Dinner
Before your next day trip to Coleman, be sure to make reservations at one of Coleman’s newest restaurants, Black Cur. Not only does Black Cur make delicious oak and mesquite grilled steaks served with frites and gorgonzola aioli or loaded duck fat potatoes depending on which cut you desire; they are known for a variety of wonderful dishes which change seasonally. A few of the offerings include their world-famous Rancho Loma spicy grilled quail, a 24oz Prime Ribeye which is big enough to share, so you can save room for the signature bread pudding as an after-dinner treat. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to top off your Coleman adventure in this intimate 14 table environment that strives for a truly “unexpected” experience.
