    Blueberry and Lemon Curd Pancakes
    Robert D.

    This was the fanciest breakfast we've ever had. Well worth the price just make sure to reserve a table ahead of time. We got the blueberry pancakes, bushwhacker, and chilaquiles. All the food was amazing! The chilaquiles was my favorite. It was basically breakfast nachos. The bushwhacker was also amazing. My 10 year old loved it! Not to mention the scenic view from our table.

    Visited on my last day in Colorado. I made reservations for brunch as a precaution but I think we would have been seated quickly regardless. The restaurant is located on the Stanley property and the outdoor dinning views are just gorgeous. Our server was on it and checked in multiple times to make sure all was well. Our food did take some time but was delicious. The coffee was basic but I just couldn't get over the views. It definitely is on the higher end for Estes Park but I expected that given the location.

    Definitely the best brunch location in Estes Park! The food was fresh, house-made and absolutely delicious. I opted for the eggs benedict and shared a lemon blueberry pancake... wow wow wow. I'd highly recommend both. The fresh, fluffy biscuits alone were to die for. Service was fast and friendly, and there's great views of Estes Park from the dining room. Definitely give Brunch & Co. a try if you're in town!

    The Bushwacker. Yummy!

    From the view of the Stanley hotel to the mimosas and food; my girl and I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The service was good and the staff is very friendly. It can be a little pricey to dine here but the food is well worth it. Sit outside if you can and make a reservation as it can get busy quick. A must try in Estes Park. Enjoy!

    I ordered the lobster roll. Completely dry. I chose the home potatoes which were also very dry, had to get ranch just to eat them. $42 bucks with tip is not worth it at all. Service, waitress was nice but charged me for ranch knowing I didn't enjoy the lobster roll. The host was tired and didn't smile or seem to want to be there. Food and drinks were not served in order they were taken. Plus, you have to pay 10 to park there. Ambiance is hard to beat with the views and the only reason for the 2 stars. I used to recommend this place, I will no longer do so. Disappointed.

    The chilaquiles fiasco: cheese removed to the left and what I left on my plate inedible to the right.

    First the good. You can't beat sitting down and relaxing for a meal inside the Stanley Hotel. The views are memorable. Also, the pottery used to plate the food is beautiful as were the flowers on the table and other touches. Unfortunately, the bad was the food. I ordered the Chilaquiles which I told the waiter was something I order often... asking if it was authentic and good, to which she yes, but to add chorizo to it to make it better (which I did). The dish was described as handmade chips with green and red salsa with 2 eggs (so far so good) - but when it arrived it was 1) cold 2) chips were cold and mushy and hidden under a pound of cheese with a beautiful pile of chorizo however. But I had to send it back because the large donut of melted hardened cold cheese around the edge of the plate was very unappetizing. When it came back, the chorizo was gone... the soggy chips were the same, the eggs were removed and replaced with perfectly cooked ones, but then the entire plate was once again covered in an additional pound of cheese and then melted. It was literally inedible. I took 5 minutes to scoop out the mountain of melted cheese onto another plate and another to separate out the soggy chips (that were flavorful) to eat with my eggs but all was again cold after this whole ordeal. On an upside, my daughter's French toast looked and tasted beautiful. Another smaller but valid issue is that the coffee was horrible... nice hotel- nice restaurant--- quality coffee seems like it could be a simple fix... and the coffee cups were the smallest I had ever seen, making it necessary to be filled after 2-3 swigs -- which of course is impossible unless you have someone dedicated to roaming the dining room filling cups, which they did not. The service was friendly and they did try very hard to address the issues with the food - which finally ended with the manager taking the inedible dish off our bill. (Appreciated) She also offered to replace it with something else, but that moment had passed.... The main disappointment, other than not being able to eat my breakfast, was that the night before I had eaten an incredible dinner at the Cascade restaurant in the main hotel where everything was amazing and had incredible attention to detail. I'll leave you with 2 thoughts: no one should order or definitely eat the Chilaquiles. It's a heart attack waiting to happen, and the view is gorgeous, but skip the coffee and get tea or orange juice instead.

    Crab cake sandwich.

    Amazing food and service. Great view of the mountains from your table. Would definitely eat there again.

    As Brunch & Co is part of the Stanley Hotel, I was expecting mediocre food at outrageous prices. I was dead wrong. This was the best brunch I have ever had. The aesthetic is the same as the Stanley - upscale haunted Rocky Mountain lodge. The menu is "The Shining"-themed, down to blood splatters on the pages. We started with lavender mimosas, which were amazing - even brunching all over Los Angeles for decades, I haven't had such a delicious mimosa. We chose two of their Signature plates, the Here's Johnny! and the Mrs. Grady. Here's Johnny was a scratch-made buttermilk biscuit housing ham, egg, gruyère, hollandaise, a sweet mostarda, and a "maple bourbon gastrique". It was absolutely phenomenal. Mrs. Grady was fried chicken and waffles, served with slaw and syrup. Hearty portions; outstanding flavour. I'll repeat: this was the best brunch I have ever had. The mimosas, the quality of the meats and scratch-made items, the ingenuity, the theme, the location - I wish I could come here every weekend and try every dish!

