Hazie's

One of Steamboat Springs's most exciting dining experiences can be found at the top of the gondola, midway up Mount Werner. The views of the upper Yampa River valley are spectacular by day and romantic by night, as the lights of Steamboat Springs spread out at the foot of the mountain. Lunch features a variety of salads and sandwiches, plus a daily chef's special. But it's at dinner that Hazie's really excels. Start with an appetizer such as escargot au fromage, then try the soup du jour or Hazie's house salad with caramelized pear vinaigrette. Finally, choose from entrees like grilled mahimahi with roasted pineapple salsa; grilled rack of lamb marinated with roasted shallot and thyme oil; or lobster tail and scallops pasta, sautéed in wine and served over angel-hair pasta in a tarragon-brandy cream sauce.
