Bird & Jim

Established in 2017. At Bird and Jim we are defining Colorado cuisine with our ever evolving seasonal and ingredient driven menus sourced from the Front Range of Colorado and beyond. Our menus are influenced by our artisan approach to cooking, the ardent nature ofour neighbors, and the farms from which we source. Chef Ethans cooking philosophy revolves around local, sustainable and healthy eating. In September 2016 seeking a place to spread her wings and start her own restaurant Melissa Strong was introduced to the new owner of Alpine Trail Ridge Inn and the Sundeck restaurant. After rezoning and subdividing Strong and company were able to start creating the space for Bird & Jim. Friends for years Melissa, John Witmer and Jimmy Kuch talked about a chance like this. After a few meetings, beverages and bringing chef Ethan Brown in–the partnership of Bird & Jim came to be.
