Atmosphere is casual and the vibe is laid back with a Grateful Dead theme. On our second trip in we sat outside on the patio and had the same two drinks plus we ordered the breakfast burrito!

Ask for extra salsa, the one tiny one that's included is nowhere near enough for the size of this dish.

Charming location with a cozy mountain-town vibe, delicious flavors, and attentive service…read more This spot was recommended during our work trip to the area, and we couldn't have been happier to visit. Though the restaurant is small, it's clearly a local favorite. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and seated within minutes. The chips and salsa set the tone--smoky with just the right kick, absolutely addictive. For my entrée, I ordered the steak tacos, served with rice and beans that were bursting with flavor. I also had the chance to sample a shrimp taco, and if I had to choose again, I'd go for the shrimp. Lightly battered and topped with a pineapple-mango salsa, it was a perfect balance of crisp, sweet, and savory--truly mouthwatering. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a local gem in Manitou. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

My companions liked the enchiladas. We all had margaritas which were good although all our glasses were very sticky.

This visit brought me in for Mother's day brunch and it's evident that the establishment is under some major construction but this didn't deter from our feast. It seems the hotel could use some repairs and touch ups and so it's good to see that is underway. The buffet provided a wide variety of options from omelette station, breakfast items, seafood options, prime rib carving station, loads of sides, salad bar and more. My favorites were the au gratin potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and Mac & cheese. The dessert options were very limited as most items had run out and weren't refilled, but I was too full to care. Service seemed a little curt, but was sufficient. I don't think I would ever make a true judgement of a dining establishment based on a buffet experience so I'll have to go back for a regular service to truly explore what the Cliffhouse has to offer these days. Hopefully it is full of excellence as it once was. I'll be back.....

Cliff House at Pikes Peak - Thanksgiving "Buffet" 2025…read more We booked the Cliff House Thanksgiving dinner buffet for our family of five and paid around $500, expecting a special holiday meal in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. The "buffet" was set up in a small, cramped room, and the food quality was shockingly bad for the price. The turkey was clearly pressed turkey, not carved from an actual bird. There was no salad station, no green beans, no yams--none of the traditional Thanksgiving sides you would reasonably expect. Most of what was there tasted like it came out of a can or had been previously frozen, and everything was salted to within an inch of its life. They also mixed in brunch items, but those were just as bad. There was a silver bin of waffles that were so hard I could barely cut them. There was a single platter of fruit, and many of the other buffet options were picked over and lukewarm. Staff were slow to replenish trays or bring out anything fresh or hot, so what we saw was what we got--and it wasn't good. For the amount we paid, this Thanksgiving dinner was a total embarrassment. We ended up leaving a lot of food uneaten because it simply wasn't edible. I would not recommend the Cliff House Thanksgiving buffet to anyone, and we will not be returning for future holidays. We came back to our hotel, which was in Colorado Springs and called the Doubletree Hilton, and told the front office staff how disappointed we were in this very expensive Thanksgiving dinner at the cliff house. They told us that their kitchen is selling a Thanksgiving dinner for $25 a plate and would we like to try that. They said it was pretty good. We thought what the heck because all of us were still hungry. The Thanksgiving dinner that the Doubletree Hilton in Colorado Springs provided was one of the best Thanksgiving meals I've had in a long time. Huge portions, very tasty food, real pieces of turkey straight from the turkey, not pressed, and a third of the price. They literally put the cliff house to shame. Let me put it this way the Cliff house Thanksgiving buffet would have to move up about 10 steps before they were even as good as golden corral.
