Stopped in for lunch during our last visit to Estes Park. We were greeted immediately by the staff and seated at the bar. The service from then on was top notch. Our food was very good, would especially recommend the Elk Stew - it was delicious. While the atmosphere is a little modern for our taste, we really enjoyed our visit to Elevations. read more

I ordered the beet salad with to go and it was ready in about 5 minutes. The hostess was very friendly & accommodating. The description sounded delicious- arugula, beets, oranges, avocados, hazelnuts and a citrus vinagrette. I would have liked if the arugula was mixed with other greens because it was a little sharp tasting and it could have used a little more dressing. read more

This was one of the few restaurants without a wait on a summer Friday night in Estes Park, which is probably saying something. The menu seemed overpriced, even considering the location. So much so that my husband and I who normally order drinks, stuck with water. We enjoyed the wild game platter, but it was a sloppy presentation and we certainly expected more from the most expensive item on the menu. Service was ok - we had to ask several different servers for things we needed throughout the meal. Of all the places we ate on our trip, this was probably the least memorable. It was eating for the sake of eating, and not really a standout experience. read more

Food was good, not great. Service was minimal. The board out front for the specials is very misleading. So you have a larger bill than was expected and the waiter wanted to argue. So I will not be going back. There are better restaurants in the area than this one. Spend your money wisely. read more

Deflated after eating here. First the "elevated Margarita" was advertised with lime juice. It had to contain a lime mix -- no real lime in here. The Colorado Trout was dried out and tasteless. The accompanying roasted potatoes, were cool, soggy and almost uneatable. The edamame appetizer tasteless. Service poor, no sooner than our drinks had arrived, the appetizer showed up. Then 2-3 minutes later, the main course arrived. A good waiter or kitchen would time courses so that each one could be enjoyed, Instead we got everything almost at once. Nice looking bar. read more

We were welcomed in by our very kind waiter, Yavid. He sat us at the best table by the window. We were very impressed by the diverse menu and wanted to order everything... of course we didn't :) we started with ordering two smoked old fashioneds that came out in a beautiful smoked box. They were very delicious and worth every penny. We order the Bao appetizer. For dinner my husband had the steak and it came out just as he ordered. I had the southwest wrap. All in all I loved the food, drinks, and surprisingly, the conversation with the waiter Yavid. Highly recommended! read more

Great bar with huge selection. Had a smoked Old Fashioned that was well balanced and not over sweet I have Alfredo with Salmon and pasta was not over sauced and seemed fresh. Salmon was cooked perfectly. Wife had the Ribeye but had the sauce on the side, and the steak was tender and very flavorful. Prices are better than many of the higher end restaurants in Estes Park. Highly recommend read more

Service was great but for the family the food was average. The elk burger was satisfactory but it wasn't anything crazy. The meal was satisfying though. Everything else was just satisfactory, but nothing stood out read more

A wonderful experience on our day off in the mountains. The cheese burger was cooked perfectly and our server was awesome!

We went for lunch on a Tuesday. They weren't busy so they could seat our party of 7. Our waiter was wonderful....very kind and accommodating. There was a wide variety of food and we all liked what we ordered. Ambiance was fine for lunch I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We had a great lunch at this restaurant, the ambiance was great Mostly tourist to visit the Rocky Mountains. We had a Philly Sandwich. And the Spicy tortilla soup. That was so good! and the cold weather helped to make this soup delicious and just enough Chile to make it spicy. read more

Stopped in after hiking RMNP around noon. The place was full but we got seated right away. Thought that we would have to wait for a long time for our orders, but got our lunches pretty quickly! Good thing because we were hungry! Casual vibe with a bar and good amount of tables. Food was awesome! Burgers were perfectly cooked medium rare just the way we like 'em! Hubby liked the elk stew. Overall, great casual place with friendly and fast service. Great stop for post-hike eating! read more

Visited this place while vacationing in Estes Park. The service was excellent, it was not crowded so we got extra attention! The smoked old fashioned was quite a presentation and my husband said very smooth. We shared the lobster Mac and the Brie Jelly burger both were fantastic! There is construction right now but we walked from our Airbnb, cannot comment on parking. Worth the stop! read more

Literally didn't even make it to sitting down because of how rude and disrespectful the hostess was. There wasn't even a line nor was the restaurant busy but she was over whelmed and rude. She cursed in front of my kids and family. We just left. Will never darken their door step ever again. When I let the manager know about her cursing he thought it was funny. Oh well. There is better spots anyways I'm sure of. read more

All the meat my party ordered was overcooked. The service was lacking. The Elk was fatty and way overdone when I asked for medium. The old fashioned was also way too sweet. There was nothing special about the ambiance. read more

A friend told us to try a burger here while passing through and we're so glad we did! My husband and I both had the Classic Bison Burger and wow! What flavor! They were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender and the grilled onions and cheese - perfect! Can't believe I ate the whole thing! We also ordered the homemade guacamole - another amazing dish with such flavor! The service was great - we were seated and served within minutes. The ambiance is bar like, with plenty of tables. This is a must-do if you're in the area and want a great tasting burger! read more

Stopped in Estes Park after traveling all day en route to RMNP. Wasn't super busy, got our food quick without any complaints. Burger was pretty good, fries were delicious - nothing extraordinary, good lunch spot. My boyfriend got some blackberry cider that I really enjoyed. Would recommend - it's right in that downtown area so lots to do and plenty of shops around. read more

The food was lackluster and the service left much to be desired. The best parts of the meal were the French fries and the broth dip for the elk tacos. Bison brisket sliders were juicy but lacked seasoning, and the elk tacos were overloaded with pico. There was an interesting vibe in the restaurant itself, and everyone was nice, but you could tell the serving staff were overwhelmed. read more

