Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Manitou Springs

This was a special dinner for my sister's birthday, a place we'd talked about going to for some time, and we were really looking forward to it! The wait staff were all very nice, informative, and attentive, but... We ordered an appetizer to share the Trumpet Mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious, a departure from the "normal." We ordered our mains - my BIL ordered the scallops, my sister, the filet mignon, and I ordered the bison NY strip. We sat. And, sat. As others who'd come in after us had their dinners delivered... we still waited. Finally, the waiter said that the steaks had been overcooked and they were remaking them. My BIL's scallops came, and my sister and I still waited. Finally! Our steaks came... but there were 2 filets. I asked about my order of the bison and was told that they'd been out of it for a few day. Huh? Okay, I'll keep the filet. But, dang... a Dijon sauce??? Nope. I don't do anything with vinegar. So, I sent it back and opted for the trout, which was delicious. But, the mistakes and the time it took for our mains was really not good, especially for being first-timers. Will we be back. Yes, I do understand that things happen. But, as a higher end establishment, it should be addressed.

Maybe my favorite burger in town now. Lots of drink options, and the truffle fries are great. Our waitress was also friendly and patient.

Had the best server - very personable. Great food and great atmosphere!

In my opinion, ristorante Di Sopra is not just the best Italian restaurant in Colorado Springs. It is THE BEST special occasion restaurant in Colorado! Service, food, value, ambience, this restaurant is the epitome that all others strive for.

Always fantastic!!! Best Steak!! Great variety of foods and wines. Great craft drinks. Right from the start it’s always a great experience from the warm greeting from the sweet hostess Tayla to our amazing server Laura, this restaurant has a way of making you feel special. When the food arrives, everyone of the table is always going “wow this is so delicious”. This restaurant is now our go to restaurants for a quiet date night at the bar or bringing guests from out of town to a nice restaurant. This one is a win!
