Chicken caprese salad no bun.
Veronica G.

What a wonderful gem in this quaint little town. This is a wonderful little place to have lunch. Lighting is low almost like walking into a whiskey lounge with the perfect amount of space for you to walk around in. The food and service were wonderful, we had a wonderful time.

Guac and Chips
Nancy H.

We walked in to Elevations after a halfway of shopping in downtown Estes! We were not disappointed! Seated immediately and it got very busy after we were seated! Our server was attentive and very helpful! I ate the Elk Tacos from app menu! There are two and it was plenty! They were delicious, tender and flavorful! My hubs got the Elk Stew and oh my goodness! Melt in your mouth and just the perfect seasonings! We also had the cheese board and chips and guac for appetizers! We loved every single mouth watering bite! It was cool and bar like but also just a chill atmosphere! Loved it! Glad we randomly stopped in!

Chicken wrap

Completely average food and service. The bar smells strongly of cleaner, which is good to know that they clean, but overpowering when trying to eat.

We are local and our 2nd time here. These guys are open late and that's a wise thing in a tourist town. We definitely appreciated it tonight as many of the places close at 9 on a Friday. Well a good experience tonight all the way around. Friendly staff and excellent food. One of the best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever tasted and no I not over stating. With a really good cheese sauce. The simple salad with the orange vinaigrette was really nice. Everyone loved their meal. And the fries are fantastic. A pretty extensive spirits menu great Bourbon, Whiskey and Scotch. Some are reasonably priced a few a bit overpriced but good selection nevertheless. Oh did I tell you about the fries, yeah they are great

For me personally (and those at my table) we had a good experience at Elevations - we both ordered from the "mains" section of the menu and enjoyed our meals. I opted for the Elk Stew and found it to be flavorful. I will note some of the meals around us, more American fare such as nachos and wraps, didn't look as good - so it seems like the house specialties are the way to go here. Service was good but the interior ambiance/vibes were a little confusing. It was hard to discern whether Elevations is attempting to offer a more elevated dinner experience or more of a sports bar vibe. The bar setup, decor, music playing, etc. all made this a little confusing. But overall, an easy to access location in downtown Estes for a quick bite.

Tuscan Pasta

Upon walking in there was no hostess but a waiter jumped up and got us. Service was great and he really stayed on top of us. Food was good and portions were great! Only thing is the decorative art in the restaurant is boring.. so service 5, food 5 and ambience 3, overall 4 out of 5.

Elk Chop
Deanna S.

Great food, great service! I recommend the bison sliders and lobster mac & cheese, (both not pictured).

Looks casual/classy! When we stopped to preview the street menu a man walked by and said "it's always good" so we took his advice! We both had the elk burger and it was delicious! Crispy perfect fries too!!

Smoked Old Fashion

After more than 10 hours of travel and a total fail at another local restaurant (where we waited forever, yes, over 45 minutes, only to be told three times that our order would be up soon but then found out that our order never actually printed in the kitchen--yep, we walked out), we found ourselves wandering downtown Estes Park, tired, hungry, and not exactly in the mood to be charmed. Enter Elevations Eatery--and thank goodness. Brad greeted us with a smile that said, "Don't worry, I've got you." And he absolutely did. Carlos, behind the bar, worked his own kind of magic. These two? Dream team. Brad promised us great food and cold drinks, and he delivered in every way. My Mediterranean Bowl was light, packed with veggies, and full of flavor. That creamy parsley dressing? I could drink it. The guys ordered the Santa Fe Chicken Burger...super juicy with just enough kick to keep things interesting. And my girlfriend's American Cheeseburger was a perfectly done classic that hit every craving. And oh, the cocktails. The guys are still talking over a week later about their smoked Oaxacans, served in an actual oak smoking box...smelled amazing, looked cool, and tasted even better. We girls went with lemon drop martinis, chilled just right and full of tart lemony sass. Honestly, they should bottle that kind of mood-lifter. Brad made us laugh, Carlos kept us happily sipping, and Elevations turned a rough travel day into a night worth remembering. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. We'll be back!

Bison burger
Rachel C.

