The dim sum and tea were really good . The only downside is parking; you have to park on the street. Other than that, everything is fine."

Meh. For the money, not really worth it. Was here for the first time for their Christmas brunch, and for the money not really worth it. Pros: *the setting is lovely with wall-to-wall windows offering views of the So Colorado Springs front range * service was on top of things and did a great job * nice made to order egg station and eggs Benedict option Cons: * buffet offerings in general were disappointing for what we paid * the layout felt more like a Country Buffet and not something festive and special *dessert options were too few Don't think we'll be back for the holiday brunch, but I am thankful to those who chose to work on Christmas day, providing an activity option to those of us who are alone read more

Always excellent food and impeccable service! At least four star s or more in quality and taste. You will be impressed!

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because nothing spectacular happened. Upon pulling into the parking lot, new to the area and visiting on recommendation, I asked for the lobby by a staff member and was giving polite but clear directions. We were seated promptly, friendly. Off and browsing through the buffet selection, everything fresh and tasty. Albeit an American style breakfast, meats and eggs, pancakes and fruit, there's something for everyone. It was a clear day, a wonderful view. Service was brief, but we required little. Will definitely return when there's snow to view. read more

If I had only eaten the pumpkin pancakes I'd have given it 4 stars. Friendly service in a rustic atmosphere. Eggs were good, ham was tough, bacon was ok, iced tea was weak. read more

Mountain View Restaurant - Pumpkin pancakes - American Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Not elegant, but certainly has good food. The interior of the facility is a little rough, but it does have ramps for the handicapped, but no one with a wheelchair or scooter is really going to be able to even get in the building. It's right by the road, so the outdoor seating has noise issues. The food and service are why this establishment get 5 stars. read more

We came here for their Easter Brunch this year. So good. Today we came for their Thanksgiving Brunch. Also very good. Great food, friendly, helpful staff. Only con would be the cost - about $60 pp. but no cooking or cleanup at home :) We enjoy coming here and will likely return. Note: 18% service charge is added for holiday brunches. Well worth it. read more

I used to visit this restaurant when they served brunch on Sundays and it seemed really good to me and even though they no longer serve brunch, it is still a good place to have breakfast at a really affordable price, very good service and a pretty good place with a super view. read more

Well for a hotel that you pay $300 a night for I expect a lot more. When we were seated the first thing we noticed was a huge rip in a chair at our table. We were looking to order dessert and some coffee the perfect ending to our day. I ordered creme brûlée and my friend ordered cheesecake. After about 15 minutes the waiter comes back to tell me that they have not creme brûlée. He continues to explain the he failed to read the outs board and he was unaware. I did not order dessert but when my friends arrived it had 2 slices of cheesecake. Both slices were warm like they has sat in a warmer window too long. Over all the impression of the restaurant was not great. read more

I have no idea, how this got any Good reviews as far as food. Buffet, meat was warm, and everything else was cold, eggs were dry and nasty, French toast worst I have ever eaten. Potatoes were so cold I couldn't even eat it. Coffees disgusting no matter how much sugar or cream I put in it. Water come dirty. Who ever makes the omelet didn't make it well. There were two servers one seem to do her job well. The other seem to be irritable if you ask her for anything. I came here because of the reviews, only thing I like is the view. We were going to pay, however they literally saw our table and told us because we were dissatisfied we didn't have to pay. We were grateful for that. But quality of food big NO for me. read more

Mountain View Restaurant - Looks good but is cold. - American Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

This is not a restaurant in a resort. It is a nursery. PROs: *the breakfast buffet is phenomenal. 5 stars on its own. The pastries are delectable, the omelet bar is great and their bacon is crispy and good. *the staff is wonderful and nice * the views are unbeatable. Worth the exposure to the bees CONs: *there is nothing more soothing than the screams of unruly toddlers while you're trying to eat *there are many bees outside this time of year (not the establishments' fault) which sucks The servers should get two paychecks for also acting as babysitters, since parents coming here don't bother to keep their kids in check. read more

Our friends had been here before and loved it so invited us along, we were so worried after reading Yelp reviews but trip advisor was much more positive, so we went with the flow and was pleasantly surprised. We booked a table for 11am on Sunday, didn't need to because there was plenty of tables but it soon started filling up. It's $45 plus tax, all you can eat buffet and all you can drink mimosas. The service, the food, it was all great. Not to mention the amazing view. There was so much food to choose from and the staff quick to refill the mimosas especially when it was quieter. Also quick with the coffee. Cute little honey pot that comes with the tea. We had - not necessarily in this order - prawns/shrimp, clams, prime rib, chicken, salmon, trout, risotto, vegetables, waffles, omelette, cheeses, salads, soup, ice cream, granola, fruit, blinces (never had before, it was like a cheesecake wrapped in a crepe!! Must have with the strawberry sauce) the waffles and omelettes are made to order, prime rib is cut to size as you ask for it. There was so much food, it was so tasty and fresh and they were very quick to refill it all. It's 6.30pm and I still don't feel like dinner. read more

