Pasta dish
Travis S.

For the most part everything was fantastic. We started with the we ordered 2 types of pasta and the branzino whole fish and 2 sides which consisted of roasted squash and carrots. We started with the wonderful bread and butter. I love a restaurant that has an assortment of breads. Then we moved onto the entrees. At this caliber of restaurant for this hotel I was surprised when our sides didn't come out with our meal. We mentioned it to our server once we saw him again and they ended up coming after everyone finished all of the entrees. Thankfully they took those sides off the bill which was the right thing to do. Overall the food was incredible and would love to go back to try more next time.

Summit, a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Restaurant, brings chic American cuisine to life with a seasonally shifting menu.

Summit, a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Restaurant, brings chic American cuisine to life with a seasonally shifting menu. We had the pleasure of dining here for dinner during our stay at The Broadmoor. Summit sources fresh, local ingredients from their very own gardens and a network of passionate farmers for an experience that's exceptional yet familiar. We were seated in the main dining room and our server Roxanne ensured we had everything we needed while we dined. Roxanne was fabulous - she built rapport with us and created a memorable dining experience. She had a deep understanding of the menu and wine knowledge to recommended pairings based on the dishes we ordered & our preferences. She embodied all the grace & professionalism of dining at a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Restaurant. The Roasted Garlic & Gruyère Cheese Soufflé was made with Tuscan Kale, Roasted Garlic, & served alongside Stone Fruit and Pueblo Chile Jam. The airy soufflé had a rich, warm flavor from the gruyère cheese and roasted garlic. The kale balanced out the richness of the cheese and garlic with its earthy flavor. All of this was delightfully contrasted but the sweet tang of the jam. The Golden Beet & Tangerine Grain Salad was made with San Luis Valley Quinoa & Ancient Grains Tabbouleh Cara-Cara Orange & Beet Gelée, & Walnut Praline. This salad's presentation was lovely. The combination of textures, from the crunchy praline to the chewy grains and the smooth gelée, added a layer of interest. The Steak Frites were topped with Chimichurri, Herb Beef Jus, & served alongside Summit Fries. The steak was well-seasoned and cooked medium-rare. The herb beef jus was rich and added depth to the steak (it was also great to dip the fries in) We wanted to pair the steak with glasses of red wine and Roxanne had stellar recommendations. I had a glass of the Obsidian Ridge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Hills Lake County, California 2021. Ross had a glass of the Château Labastide Haute, Malbec, Cahors, France 2021. The Pan Roasted Verlasso Salmon was topped with Salmon Roe, Lemon Butter Sauce & served alongside Charred Rapini, & Autumn Vegetable Gratin. This was our favorite dish of the night. The salmon was flaky, buttery, and cooked to perfection. The lemon butter sauce was indulgent & creamy - it really enhanced the flavor of the salmon. The salmon roe that was in the sauce popped in our mouths adding a brine and texture variation we loved. The vegetable gratin was a comforting, delicious side. For Dessert we had the Banana Chai Sphere made with a Dark Chocolate Dome, Cake Croutons, Caramelized Banana Vanilla Chantilly, Vanilla Ice Cream, & Chai Anglaise. This was an interactive dessert and the chai anglaise was poured over the sphere right at the table.

Filet mignon
Anthony V.

I have eaten at several of the restaurants at The Broadmoor, and this is my favorite. The service is impeccable and very professional. Every course was excellent. The filet was prepared perfectly. The bordelaise sauce kicks the flavor to another level. The potato purée was infused with garlic and butter to nicely compliment the steak. If you're a steak lover, you gotta get this. The venison was tender, flaky, moist and not gamy. The desserts were plated in a unique, cosmopolitan way, but it did not detract from their flavor. Although any restaurant at The Broadmoor will deliver an excellent meal, I am so glad I chose The Summit. Definitely top of the list for offering a bit more refined and formal dining experience.

Complimentary Anniversary Dessert
Ayana H.

We visited the Summit for date night and it was our best experience while staying at the Broadmoor. The ambience was fancy, with soft lighting. The staff were A-MAZING!!!!!! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. She was sensitive to my dietary restrictions and was very accommodating. My husband ordered the eggplant pasta and I ordered the sablefish. The sablefish was delicious and seasoned to perfection. My husband thought the pasta was pretty tasty. We told the waitress that our anniversary was coming up so she brought us a complimentary dessert. We tried all the sorbets, but the chocolate was our favorite.