    Although we weren't staying at the Stanley, I'm so glad I read the reviews here and stopped in for breakfast today. We had just a short wait but were able to be seated on the front porch. Beautiful views and weather, servers were on point. The universe was smiling down on us! Hubs ordered coffee and decreed it was very good and he is a real coffee snob. I had the classic bene which looked delicious - but the biscuit was a bit dry and overly large. The "salad" that took up much of the plate was sadly just dry greens. My husband's steak breakfast was good, steak was perfect but over medium eggs were pretty undercooked and had to request replacements which came out quickly and were perfect. The food was really tasty and even with the "issues " we would totally go back again!

    First time here, it was a quiet little stop. Service was fast and attentive. This is probably the best brunch I had in Este Park. Everything on that breakfast plate was beautifully cooked with a balance of texture and flavor.

    Food was amazing! Service was excellent we had a minor hiccup but she fixed it immediately with no problems. It's a cute, quaint restaurant and obviously a plus it's at The Stanley Hotel! They tell you a longer wait then it actually is FYI! We were told 30 minutes it was actually 10.

    Brunch & Co. Bloody Mary
    Nelson L.

    You can't beat the ambience for smooth brunch environment. Any table inside provides at least some great views. Weather permitting an outdoor table will leave you breathless. But the ambiance is quickly smothered by the blaring rotation of pop music. An occasional smooth jazz tune brings you back in time with the surroundings, but few and far between. Servings are generous. By far, the Strawberry Shortcake stole the show! Eggs Benedict were tasty, but drowned in sauce. Would still get again. Crepes got a thumbs up! With ingredients being locally sourced, occasionally they run out of some ingredients. Though not all servers know as we had return visits to our table asking for substitutions. Overall service is very good. Mostly friendly and pleasant. Albeit slow. Was half deep into the Bloody Mary before our order was taken. But that's not a bad thing!

    Rude hostess!
    Al R.

    Hostess was so rude! Our party of 3 requested a table by the window. There were several that were empty. Two were taken, by parties of 3. She told us they save those for larger parties. I looked at the 2 tables seating 3, and she said, yeah, I know but I'm going to follow the policy. Wait, what? Thanks for making our first impression of The Stanley a really bad one. By the way, the only other party to arrive while we ate was a party of 2. Food and our waiter were fine, but she kinda ruined it for us for no good reason. Sorry, would not recommend this place.

A decent chai tea latte and plenty of Diet Coke from the start for my companion. Our server was personable and offered great insights on the menu.

    Update: our youngest started vomiting on the way home a few hours after eating here and has been…read moredoing so ever since - it's been 24 hours, she has been vomiting all night. All symptoms point to food poisoning. We will not be back. This was our first visit to You Need Pie. What we liked: Our waiter was really hospitable, friendly, and did his best to provide service in a timely way despite being the only server available for all the customers. The coffee was decent, though in a small mug, and so was the hot chocolate we orders for the kids (which came with whipped cream, much to their delight!). The decor on the walls felt kind of scanty but what is there was cute. There is a pretty wide pie selection. Food serving sizes were okay. The single person bathroom was clean. What we didn't like: *The $2 veg add-ins of onion and jalapeños to the $12 omelette were raw. *The corned beef hash was extremely basic and barely seasoned, the potatoes were well cooked but bland and pale. It was edible but not worth $15. *Our party ordered a $9 bread bowl soup and waffle fries as well; it was eaten but the cheese ingredient was really overpowering in flavor - the small size was a good thing, in this case, because otherwise it couldn't have been finished. *The batter on the chicken tenders in the kid's meal were almost burnt on the edges, but still pale everywhere else. Something off with the oil temperature I guess. They didn't get eaten. *The color of everything was pretty much all beige and served on white plates, which impacted the impression of the meal - zero visual appeal. One of my favorite parts of eating at mom-and-pop diners is the way the meals feel homey, warming you from the inside out. This did not create that kind of impression. Lastly, the pie (which was the main draw for us and why we picked this dining option). We ordered one slice of rhubarb at $6.25. The pie was very disappointing - something in it was either stale or had gone bad. It tasted really unpleasant and we ended up throwing it away. Our total for everything was about $80 with tip and it was sadly not money well spent. We love stand alone dining options but probably will not be returning.