Oh man... sorry to write this. We came as a bachelorette party and never in my 29 years of life have I seen such poor service. We were there (like i mentioned) for a bachelorette party therefore drinks are a must... but were never offered an additonal drink besides the first one. Me and my friend had to ask THREE times for our app of fries!!! We were told they were short-staffed (restaurant was 2/3 full) and the kitchen was backed up. It took almost 30 minutes for them to clear our plates after a TWO HOUR dinner with one entree each, one drink, and a few shared apps. Oh man. We were getting frustrated! Lo and behold... tip was automatically included and it alllll made sense why our waitress didnt care. The added bonus was seeing them talking about us with another waiter and glaring at us :( Positives: They DID comp the super-late fries,, and after my friend talked to the manager they comped us breakfast for a later date. They did try to make it right but the entire dinner was horrible... Again im sorry! read more

The food here is great. Have had both breakfast and dinner here. The staff is awesome. And the views are incredible. read more

During our stay at the Cheyenne Mountain resort for a business retreat we ate in the MVR for several breakfasts and a couple of dinners. Breakfast was buffet style and was very good. They had an omelette station and the chef was turning out large omelette a with fresh ingredients and he also did waffles, not sure about pancakes. There were also lots of bacon and sausages as well as home fries and plenty of muffins, pastries and a full yogurt and fruit section. Not sure how much this costs but it was very well done. We also did dinner buffet style and these were good. The veggie lasagna was memorable and everything else was pretty good. The staff were very nice and professional. The buffet was kept well stocked and things were kept neat and clean. read more

We came here after a long day, hungry and needing a drink. Judging by the looks and the fact that it was the main restaurant at the pricey resort we were staying at, we expected something decent. Where to start... the woman at the front asked if we had a reservation. We didn't, but the restaurant was empty. She informed us, with an attitude and after a long unnecessary explanation, that it'd be a 15 minute wait. Totally fine. 40 minutes later she called our name. We were sat by the large windows with a fantastic view. This was the only good part of the whole meal. Our waitress informed me my beer was coming soon when she dropped off my wife's wine - she had to run over to Elevations to get it. She didn't return until our food was served. I informed her I didn't get my beer and she apologized and said she'd have it right out and it'd be no charge. The food was not good, especially for the price. Perhaps the lighting was so dark you couldn't see your food for a reason. My wife's chicken was underdone. My salmon was just ok. Our waitress never returned after we asked for a side of ranch for our kid's chicken tenders. When a different waitress dropped off our check, my beer was still on it and we had to remind her to take it off. Pretty disappointing overall. I'd look elsewhere. read more

The food was unexpectedly good. We came with a large group and our waiter accommodated everyone with pleasure. The view is definitely the best part of the restaurant, but the food was worth it too. I'll definitely come back with my family because kids under 6 eat free! That in itself is worth a few stars lol. Definitely recommend read more

You ever wake up and think, "I would just love a mediocre meal"? Well if you have, this is the place for you! The service was fine, the drinks were fine, the food was so absolutely meh. The chips on the nachos were stale - but the cheese sauce was great. The fries were cold. The bun on the burger was stale but the burger patty was nice. The brightest spot of the meal was the meatball appetizer. Pro tip - get the sauces on the side and make a pink sauce out of the marinara and the Alfredo sauce. Overall, I was underwhelmed and I wouldn't be particularly thrilled to return. read more

Beautiful place for breakfast while staying at the resort. Great service. Made to order omelette and nice options like oatmeal, French toast, and a variety of breakfast meats. Spacious and quiet seating with floor to ceiling views of the mountains. read more

This place has a great view and different dining options. You can do the buffet or you can order off the menu. The dining area is huge and you can eat on the outdoor patio to get the most of the view offered. I was here last year to eat with my soon to be finance and we both loved it. I would love to go back and eat on the patio. read more

We were there for buffet breakfast. I thought that a fancy place as the Cheyenne Mountain Resort would have a much better breakfast, not the case! The eggs were not made from real eggs, but rather powder eggs or some pre- mixed carton eggs, no flavor at all. The bacon and sausage were excellent. The event said "gluten free" options, so I thought they would have gf pastries, pancakes, or even French toast, not the case either. I would rather have gone to Ihop, it's much better. read more

