About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Willow Creek is located at Evergreen Lake in the heart of Evergreen, a scenic 30 minute drive from Downtown Denver. A wonderful local restaurant experience since 2009, Willow Creek features a beautiful dining room and patio overlooking the lake, glass walled wine room, and a beautiful rock fireplace. Every table has a view! (Private dining room available upon request).
Creative cocktails and a Wine Spectator Award Winning Wine List, there is something for everyone.
Serving Lunch, Brunch (Sat & Sunday) and Dinner, we make everything in house and source from local farms and ranches whenever possible. Willow Creek Is NOT your average mountain dining experience.
Reviewed by USA Today as one of the TOP TEN Places in the US to eat Housemade Pasta's (Our Rabbit Dish is not to be missed)

On our annual trip to Evergreen, we eat at Willow Creek. The menu is always changing and the changes are good. Service and friendliness just makes it better.

The team made us feel welcome from reservation to when we left. Wonderful service and guidance (2 friends with very different wine taste). Beautiful food that was absolutely delicious. I have gone to Willow Creek for years and through all the environment changes they have held strong to overall values of their service and offerings. Great place for varied occasions. Dinner suggest slightly smarter dress but lunch time I found I was able to feel comfortable with my hiking gear sitting out on the deck.

We went to Willow Creek during a special menu night for Mardi Gras. Walking in we were greeted by the provisions manager Monica. The welcome was very warm and inviting. We went to the hostess stand where we were taken to our reserved table. The waiter came directly over and explained the menu going over the specials. We ordered the featured themed cocktails and an appetizer. The decor was mountain rustic tied with cute antiques and plants. The view of Evergreen Lake was gorgeous. For dinner we ordered the duck and shrimp gumbo and barbecued shrimp with polenta. The gumbo was a well thought out dish which had been honed by the chef over the last 30 years. It felt like I was back in New Orleans. Desserts were simple, elegant, and delicious.

Once again never disappointed in the friendly, professional service or the creative, delicious offerings. We drive a long way and even spend the night just to treat ourselves to this wonderful mountain culinary experience.

We were disappointed that the Valentine's day menu was not disclosed until our arrival at the restaurant. Further the service was very slow and it took nearly two hours for our meal. Willow Creek is still a good restaurant in Evergreen however.
