Jimmy's An American Restaurant & Bar - (970) 925-6020

Cache-Cache, Campo di Fiori, & Jimmy's are separately owned but share a courtyard. Jimmy's is one story above the others & so overlooks both that courtyard as well as Smuggler Mountain. I love the ambiance...homey & stylish at the same time. Wheat-colored stucco walls with bead board wainscoating, arts & crafts-like back-lit photos of various sports that appear to be lighting fixtures, imaginatively designed track lighting, different for each area, outdoor balcony dining as well as indoor. The menu is strictly American & instead of bread, a plate of soft pretzel sticks with mustard is served. I started with a tomato, mozzarella, arugula salad served with a reduction of balsamic vinegar. The tomatoes weren't in the greatest shape & I suspect they had spent time in the refrigerator when they shouldn't have. My entree was the appetizer sized (6 oz.) crab cake. It was wonderful, certainly filling & I was glad I hadn't ordered the entree of 2, 6 oz. cakes. The price by the way is $30

We've met friends at Jimmy's and had plenty of room at the table. Food varies from excellent to average therefore the very good overall rating. Good atmosphere, not too glitzy. Friendly staff and good service.
