Excellent ambiance. Exquisite food. Fine service. If you go early, there are lovely views of the setting sun against the Indian Peaks to the east. They change their menu seasonally, but you can get an idea from last summer's menu at http://tinyurl.com/y8b8xf9 Thu Nov 05 11:13:08 -0800 2009 5156714 54833 ClaireWalter 1 5161203 winter park has a number of decent places to eat, but it's been a while since I have been up there so my memory isn't great. I don't know about fine food (other than Claire's suggestion) but there's smoking moe's bbq, hernando's pizza, and a few other places I can't recall. there was sushi restaurant on the east side of town that was ok and had an incredibly affordable meal deal, but I think they may have closed. carver's has good breakfasts.

The Sushi Bar on the north end of town might be the one he referred to. Also, there's Fontenot's (surprisingly good seafood) and an interesting-sounding fondue place in the Gasthaus Eichler.
