Best Fun Restaurants in Manitou Springs

This was a special dinner for my sister's birthday, a place we'd talked about going to for some time, and we were really looking forward to it! The wait staff were all very nice, informative, and attentive, but... We ordered an appetizer to share the Trumpet Mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious, a departure from the "normal." We ordered our mains - my BIL ordered the scallops, my sister, the filet mignon, and I ordered the bison NY strip. We sat. And, sat. As others who'd come in after us had their dinners delivered... we still waited. Finally, the waiter said that the steaks had been overcooked and they were remaking them. My BIL's scallops came, and my sister and I still waited. Finally! Our steaks came... but there were 2 filets. I asked about my order of the bison and was told that they'd been out of it for a few day. Huh? Okay, I'll keep the filet. But, dang... a Dijon sauce??? Nope. I don't do anything with vinegar. So, I sent it back and opted for the trout, which was delicious. But, the mistakes and the time it took for our mains was really not good, especially for being first-timers. Will we be back. Yes, I do understand that things happen. But, as a higher end establishment, it should be addressed.

Consistently delicious food and great service! Been coming here for years. Salads fresh and crisp, pasta dishes with seafood are my favorites.

Great value for afternoon tea. Delicious teas and treats in a wonderful ambiance.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Our server was AWESOME. He caught some hilarious conversation snippets and rolled with it. The food was incredible, the wine pairings On Point. I definitely felt comfortable and taken care of for a gluten-free dinner along with my gluten-normal friends. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Way cool bar located in the back of an establishment I NEVER had plans to step into- what a waste of time/how silly I've been! I was delighted to find this multi faceted business' offerings- delicious cocktails and mocktails, ice cream, and a welcoming atmosphere for all. Our server was a statuesque, lovely brunette- I didn't catch her name, but she was also attired in what had to be the coolest outfit I'd seen in a while. Especially for COS. She was attentive (but not overbearing) and made our mocktails with perfectly delicious precision. On my way out, I noted that there are themed nights and performances galore, outside of games. I'll be back.
