| I’ve got a lunch reservation at Casa Bonita today. I haven't been to west colfax or Casa Bonita since about 1988, what am I in for? |
| Haven't been to CB since it re-opened, but knowing that neighborhood, you are probably in for a missing catalytic converter by the time you come out of the restaurant. |
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand, Paul Bhranfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933, Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics...

Well I did not get my catalytic converter stolen and the food was10% better than I was hoping for. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |
| So, worth it? Food was good, very good, excellent? I've never been. Even before the Southpark guys bought it. |

I’d say decent food, now. We watched the cliff divers, hit the wishing well, and got a free tarot card reading that was fun. They had a live band, ballon artist, face painting, puppet show, magician, character sketch artist, arcade, guitar solo guy, two gift shops, photo booths, character actors walking around, and of course the caves along with a small museum. It brought back some childhood memories of the place. It was about a two hour deal from arrival to exit. For me, YES, worth it to go down memory lane and experience the updates. I last went as a kid in the late 80’s and it delivered today. |
| So, best if you bring kids, or pretty decent for just wife and I? |

Reviving this old thread the way Trey and Matt revived Casa Bonita. The place was a disaster (and that's putting it mildly!) when they bought it out of bankruptcy, and they had to sink $40 million into it - more than six time their original renovation budget - to get it open again. Watch the documentary '¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!' on Prime to see the behind-the-scenes story of the renovation. |
It's never a 'big deal' until you have to pull the trigger.

| Are they still doing metal detector and the whole TSA treatment to get in? I went a few months after they reopened and while the experience inside was fun, i almost called the whole thing off when I saw the part of town it was in and the fact that they disarmed me to go inside. There were drug addicts in the parking lot and i wondered if my car would be there when i got back. |
