Blue Canyon Kitchen and Tavern is a great way to take a trip out to the Rockie Mountains without leaving Northeast Ohio. Located in Twinsburg at Route 82 near the I-480 exit Blue Canyon has transported a Western Ski Lodge to our area. The decor features hewn lumber throughout, high pitched ceilings, wooden beams, fireplaces and plenty earth tones along with art suggesting the great National Parks of the Western USA. With great planning, they have manufactured a view that makes Twinsburg look like you are in the mountains. The overall look is warm and welcoming, especially as the weather gets colder.
I was there for a financial seminar, so we were seated at safe social distancing in the back event room. Masks are required, as is social distancing. I did notice that they have added plexiglass barriers at the bar to provide additional protection. The event was well run and the service was very nicely done.
For the event we had a limited menu, with a choice of Salmon, Chicken, Ravioli or Steak; although the Ravioli sounded good I choose the fish. The meal started with a nicely composed salad, greens, pickled onions, baby tomatoes, a nice vinaigrette and tasty pecans to add a nice pop. The Cedar planked salmon was nicely cooked all the way through but still moist, sided with crisp green beans and hearty mashed potatoes. Overall a nice plate of hearty food, nothing cutting edge, but a nice meal. We finished the meal with the Chocolate Bomb, chocolate sponge cake topped with white chocolate mousse then covered with a chocolate ganache, a sweet treat.
Blue Canyon provides solid American classics well prepared and presented in a unique environment. With the limited travel opportunities during the pandemic, this is a great option if you want to feel like you have traveled across the country without leaving our home base.
