Perfect place to bring out of town guests, because the view is amazing. I've been a few times. This is a great place to get dressed up and have drinks. The last time I was there was just for drinks and dessert. The bartender made me a really bespoke drink for me that fit my dietary needs at the time and was delicious. We also went for Father's Day one year. Super busy. Presentation is always beautiful. read more

We made a reservation and specifically requested window seating because the view is the main reason people come here. When we arrived, there were multiple open tables right by the windows. I politely asked if we could sit at one of them, and the hostess immediately shut it down, saying those tables were assigned to certain servers. That may be how things work internally, but as a guest, it should not feel like you are being denied something that is clearly available, especially when you made the effort to request it ahead of time. What stood out even more than the refusal was the attitude. There was no warmth, no attempt to accommodate, and no sense of hospitality just a cold, dismissive interaction. First impressions matter, and this one set the tone for the entire experience. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it. My country fried steak was dry and lacked any crispness, like it had been sitting out for a while instead of being freshly prepared. The potatoes had the same issue dry, stale, and not worth the price. Nothing tasted fresh. I will say our server was kind and tried to do a good job, and the view is undeniably beautiful. But a great location cannot carry an experience when the basics hospitality and food quality fall short. At the end of the day, this is not just about one table or one dish. It is about how guests are made to feel. People spend their time and money here expecting a welcoming experience, especially when celebrating moments or simply wanting to enjoy the setting. Being met with indifference and attitude instead of basic courtesy is disappointing. Think twice before booking here. A beautiful view means very little when the hospitality is poor and the food feels neglected. I hope management takes a serious look at how guests are treated from the moment they walk in and asks themselves a simple question: if you were the customer, would this experience feel acceptable? read more

THE VIEW WAS STUNNING! The mountains were melting all my stresses away and finally helped me relax. We asked to sit outside since the inside was so quiet and I'm so glad we did because the sunset view was so beautiful. All the food was flavorful and delicious we ended up coming back the next day for lunch. We tried the tenderloin and brownie for dinner. The steak frites and cheesecake for lunch. My only critique is the temp of the steak kept coming out different. We asked for medium rare and received well done. Then brought our friends the next day and asked for medium rare and received rare and another friend received well done. It's hit or miss with the temperature. All of the staff was so wonderful and helpful! read more

Honest dine in review: Come well dressed, and look like you can pay the bill... but also, please enjoy the view as the Garden of the Gods in the background is amazing with a bite... even if it's mid. 1.5/5 I just finished enjoying a relaxing day at the Spa in Manitou and arrived in comfortable clothes to walk in to this dining establishment. Had a hat on which I was asked to remove (understandable), yet there was someone eating in a hat? Service was extremely slow, and while others were asked if they wanted dessert, I was given a check when I wasn't finished with my meal and told there would be no rush. Short, and simply put... dress nice or be a member of the establishment otherwise... you may have a similar experience. Might be worth the view, I wouldn't go back. -Cubano: 1/5 As you'll see in the picture. It's a small sandwich, dry, not enough Dijon sauce, extremely dry for the pork which tasted more like dry tuna, and seemed very underwhelming... However, the homemade pickles were good! This is a new addition to the menu and it felt as if it was trying to be something it wasn't... fries were good and accompanied by a small amount of ketchup. For $20+ and a $6 Arnold Palmer, this combination left you wanting more unfortunately. 1 star for the view as it's divine, and I'll be generous and share another star for the whole experience as it was underwhelming, and felt as if I should've worn a suit to have received better treatment... read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Grand View restaurant. The place is definitely aptly named as the views are spectacular. We came for brunch and the food was pretty good, but not necessarily worth it for the price. I tried the breakfast burrito and my sister tried the eggs Benedict. Both were pretty good but not anything particularly noteworthy. The service was friendly but the kitchen was a bit slow (it took about 25 minutes for our burrito and Benedict to come out). We didn't complain though because we got to sip cocktails and take in the view. I guess overall, it's a great place to experience for a nice view and decent food, just expect to pay a bit more than you'd expect and accept that the food won't knock your socks off. read more

