Metaphorically, we are knee-deep in ashes right now. While we had all hoped that the losses and damage caused by the fire were minimal, we have had to accept the reality that almost everything in the restaurant is gone. We are doing our best to salvage what we can - including the artwork that was heavily damaged by smoke. We have sought out the best art restoration company in Colorado, and they are going to do everything they can to clean and repair every piece possible.

On the bright side, our team is still intact, and we are in the midst of organizing ourselves to be able to get back to doing what we do best. 

At this time, we do not know how long it will be until the restaurant is able to re-open. When talking with various professional contractors, we are currently under the impression that it will take at least one year.

How can you help?

It has always been one of our goals to represent our community through food and beverage. Therefore, in this moment, a meaningful way you can help is by continuing to purchase goods from the many farmers, ranchers, distillers, winemakers, and brewers that are near and dear to us.

With heavy yet grateful hearts, we share with our community that we will be closed for an unforeseeable period of time.

We are beyond grateful for the person who reported the smoke and for the phenomenal fire fighters who saved the Ore House.

Thankfully, no one was at the restaurant at the time of the fire. While the kitchen and surrounding areas will need a lot of attention, we will come back stronger than ever.

We appreciate your support and look forward to opening our doors again.

For those who have asked how they can help, please stay tuned. We will share soon.

In all the hustle bustle, we like to take time every Friday to open a bottle of wine from our cellar to talk about and enjoy as a team.

Sometimes, we learn about history, sometimes geography, sometimes geology, sometimes an iconic winemaker, sometimes vinification, sometimes farming, often all of the above.

Every week is special, but this week was something extraordinary...

We opened up one of 9 vintages we carry of Cabernet Sauvignon from the iconic Grgich Hills Estate in Napa Valley. To say we were all floored is an understatement. It isn't every day you get to taste a wine from such an important wine maker as Milijenko "Mike" Grgich, and it was immediately apparent why he has had such a huge impact on the wine world.

Little did we know when we opened this wine on December 8th, less than a week later, Mike would pass. The world has a wonderful way of guiding us when we are open. Look him up. If you are into wine, you should definitely know his story.

A smile
An atmosphere
The people

The hands that

Serve you, take reservations, prep food, fill salt shakers and glasses, cook, bake, create recipes, welcome you, build a team, and repair broken things...

The list is endless.

Behind it all are dedicated hearts. Those who believe in creating a feeling of home, wherever they go.

People who see and understand how everything is connected.

If you've been to the Ore House, you've most likely seen this smiling face. Regan is a tie that binds.

It's all in the details.

The seemingly unimportant things like a thinly sliced onion that becomes so much more.

If you enjoy crispy onions, that is!

These onions finish off our Ore House Wedge

You might not believe it, but in that tiny bowl, is a soup that starts by caramelizing 30 quarts of onions. Multiple batches of stock. And most importantly, a whole lotta love, and just a few tears... from the onions, ya know.

The emergency exit is tempting when several things decide to stop working during service hours or right before, but instead of jumping ship, we call in the handyman.

What you don't see in this photo is the 3 year old little guy who loved to take everything apart, including his mama's iron. Ironically, everything was always put back together, in working order, minus a few extra parts. 🙂

Even today, mom is by his side, checking out his handiwork and reminiscing about all the things taken apart throughout the years.

And yes, she is still wondering why there are so many parts left over...
