I can't believe we have never eaten here before. Not only was the view probably the best outdoor dining view and all of Colorado Springs but the food definitely matched. Outstanding food.

A wonderful dining experience at one of the most beautiful settings & Resorts in Colorado Springs. Thank-you to the staff for taking such good care of us.

View was amazing and food was good, service was horrible and the food took over an hour to come out when there were only a handful of other tables in the restaurant - my suspicion is that the server completely forgot to ring it in. Then when leaving I asked for a to go bowl for my daughter's fruit and that was also forgotten, had to go inside about 15 minutes later to ask another server who promptly grabbed it for us. Overall would come back and give it a second chance because the view is just unbeatable.

We dined here on 6/15 during our stay at the resort. It was Father's Day and my husbands birthday. The atmosphere was top notch!! We were able to sit on the patio and the view is beyond incredible! Despite some showers and even hail it couldn't dampen that view! Service was attentive and friendly. The food was a bit of a miss for us. I do want to say the hummus was delicious. For entrees I order the filet and my husband the cod. My filet, while tasty, was a little over the medium I ordered. I expected a warm pinker center. The whole filet was lukewarm but I chose not send it back since it was already over cooked and didn't want to risk it going well done. I thought my husbands dish looked good and it wasn't until later he mentioned the fish was slimy, undercooked and not that good. We were having such a good evening together he didn't want to spoil it by saying anything then. I will say they comped dessert for him for his birthday which was super sweet! The dessert was fantastic. While the views and atmosphere mostly of made up for the food I would have expected such a high end resort restaurant to be a bit more skilled with the dishes. I would highly recommend going for drink or maybe dessert to take advantage the atmosphere and views.

Our 30th anniversary celebration was outstanding. The food, wine, bubbles and service were amazing. The view was incredible.

The restaurant was really nice and the view is incredible! We saw a deer and some rabbits and had an amazing view of the red rocks in the Garden of the Gods. The food was delicious and service was great.

Everyone was lovely at The Grand View restaurant. The hostess met my request of sitting outside for dinner to celebrate my sisters 60th birthday. That in itself was very appreciated. Our waitress was super sweet and was exceptional. Dinner was delicious, though a rather small portion. It's a must see to enjoy the food and grand views.

From the moment we arrived until we departed, the service was impeccable. A rare find in Colorado Springs. The view speaks for itself and should not be missed. All of us agreed that the food was terrific. The pacing of the meal was so nice, the waiters know their job, and I can't say enough good things about how well we were treated. First time for having black cod and it was as buttery and delicious as described. My friends spring risotto was lovely. My husband‘s chicken Was flavorful and full of mushrooms. We started with an artisan cheeseboard that could have serve six people! We even had to leave some. My cilia was accommodated, gracefully, and professionally. Highly highly recommend.

The view was absolutely breathtaking. The service was excellent. The servers and the hostess were delightful. However, the service was slow because they had a large wedding party. The food was marginal. We ordered eggs Benedict and a Monte Cristo. If the food had been outstanding, I would've considered it a better value. I plan on going back but probably will not order food. Maybe just have a glass of wine and enjoy the view.

Only distractions were the sun around 7-8 pm?? and the size of the table. Had to hold menu in my lap and it was awkward. Will know next time to request a table over by the fireplace - guessing it is not as open to afternoon sun. Needless to say - the view is fantastic - just a bit bright at times.

We came for a 30th wedding anniversary lunch and had an amazing meal and wonderful conversation with our server. We always have excellent time when we come to this restaurant.

Andrew

The food and view were exceptional. We had Beef Capacio and split the massive Bone-in Ribeye. The reason for my 4 star service is that our waitres was not at all attentive. However another server, Ron, stepped up amazingly. The half bottle of wines basically non-existent as the 2 we requested were not available.

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at Grand View and it was the best experience! The food and drinks were delicious, the service was excellent, and the view was beautiful.

This was my second visit for breakfast/brunch. Love their varied menu and food is excellent. Service is always great too. And you can't beat the view of the rock formations. (Ask for a window table when you make a reservation) During this last visit they were doing some work with an electric sander which was very loud. Luckily it only went on for about 20 minutes. When that isn't occurring they are a 5/5 for everything! We will be back.

Food was cold and biscuits and gravy had no gravy it was like frosting on a biscuit. Everyone in party was served food that was cold and sat under heat lamp too long. Disappointing to say the least.
