Some History About The Restaurant -

The house was built in approximately 1890. The actual date is not known, because in 1910 all of the city's records were destroyed in a fire. Instead of trying to recreate factual records all buildings were given the 1910 date. This house is on the Historical Society's Westside walking tour, & is recognized as having the first bay window in Longmont.

In the 40's the house was added onto & converted into five apartments. In 1980, the first floor became an art gallery & cafe. In 1982, the art gallery was moved to one of the apartments upstairs, a commercial kitchen was added onto the rear of the house, & a deck was built on the south side of the house, converting the entire first floor into an Austrian restaurant.

Frank & Ann Kaven bought the house in 1990. They converted the three apartments on the second floor into one & created a playroom in the attic for their two children, Christopher & Sarah. Simultaneously, they renovated the restaurant & opened ChriSar's Grill & Pasta House (yes, their two children were the namesakes), on Easter Sunday, April 15, 1990.

In 1992, the deck was enclosed & converted into a sun room. In preparation of their 10-year anniversary, the restaurant received a facelift introducing cool colors, textures & furnishings in the spring of 1999. To celebrate the new millennium, al fresco dining was introduced in the spring of 2000.

In the spring of 2004, Frank decided that since the children had grown up it was time for the restaurant to. So he decided that the decor needed to be relaxed, the menu made fun again, & everyone in here would not only be comfortable, but a casually sophisticated place for adults to relax & enjoy!

We sincerely hope that we become your favorite place to be. Categories:   Restaurants
