I really enjoyed the experience and the atmosphere. The menu has a variety of cuisines that are unique to the Penrose. The best part of the meal would have to be the Sushi for me. Didn’t really care for the Halibut or the Caesar salad. The oil was great and the way he prepared the salad in front of you was entertaining. The staff is very attentive and served with pleasure. Overall I was not impressed with the food but to each its own. Love it or hate it and for me it wasn’t worth the price.

Service and decor are outstanding. Husband had the lamb. We talked at length with the server about his dairy allergy. He was served the lamb with a yogurt topping. The kitchen made him a new one. Unfortunately I was stuck eating alone. The lamb had too much black pepper. I had the halibut. It was meh. The ceasar salad was excellent. To be fair the house comped us our wine. We would go again but stick with the burger.

Upon exiting the elevator, I got to see the smiling faces of the hosts, so eager and excited to see us. Paula was absolutely amazing, and the smiles were a breath of fresh air after a long drive. Rachel was our server and her joy brought an amazing atmosphere to our table that lingered through the meal. She helped me pick an amazing choice of Thai Cod out on their menu. She brought our drinks out quickly and efficiently. Dacota was amazing as well, always quick to refill our waters and was so happy to help us bag our meals at the end. Clair was also amazing, wowing us as she made our Caesar salad at our very table, indulging in small talk as to not make the silence awkward. The head chef was a master of their art and every bite was a masterpiece. All in all, I would recommend the Penrose room, not just for the food, but for the atmosphere where I felt like a VIP even though I was not an overnight guest.

My wife was an absolute joy and we definitely had a good time having a laugh at the dysfunction unfolding around us. The restaurant was beautiful with amazing views. however it’s all downhill from there. Don’t make me wear a formal jacket for this sub-par restaurant which has some major kinks to work out. Not worthy of the 5 Stars, location and affiliation with the Broadmoor resort, truly an over priced, disappointing experience.
1. When we checked in 10 minutes prior to our reservation, the hostess somehow deleted our reservation which was corrected after we waited 20 minutes after our reservation time and noticed other couples were being seated ahead of us.
2. The dining room was packed, loud. The staff was overwhelmed with tending the tables, working the service carts for drinks, some entrees and desserts. Whoever came up with this concept needs to rethink it, Definitely takes away from the experience and adds chaos.
3. Bread was nothing to brag about, tasteless dinner rolls. For appetizers we ordered Agnolotti en Brodo and Roasted Ruby Red Beets & Brie. The Agnolotti won this round which comprised of mini raviolis with mushrooms that was drowned in a broth with truffle oil? The Beets seemed fresh out of a can and Brie were simply that with a hearty hand full of arugula on top (who eats that much arugula?). The main courses were better however still lacking flavor that you will find at any other Broadmoor restaurant. For the main course e ordered the halibut and seafood risotto. We didn’t make it to dessert too many hands in the cart I prefer not to have fingers on my food or the ignorance to not see it happen.
4. The service was ok, our assigned server was clearly overwhelmed and we had to ask several times for service from others that were walking by.
Usually we would try again in a few months. However we will probably wait for an article announcing an overhaul. Definitely recommend La Taverne and the Summit. They are both amazing Broadmoor restaurants that won’t disappoint.

Service is very good, very attentive and friendly. Tablesside ceaser salad was delicious. Dressing made to perfection. I had the veal; it was well cooked not over done with great flavor. Wine list is extensive. We found a beautiful bottle of charisma that was wonderful.

It took 5 years but the results show it was worth it. This closed down in 2020 and never reopened post pandemic. We’ve been to the Broadmoor many years and enjoyed The Penrose Room before with its views of the sunsetting behind the mountains. It was the old country club look and feel with a dance floor where Lawrence Well and his band with a bubble machine would not have been out of place.
NOT anymore! The redesign is beautiful. Just perfect. Brought up to date for current styles, a great lounge to have drinks and appetizers and take in the view from corner windows. The bar is inviting to sit at with a friend and see the mountains through the bottles on glass shelves. Or sit at one of the coffee table style seating in front of the fire place. It’s cozy, hip, and yet has spacious areas.
The menu - commendations to the executive chef. Very tasty selection of appetizers along with sushi. Our Penrose sushi roll was one of the most flavorful I have ever had. (And we eat sushi every week).
We didn’t have any entrees but it looked really good from beef Wellington for two to Colorado lamb or seafood. Caesar salad is made table side. Again, the best tasting I have every and.
Finally, don’t miss the cart martini or old Fashioned. Ot only a fun presentation but the bartender will offer choices of every ingredient and explain the differences.
Dinner jackets are required for men (I personally like this touch) it don’t pass on going - they have jackets of all sizes to loan you.
If you aren’t sure about dinner jackets- you gotta go for at least a drink and the view at sunset.
This is THE best place to dine or sip a drink at the Broadmoor now. Hands down.
Great job Broadmoor!

The Broadmoor is in its own class, delivering an experience above 5-Stars. The staff are genuinely helpful, here to make your stay an experience you will fondly remember. Pet friendly. Original historic photos and paintings of the Western Art Collection. The restaurants are also top-notch. We tried Ristorante del Lago and Summit for dinner along with Lake Terrace Dining Room for the buffet breakfast.
Dietary restrictions: Garlic and food allergy sensitive and avoidable.
Didn't try the food, they had a great band playing Christmas songs, an excellent Santa photo op, and great venders.
Parking: Its a large out door terrasse lot.

Gentlemen, you'll definitely be more comfortable wearing a coat. Be sure to have sturgeon caviar and champagne. An experience to remember. You may feel like you've stepped into the movie The Shining.

Of the 5 Star restaurants in America (there are only 30) this is the best. For those who do not know, most states do not have a 5 star restaurant. Texas and Colorado only have one each. The food, atmosphere, menu and attention to detail are perfect. A great place to celebrate an anniversary or a special occasion. It does not get any better than this! If you are staying at the Broadmoor this is a must. You need to book reservations a month or more in advance (all 5 star restaurants have very limited seating).
