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.

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. But she was the perfect balance of attentiveness and understanding that we were probably on a first date with how much we kept talking. 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.

Amazing food. Very attentive staff. Loved the fried goat cheese salad and the steak was excellent!…read more The seating is a bit tight for my taste. That's the only thing they can improve on. The 2 seater tables feel super close to each other. Please separate the tables more. I'll still give them 5 stars for how amazing the food was.

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.

It's located just outside of downtown, my brother told me that, in a humble looking building tucked behind a row of tall trees that blocks the sunlight from beaming inside. Upon entrance, it's a WTHeck, very nice inside. We are glad to have picked Carlos. The reviews are on point. Mr. Carlos greeted us by name and got thing started. Elizabeth took care of everyone as both attended to the guest. Great service. The menu is not over bearing and we eye-balled other guests plates. We decided on deep fried scallops and the catch of the day, sea bass which both exceeded par. After being hesitant about the sea bass, ask for extra seasoning. Man, it really didn't need it as it was booming with lemon sauce, capers, and more flavors. This is easily a place to return to if in town again.

I was surprisingly satisfied given this place is in a strip mall. We left happy and full!

Never had them as appetizers before- they were good enough to order alone!

Excellent mocktails ! I especially enjoyed lavendertini. So tasty …read more Calamari fish was good. French onion soup had really good base . Very tasty.

Definitely worth checking out. It's a classy restaurant.

Eh, it is alright. It is designed like what some Minnesotan would think of as a "fancy basement."…read moreIt has pretty dated décor, and the prices don't match the expectations. Honestly, expect a wait time, even if you have a reservation. They will not seat you until exactly your reservation time, even if there are a lot of open tables in the back, because of the "volume of patrons." I understand not wanting to overwhelm the staff, but there were a lot of open tables and not one or two, but three people folding napkins. Sooooo... sure. Then, after that, expect to wait for your food. It took over 30 minutes for three appetizers to appear and then another 30 minutes for the entrées. I put 2 hours and 12 minutes on the meter and came back with only 12 minutes left. It was a Friday night, but 2 hours? The food was barely above diner food. It was prepared well, but the flavor profile wasn't particularly developed for the cost. Overall, it tasted okay, but if you can make a good steak, just save yourself the time and money and have it at home.

Once mixed together, the yolk coats everything into a delicious fresh dense bowl that's deeply satisfying without feeling too heavy. The crispy calamari was a great, light, crunchy meal. The octupus pieces were thick and paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The breading wasn't distracting but rather adding to the flavor. 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. It's comforting, flavorful, and easily the standout dish on the table
