Harwigs - Steamboat Springs

On September 25th I requested a reservation for October 15th via their website. This was for a special celebration. After two weeks I had not received a confirmation and began calling Harwigs. I left several messages asking about my reservation request but again did not receive any confirmation. I called again on October 12th to receive an answering machine message that the kitchen would be closed the month of October. Despite this their website still will accept reservation requests for the month of October. Now I am left at the last minute without reservations. I cannot speak as to the quality of dining at Harwigs, but their communication is deplorable.

Visiting Steamboat we planned our dinners in advance. We understood that Harwig 's was going to have a set course menu, but for the price we were disappointed. The escargot was cooked perfectly, but they lacked flavor. The shrimp ceviche had the most flavor and best presentation of all the dishes. The staff was friendly, but they did not seem to have any established processes or flow; service was slow. Obviously this is a locals favorite. But having dined in some of the best restaurants Colorado ski towns have to offer, we were not impressed.

Once in a lifetime private dining experience. you are escorted to a cute little wine cellar to eat. favorite dishes were the oysters and french onion soup. this is a must visit if you are in steamboat springs, but prepare for a pricey meal.

Our chef's tasting dinner in the impressive wine cellar at Harwigs was the most memorable night of our trip to Steamboat. From the blue cheese martinis and Old Fashioneds that Chris expertly prepared to the extensive wine selection, the bar is top notch. Our meal was incredible and rivaled the finest of NYC restaurants. Besides everything we loved on the tasting menu, we're so glad we indulged in their famous French Onion soup! JJ was a gracious host and such a talented chef. We hope to make dinner at Harwigs a tradition for our annual ski trip to Steamboat!f

I love that Steamboat has really weird little spots like this. It’s weird to me because the entire restaurant is very old school—from the patrons to the menu which is not typical in resort towns. It’s really interesting to see.I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. It’s a French restaurant that serves a very hearty tasting menu with a really awesome staff. The wait between each courses can be long but I thought it’s worth it. The monk fish was delish, and the first three courses were some of the healthiest courses I’ve had in a long while.