Ceviche trio
Lisa R.

We had our favorite meal of the trip at Summit. Located across the street from the Broadmoor, this had an elegant ambiance. We had eaten a brunch buffet earlier in the day so even with a late dinner reservation, were not sure we could eat too much. We received salted brioche rolls and sourdough rolls with salted butter. Our amuse bouche was a half corn macaron with trout roe and scallion. I ordered a cucumber radish salad to start which had a very tasty serrano chive dressing. For some reason, my salad was served with everyone else's dinner even though I asked for it first and ordered an appetizer as my meal. Thus, everyone was pretty much done eating when we asked the server for my dinner. It was a little weird, but then it took a long time to get it, even though it was a ceviche trio (uncooked). There was a salmon tiradito, seabass ceviche, and Nikkei-style seared tuna with sesame crust. I really enjoyed my food. Eric R. ordered mussels which came with garlic crostinis. For dessert, Eric R., his sister, and his parents ordered a chocolate sphere which had hot chocolate poured over it and revealed ice cream and brownie inside. My mother-in-law was very happy with it. My sister-in-law and I shared a cheese plate dessert (how very French!) which had five kinds of cheeses, various crackers and breads, honey, and walnuts. It was scrumptious. We thought the meal was really good and wished we had more of an appetite to try entrees (though my sister-in-law and father-in-law split the pasta dish which was all green veggies and pesto and they loved it). There was a duck dish I eyed on the menu but alas, if I ever get back to Colorado Springs, maybe I can try it. I do recommend dining here and making reservations in advance!

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Just had dinner at Summit this evening. We had 5:45 PM reservations and walked in at exactly 5:45 PM. Once we were sat we waited 15 minutes before our waitress even acknowledged our presence. She did "Thank us for our patience." I decided to order all courses at once when she took our drink orders. My husband ordered bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and I ordered the honey glazed chicken breast. Though the drinks and bread were delivered timely, our entrees were delivered at 6:57 PM. The pork tenderloin was served undercooked, please see the pictures and we have plans to attend the Weekend of Jazz concert tonight. So we don't have time to wait another hour or more to get another entree. This has been a very disappointing experience.

For a $400 dollar meal, I expected the service,food, and ambience to be more high class. Things that I enjoyed: -Wagyu new york strip: A melt in your mouth cut of meat that is well worth the price tag. I was literally dreaming about this bite on my way back from Colorado springs. -Amazing selection of wine and waiters are also very patient in terms of tasting and choosing your bottle -Chocolate sphere: the presentation was very neat and the chocolate had the perfect dark to rich ratio Things that could've been improved on: -Paella: this dish was literally inedible. It was so salty which is so sad because it discredits the star of the show, the succulent scallops -Service: It was obvious that the service prioritized the white member in our party instead of treating us all equally. 2) We came five minutes early and asked to be seated as standing outside was toooo cold but they refused to let us sit down despite being almost completely empty. -Creme Brulee: Although the sugar on top was crystalized very well, the creme itself had an artificial almond taste to it.

Always great service and delicious food. Perfect date night or a place to go knowing the food won't disappoint.

Chocolate coffee mousse cake
Jeremy B.

Such a great restaurant for special occasions. Upon our first visit at the Broadmoor, we didn't realize how popular this restaurant was until we couldn't secure a same day reservation. I love the revolving wine display behind the bar. It's truly delicious . We're so thankful they decorated our chocolate coffee mousse cake to say happy 10th anniversary. I also enjoyed my trout dish that came over a bowl of grits. That dish is what I call southern comfort food.

Marshmallow macarons to take with us!
Diane E.

We had a lovely (expensive) meal here during our stay at the Broadmoor. Our waiter was fabulous and very attentive and the food was great! I had the veal chop with a spinach soufflé (which was good after I added a bit of salt) and my friend had the monkfish and lobster wrapped with bacon. Both were excellent, even though we thought that the lobster would be a bigger separate thing on the plate. The 2 seafoods are minced together and formed into a thicker "patty" with bacon rolled around it. My friend was initially searching for the lobster but said she could taste it (and see chunks of it) inside the roll. The complimentary macarons we received packaged to go after dinner were delicious! I enjoyed them more than the palate cleansing amuse bouche we were served before dinner. (But love that they served it!) It's a beautiful restaurant fit for a special occasion.