First, can I just say that the view at Grand View is absolutely beautiful. I mean, it really is a grand view (I included a picture of me in front of the view haha)!! It is so pretty we even witnessed an engagement! Magical doesn't describe it! Anyways... let's get onto the food and drinks. The drinks are as extravagant as the interior. They smoke the old fashions and use really pretty garnishes. They're really good and the bartenders are really kind and have great personalities. I will say, the only problem was that we didn't put in our food order for about 15 to 20 minutes after getting drinks. They're busy, but that is one thing to keep in mind! We sat at the bar for context. Either way, we enjoyed the bartenders and weren't too bothered! I think the main reason this is 4 stars versus 5 is the price of the food and the portions. I know this is at a resort and is quite fancy, but $34 for pea risotto (with no meat) is crazy. I make risotto at home and you can make at least 4 portions of this for that price on your own time. The pork belly was also dry. But the pesto was fantastic on the chicken pesto pasta. And the German chocolate tart was very decadent! I just feel like the pricing is a bit much for what you receive. But it does taste good. Anyways... I thought it was very nice! You're paying for the ambiance and drinks more than the food. But it was all beautifully presented and with great company, it was a perfect night. read more

Granted the view here is amazing and the facility is beautiful but that's where it ends. I've eaten here twice for celebrations, a birthday and a bridal shower. Today was the bridal shower at brunch. We were seated outside at two tables, 9 people total. The waiter, Ron, asked for drink orders. Thirty minutes later those who ordered bloody Mary's, etc. got their drinks. One drink was delivered while we were taking photos but was set on the wrong table. It took us a minute to figure out whose it was. Finally we ordered food. Finally it came out. The service is soooo slow here. I got the lox and bagel, which I guess was good. The tomato desperately needed salt and pepper; there's none on the table and wait staff never came by to check how things were. Who makes anything with fresh tomato with zero salt and pepper? My neighbor got the quinoa and oats and ate maybe 1/4 of it. Others got the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was orange. Not sure what that was. We finally got our bills. I put $25 cash in the folder and Ron picked it up. About 20 minutes later he comes by and asks who had the lox and bagel. Dude, you took our orders! That's supposed to be part of being a waiter; knowing what everyone ordered. Anyway he comes over and in front of all 9 of us, says I didn't pay the bill and shows me an empty folder! I sharply, politely told him I put $25 cash in the there! He had an aha moment and walked away. No apology for embarrassing me. Now just where did that $25 go in the meantime? He didn't use it to settle the bill at the register. Did he think it was a tip? WTH? If you are staying at this resort do not for a moment think this is a great restaurant. You will be sorely disappointed. Locals do not eat here. We come here when we want to take nice pictures for some life event and unfortunately have to endure the high prices for mediocre food and service. Don't be fooled. Plenty of much better places to eat in Colorado Springs. You can find my first review for the birthday party under the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club listing here on Yelp! It was atrocious. This place could be the best restaurant in the city if it had better management and clearly a better chef. read more

Amazing view. Mussel and Filet mignon were excellent. The mashed potato went perfectly with the filet. Other dishes were ok, but the lettuce in salad was very dry and we couldn't finish. The impression on food is mixed, but the view alone is worth to visit. read more

Excellent service , appetizers and deserts were top notch & the view was awesome. Thank you

First let me say, 5 star view!! If you've never been to Garden of the Gods it's worth going just for the view. Service was also great. That said, prices are premium and food was solidly in the "meh" category. We're not really "send it back" people but the tuna crudo was very low quality and we didn't eat more than a bite. The little gem salad was kind of a joke - just an uncut head of romaine with a few croutons and radish slices. The half chicken entree was decent but just not a $45 dollar entree. read more

Beautiful venue, excellent service, and delicious food. Went there to celebrate my niece's graduation and had such amazing time there. Our server was excellent, friendly, funny, and attentive. The views are breathtaking. The food and desserts delicious. This place is recommended for a celebration and/or a date. read more

Delicious food, small range menu but everything was very good. Good service, and fast at the bar. Beautiful views outside and the inside of the restaurant was also gorgeous. Only complaint is that I was there for a birthday, and they would not allow me to bring the cake in read more

My partner and I came in for sunset date night recently and were very pleased with our time here! The staff was able to accommodate an earlier reservation for us which was very kind. We were seated promptly and had excellent service the whole night from our server Sammy (Sami?)! The views are truly incredible and I felt fortunate they placed us near the windows so we could have a front row view of the sunset. I enjoyed everything I ate- the bread started, Caesar salad and chicken parm. And zero complaints about the cheesecake and bread pudding desserts! I definitely recommend trying this spot and I would love to return in the future read more