Excellent experience that included made to order fluffy waffles, savory omelettes, and delicious bennies. So so so many options like prime rib, smoked salmon and lobster mac and cheese. The brunch line up was just to die for. The view was just so pleasant and peaceful. All the staff was nice and our server never let our drinks empty. Such a fantastic experience- loved it. read more

We came here because we saw the gorgeous view of the mountains on Yelp. That is the only good thing about this restaurant. Our dinner started off with a 15 minute wait for two cocktails that we ordered. Then, I got the elk bolognese, which tasted like "sloppy joe", according to my date. There was a puddle of what I assumed was pasta water at the bottom of my pasta. My date got the mushroom ravioli and the spinach on top tasted so bitter, she couldn't eat it anymore. I've never not finished my entree before, but today I left three quarters of my food. We decided to take another chance on dessert and order the Apple pie. Big mistake. The apple pie was not even warm and tasted like mush. We've had such a good time here in Colorado Springs, and this was the worst way to end our trip. Spend $120 somewhere else. read more

Way overpriced breakfast buffet ($18) comparable to the continental breakfast served at holiday inn or something. Someone made waffles and omelettes as you order them... waffles bland. Nothing wow about them. Omelettes... I feel like I could've went to ihop for the same thing. Bagels were as commercial as any store bought bagel. Coffee is warm. I asked for a fresh cup and even that came out warm. Their coffee is subpar, nothing to wow about either. Would not come back. Didn't leave this place satisfied or full. read more

Went for Sunday brunch with my fiancée and some friends. The food is delicious! The staff was very attentive and helpful. Made reservations but didn't seem to need them as it didn't fill up. The view is great and I'd definitely go back. read more

Really disappointed in the Mountain View. We made reservations for Saturday night (15 Dec). Apparently, they're only doing a buffet on weekend nights during one of the busiest times of the year -- no menu was available. The buffet was serviceable enough. Not great; not bad either. Fortunately, all of the staff was wonderful. Two things really ticked me off about this night: 1. They mixed in regular diners with a Lockheed Martin Christmas party. Really super awkward. There wasn't another room available or a section of the dining area which could have been reserved??? 2. The bill for the buffet and two drinks was over $150?! Which is ridiculous considering half of the buffet is just really simple dishes made to look fancy. Moreover, the preparation wasn't that great. There was a gnocchi dish for example which was dripping in cream sauce the consistency of paper machie. The only reason it moved at all was the sauce broke and the butter was separating from the cream. So... nice service. Thank-you for that. But Applebee's food at Broadmoor prices in a really uncomfortable setting. read more

Spending the weekend here to get away from the hustle & bustle of Denver. Since it was roughly after 7 pm & didnt feel like driving around the Springs area the Mountain view Restaurant was convenient. The restaurant had an ala carte menu & also a buffet for $45/per person. The buffet selection was ok. Only on Friday nights do they have seafood & prime rib. They amount of food & the selection...i can see paying $25 to $28 a person not $45. The service last night was not good at all. Dinner service was not busy & the waiter appeared to be either new or high. It took roughly 20 minutes to get our drinks & my partner received the wrong soup. It was just mistake after mistake. A nice waitress came by (Cori) and we ask that she be our waitress for the remainder of the night as she corrected and apologized for the errors & even took off some items for us. This morning we had their breakfast buffet at $18/per person. This buffet consists of an omelet & waffles station. Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, hash browns, fruit, oatmeal, bakery goods. Would have liked to see lox & bagels but all they had was bagels and cream cheese. The price wasnt too bad. The views are nice..it snowed this weekend but still a great view of Cheyenne Mountain. Not sure that we will be eating here for the rest of our stay. We will see. If we do, they need to step up their service. Thats all. read more

Don't stay here. Overpriced, couldn't use all amenities because there was a "function" here while we were yet they still charged me full price. Couldn't tell ya about the restaurant because they wouldn't let us use it. read more

You come here for the view, clearly. This place does not have any competition, so you get what you get. We had a very large party (16+) and the consensus was the same from the entire group....it was ok. A few things that will help you forget that the food is subpar and overpriced.... 1. Google "sunset times for Colorado Springs" & make reservations that will lend to a sunset view 2. request a table that does not FACE the sunsetting windows (I couldn't see the people sitting across from me for at least 20 minutes while the beautiful sun was glaring in my face) 3. Consume alcoholic beverages 4. Bring a jacket because any restaurant with these views is going to be cold when you're snapping your selfie at the top of the mountain read more

We enjoyed our time there at Christmas and Valentines dinner buffet. The price range is $45 -$60 per person not including tax and gratuity. I think it's good for the price for us. We spend pretty much the same at the red lobster and we are a big seafood fan. So, it's worth for us. Seafood were fresh, smoked salmon was yummy with the capers, fresh tomatoes and the onion, my favorite . Meats were fresh, warm, juicy and tasty. Salads, desserts, and the complimentary champagne or wine also included so, no complaints here. There might have some little things but hey, nobody can't make you completely satisfied all the time but the view, environment, the food, and the price was all make your time enjoyable. You can't deny it's one of the best in town! read more

