer that you can only buy in Colorado.  This fresh, light and refreshing beer was delicious.  The beer really does taste better here.  The Smoked Trout Dip sounded delicious but really lacked the Smoked Trout flavor.  Was mostly a bowl of mayonnaise.  Disappointing.  The house made Carnitas Tacos were good.  Rosa's Award Winning Pork Green Chili was just ok.  After our meal we walked out back to a beautiful setting that really made us feel like we were in Colorado.

Enjoyed our stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver.  Staff was nice and accommodations were good.  Really friendly bartenders that provided exceptional service.  Bar menu also looked really good.  Didn't spend a lot of time hanging out at the hotel but when we were there it was nice environment.

UNITED AIRLINES - SAN FRANCISCO TO DENVER

Flight from San Francisco to Denver was comfortable on United.  I pre-ordered the Cheese Platter from their mobile app.  It was not that good but I was trying to stay low carb.  Service was excellent.

UNITED AIRLINES - HONOLULU TO SAN FRANCISCO

United has really upped their game on service, mobile app and communications. Flight attendants seem to care about their guests more than before.  Service actually better than most Hawaiian Airlines flights.  Meal choices can be made in advance via their app and flight info  and updates are texted right to your phone.  Really impressed with the upgraded service but not a fan of the smaller planes that do not have lay down seats.
