Worst dining experience ever. We arrived early to our reservation, and yet the staff gave away the preferred outdoor seating to people without reservations. We were sat at a lovely indoor table and literally ignored for 30 minutes, before deciding to leave. The host was shocked that we left, as if it is normal to sit half an hour without drinks or a greeting. Very uptight and uninviting environment.

Ok -- why is it I have lived here for 16 years and had NO IDEA about this amazing place?? Just wow. The servers were outstanding, their service outstanding, the food was delicious and beautifully prepared and the view and ambiance was amazing. If you've not been to this restaurant it is a MUST for your dining plans. I will be going again and plan to suggest to my ladies group that we put this one on our once-a-month dinner plans. Thank you GoG Resort and Grandview!

Stunning views and awesome service by Chloe!!! This weekday breakfast made our Colorado Springs trip memorable. Coming from Hawaii, we have breathtaking views, but if visiting Colorado Springs, this is a must-do. And even though Chloe wasn't from Hawaii, she exuded the Aloha Spirit- she was working over-time as our hostess, server and tour guide. Food was good but we came for the views and it was worth it. Amazing time at Grandview garden of the gods!

Do not eat here. Or if you do...just expect beautiful scenery and that you are paying a hefty price tag for to see a park that is otherwise free. The food was awful. It was nowhere near a 3 star restaurant or whatever it is considered. I was looking forward to taking my son here but it was a huge waste of money. The food was awful. For example, the charcuterie was literally just some meat slapped on a white plate. With pickles thrown on top. It almost seemed like the person or persons prepping the food wanted to get fired. It was that bad. Not even a board. No presentation. Nothing. We were pretty much ignored compared to other guests. We would get a quick "your meals are coming" message as the waiter whizzed by. Keep in mind it was not busy. The main dish was overcooked and the sauce was solid as it had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp. The rice was mushy. And the zucchini served with it was like two small pieces. That one meal was well over $50. Ridiculous. The wine was stale as if it had been sitting in an open bottle for months. Kinda like when you go to a dive bar and are dumb enough to order wine...stale like that. The view was beautiful but everything else sucked. It is full of pretentiousness but the quality of McDonalds.

A lovely setting for brunch. The food and service were exceptional. And, the view is incomparable.

The food was underwhelming. Steak came out over cooked. When they retired the steak they put it back on the same cold.mash potatoes and carrots. The burger was rare not well done. Crazy how bad the food timing was. The kitchen had plenty of time to get things right, but messed it up for my special birthday celebration. The table beside us was comped their while meal cause he was a member and they messed his up. They never even remotely tried to make things right. The poor server just apologized all night. A 1.5hr dinner ended up 2.40 minutes. Such poor timing and terrible meal. The kitchen should be ashamed. I was there for the award winning food.

Beautiful views for a special occasion otherwise very expensive. Also very loud with hotel groups.

We ordered the chicken. It was not moist at all, but dried out, overcooked and tasteless. The fabulous view of the Gardens however, made us overlook this!

We went for breakfast, and everything, as would be expected by a place of this caliber, was top notch.

Amazing experience, food was excellent! Service was a bit slow, but you do not mind as the views are an 11 out of 10.

This is truly the best view restaurant in Colorado Springs, and maybe the best food. Unlike the Broadmoor, GoG still allows ‘non-members/ guests' to enjoy their atmosphere, and I'm really grateful! The service is amazing : our server Londyn was wonderful, and showed up at just the right moments throughout the evening. The food is pricey, but very good. And who can complain about a view Pikes Peak, garden of the Gods and random deer walking past. Just a lovely place for a special dinner. At the table we had salmon and steak frites, all were great.

Breakfast was delicious. The atmosphere outside was amazing! Service was good but slow as others mentioned, but, we would have been fine if it was even slower. We were in no hurry and wanted to spend as much time as possible in the natural beauty.

Breathtaking view, delicious food, and very helpful service. We came for our anniversary and had a wonderful time.

Ryan

The waitstaff are always friendly, prompt, and a pleasure to converse with. Food is delicious and the bartender(s) absolutely know what they're doing. The picture perfect view from the patio is the icing on the cake.

We spend four months in the summer in Colorado Springs - We dine out often and are always on the lookout for that special place. We have found it! The setting is spectacular and the service (thank you Sam) was excellent BUT the food exceeded our expectations. Often, when the setting is so special a restaurant will lean on that - This was different - This place has it all - I can't recommend it enough. Even if you don't have time for a dinner - stop by for the bar or a snack. You won't be sorry and I promise you will return. Enjoy