TLDR: Come here if you need a non-reservation restaurant providing no-frills sustenance Estes Park generally has poor food options, so this one was our choice for when we forgot to make a reservation elsewhere. Location was convenient right on the downtown strip, and service was friendly and attentive! The food was cooked simply but sadly with no actual flavor. read more

I got food poisoning from the Bison burger yesterday. I know this happens anywhere (and the burger was yummy!), but it made for a very unpleasant total loss of the day today. I should have had the bowl that my wife had, with no meat, but she said that wasn't very good, so real Sophie's choice here. read more

Seemed like the best option on the little downtown strip for a meal but it's probably better to eat elsewhere and not bother unless you want overpriced food. It wasn't bad, but definitely underwhelming for the price point. Our group ordered off the burger/sandwich section. The pros: The corned beef sandwich was good with generous amounts of sauerkraut. The fries are also legitimately good and came with all our orders. No complaints on the service or ambiance. The cons: the spicy elk burger doesn't seem like they seasoned the burger, and the bbq pulled pork sandwich seemed I could get the equivalent (possibly better) for significantly less from buying prepackaged pulled pork and a tub coleslaw from the grocery store. Also there are only 2 bathrooms and one had a toilet that wasn't working properly. read more

Great little stop mid day in Estes Park . Had an elk and deer steak combo that had a crazy good sauce on it . Nice selection of spirits and some good local beers. .Service was pretty good and the setting overall had a nice vibe . read more

3.5 rating, if possible. I got the Spicy Elk Game Burger ($19) and my lady got the lobster mac-n-cheese ($23). I know...you would expect the Game burger to be better since we are in Elk country, but no. The Elk burger was pretty flavorless and the "wild board sausage" atop didn't play a supportive roll, if any. It must have less fat bc it was ordered medium but was quite dry. I recommend medium rare or add lots of your favorite condiment. Lobster mac-n-cheese was a good portion and flavorful. I can't penalize the amount of lobster bc restaurants never serve enough lobster. Our friends were relatively happy with their pulled pork sandwich and whiskey steak. One more FYI...no sides come with either sandwich so fries will add another $3 to your meal. God bless! read more

This place is bomb!! My friend & I were shopping in town & decided to stop here for dinner. Such a great decision! First off, our server, Yadav, was awesome! He even gave us some great hiking recommendations. Everything we had was DELISH!! We shared the beet salad & lobster Mac & cheese, she had the vegetarian squash bowl & I had the elk stew. I'm surprised it wasn't very busy for a Saturday night, especially since the food & service was spot on. Stop on in, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. We chose Elevations because they seemed to have a good selection of vegetarian options such as the bowls, but the Mediterranean bowl ingredients all tasted like they had come out of a bag and been tossed together with no seasoning. It's hard to ruin chips and guac, but the guacamole also tasted prepackaged and the salsa was bland and sweet. The trout was rubbery and fishy and the potatoes were dry with a syrupy sauce. The elk stew had a decent flavor but had very little substance and consisted of mostly liquid. Quite disappointing for the steep prices they charge. I won't even go into the appalling music selection, but it definitely contributed to the lackluster experience. read more

Terribly overpriced drinks with slow service. Smokey old fashioned had a great presentation in a wood box but the orange peel was actually a chuck of orange, seeds and all! I'm giving the two stars because of the great old fashioned presentation. read more

Had an amazing dinner there. Not one of our meals had anything to even b about. Everyone said that there food was cooked to perfection. I had the Brie and Bacon Jam Burger. The burger was perfect, the fries hot and crispy, but the bacon jam...was the cherry on top. It was so good that I even used it to dip my fries in. Supper yummy. Our waiter was extremely professional, courteous, and Friendly. Great to go and enjoy some extremely delicious food. read more

I was very surprised that this establishment only had 3.5 stars. We stopped in and they had Buffalo Trace bourbon for only $10 per glass. I coupled this delicious bourbon with an Ell burger topped with Wild Boar jalapeño sausage. Incredibly delicious dinner. Highly recommend for meat eaters. If you are looking for a vegan meal this might not be your place. My wife wasn't overly impressed by her veggie wrap. read more

Nayen was an amazing server, one of the best we've ever had! Mashed potatoes were outstanding, pulled pork sandwich was absolutely perfect. Drinks were always full, dirty plates removed immediately... affordable and delicious very clean restaurant & restrooms read more

Our first time staying in Estes Park while visiting RMNP had my boyfriend and I looking for something different. Elevations was absolutely wonderful! Their cocktail (it was a spin on an aperol spritz) was delicious and the two of us split the wild game sampler and the creamy chicken Alfredo. Both meals were prepared exceptionally well and were the perfect size. Service was friendly and timely, the space was open and felt welcoming. I did not feel rushed or sat on top of the person next to me. We would love to return the next time we find ourselves in Colorado! read more

The very first time we tried to eat here we were turned away because of staffing issues. We came back the very next day and we were seated at the window. It was a very good place to be seated. Inside was very family friendly. I had the vegan squash bowl and my husband had the pesto pasta. We each added a salmon filet. The food was good. The reason for only 3 stars is the salmon could have been better, it was pretty bland. The vegan squash bowl was very good and the pesto also very tasty. read more

The menu is a hodge podge of items. Edamame, to octopus dip, to elk burgers and more. Our main courses were fine, nothing special. However, our burgers were prepared however the chef wanted - we were not asked how we liked them cooked. The main point of this review is our appetizer. We ordered rib tips. They were buttcheeks. Nothing like what we expected - some were edible, and others were nearly all cartilage. Overall - our meal was just not what we expected for the price we paid. However, our server was very nice and the view from the restaurant overlooking the street was nice. read more
