We showed up hungry and left full and 100% satisfied! Brittney was awesome! The drinks were delicious and nice and clean! - We had a classic margarita and the Paloma. The chicken parmesan sandwich and the fire bison burger were spot on! Even the side salads were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Carmen! Wish we lived here, would come all the time!

Loved this place! It's a busy and small place so get there early but the food was worth the wait! Love the tapas and homemade soup. Support local and eat here!

Food was excellent. Customer service was lacking by hostess/waitress. Bus help were friendly and did an awesome job.

We ordered the soft shell crab sand which and it was disgusting. I like all food and I'm not one to turn down mediocre food but this was not only gross but it was $18! The sandwich squished crab juice in my mouth and almost made me barf. There were severely over fried (didn't know it was fried)... I wanted to get the cake but was scared of the quality it would be. I would not come here again...

I am weary of businesses nowadays chronically blaming staffing issues on slow service. While staffing may be an issue, I don’t understand how simple courtesy seems optional. Wednesday night approximately 6:45. We stood in front of the hostess stand for twelve minutes while two different gals came and went. There were maybe four tables seated in total, inside and out. No one said…. One moment, sorry for your wait, they didn’t even make eye contact. Finally they seated us, then the next wait began… for drinks. It took forever, but maybe there were only two servers. I don’t know. Two out of the three things we ordered, they were out of…. Sigh. After we ordered, the food actually came out quickly. Reports from the family were that the salmon patties and the Alfredo pasta were quite nice. The bison burger that I had was cooked perfectly but had zero flavor. Alas the fries were good. Neat enough place, but a tidge disappointed.

My wife wanted to go again after our good experience 3 years ago, and we were not disappointed. Strong drinks and good food, can't ask for much more. My wife had the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, and I had the daily special 8oz Filet. The horseradish sauce with the filet was great!

Very knowledgeable on gluten free items on menu. They told me they have dedicated fryers. Food was delicious. Our server kind of slacked a little refilling drink even though they were not busy. All in all good experience!

We had a great experience here. We picked it primarily because it had a dog friendly patio, but the food was outstanding. The drinks were well made. Service was prompt and friendly. We will return. We want to try more things on the menu.

Took a friend of mine here and had an awesome meal outside on their patio. Great service, food, and view. Will definitely return!

Great find in Woodland Park! Service was excellent across the entire staff, and the food was delicious! Although not on the menu, we asked for sangria, and it was tasty! You must stop by!

We sat outside when we came! I was expecting a bit of a different menu for a tapas bar. They have some pricier fuller sized plates so I just shared with a friend. It was a good food but like I said I just expected something different for tapas. I was expecting to get a few small plates to share at an affordable price but that's not the case here!

Wonderful experience! The Avocado ahi appetizer was delicious and the house made fish and chips had very light and crispy batter.

Friendly and clean little bar/grill. Service was good, my bison burger was really good, just needs seasoning as bison is soooo lean. It was really good just the same. The sweet potato fries were the winner here! Best I’ve ever had!

All the employees had great hospitality. My food did come out cold but they corrected it immediately. Once they re-seared my flank, it was delicious. Hopefully the chef learned culinary timing the evening I was there. Other person joining had great food. Does require using stairs to dine at this restaurant. Ambiance was cozy and interesting. Dessert was amazingly delicious. Enjoy ?

We have lived in Teller county for 6 years and this has always been our favorite restaurant. It’s consistent, quality and always delicious. Great cocktails and chill atmosphere!