We tried Elevations based on the reviews, but were disappointed. The restaurant is in a great location, clean and comfy. Our server was inattentive and didn't explain much regarding the errors on our check, didn't refill our beverages and didn't really pay much attention to us, even though we were one of not many eating. Food was OK- I had the bison burger- it was very overcooked and had SO many onions, it was all I could taste, even with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. We also ordered the pork bao buns. The pulled pork inside was delicious, but the bao fell flat and didn't seem to be fresh. Bathrooms were Spotless though!

Sangria
Carmen H.

Whiskey Steak was good. Service was good. Downtown and convenient to shopping. Also had the chips and guacamole as an appetizer. They had buy one get one on the sangrias.. so I got two!!

Southwest Chicken Wrap
Lainie R.

Stopped in for lunch over the weekend. It was an off time so not crowded at all. Place has a trendy vibe to it. I had the Southwest Chicken Wrap which was more like a burrito but very tasty. Other things that were ordered were the chicken Avocado Salad and the Bison Burger. Service was good.

I had hopes with the online pics and reviews. It was basically a bar. Low quality food and mediocre service. Very disappointing.

Bug in beer, no apology. Santa Fe chicken sandwich dry and lackluster and an absolute rip off for 18 dollars. Fries were good.

Our kids (14 & 12) are experienced pool players; we typically play together as a family or let them play a game on their own while we enjoy a few rounds. We've been in 4 times this week alone and were welcomed every time. Today, we were abruptly told they couldn't play due to a 16+ rule by a young bartender who has always allowed us to play. He mentioned that the owner doesn't like kids playing and there is a sign. While there is a sign posted behind the wall and not clearly marked, it has been completely ignored by staff and other families for the years we've been coming here, and certainly wasn't mentioned during our other visits this week. Even today, it seemed to be selectively enforced. If a family is respectful, knows how to use the equipment properly, and has been welcomed all week, there should be some common sense and hospitality applied--especially for repeat customers. To allow it for days and then suddenly change the rules on our 5th visit is just poor hospitality and frankly feels slightly discriminatory.

I heard this place was amazing and that it's a must try in Estes Park but please if you have high taste and are expecting big city level quality, do not get your hopes up! It's not good!! Maybe I'm being snotty for coming from a big city (DC and NYC) so I need to lower my expectations, but I've had great food in Colorado so I don't think that's it. But this was upsetting. And I do appreciate the manager for being so kind because it was really a miserable evening. Starting off we had a reservation at 6:30. So I expect to be sat at least by 6:35/6:40. We made this reservation three weeks in advance. But they clearly oversat people without reservations because we didn't get sat until 7:00. That was frustrating. We waited for drinks for about 20 minutes. They were delicious don't get me wrong. These were the highlight of the evening. The pear spritz and grapefruit margarita were fantastic. Loved. We ordered apps next. I don't know why they think goat cheese is a good addition to potato leek soup. I figured I'd try it because why not. Not good. And the focaccia? Two small slices for $4? I would hope that the waiter would've told us what we were getting because yikes. Why is there more butter than bread? We would've paid extra for two more slices but the transparency made us feel jipped. Now let's talk food. Took about 45 minutes. It's busy, I understand. But honestly I thought it might've been out earlier because our food came out lukewarm. Borderline cold. And talk about salt!!! It was like eating the sea. My mom and I both ordered the filet and were horrified to see it was cut. A filet. It dries it out! But yeah, there was no balance. It was salt on salt on salt. Gross. The waiter was very nice and so was the manager. They asked to take it back. But honestly it was just bad so we were ready to leave. They brought out two free glasses of wine which again was nice. But we again, just wanted to be done and go home. We didn't get dessert even though it was offered. Everything fell so short that honestly I didn't even want to try dessert. Again-- the food is bad. All extremely salty. If you like that, there you go. But the fact that it was basically cold? Yeah that's unacceptable. And as I said, grateful to the staff. But starting off not having been sat for 30 minutes after making a reservation weeks in advance? This was pitiful to say the least. Don't go here unless you want drinks and a beautiful view.
