The Whiskey Bar At The Cascades Restaurant

Loved the experience, had a lot of fun with the staff and had some great food. Would go again for sure!

This was definitely all about being at the Stanley in the whiskey room. It was a cool space. We went for a friend's birthday and were a little disappointed. The filet was overcooked and charred, half the duck was perfect and the other half tough, but the meatloaf and shrimp/scallop linguine were very good. The waiter didn't check on us much but he was nice and comped dessert because of the steak. The drinks were fantastic. Overall I would come back for the right occasion with slightly lower expectations for the food, which wasn't exactly cheap.

Great bar and very good food. The duck dish is out of this world. The bourbon selection is awesome too. We miss Grant being our bartender.

We had an excellent dinner on Halloween. Ryan, our server, was great! Everything from cocktails to the prime rib and especially the lamb lollipops were incredible. For what had to be a very busy night for them you would never be able to tell by the quality and attentive service. Very memorable experience.

Great team dinner. Food and service was great, and they let us hang out later than normal.

We had a 7:30pm reservation for the dining room. We were right on time and seated, but no one came by our table or even acknowledged us for 10 minutes so we relocated to the bar and the bartender from Australia was GREAT! I ordered prime rib, but most of it was fat and inedible, but I was in a hurry to get to a 'tour' so unable to complain.

Made advanced reservations for our anniversary dinner on what I knew would be a busy night, ended up with additional wait to get seated and wait to get service. Remember each party gets 90 minutes at their table. Food to cost was as expected, paying for the atmosphere.

Excellent food, Excellent service, great atmosphere a bit pricey but well worth it for a special occasion

Our table of 10 enjoyed drinks and delicious appetizers on the patio. Perfect fall weather, good service, delicious food! Bonus sightings of elk!

Very over priced for quality. Service was not great either. We had to search for a waiter multiple times to get water refilled. The Stanley is a great experience and this restaurant definitely underperforms.

Delicious meals, excellent service, and a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. We had the duck and the wild game flight. Both were excellent.

Excellent dining experience. Staff was trained and friendly. Food was excellent. Ambiance the best!! An experience not to be missed when in Estes Park

Seated near an open table during a storm while waiters went in and out serving people who were sitting under an umbrella. Seriously!

This was probably our 5th or 6th visit over several years, so I feel we can compare the experience over time. I was hesitant to book, as 2 years ago it was a terrible dinner. This year the food selections and quality redeemed the restaurant, yet it is still way too loud for a relaxed dining experience. I feel that for the price of the food, there should be some incredible service and a calm atmosphere. There are so many great restaurants in Colorado that ruin the good with frenzied staff and shouting to be heard. We enjoyed the cheese board, very well constructed with ample food for the price. Additionally the jumbo shrimp cocktail was delicious, and the two sauces were tasty. For dinner out party ordered filets, the pork chop (thickest one I've seen), and a children's meal. All were well prepared, presented and tasted good. Dessert was apple tart and crème brûlée. The tart was huge, but shared it worked well and was very good. Crème Brûlée had little flavor. Overall we will still continue to come to the restaurant when in town, but might walk in. I feel a $10 parking charge is ridiculous when spending that much money in your restaurant. Lastly our server Milos was wonderful, but very busy. Maybe more help would equate to a better experience. Also dividing the bar from the dining room would help a lot. I don't want to feel like I'm in a sports bar while dining.

I reserved an outdoor table but when we were in the area 2 and 1/2 hours prior to the reservation I called to see if we could be moved inside because it was chilly. They said that wasn't a problem and then when we arrived we were seated outside. Thankfully the breeze was blocked by the wall of the restaurant and they had gas flames in the center of the table to help. Keep us warm. However, ours was not lit right away and when we asked the server he seemed a little put out and told us he would get to it when he could and we were told to be patient. It seemed a little discombobulated and I'm not sure why but we were able to order our food and an appetizer and when the app came it was brought by somebody other than our server because I had realized rink orders had not been taken. When the waiter finally came back to the table. I had mentioned we had not had any drinks ordered. He seemed a little surprised but he took the order at that time and brought them pretty promptly. It just seemed a little off amongst all of the wait staff. We have eaten there before and it just didn't seem worth it this time when that bill arrived
