Thank you Holly for taking care of us!…read more I have been to Ryze a few times now and enjoy spending time here. You can't beat the views and the food and drinks are great. When you first review the menu, it will seem like most of it is smaller portions or small bites but I've never left here hungry. From my most recent visit, I had the adobo chicken, it came on 3 drumsticks. I was hesitant to order it because drum sticks can be messy and I had on a lighter color outfit. Happy to say the chicken easily came off the bone with a fork and was tasty. Be sure to book a reservation because it can get busy!

My wife and I came here just for no particular reason other than we wanted to try it. I had no…read moreexpectations, but even if I had they would've been exceeded. First, walking in, it feels upscale. Not to the point of being uncomfortable, but everyone there was dressed nicely, particularly for Colorado Springs. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are relatively small, which explains why you basically need a reservation if you want to spend some time there. Our server was very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. He explained some of the food and drink options for us and we took our pick. Overall the food was quite good. The burger was exceptional, and cooked perfectly. The crudité is tasty, but nothing all that special. The adobo chicken is good, but not adobo at all. The drinks though... For my first drink I opted for an Old Fashioned. It's become my go-to drink for higher end restaurants and lounges... and Ryze knocked it out of the park. After I finished my drink, about midway through my meal, I was craving something a bit different and ordered a Ryze from the Ashes. Holy. Friggin'. Moly. Different indeed. I've never tasted anything like it, and so I don't really know how to explain it, but "from the ashes" is very appropriate. It has a strong smoky flavor to it which, I'm willing to bet, would pair nicely with a cigar. It also paired nicely with the burger and fries that I had, thankfully. If you're driving north on Cascade there's parking just before the building, so you can dip right in there and then just walk in, get your card from the front desk guy, and be on your way.

The General Cho's chicken, bulgogi wraps, bulgogi fries, fried cheesecake, and ramen are always great. It's also an amazing place to hear live music, and we've enjoyed the patio for happy hour. The best part, though, is that the owners and staff seem genuinely happy to be there. The service is awesome. Peter is always smiling and ready to do a soju shot with us. Addy and the gals are also very sweet and hardworking. We will continue to be regulars there. Our only warning is to make a reservation several days in advance. If you wait until the day of, you probably won't get a table.

We ordered the Mango Cooler and the Daisy Dukes, and both were really good. It was pretty packed when we went, so we ended up sitting at the bar.

Food was delicious but large portions. Great if you are super hungry but for two girl friends we had a lot of extras. We ordered the: Garlic Truffle Fries Brussel Sprouts Artisan Bread Whiskey Sticky Ribs Bison Short Ribs Delicious but the ribs and fries were definitely my favorites... brussels sprouts were a close second.

If you're sitting at the bar you can see the window where your food comes up -- our salad and fries both sat there about ten minutes before anyone brought them the ten feet over to us. Not a huge deal, but it's a little cruddy sitting there thinking "I'm pretty sure that's ours" and waiting. The ambiance is very dark, with a lot of stairs up and down -- you head into sort of a basement-type area. Everything I saw was clean and nice. It's a cool, funky spot to take a date or hit for happy hour, so the vibe and ambiance are definitely spot on for that. Signature cocktails -- all fine. Not the best thing ever, but solid. I'd have them again. Side salad -- good. The ranch is made in house and very flavorful, and the salad was actually loaded with veggies. French fries with garlic aioli -- a bit of a letdown. We didn't even finish them. They came out okay, just a little dry, and the aioli itself wasn't very good -- we didn't really like it. Pro tip: The entrées looked pricey, which is why we stuck to snacking at the bar -- and after the fries came out, we were fine calling it there and eating elsewhere. Overall, would recommend for happy hour, and would return.