The three stars is for the view, server and the complimentary bread. The actual courses we ordered were not great for the price. My husband ordered the roasted chicken and we give that dish 0 stars. The taste just wasn't great. We actually sent it back and the server offered another dish or free dessert but my husband had lost his appetite from his two bites of chicken. I will say the views were so amazing, it's a shame the food didn't match up. read more

Tons of reservations available. Made for 6 people at 11am on a Tuesday, booked the night before. Service was professional and patient with our two little kids. Our server had children of her own and was great with ours. Family friendly in the sense that they do have a kid's menu, but there were no other kids there, and no coloring activities available. Not surprised given the slightly more formal nature of this restaurant. $194.46 total including tax/tip for 3 drinks, 4 entrees, 1 side, and 2 kid's entrees. Pricey for ok food, but you're paying for the view which was indeed gorgeous. * Chopped Cobb Salad ($17) - 4 stars Ample blue cheese, ranch, and bacon. Could have used a little more lettuce as it was pretty intense. * Sauteed Trout ($34) - 3.5 stars The yucca root purree and spiced sunburst squash were amazing. The trout was well done, and personally I like mine a little pink in the middle, and I couldn't really taste the chili-lime glaze. * Kid's Rotini/Hot Dog ($10/$12) - 3 stars Very basic meals; the hot dog and bun were quite big. * Rotini Alla Vodka ($25) No rating as I didn't try this, but just noting that this dish had the exact same volume of pasta as the $10 Kid's Rotini. Of course, this had nicer toppings, but perhaps not fifteen dollar's more of toppings. read more

This meal was completely unforgettable! We were lucky enough to snag a table outside with the stunning views of Garden of the Gods at sunset. I didn't expect the food to be good, given that it doesn't have to be to bring in tourists with the view it has, but it was spectacular. The pasta Provençal blew my mind: the noodles were made from scratch, and the tomatoes marinated in tremendous garlic, butter and seasoning. The filet mignon was also perfectly cooked and hardly needed a butter knife to cut. Cocktail and wine menu are extensive as is the dessert menu. Service was excellent: staff cared a lot that we were happy and enjoying ourselves. read more

The view is why we continue coming here . The food is good yet underwhelming and pricey for a family of 5.The biggest complaint is the very slow service and when i asked for help after a water goblet spill by a 2 year old , it took over 5 minutes and the bus girl was at the table next to us . It's time for the club to match food and service to the amazing gift of the Peak and Garden of the gods! read more

We went for lunch on a rainy day , so we were seated inside this is my view . I got the Wild Mushroom Pasta it was a bit bland or I might just like salt too much lol it was good and tasted like real pasta a good portion too. He tried the Chimichurri Steak , the smash potatoes were a tad salty but wow they were delicious the steak was medium rare and we thought it was cooked and seasoned just right the chimichurri on the steak wasn't something we tasted before but it added a zing to it all . The onion rings were not soggy or oily they were crispy. Would I eat here again ? Yes I would. read more

Was very disappointed in the quality of food for the price that I paid. The high cost must be due to the view of the Garden of the Gods, but I do not think it was nearly worth it. My server was very sweet, but she did forget to put in our appetizer. I had to ask for it as we received our entree. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was almost all dark meat and just really unappetizing, and my waffle was cold. I think that only three tables being full in an entire large dining room as we were seated for brunch on a Saturday morning tells you everything you need to know. This place has SO much potential. I truly believe that with an improvement in the food quality and service, it could be massively successful. read more

Service was terrible had to ask for jelly 3 times and finally came adder we were done with our meal. Did get one refill on the coffee but that was it nothing else. You would think with price we paid for our meals we could have gotten better services. Need lots of improvements. read more

Food was way overpriced and not good - dry chicken and bland fish. View is amazing, so rating is just food.

