Highlands Ranch Restaurants - The Old Blinking Light Kitchen & Cocktails

A few weeks ago, we had some company in town and it was an extremely busy week-end.  We wanted to pick out a great restaurant that was close by, but still offered something unique and different.  Living in an area that does have its fair-share of chain restaurants - it is such a refreshing change to dine at a restuarant like The Old Blinking Light. 

The atmosphere is great - we dined inside - but there is also a terrific patio complete with a fire pit that will be ideal for the upcoming beautiful Colorado summer evenings.  Between all of us, we tried entrees such as Baby Back Ribs, the Poblano Relleno and a Spinach Enchillada.  We also tried a couple of the sides including some sweet potato fries.  My kids split a brick oven pizza.  Everything was very good and we were pleased with the southwest twist.  Our out of town guest agreed, that this was a restaurant worth coming back to. The menu mentioned having one of America's Top 10 New Best Chefs - and although I can't remember his name - I would agree that he delivered in this category.  I think it is great that the Old Blinking Light is now part of the flavor of Highlands Ranch.  Whether you live here, are nearby, visiting, or considering locating to Highlands Ranch - you should check it out. 

The Old Blinking Light is located in the Highlands Ranch Town Center at Highlands Ranch Parkway and Dorchester St.
