Good Top End Breckenridge Favorite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/15/06
It's been years since I had been to the Hearthstone, but it's still a solid top-end contender in Breck. The renovated old Victorian home offers dining on two floors, including a small private room on the first floor that can easily hold a large party of 10-12. I was hosting a business dinner for seven. We had an excellent table that allowed us to talk easily. The menu is high end prices ($22-32) but you get a lot for your money with prices including soup or salad. The menus is very diverse with some great wild game (elk and venison) and some unique seafood (arctic char and trout with crab). I opted for the cherry pork chop (outstanding and a bargain at $22). Several others went for steak au poivre and a few others for the trout with crab. Meal presenatation and quality was superb. Service was very good. We did have to wait a bit for our table, but it was worth it in the end to get the spot we had. What I especially liked about the Hearthstone was that it offered a great dining experience with enough formality in the environment, but the casualness of a ski town.
