Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Table 79 Foodbar is a 2018 award winner for restaurants in Colorado!

When you have a hankering for great food and drinks in Steamboat Springs, there’s no better restaurant to turn to than Table 79 Foodbar.

Table 79 Foodbar has received almost 1,000 reviews on five verified sites with an average rating of 4.66 stars, earning them an incredible Rating Score™ of 96.58 and a 2018 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 restaurants in all of Colorado!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Table 79 was a fun experience. The drinks were unique and delicious; I had the Barrel Aged Tequila Old Fashioned. I would have drunk them all night, but I wanted to be able to ski the next morning! I don’t know if the food or drinks were better, but the Pan Seared Salmon was very unique and flavorful. The menu may look small at first glance, but the variety of food and quality of food makes up for it; you can’t go wrong. The staff was also very friendly giving wonderful recommendations.” – Joshua A.

Not Your Average Restaurant

Jeff, the owner of Table 79 Foodbar, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Table 79 Foodbar apart from the many other restaurants in Colorado. Jeff told us that the whole concept is to bring a city vibe into the mountains. They try to be really innovative and to branch out to tourists and their repeat customers. They have a fun, hip atmosphere; it’s a different concept then a lot of the places in the mountains. Jeff added:

“We experience offseasons, but we stay open year-round and run specials to encourage our locals to visit us as much as possible. Our atmosphere is something that you can’t really put a dollar sign on; it’s an exciting place to be. We try to be a humble, inviting place; we’re not trying to be snooty. We like to be creative and have a lot of fun.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Table 79 Foodbar and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Jeff had to say:

“We try really hard to develop people within the company. We are people-focused and invest in everything we do. It shines through all of our employees. It’s a great place to work; we offer a great family vibe. We also donate to several charities around town. We are focused on people and on trying to provide the best quality of living for our staff. This industry is really about people, and we do everything we can take care of our company members.”

Building Success With the Right Staff

When we asked Jeff about Table 79 Foodbar’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“It’s definitely our staff. We have very little turnover from all our associates. We love to talk about the culture of our restaurant; it’s something we talk about every day. Our roots lie in hospitality, and we are constantly searching for ways to improve both our product and style of service. We see a ton of regulars and tourists alike here, so it’s all about making those connections with our guests.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Table 79 Foodbar has spread the word about who they are and what they do by working with businesses in the local area, as well as through word of mouth.

Clearly, Jeff knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Be really consistent; each day is better than the last… It’s easy to buy someone a drink or give them a dessert; we find other ways to show the customers our support. Every day we focus on consistency and getting better. Our staff is big on building an inner community.”


Congratulations to the team at Table 79 Foodbar for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jeff, for taking the time to speak with us!
