We visited Gilpin Source for the 3 rd ( and last) time recently . Unfortunately the previous chef has left, and the dining room has been “updated”. It now resembles a bistro rather than a fine dining establishment with no white table cloths to be seen. In the past, there have been lots of “wows” and many photographs of the amazing food. Not this time though. Although very nice, we thought the food and the presentation lacked any wow factor and the camera didn’t come out at all. Service was OK but a bit slow and there didn’t seem to be anyone in charge. On previous visits we have always been impressed by the way it seemed to be run with military precision. (No Sarah)??? Breakfast the next morning was a disaster - I ordered eggs Benedict which when it arrived actually had 2 completely raw, freezing cold eggs under the hollandaise sauce. I asked for my food to be replaced with an omelette, which it was, but without much apology and no explanation of what had gone wrong. My husband had the full english and he enjoyed that. Sadly we won’t return as I fear Gilpin has had its day.
