We found this place after trying to eat at Adam's Mountain Cafe (only to discover it was CLOSED at 3 p.m. on a Sunday! Closed to serve the customers better?! ODD). At any rate... this was an ok...

The food is really good and also really expensive. It's about $50/person for a salad, fondue, entree, and dessert. The salad was one of the best I've ever had. It was just a simple...

The hubs and I got a babysitter for this paticular meal, boy, I'm glad we did... this is NOT a place that you want to go with small kids in-tow. I would wait until they were teenagers to take them. We...

Now, this is not exactly some sort of culinary masterpiece, but the experience was so awesome. We had so much fun cooking our own food, and the pace kept our tummies empty enough so we weren't...

Mona Lisa is a fixture of West-Side Colorado Springs cuisine. The restaurant is in an old building with small rooms, creaky, crooked floors and steep stairs. Old, signed wine bottles from previous...

A bit on the pricey side; my wife and I paid $140 together for the four-course meal and a bottle of white wine (after tip). My pet peeves were that they charged an additional 3 dollars for the...

This is a cozy little cafe/restaurant nestled deep inside Colorado Springs... a nice, but pricey, romantic getaway that's filled with so much warm, gooey yumminess that you're guaranteed to fall...
