Diner Reviews
  • "The atmosphere doesn't get any better than the Stanley!"
    Dined on 3/2/2014
  • "All the food was appealing to look at but was bland, no seasoning at all. All flavors were safe and needed some pop. If I go out to eat and have to smother my food with salt, pepper and hot sauce for flavor chances are I will not be back."

  • "The atmosphere is awesome at this restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner. My husband was not real happy with his main dish (Halibut) and most of the food seemed a little too salty but when you eat the different components together the taste is amazing. We had the prawn appetizer and it was delicious."

  • "The Cascade has a special place in my heart because my husband took me there when we were first dating, and we had a very romantic lunch. The food is consistently good and the servers are always warm, friendly and welcoming. They have some unique, old-fashioned cocktails which my husband enjoys. My only complaint on our last visit was that I added two "special requests" to our Open Table reservation that were completely missed and not fulfilled. This was disappointing because we were celebrating our anniversary."

  • "They have a fun lunch menu with lots of choices. My husband had the meatloaf and the plate came out so pretty! I had the turkey wrap and loved the smokey flavor and the chutney. We love Estes Park and always feel like the Stanley is such a special place to visit."

  • "Really enjoyed the experience and the food was wonderful. A treat for Valentines Day...."

  • "We had a great time dining. The table was perfect and we appreciate the privacy. It really made out night. The service was spectacular and the food was amazing. We don't usually eat fancy food like that and we were a little hesitant at first but it was like nothing we had ever had before and it was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience."

  • "My wife and I spent the weekend in Estes Park and we stayed at the Stanley Hotel. With Cascades located instead the hotel, we thought we give the restaurant a try; however, after looking at the prices on the menu, we decided breakfast was more within our budget. My wife ordered a 1/2 Grapefruit, which cost $5. She also ordered a side of bacon (5 small pieces) and it was $5 as well. Coffee was $4 per person with unlimited refills. I guess Starbucks has some competition! I ordered the Denver Omelet, which came with hash browns and toast. My meal was very good, but not sure it was worth $13. Overall, the waiter was friendly and the food was good. Unfortunately, like most restaurants inside hotels, food and drinks will be pricey."

  • "It was a disappointment. I expected the Cascade Restaurant to be much more special than the other restaurant in The Stanley. We sat next to the partition between the two restaurants, heard all the noises, and had the TVs from the other restaurant right in our line of vision. I may as well have paid less and eaten in the other restaurant. It was not the dining experience that I expected and hoped for."

  • "We both had the Caesar Salad. Instead of grated cheese there were strips that were mixed in with the romaine. Didn't talk long before we were both picking the strips out. Way too strong of a taste. Wife had the meatloaf partly based on waitress recommendation. Bad choice too much sausage mixed in with the other meats, but that could just be personal taste. I had the "New York" steak. It's funny how putting a distant name on a steak is supposed to make it better. The meat was great and cooked to order, medium rare. Service was good. The decor was very nice. The experience would have been a lot better had there not been loud drunks at the bar. The room between bar and restaurant was divided by a half wall. Not very effective at noise control."

  • "We had a wonderful experience at Cascades! The atmosphere was quiet and elegant. My wife and I both ordered the salmon which was excellent. Great place for a romantic birthday celebration!"

  • "We make the trip to the Stanley every year to see the hotel decorated for the holiday, one night each trip we eat at Cascades. The food is very good and consistent, and the staff is attentive."

  • "I visited the Stanley Hotel and the Cascades Restaurant with my family, including my young daughter. The restaurant is lovely. Our server was prompt and attentive. The food and drinks were brilliant. I had a promegranate mimosa and the chipotle eggs benedict. Everything was delicious with attractive presentation. Our experience couldn't have been better."

  • "It was several years since we ate at the history-rich Stanley Hotel (think Cascades was still called Dunraven's then.) The food has vastly improved to some of the finest in the country. The short ribs were fall-apart-in-your mouth delicious. Kimg Salmon crust was a bit salty but it was cooked to perfection. The service was very gracious and attentive. It started to snow while we were dining which made the whole experience truly magical and one to be treasured."

  • "We were guests at the Stanley, which is where the Cadcades is located. We were a party of 4, having our 2 teenage kids with us. We are not drinkers, so I can only review our gorgeous meal. My son and husband both had the steak, they ordered it medium, and it was cooked to perfection...my son actually moaned his way thru it! Our daughter had the ribs, which were so tender (and boneless) it was reminise of a pot roast we had in England once, served with a rich dark brown sauce. I had the Fried Red Bird Chicken, it was crisp on the outside, and tender full of flavor in the inside. All of dishes were served with delicious mashed potatoes.We shared the lemon and chocolate desserts, that we heavenly. Our service was fantastic!"

  • "My husband were excited to dine at the Stanley hotel as we are both huge fans of the movie, "The Shining." The hotel was really cool to see and dining in front of the bar Jack Nicholson hallucinated in front of was pretty cool. The restraunt was really slow when we arrived (2:00 on a Friday). The wait staff was quite friendly and helpful. I took our waiter up on his recommended drink, The Black Orchid, and it was interesting, in a good way. They have quite a scotch, whiskey selection so my husband was happy. The meal was suprisingly unexpected. I had the special which was the US version of Kobe beef and fries. It was DELISH! My husband got the meatloaf (a house favorite) and it too was quite yummy!"

  • "The restaurant all-in-all was superb except a couple of recommendations for the menu: *Option to have a small dinner salad with the main course *The bread served did not go well with my entree; need to have a variety or a choice *There was no pure chocolate desert on the menu. It would have been wonderful to have had either a seven-layel deep fudge deep fudge chocolate cake or a brownie sundae"

  • "Beautiful restaurant, great food. Specialty drinks were great."
    Dined on 12/13/2013
  • "From start to finish waitress wanted our group of 4 to rush through dinner. Water refreshed once. Never asked if we wanted dessert. When lingering over wine and chatting wait staff none existent. Dining room was not full, we had reservations, and we left at 9:30. For the price point service should be attentive."

