An excellent steakhouse in Colorado Springs. "Old school" ambiance with leatherette banquettes…read morealong the sides. Outstanding shrimp cocktail. Plenty of horseradish but I especially like the chopped celery. My New York strip was tasty and cooked exactly to the temperature I ordered. The "European" flight wine paring was perfect. Service was great. Evan was polite and attentive despite doing double duty as bartender and server. However, for reasons unclear to me but a very common experience, it was a very long wait between the time I received the dessert menu and the time someone took my order. This happens too frequently, once the entree is delivered the server forgets the table. When it finally arrived, the fresh berries and cream dessert was disappointing. It seemed like the berries had been frozen rather than fresh. When I observed this, a server said it was because they were macerated in alcohol over night. I ate only about 1/3 and thought it should have been removed from the check after I complained, but it was not. Otherwise, an excellent experience but not as good as it should have been.

Meh. This place used to really do it for me, but the last few times we've been in there have been…read moresome pretty drastic fumbles. We always sit at the bar and these are the few annoying things that happened the last few times we came. -we didn't get silverware until 5 minutes passed after our steak was delivered. -the owner was arm wrestling one of his friends, around 7pm, a full restaurant trying to enjoy their dinner, turning this into a frat house/sports bar with yelling and carrying on. This actually shocked me snd was the final nail in the coffin for me. -ordering a dirty martini and it actually having cinnamon liquor in it. Lol. The bartender didn't set up his own bar and blamed it on the staff from earlier in the evening. No biggie, but this bartender seems to fumble a LOT. Just own it Bro, we've been served by you many nights, and you aren't our favorite for a reason. We've been going to Cowboy Star for the bar service. Just a step above. It's a bummer, we used to LOVE this place.

Lovely spot for an upscale dining experience on the north end....nice to not have to drive downtown…read morefor a decent dinner! Started with the seafood tower and a tasty mocktail. Came in with a group and we all ordered just about every side they offer and just about every steak they have. I ordered mine with the cognac pepper sauce which was a delicious finishing touch and my favorite of the sides were the Szechuan cauliflower and the truffle Mac. We ended the evening with the hazelnut mouse cake and it was divine! Service was consistent and courteous throughout.

Decided to come here for a birthday dinner after hearing so many great reviews. We had a…read morereservation for a party of 7 and were initially seated at a table for 6, but after asking the host, they did move us, which we appreciated. Drink orders were taken right away, and everyone received their drinks except my fiancé. He eventually just ordered a different drink instead. We placed our food order around 7:15, but the appetizers came out one by one instead of together, which already set the tone for the night. Our main courses didn't arrive until around 9:00 PM, almost two hours later. On top of that, two of our dishes were completely forgotten and had to be re-rung and brought out even later. We didn't plan on spending over two hours at dinner, but at that point we didn't have much of a choice. The food itself was actually very good, but not for the price. For a party of 7 where everyone only had one drink, our bill came out to over $1,450, nearly $210 per person. At that price point, there really isn't room for this many mistakes. It was also very obvious that the restaurant was understaffed. One woman was running the entire top floor by herself, taking orders and making drinks. That's not fair to the staff or the guests. Overall, the potential is there, but the service and staffing need major improvement, especially for such an expensive dining experience.

I would love to shout out our waitress, however, I don't know her name.

She was really sweet on taking our orders, and checking in on us. For drinks my day got an old old-fashioned, which I ended up trying- and it was pretty good. I personally got the Cosmo and it was decent. I'm generally more of a gin and tonic, but it was still delicious. For food, we got the fried mac & cheese, balls, and crab stuffed mushrooms. Both had such a great flavor. And I think our favorite was dipping the bread from the crab, stuffed mushrooms in the garlic mixture at the. For entrée, my date got the halibut. And honestly, the sauce was amazing. For my lobster rolls they were both very fresh and delicious. But honestly, I could not eat both. Overall, this was such a great place for our first date, and I would honestly be back for more of the food and the best service. The only knock a star was truly for price point. It's definitely on the price your side even going at lunchtime.

We highly recommend Bonny and Read in downtown Colorado Springs for a wonderful dining experience.

Stopped by here and was able to grab a table in the lounge for their happy hour. Unfortunately,…read moretheir menu is very limited. All the happy hour food items either had meat or cheese, no sea food options. They do have many drink options so that's a star. Service sucked. I asked our waitress what she recommended because I don't eat meat. She suggested the scallops with their risotto so I ordered that. Waited 20 minutes and they brought the dish out which had bacon pieces all over it. Had to take it back to remake it. Our waitress said she was so sorry, she forgot I asked with no meat. She didn't come back much after that. Even when we asked for the check, she literally passed by our table multiple times, I finally had to catch another waiter passing by to give him the check and of course she brought it back and said she was sorry about tonight. She clearly knew she messed up but didn't even make it better. She made our first time experience there worse.

We were last there for New Year's Eve 2026, and two weeks ago. I read the reviews and I think they're ridiculous because we have never had anything come out of the kitchen as they described and if it was that way, we would've sent it back! They have always been accommodating. I also read the review about the seating. If you thought it was going to be too small for your party, you should've asked for a bigger table. They have booths in the bar section that are almost always available. We have sat in every room, including the private dining rooms. We have never had an issue of not having enough room. And I've gone there with my family of five as well as with friends of two or three in my party.

The thai chili salmon plate was bright and fresh, with a nice balance of glaze, greens, and noodles. Overall, higher quality for lower price. We will be returning. Cocktails were just as thoughtful as the food -- vibrant, fruity, sweet, and beautifully presented. If you come here, order the Seoul Bowl.
