Near the gondola station at the west end of Colorado Avenue, Chop's does steaks and Rocky Mountain game — elk, bison, venison — in a warm room that feels appropriate to the setting. The meat is well-sourced and the cooking is straightforward; this is a place for people who want a proper dinner after a day in the mountains rather than a culinary experiment.
The wine list leans towards American reds, which is sensible. Good for groups and for a post-ski dinner where you want substantial food without much fuss.
