“Adams Cafe is a true local gem! I love their menu — so many fresh, healthy options made with care and great ingredients. The baked goods are absolutely outstanding, and the cake of the month had us all smiling. Everything tastes homemade and full of heart. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I loved my stay at Cliff House while visiting Manitou Springs. At check in I was surprised with a complimentary upgrade from a standard king room to a deluxe king. Completely unexpected and so thankful for. The room was clean, had a beautiful view of the mountains, a cozy fireplace, huge bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub, heated toilet seats, a bathrobe and the personalized welcome message on the tv was a nice touch. Room service was fast and courteous. The valet service was always very fast and friendly as well. I have no complaints, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend Cliff House to others visiting Manitou Springs.“

“The food is delicious. The Chef truly knows food. The Pork Belly Deviled Eggs, Lamb T-bone, and Trout are what I highly recommend.“

“The atmosphere in the rabbit hole was so dark and amazing, gave off a wonderful quiet dinner. The white rabbit, and cherry limeade cocktails were amazing drinks, for dinner the wagyu center cut was amazingly delicious and also the bison short ribs were also so delicious the meat fell right off of the bone. So delicious and delightful evening my wife and I had! We will definitely come back“

“The perfect fall meal! The cold brew with coconut cream was so refreshing, while the hot toddy brought all the cozy fall vibes. Pair that with their delicious Cuban sandwich, and you’ve got comfort food at its best. Plus, Shuga’s has a gorgeous patio that makes the whole experience even better. Amazing flavors, great atmosphere, and the best place to soak up the season!“

“🥰Our favorite in CO Springs!“

“We came with a large group for a work dinner. I had the 4-course with wine pairing, which was nothing short of spectacular. Dave was our server and handled the large group with ease and humor. We ate most of the menu and the dishes were all unique interpretations, and maintain the tasty, seasonal feel of late summer. I would absolutely recommend and will love coming back.“

“District Elleven is a total vibe—moody, modern, and tucked just off Tejon in downtown Colorado Springs. We stopped in on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find happy hour running from 4pm to close (yes, all night!). The Drink of the Week was a total standout—The Myagi Blossom, made with gin, Aperol, honey lavender, and lemon, topped with boba. Light, balanced, and not too sweet—just right. It was fun, creative, and refreshing. We sampled several small plates and honestly, they were more generous than expected. Highlights: the perfectly crispy arancini, the hummus plate (topped with caramelized onions and served with warm bread, carrots, and cucumbers—my personal favorite), patatas vovo (a delicious spin on a classic), and the artichoke de fritas, which were divine. For cocktails, the Sazerac had a bold nod to New Orleans—traditional with a whisper of absinthe that hit all the right notes. I ended the night with a dirty vodka martini served with blue cheese-stuffed olives—beautifully done. We also shared an affogato for dessert, which was the perfect finish. Service was also top-notch—our server handled both the bar and our table with ease, making us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for. This place is a gem. Whether you’re just out for drinks or looking to graze and linger, District Elleven nails the ambiance, flavors, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great food and experience!“

“My wife and I spent our 43rd anniversary here. Wow, Susan our waitress was amazing. The ribeyes were cooked perfectly. The wine was pared just right. Thanks to all the staff for wonderful experience!!“

“Great breakfast, good service!“

“Great beer, but please bring back the Devil in a Red Dress cherry cheesecake. My wife's favorite beer anywhere!“

“Not a bad place to get something to eat“

“Supernova Bar and Arcade is a phenomenal value if you like good drinks and classic games. The staff is friendly and the prices on everything is more than fair.

Pretty much every game costs $0.50/credit. There are 2 change machines on site, but they only take $1s and $5s, so make sure you bring small bills if you want to play the games. The bartender *might* break larger bills if you buy stuff.

The food is pretty good for bar food and priced well. It was cooked well and tasty.

There is a solid drinks selection, and beer is cheap. You're not gonna find $12 IPA hipster lager prices here.

This bar also has the distinct advantage of being open until 01:30 — a rarity in Colorado, in my experience.

Supernova is definitely worth checking out. Make the time to drop in if you can!“

“A nice place to have lunch when visiting the US Air Force AcademyThis is located on the United States Air Force Academy Grounds. It is on the north side of Academy drive but to the southeast side of the Academy classrooms and student housing. It is billed as a place for special events and is well suited for that. It is situated on a hill overlooking the golf course and grounds. It has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of parking. I am not sure if you have to call before you arrive but our escorts had a table reserved for us right against the window. You choose your meal and pay before you sit down. The menu was a one-page affair with sandwiches and salads. The dining room was a large hall with large and small tables with north and east-facing windows. The view is pleasant. The food was reasonably priced (most meals are about $10) and came out quickly. The food was very good and the staff was very pleasant. If you get a chance to visit and eat at this location I think you will enjoy it for the food, service, price, and view. Enjoy!“

“Typically wouldn’t order fish tacos but waitress convinced me. So glad she did. Best fish tacos I ever had.“

“Every time we come to sacred grounds, the food dessert and drinks never disappoint whether it’s breakfast lunch or dinner. I’ve never had a bad meal here. I am also obsessed with the lemon blueberry cake, it is the best cake I have ever had in my life. The outdoor patio is so beautiful and cozy. Natasha is so friendly!“

“Best place - welcoming atmosphere! Love the food. Drinks are great too!“

“We took our kids to the Cheyenne mountain zoo and chose to stay at the Marriott. No one told us the zoo was up hill both ways, but it was beautiful. After deciding we were too tired to go out we had dinner at Ascent. Our server Cameron was fantastic and very polite. We were surprised at the portions and the food was very good. Thank you again Cameron for a great experience. We'll definitely stay again.“

“Not what I was expecting for a top suggested restaurant. Music to load couldn't here each other talk. Not much of a menu selection. Staff was great. Atmosphere was nice. Had more of a club vibe with a menu.“

“took my boys for the first time there to watch some Texas football, and Kera was on point with making it a great experience for them with refills of the sodas and water and the pizza was amazing ,“

“My husband, myself, and our 2 year old son dined here Friday night. We were brought a choice of bread, we shared the brioche swirl and the sourdough rolls with a salted butter. These were definitely our toddler’s favorite of the meal. The second picture shows a sample we were given by the chef, unfortunately I don’t remember what it was called, but it was delicious. Crostinis with a slightly spicy and creamy dip. We shared the chorizo empanadas for our first course. My husband and our toddler loved these. I loved the pepper jack fonduta it came with. My husband’s main course was the fried chicken milanese. My main course was the braised short rib. The beef was delicious, but my favorite part was the charred onions, wilted spinach, roasted tomatoes, chopped cubanelle peppers, and sliced olives on the bottom. Our toddler’s main course was the pappardelle and fontina mac & cheese. Of course I had to sneak a few bites of it. Also, my husband raved about the Singapore Sling cocktail.
Everything we ate was truly delicious! This was the best restaurant experience we have ever had. We can’t wait until next time!“