On the top floor of the Broadmoor resort, the views are fabulous. The menu was varied, and we all found what we were craving. Tableside Caesar Salad to start for all, and so worth it. Drinks were prepared with care, and oh so good. You will dip in your wallet to dine here, but it's so worth it. After dinner we went to the lounge and had champagne by the fireplace. This is an evening we will always remember! Just go here...you can thank me later!

In fact, the wall behind the bar is actually a window. Really cool. Service was outstanding- Rachel and everyone else took great care of us. Keep in mind that a 20% tip for s added to every check. This is across the resort. I started with a Speck's Sazerac. Very good and the anise cloud was a nice touch. The food let both of us down, however. We both thought the table bread was odd in both texture and taste. I had the Marinated Broadmoor Farms Tomato Salad. What an excellent concept. However, the mascarpone basically was overpowered by the wasabi. And the broccolini was chewy though flavorful. Maria had The Penrose Room Roll that she did not finish as she could taste only spice and nothing else. The chocolate mousse dessert was deliciously rich and the mango sorbet was one of the best sorbets I have had. The experience gets an A+ but the food was lacking ; C+.

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.

Giving one star for the view…read more I ordered my standard Grey Goose martini, very dry, with olives. They brought me a well martini with an orange garnish, and insisted it was Grey Goose. It was not. I've been ordering that martini for 27 years. After much discussion, the waitress agreed to bring me three olives. She did not want to take the drink back. We ordered the shrimp skewers and the corn and lobster balls. The shrimp was criminally overdone, basically seafood jerky. Neither my wife nor I could even taste the lobster in the balls, much less see any actual lobster meat in them. Lots and lots of corn, though. Very disappointing experience. The view was amazing, but for the price we paid, the service and food were substandard.

We love trying new and unusual restaurants so Owambe fell right into our category. Most of the food…read morewas excellent but there were many issues. It's a cute building, very orange outside and nicely decorated inside with comfortable chairs and good music - though bit loud but they turned it down when we asked. The servers were very friendly. The service slow or non-existent. No one greeted us when we came in nor offered us menus. We got our own menus and tableware. A couple next to us waited 40 minutes to get a menu, I brought them 2. They walked out right after we did without ordering anything. Drinks finally came about 20 minutes after we ordered them, and we had to order them twice. The Old Fashioned had maraschino cherries instead of Luxardo. The server forgot which wine was which. The hibiscus drink wasn't added to the bill so our friend paid extra in her total. Why not point it out to our server? Let's talk about the service. Two people ordered the chop plate. One was half finished before the other one came. The 'chops' were chicken wings, not pork, lamb, or goat. Everything on the plate tasted good. I ordered the egusi-soup with pounded yam. I was offered a meat with it so I opted for chicken. Beef would be my second choice. Definitely did not want goat. Guess what I got? It was so stringy; it was awful. My friend gave me some of her chicken. That was very good. The soup (like a stew) was delicious. The yam was gelatinous but went well with the egusi. The other dish ordered was greatly enjoyed. Perfect spice, more would have been too hot. She got chicken, plaintain, and yam. As I said, the service was poor at best. Long wait for drinks, long wait for the first plate of food and then an even longer wait for the other 3 plates of food. We asked for takeout containers 3 times before they were finally delivered. We asked for the bill twice and still had to wait until it was delivered. There was one other group of diners when we arrived, it should not have taken an extra hour in service time. The food was so good I would love to go back, but I may need to bring a deck of cards to have something to do while I wait.

We went here for my mom's birthday and it was a huge FAIL! Everything was over price and not worth…read moreit. The waiter no matter how friendly we tried to be, he did not seem to be happy. We were the only customers there and I see why. The food presentation was nice but the Jollof rice was dry and tasted old. The chicken was very dry as well. My husband got the fish which was fried but also tasted old. We ordered Egusi with fufu for $20, the picture looked like it would be a shareable bowl but when it came out it was a tiny bowl. False advertisement at its best. A bottle of corona was $8! Our total bill was extreme and they don't even provide itemize receipts which made me feel uneasy. I really wanted to try this spot out and support them but we will NEVER be back.
