Absolutely delicious food. This amazing restaurant is less than 10 minutes from the entrance to the Garden of the God's. Very diverse menu. We wish we could have had time to come back another day for another dinner.
EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR! I visited for the first time today during the lunch hour and was very impressed. The greeter was amazingly kind, all the staff was professional and on top of things and the food was amazing. The pricing was very reasonable and each bite was packed with flavor. So good. There are two rooms with plenty of seating for small parties or large groups. They had classical music playing in the background which contributed to the elegant vibe inside. I was very impressed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I wasn't sure what to expect of this former Denny's by the highway off ramp, and its limited menu. Some reviews are mixed. But I'm so glad we came here. One of the best meals I've have in the Springs in the nearly 3 years I've lived nearby. Portions were huge. I was the only one in my party who finished my entree, and only just barely. My mom got the Persian chicken, and it was cooked perfectly. Great flavor. I had the lamb tangine, and it was fantastic. Very balanced and delicious in every bite. The gyros were a bit ordinary, but that is the norm around here, and can be forgiven. Excellent service. Caitlyn was a fantastic waitress. I don't understand why some reviews complain about the decor. It's an old Denny's that they magically turned into a restaurant that looks like it's been here for 50 years. Not everything has to be flashy and modern, Colorado Springs. I will return here again for sure. Wish there were more places like this nearby.
Our meal began with creamy tomato bisque and fresh baked bread with olive oil. For the meal, I had the Citrus Salmon and my husband ordered Moroccan Chicken. The food was so flavorful, delicious! Solin was our server, and she was attentive and friendly. This was a meal to be remembered. I highly recommend!
Our waitress Erin was wonderful. We didn't realize that we were there almost an hour after they closed. She did not rush us at all she could not have been sweeter! The food was delicious. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.
This place is a hidden gem of Colorado Springs. The service is impeccable and the food is over the top, mouth watering delicious! You feel so welcomed the moment you walk through the door and are made to feel like family. We had the hummus, the Mediterranean pizza, the beef/lamb kabobs and topped it off with a piece of tiramisu. Every single bite was better than the last. And special mad props to our amazing waitress Anne. She gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to move back here so we can come more often.
A little dated on interiors, would have been nice to have dinner service outside on a beautiful temperate evening, ordered the Persian chicken as my husband ordered the Lamb Tagine with artichoke, hearty portions, good cocktails, informative staff, could use a update on interior and exterior, wish the menu was a little more informative, also what is vegan or substitutions for food allergies. Overall very satisfied, food was delicious and more than satisfying, chicken was delicious, moist and flavorful, rice was perfection, veggies were also very delicious. Happy with stopping here, even though I was hesitant at first. Worth the delicious meal. 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, an appetizer and desert cost 110 before tip.
I forgot to take a pic of the prime rib dinner which was delicious!!! Our server Sicily was fabulous and made us delicious martinis. Her knowledge and experience of serving others really shined through. She made our experience exceptional. The food was excellent. The Zucchini feta soup of the day was the best soup I think I’ve ever had and the salad with salmon was also delicious.