My friend and I hiked around Garden of the Gods, then searched for a nearby restaurant. We had never heard of either Grand View or the Garden of the Gods Resort and Spa, but what an amazing find! (And yes, I found them on Yelp). If you are in the area, I highly recommend Grand View Dining Room, if for no other reason, the view is AMAZING! We would have stayed all afternoon, if we could. Service was lovely and food was both tasty and reasonably priced. But the view. Oh my! Check out Grand View if you haven't already. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

My boyfriend made dinner reservations to celebrate my birthday during our Colorado Springs trip. Located inside Garden of the Gods Hotel, the Grandview offers dramatic views of the stand stone rock formations. We requested to sit outside to admire the view. The Grandview was recently remodeled and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent. Our waitress Stacey was friendly, attentive and such a pleasure. She went above and beyond to explain the menu options and made recommendations. I cant forget to also mention our host, Mickey who was friendly and seated us upon our arrival. We ordered the half roasted chicken. The meat was tender and juicy- 10/10. The mushrooms and mashed potatoes were amazing. The Denver steak was made to perfection. I ordered the cucumber blossom cocktail, which was very good and strong. Also had a glass of white wine, i just can't recall which one. Our experience was top notch, service was five-star. My boyfriend and I were extremely impressed by their attention to detail and quality service. read more

Ok. Ill start off by saying we've only been here for Sunday Brunch. And you must know the menu is different from the typical breakfast any other day of the week. BUT I will continue to come for Sunday Brunch because these are the Best Chilaquillas Ive had in Colorado! The first time here was for a birthday brunch & our service was less then stellar to say the least, which sas unfortunatedue to the celebration. We sat for at least 30 mins without being asked to take our order, our entire party watched as our waitress hung out at the kiosk & chatted with other workers including partaking in a LONG almost inappropriate hug from another co worker. While we sat & watched, hoping to get her attention I finally asked who looked like a manager walking by if we can place an order. He sent our waitress over who was clearly less then thrilled with us (which was Awkward). But the food & view made up for it, we just chalked it up to she was having a bad day. The second time around our waiter was a Gem! Sweet kid who was on point (so sad I dont remember his name...). Once again food was so good, we all passed our plates around in a "you must try this" fashion. We got to sit outside in front of the pond and just like the first time we got to watch as deer casually came and roamed around. The red rocks from Garden of the God's are just right in your face & it makes for a Beautiful backdrop. read more

If you are not staying at the resort or a member of the club, DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. Four friends and I were coming from hiking at Garden of the Gods and went to have lunch here. The hostess took our information, then went to check on something. She came back and asked if we were club members or guests at the resort, and we said no. She went to check on something again, came back and typed on her computer for three or four minutes. She then told us that the kitchen is closing soon, so they could only seat us, but as long as we're willing to order our food within the next fifteen minutes. We told her that was no problem and she sat us at a table. We waited at the table for 25 full minutes with no one even filling our water glasses, let alone take our orders. We made eye contact with/tried to flag several waiters to no avail. After 25 minutes, we left. We mentioned to the hostess on the way out and said "Oh I'm sorry" but nothing beyond that. It might have somehow been an honest mistake, or it might have been a deliberate snub. Either way, horrible experience. read more

The service was great! Our waiter was attentive and always checking up on us. I ordered the steak and frites and wife order their lamb. The steak was ok and the potatoes were cut in thick wedges. Nothing special. The lamb was a surprised. It was ground lamb smashed into a patty and fried with panko. Total miss on this one. The lobster appetizer was delicious. read more

My wife and I came here for Saturday brunch and unfortunately, we did not have a great experience. I'll start by saying the front desk staff and the hostess were all very pleasant. The view...INCREDIBLE. We ordered appetizers, brunch, and a cinnamon roll to top it off. It wasn't busy at all, a reservation wouldn't have been necessary. The meal pacing was horrendous. We waited at least 10-15 minutes between each course. Every single chip in my chilaquiles was soggy so I was disappointed. After our second course she informed us that there wasn't any cinnamon rolls left, bummer. We pivoted and ordered French toast but it was taking FOREVER to come. Once we saw a cinnamon roll land at the table behind us we decided to just pay our bill and leave. read more

Staying at the resort and enjoyed many fantastic breakfasts, lunches and dinners. One of the very best steaks I've ever had and our family owned steakhouses, so that says something as we know good steak! Scallops were perfectly cooked as well. Also loved the buttery sole meunière. They have delicious salads and I highly recommend the green goddess or summer salad. Service is very friendly and efficient and you can't beat the stunning views of the Garden of the Gods. read more

Great ambiance. Amazing staff and service. Very professional. We had a wonderful time enjoying the resort view, although our reservation was at 7 pm and the sun was already down so remember to consider that if you'd like a sunset view. I got the lamb and it wasn't what I expected but it was better! Sides and drinks were also great. My husband got the steak & frites and he enjoyed those as well. Would definitely come back again. read more

Came for dinner and food was nothing spectacular especially for the price. The views definitely carry the place, we saw super cute deer and rabbits.

