Under
new ownership and management since July of 2007, Chimney Park
Restaurant & Bar continues to create the most memorable
dining experiences in Northern Colorado. Now headed up by
owner and chef, Jason Shaeffer, Chimney Park merges the refined
elements of fine dining with a feeling of accessibility and simplicity.
The staff, cuisine, wine and service are the benchmarks in this
foundation for creating hospitable and memorable experiences.
Chef Shaeffer's vision is to create a dining destination in the
Windsor community and Northern Colorado.
Chimney
Park, the building itself, is a historic piece of downtown Windsor,
originally built in the late 1800's. Established as Chimney
Park Bistro in 2004, the restaurant's decor and character exudes
a welcoming warmth with exposed brick, wood floors, gentle toned
colors, historic pictures and artwork.
Chimney Park's staff prides themselves on relationships with local
producers and the ability to provide delicious dishes using only
the freshest, seasonal ingredients while giving friendly service
and a high quality dining experience.
