    The food was good, especially the bbq salmon. We got a nice discount with our IKON passes. The band was great! We were looking forward to the 2-step dance lessons, but there were really only line dancing lessons. The dance teachers did do a bit of 2-step dancing with us since there was no lesson. It was difficult to dance, though, because some kids were allowed to drag each other around all over the dance floor. The ride down on the gondola was beautiful!

    We were not a fan of the Western BBQ, way over priced for subpar BBQ, we got there for a 7 o'clock reservation, its communal seating so the tables were not cleaned from the previous guests. This is buffet style food, nearly all the trays were empty with not much to pick over. eventually they would replace the trays with new food. The BBQ was nothing to write home about. The steak at the carving station was probably the best thing offered. You can get a much better meal anywhere that serves BBQ in downtown Steamboat. We were 2 adults and 2 kids and it was not worth the $275 for the meal. The music and band were good but couldn't wait to get out of here after being really disappointed with the food offering.

    We did it like the chairs so tight that we could not get in and out without intruding on the person next to us . In addition, the dance floor ran over so close to our table we would not get by with food . It appears that people dine early then stay over for the fun . This is great . But no so much for us who come in later .

    When we showed up for our 6pm reservation on March 28, the Steamboat Gondola wasn’t running. When I finally got ahold of the dining reservations team, they informed us the Western BBQ had not been running for a few weeks. They acted like it was our fault we were able to make a reservation instead of being apologetic about the confusion. They were supposed to call me back with alternative options and an explanation, but I never heard back. We were left standing in the rain at the base of the closed gondola, trying to figure out where to take our kids for dinner.