  • "Really enjoyed the Whiskey Bar and Cascades. The service was excellent in both areas. Very nice staff. The highlights of the meal were the amazing bread and the Potato Leek soup. We will be back."

  • "We ate at the Cascades the week of Thanksgiving and everything was just perfect. We have been there before and always enjoy going back. The food is delicious and the service is always wonderful. It's our favorite place to eat in Estes Park."
    Dined on 11/25/2013
  • "We took our guest to this restaurant for a special occasion but ended up being disappointed in food quality. Pathetic service didn't bel the experience: we had to ask the waitor to check when our food would be ready. We were disappointed"
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "We really enjoyed our meal at Cascades. John, our wine aficionado for the night was very helpful and attentive. He was also very patient with the guest at the next table who seemed very intent on arguing about wines and bread. The food was delicious, and the whiskey chocolate cake with salted caramel gelato was delicious, and we would recommend it highly!"

  • "I took my girlfriend here for our one year anniversary. The Cascades wait staff did a fantastic job making us feel important. It was really cool that the host even congratulated us when we first arrived. The food was perfect, I would recommend the boneless short ribs to everyone! Thank you Cascades for making our trip a memorable one."

  • "Just mentioning dining in a restaurant inside The Stanley Hotel, at 7,500 ft altitude would be enough said, however The Cascades Restaurant adds to it with their fabulous service and food/presentation. The flavor of the rice served with their salmon was incredible! In the past I've had their steak and their breakfast dishes are as scrumptious as well"
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "A very cool ambience. This place inspired the movie the shining, which gives it an eerie feel and adds some excitement to the evening. That aside, the bar features literally hundreds of different types of whiskey. I highly recommend trying a scotch flight. Our bartender was extremely knowledgable with regard to scotch and he spent a good ten minutes explaining the different regions in scotland and the processes of making scotch."

  • "The food was excellent. However, my meatloaf was burned on the bottom. The top was so delicious, but when you got to the bottom of the piece it was black and rock hard. The top 90% of the meatloaf was delicious and tendor, but it became harder and harder until the bottom 10% was trully hard as a rock. I only ate about 70% of the meal becasuue of this. I sent it back to the kitchen and never got anything back other than a bill and the wiater told me he would "inform the chef". Thanks for not bringing me even a replacement for the non-edible portion of my meal. I did not want an entirely new piece, just some more that was not burned. I did not get what I paid for. Great food and ambienace, but they acted like it was my fault."

  • "Cascades was very nice, and staff was great! Had dinner there for my husbands birthday. We ate the braised ribs and salmon. Both were awesome! Bar service, and selection was great! Bar is an exact replica from The Shining movie. Only downfall was that when I made the reservation, I had told them it was my husbands birthday. Other than telling him happy birthday from the hostess, the restaurant or waitress did not offer anything else. But overall atmosphere was nice, and food was good!"

  • "We have gone to the restaurant several times in the past, but it has gone way down hill, Atmosphere use to be romantic, but now it is very loud. As far as the food, it is now a high priced Applebees. Chef would not give me the meal the way I wanted it, he thought he knew what I would like better then me. Salad was very poor for the nine dollars, had alot of brown spots. I will never be going back to that restaurant again, I'm sure there are better places in Estes park now."

  • "The food was very good. It was a little pricey but that was expected. However, we were pleasently surprised about how much food we got."

  • "Our bar tender was awesome! I cannot remember her name, but her birthday was coming up around Oct. 27th. She gave great recommendations and good conversation. She was lovely!"

  • "My husband and I come to Estes Park twice a year for a getaway, and we always make a point of having a meal at Cascades. It never disappoints. It is on the pricey side (hotel prices...) but it is worth it. We went on the tour of the Stanley hotel this year too, so we feel a part of history when we are there."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "The dining room isn't well separated from the noisy bar, so I can't recommend it for a romantic dinner. The food is good but we thought that our short rib risotto entree was short on meat and didn't live up to the price. Wine prices are reasonable for a hotel."

  • "this place was beautiful and creepy all at the same time. since the shining was written there, it made for an interesting dining experience! the food was great and so was the service..."

  • "Not a large menu, but the food was absolutely delicious. Terrific selection of whiskeys."
    Dined on 10/12/2013
  • "The onion soup was mediocre. There were bits of beef in the soup, but it lacked the caramelized onion flavor that is the hallmark of a good onion soup. The cheese was so thick and stringy, I needed to use both hands to 'break' the cheese and wrap it around my spoon so I could take a bite. For my main, I ordered the street tacos, which sound pretty yummy on the menu. But they were the tiniest little miniature tacos I've ever seen. Suitable for appetizers, but not for an entree. $12 for three of these 2-bite snacks was too much. The crust on the creme brulee was burnt, and the custard flat tasting. The best part of my meal was the ided tea. The "dining room" is actually in the back of the bar. TVs are on, and there is a lot of noise."

  • "We visited Cascades on September 6 for my wife's birthday, and it was a terrific experience. Part of this was because we had reserved on Open Table and asked for a quiet table for the occasion, so we were put in a nook off the main dining room. Part was also that our waiter was John, the wine buyer, who was both an excellent waiter and also very knowledgeable about their wine list and wines in general. The food was excellent. The kale salad I had was one of the best salads I've ever had anywhere, and my halibut was very fresh and perfectly cooked. My wife's filet was excellent. The bar was outstanding, with an excellent selection of whiskeys of all sorts. Prices overall were very reasonable for the quality of the experience."
