    Obviously Paul was trying to create a whole different restaurant experience with Brass from what he accomplished at Cafe Diva for decades. Brass has a well lit, contemporary look and feel about it with a “happening” atmosphere…. it’s just ok to be a little loud with your crowd and even speak to your neighboring table. Drink menu is solid and drinks are served quickly ( no hunting someone down for your next ). Wide variety on the menu and our table started out with Tuna, Hummus ( big set up ) & Korean Short Rib . Our Entrees included elk, Bolognese and short ribs - all well portioned and good. Finished off a couple of bottles of wine ( of course Paul is going to have fabulous wine list ). Of note: expected prices to be 25% higher - Brass is a real treat and value.

    The atmosphere was great, more of a “locals” feel. The scenery was amazing. You can watch people night ski down Allison hill. The service was great, fast and timely. The food was good and didn’t take long to cook. We made reservations, arrived 10 mins early. Seated upon arrival. After eating we went to the outside area to enjoy drinks and scenery. They were very accommodation for our group of 9. Highly recommend the food, it was delicious.

    We live in Steamboat and have for 50 years. Arum is our new go-to place when family visit. The Happy Hour menu is great and well priced. We usually order some off the Happy Hour menu and some of the regular menu. What we like, as locals, is they will take a reservation. This is needed for us during peak seasons. And I requested a table by a window so we could watch skiers on Howelson Hill and I was enthusiastically accommodated (several weeks ahead). We have Vegetarians in our family and Arum is nice about making changes (like tonight they would have left pork belly off the SteelHead…). Everyone is sincerely friendly too. We love coming in the summer to sit outside but will be back more this winter. The general vibe just feels right.
