Linda and Jerry in Napa choosing wine for the restaurant!

Climb elevated eatery is a place born of the marriage between my love of creating fabulous comfort food and bringing people together to create unforgettable memories; a dream come true after years of planning and preparation. Climb Elevated Eatery’s mission is to provide our guests with consistently delicious, scratch made comfort food along with an array of specialty drinks in a relaxed, fun atmosphere with friendly, attentive service. We strive to be as farm to table as possible in this, “most remote county in the lower 48”!

The name ‘Climb Elevated Eatery’ is a direct inspiration from the Lake City area. A place where people come to hike, ATV, jeep, fish, etc. all while climbing to higher elevations (test your knowledge on the menu elevations and see if you know what each one represents). Now, we invite you to CLIMB your way through our menu and hope that it delights and satisfies you after your day’s activities in the beautiful San Juan Mountains.

Our Mission: To provide our guests with consistently delicious, updated, scratch made comfort food along with an array of specialty drinks in a sophisticated relaxed atmosphere with friendly attentive service. We strive to use locally sourced and organic products whenever feasibly possible.
