Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Allenspark

EL FIVE was a great place for my son's birthday. The ambiance and food were amazing. And staff were all so attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the menu. The chef sent out some incredible dishes to our table. CATY was a fantastic server, knowledgeable and great personality to make our experience top notch.

My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the evening was the pasta with lobster—perfectly cooked and brimming with flavor. It was a dish to savor with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion being my wife’s birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great suggestion made for our first time here! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance, Tavernetta is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious food and service. Our server Mimi gave great recommendations. Our table was in the back and very close to other tables but the noise level was fine.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Twin Owls Steakhouse! Every employee we encountered was gracious and accommodating, and our server was superior! For such a large room you might think it could be a little cold and uninviting, but just the opposite was true… The exposed beams and beautiful lighting made for such a comfortable ambience... We enjoyed filet mignon and prime rib, both cooked perfectly! We had a delightful conversation with the owner at our table, discussing the beautiful venue and the attached bed-and-breakfast. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in Estes Park!
