    This place had some cool vibes and a decent menu. The truffle fries were tasty and had plenty of garlic/parmesan. I did appreciate this place having a dinner portion of a soup and salad that wasn't ridiculous in price. I opted for a Caesar and that day, a cheddar broccoli soup. We ended with a chocolate layer cake. The service was good and our overall experience here was pleasant. The food was fine for what it was, but was quite expensive. The ambiance was enjoyable, but there wasn't anything that was phone home worthy.

    The scene, the environment, the food.. all above standard. I went to have dinner wih a friend and was super impressed with Renee and her service. She stayed on top of it the whole night we were there. For drinks we tried the fall foliage, presentation was beautiful and the drink itself was delicious! Everything blended so well together. For dinner I had the braised bison, parsnip puree and sage buttered roasted carrots! I have never had parsnip before and was sure glad my first time was with Lumen8! Wiped my plate clean! To end our night we had an espresso martini per Renee's recommendation, so glad we agreed, we would've missed out on a perfect nightcap. Will definitely be going back to try something different on the menu and hopefully get Renee again.

    Work dinner with a group of 8. Server was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The views are epic, while the seating was a bit tight. Sadly the food was not great. Six of us had the bison short rib and the presentation was excellent. The food was cold and the carrots uncooked. Wish it was better.

    Lumen8 Rooftop Social is located on the 8th floor of the Element Hotel that is shared with Springhill Suites in Colorado Springs. I stayed at the Element Hotel on 2 separate business trips and got to check out Lumen8 during my stay. I came during the Fall for my first trip and the weather was perfect. The views from the rooftop during the evening was beautiful and I can only imagine how much more beautiful it is to see the backdrop of the mountains. My colleague and I had drinks in Lumen8's patio and they really made the cocktail strong. I believe the one I had was called Lumen8 Spritz. During my second trip, I came back up to have a light dinner inside their dining area since it was a cold 24°F winter. I ordered a Lumen8 Caesar and added Grilled Chicken, and had a Rosé to start. To end the meal, I asked if they would jazz up my scoop of vanilla ice cream with raspberry coulis and they made it happen. Of course, it was an extra charge but I absolutely loved that they accommodated my request - it was perfect IMO! Each visit, the service I received during my experience here was great. They really went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience. Overall, this was a great spot to enjoy some drinks, the city views, and a delicious dinner with great service!

    Lemon8 Rooftop Social has amazing views, especially at sunset. You can see the whole mountain range, and it really makes the experience stand out. We had a few drinks and they were good--well made and enjoyable, even if not over-the-top unique. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. It has a relaxed, elevated vibe that's perfect for a date night or even a casual evening out. Overall, it's worth visiting for the views and the setting alone. Sunset here is something you don't want to miss.

    Probably the beat view in Colorado Springs! We came once on a rainy day and were able to see several rainbows over the city. Service was efficient and friendly. Plates had a nice presentation and there was a nice selection of plates for all kinds of eaters. This is nice for a date night, a night out with friends or even a drink at the bar alone. Pro tip- if you stay at the hotel, be sure to take advantage of the happy hour. The free wine and app is totally worth it!

    Delicious! Would highly recommend. Hunter, our server, was very nice - he didn't want to substitute w for brussel sprouts but we worked that out. The ambiance is semi-upscale and comfortable, and again the food is delicious. The music is on a good volume, and the overall atmosphere was positive. I'm visiting and will always remember my experience.

    Chicken. Fish and chips.

    Nice atmosphere, high above the city so there are opportunities for great views. Service was attentive but not too. They have an early happy hour (3-5) so we got in on the tail end of it. Cocktails were delish! Had the hot wings, which were juicy and not overdone, and the hummus. Oooo-ee. Lots of garlic but I love garlic! Had the chicken and fish and chips for dinner. Chicken was a bit dry, my only complaint. The fish and chips, however, were epic! I'd get that again. Splurged on dessert, a hot cookie in a steaming hot little pan with ice cream. Very satisfying!

    We stopped into Lumen8 on our first night stay at our hotel. They have a free happy hour for guests Monday-Thursday from 4-630. It includes a small cheese tray and a drink. We had no problem being seated at the bar at 5pm on a Thursday. The ambiance is fantastic. I loved all the hanging plants. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back and check out other items on the menu. Their patio/roof also looks amazing to be experienced in warmer months.

    Smash burger.

    Food was not good. Burger was dry and pre made frozen patties. No options for food allergies. I will let pic speak for itself.

    The mountains and my delicious Chicken Piccata.
    Sebree B.

    My fiancé took me here as a surprise for my birthday. The hostess Crystal was friendly. We sat in the balcony area which looked over the mountains it was beautiful. We missed the sunset but the glowing was still radiating. The food was amazing we had the Ahi Poke, Fish and chips, Chicken Piccata and a scoop of Dragonfruit Sorbet. Will definitely come back and bring our visiting family.

    See all

    This place is so unique and beautiful to dine at. Perfect for a date for a couple that is visiting…read moreColorado Springs. It is an underground restaurant that is dimly lit with Alice in the Wonderland themed decor, food, and drinks. The service was phenomenal. I forget the name of our server, but she was so kind and very helpful. The portions are massive and will definitely get you full, yet delicious as well. Worth the experience I recommend coming here.

    Really enjoyed the whole experience of this place (while visiting in August). Just walking down…read morethe stairs into the restaurant, i.e., "Rabbit Hole" set and increased my anticipation. What a fun idea! The ambiance is kind of both chill and yet lively depending on where you're sitting (bar or restaurant). The Alice-in-Wonderland decor, dim lighting and funky eye-opening paintings made it super fun. Our server was very attentive and our meal delicious. The goat cheese balls were a nice appetizer as was the herb crusted baked salmon and the chicken cordon bleu. I wouldn't sleep on their iteration of a "moon pie" either. It is an absolute MUST have! What is beyond WILD and now a bit hilarious is that I was so busy soaking it all in visually that I somehow missed the part about the building being a former morgue. I didn't learn that little fact until half way through my meal. Maybe that explains why none of my photos came out, or why they all came out looking crazy blurred :-/ All of those lost souls still roaming around there? What a concept! Definitely give it a try t if you're in the area.
