You guys... I am so bummed. I took my mom here the day before Mother's Day because I wanted to…read morecelebrate her. 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.

I've had to order from DoorDash numerous times as I have a hard time seeing at night. The first time I ordered from Elevations, I ordered the ribeye mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was delivered hot yummy and I was very impressed. The second time I ordered the same thing, through DoorDash, the steak was completely overcooked so badly so I couldn't even cut it. I had ordered it medium rare. Burnt and dried out was not my expectation. The mashed potatoes were also cold and completely dried out. The asparagus were so hard you could barely cut them. It's not cheap to order from Elevations anyway, even when in person, but I also have to pay a DoorDash fee. DoorDash did refund my money, and I also reached out to the restaurant to voice my concerns and displeasure. I decided to give them another chance, but ordered a salad and Genovese Pasta with chicken in it. Monitoring DoorDash I saw that they got there fairly quickly, so was hopeful that my food would be fresh and good. Unfortunately the pasta Genovese was dried out and cold, the chunks of chicken were cold, and the salad that I had ordered had more red onions than the lettuce itself. This would not have been a problem except I don't eat red onions and on the menu on DoorDash it's simply said "garden salad". There was nothing listed about a choice of dressing, nor was there anything listed as to what ingredients were in the salad which can be a problem if someone has allergies to anything that they place in there. Again this restaurant isn't cheap, and it was a complete letdown with a completely cold meal, and while heating pasta in a microwave might be OK, it dries out the chicken terribly. They say that the third time is a charm, and two out of three times have been awful. Very disappointed in this place. Perhaps eating in the restaurant may be better, but this meal was terrible. No I do not recommend this place.

I also found the coffee to be excellent; I could tell they take their brewing seriously, and I really appreciated the high quality of the beans. However, I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered a pastry, and I found it to be fairly mediocre, which was frustrating given that I thought it was very expensive for the quality. My overall takeaway is that I found the experience to be a bit pricey for what I actually received. While I definitely recognized the quality of the coffee, the cost of the food didn't quite line up for me.