Had a conference here and breakfast and lunch were included. The breakfasts were not good at all. Extremely bland and tasted more like Denny's than a $20 buffet. On the flip side the lunches were stellar. Much to choose from and the food was top quality and prepared perfectly. Lunch 4.5 star breakfast 0 stars read more

The windows here were pretty neat, but not really as great a view as the name would imply. It wasn't busy when we went, but service was super slow. I ordered the steak and frites, and while the steak was seasoned really well and the fries were delicious, the steak was overdone a bit. I ordered medium, and it was well. My husband really liked his quesadilla, however. Ultimately, the food tasted really good, but the service was just lacking. read more

So sorry, but today's Thanksgiving experience was less than satisfactory. Debby the hostess worked very hard but the rest of the team let her down. 1) the table we booked for 12 in the main dining room was being delayed by the previous guests. Debby worked very hard to seat our group of 11 in a satisfactory alternative still giving us a view of the beautiful scenery. That is where the good serviced ended. You must realize that this was a $60/person buffet meal. 2) Our waitress could hardly bother to wait on us. Buffet plates didn't get cleared unless we piled them up at the end of the table. 3)Drinks were not refilled until we flagged her down. Water glasses remained unfilled, refresh of the mimosa glasses and most importantly my very small soda glass. When I say flag down, I mean stand up walk over to the waitress group gathered at the cash register and ASK for a refill. You must understand that with a large group such as ours the tip gets automatically added onto the bill. I would of given this young woman a zero tip, because she barely did the bare minimum taking care of us. It would of been different if I saw her running off her feet taking care of several tables but that just was not the case. 4) Then comes the meal presentation, remember my family and i have had many lovely thanksgiving meals there previously. There were none of the beautiful fruit carvings decorating the buffets. While many different options were provided there was NOT a turkey carving station, which I think is kinda of important at a thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was cut and stacked in a roaster with a Spoon as a serving utensil. Who spoons out their turkey? The green bean vegetable was raw, cut green beans with a cold mushroom soup, yuck. The dressing was dry, the gravy cold. The cheese and meats were at one setup, but crackers to go with it were at another station. It seems like there was no executive chef there to give the staff directions, or make the really fancy touches that make this a very special meal. 5) There was a grand player piano in the lobby which was lovely, but about 1/2 way thru our meal someone cranked up the volume making easy conversation more difficult. I am sure there were many folks who individually worked on preparing this meal and they did a good job. I might not of written or complained quite so much if my waitress had just given quality service, the first to clear our dirty plates and the second to keep our glasses filled. After all it was a buffet what else did she have to do? Just goes to show teamwork through out is what makes a good experience. Cheyenne Mtn Management needs to tighten the reins and follow up with their team. Regards, CStill read more

Went for Sunday Brunch. The hostess was busy cleaning off children's chairs while she made sure we knew how much the brunch cost...as if we couldn't afford it. It was a lil pricey for brunch but they had bottomless mimosas! A supervisor noticed us waiting & came & seated us. The mountain view was spectacular! Loved that they make fresh waffles & eggs to order. Overall the food & service were OK. If you want an expensive brunch with mediocre food and a great view of the mountains; this place is for you. read more

The Eggdrop soup was good, but that was all that was good about this restaurant. I ordered the chicken Cobb salad. It came with no chicken. It took so long for the waiter to bring the chicken out I was just about through eating. The waiter asked if I wanted him to "just throw it on the salad ". The salad was pretty average, nothing special. My husband's ribeye steak was totally inedible. It was all gristle and fat. They did take it off of the check but my husband went without dinner. The men he played golf with the next day were members of country club & have dining privileges at this restaurant. They told him they never eat there because of their bad experiences. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant. I will say that the servers were great, but we waited over an hour to get our food and all we ordered was salads and hamburgers. Kids were supposed to eat free with a paying adult when you were staying at the resort, but since they didn't have their buffet open they wouldn't honor that. read more

I enjoy a weekday lunch at Mountain View within the Cheyenne Mountain Resort with the girls, but my husband and I did not like the 2016 Christmas buffet. Lunch is a great time to visit and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. The food and service are also excellent. However, we were really disappointed in Christmas dinner. It's a buffet as well, with somewhat limited options, and most of the food was disappointing. The decor is beautiful and very well decorated for the season, but it just lacks a festive atmosphere. We felt all dressed up and nowhere to go after a quick meal and a few photos. read more