From the parking attendant trying to kill us to the cold food, our Thanksgiving dinner was not so great. I'd say hard pass.

Absolute greatness. The best dining setting outside The Broadmoor. An amazing wine selection, Grand View can be enjoyed with or without a boozy infusion. The majesty of America's Mountain framed by Garden of the Gods makes this one of the top five picturesque settings open to the public for dinner in the United States. read more

Service was a little slow. I noticed many other tables not getting things delivered. It probably took close to 15 minutes for a beer and three wines.

My daughter and I had brunch here on a snowy Sunday morning and had a fabulous time. The view cannot be beat as you looked directly out into the garden of gods. I had the salmon bagel and it was loaded with lots of lox and crisp capers. My daughter had the French toast which she said was fabulous. We will definitely be back for both the food and the view read more

The view is fantastic and the service was great. I moved away two years ago and just moved back. I was excited to introduce my friend to this restaurant because it used to be one of my favorites. I was met with disappointment because the cost is much higher and portion sizes are much smaller! My friend and I both ordered the scallops and were surprised at how small the portion size was for $49! One of my favorite menu items was the brussel sprouts and that's no longer on the menu. There also wasn't crème brûlée, which is my favorite dessert! I wasn't happy with the changes. read more

There are so many restaurant options in Colorado Springs that it's hard to choose when you're here for a short visit. But this place was named as best view, so I came - and it was that and more. Best part: view of Garden of the Gods rock formations with Pike's Peak behind them. Great to come here around sunset. So this restaurant is located inside the resort, it is the one open to anyone while the other is just for club members and resort guests. But this one def has the better view. Make reservations ahead of time, but for a Sunday night it was pretty sparse, so yay. But reserve a table by the window if you can. This is a high end restaurant and the service demonstrates that. I had an excellent server (Ryan, I think?) who was very welcoming and friendly. He was great at giving suggestions about the menu - I took him up on the German wine option, soup, and desert. The other servers all work as a team bringing food and drink. It's set up as a four course meal + dessert but you can get fewer than 4 courses. They are pricey and small, but I was actually quite full at the end of it all. Course 1: Lobster Bisque. Very good! Incredibly rich. Course 2: Scallops in brown butter with cauliflower and sliced almonds. The scallops melted in my mouth. But personally the flavor on the yellowed cauliflowers was meh. The butter was too much for me. Now, it might be fine for other folks! Course 3: Quail stuffed with wild rice and mushrooms. Now this was excellent! Wish I had skipped the scallops and gone for this. It is the full bird so watch out for some thin bones. T comes with a sauce but I thought the stuffing was rich enough I didn't want it. Course 4/Dessert: Chocolate dome. The mousse was sooo good. The vanilla bean ice cream - I wasn't a fan, and the crushed dried cake or whatever underneath it tasted stale. But the dome was super super good. Also: complimentary salmon pate thing (I forget name) and delicious bread and butter. The ambience is lovely. I loved the view and was there almost 2 hours for my meal and just savored it all. There's a door in the corner so you can go outside for photos. There is outdoor seating but sadly super windy the day I visited. My meal + 25% tip was $96.00 read more

Fantastic experience with an amazing view at the Grand View Dining Room, which recently opened to the public after extensive renovations after COVID. As you enter the room, you are literally in front of red rocks and have a front row sat to the ever changing weather. I really loved the bar here, and Jesus and Maria show their knowledge and hospitality. I had a vieux carre made with a local rye, and the addition of a small amount of coffee liquor was brilliant. The food menu is eclectic with some international dishes but also some unexpected old time classic. I started off with the spinach florentine soup, which was the first time in decades and thankfully lighter than what I recall. The charcuterie board is extremely generous and a great starter to split. The mushroom enchilada was probably the weakest dish, while the seared scallops with risotto was perfectly executed. Definitely will come back on my next trip to COS! read more
