Best Casual Restaurants in Manitou Springs

This is an excellent upscale dining experience. The only complaint I have is that we had requested a table by the window with our reservation. We got seated at a table in the center of the dining room but we could still see out of the windows to be able to view the lights of the city. Excellent food and service.

We had a wonderful lunch the day after Christmas. Had the French Onion Dip appetizer, Reuben, Fall Crunch Salad, portobello burger, and GOG Burger, and raspberry sorbet for dessert (various diners). All items were served hot and fresh and everyone loved their food. Compared to other fine dining venues, the prices are similar, so the incomparable views and ambience are essentially free. That makes the Grand View Dining room a bargain for a special meal. Highly recommend.

Small, upstairs Italian with great menu! Everything ordered was wonderful!

We were seated immediately, our waiter was amazing as he went over the remarkable menu, told us his favorites and also made great recommendations. The service was perfectly timed, The drinks were fabulous, the Arancini and Fried Calamari were outstanding with incredible sauces for both. The Shrimp Fra Diaviola was delicious, so was the Chicken Picatta and the Tonios Rigatoni. They also provide salads so 2 Traditional & 2 Caesar were both excellent. The Dessert menu was awesome but we were so full we couldn’t order one. Can’t wait to return to try more on the menu!

We are frequent guests at Briarhurst Manor. The meal was one of the best we have had there. The Denver Steak and Scallop & Asparagus Risotto were excellent! The server was attentive and gracious. Highly recommend for a special nice dinner.
