Diner Reviews
  • "The Twin Owls restaurant is only open Friday-Sunday in the winter, and as we arrived in town on Sunday, we felt lucky to have dinner reservations that night. We enjoyed the log cabin and crackling-fire-in-the-fireplace atmosphere on a cold winter night. Our dinners were delicious and the service was friendly and perfectly attentive. Would definitely recommend."

  • "Amazing building; great lodge room with huge fireplace. Perfect for that mountain experience. Great food; have had the steak, elk, salmon, duck . . . you really can't go wrong. I think it's the best steak in town. We go there every visit to Estes!"

  • "We dined next to a lady from Boston who mistakenly thought we were interested in her conversation. Not a fault of Twin Owls although a quaint log house environment does not mean overly quiet by its very nature. Overall a really good dining experience. Our server was super! Food was very good, not unique but such is American casual fine dining."

  • "Waiter seemed very familiar with selections and made great recommendations. We started with bacon wrapped scallops ( 3 for $12) they were delicious. I had beet salad which was beets, blueberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, feta and spinach. Dressing that came with it was tasteless but the salad eaten without the dressing was still very good. My husband ordered the elk tenderloins medium rare and they were just so. I ordered the scallops and they were very good. We were part of a party of 9 and our waiter never wrote anything down. When the orders came out, they were all correct which I thought was amazing. We would eat there again. Not so sure children would enjoy it."

  • "My wife and I were in Estes Park for a marriage retreat. For our "Date Night", we made reservations at the Twin Owls Steakhouse. Velera was our server. He made great recommendations with wine pairings. We split the Scallops with bacon, House salad and our entree was the Steak MacGreagor. It was topped with a balsamic vinaigrette sauce, with blue cheese crumbles and pistachios. So tender, we were able to cut it with a butter knife. Even with splitting of the food, there was plenty for both of us. The atmosphere was quiet, even though there were a number of other couples and a party of at least eight. The log walls, plank floors, large fireplace and windows only added to the ambiance."

  • "We drove an hour to Twin Owls just because they make the best steaks of any restaurant we've ever been to. It doesn't matter which steak you order, it will be amazing! Their service is also unbeatable. We will be back, and soon!"

  • "Food was incredible, the prices are modest (total tab for two, with wine, was $75 w tip). Only distraction was a wedding party in the next room. Although they were reasonable and not out of line by any means, our proximity to them was a negative. The food and service was wonderful, as it has been each time I've dined there. Highly recommend."

  • "I was so excited to come here for my anniversary! The service was amazing! We got the appetizer for 2 and it was beyond amazing! Then I had gotten the Filet McGregor and I had taken my first bite and I didn't like it, the raspberry purée was really bitter and it was not appetizing at all. But I will be coming back but I will try something else for sure"

  • "Our Hotel host at Appenzell Inn recommended this restaurant to us when we asked for a good steakhouse. She said the view was beautiful, food was very good, and the price was reasonable. She was right on all accounts. We will definitely return!"

  • "It's a nice place up in the mountains. It made my wife want to come back and stay in the cabins. The food was pretty good. Our waiter was great and made sure we had what we needed."

  • "Food was prepared as requested and was delish! Portions are big. Had wonderful service. Was a nice romantic dinner with my husband."

  • "We have had both bad and good experiences for dinner at Twin Owls. This latest trip was a good one, though. It was earlier in the evening so it was quiet and we had a choice of tables. So overall it was a very nice experience."

  • "Celebrated our anniversary with a wonderful dinner. When scheduling our reservation thru OpenTable I mentioned our anniversary and requested a table right next to the fireplace. They seated us right in front and acknowledged our anniversary and brought us a complimentary glass of champaign. The food was great!"

  • "We dined at Twin Owls as part of our Valentines Day weekend getaway to Estes Park. We enjoyed the bacon wrapped scallops, some delicious steaks, and very well-paired wine. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars on the food was because we felt the steaks had been slightly over-buttered. However, they were cooked to perfection (not all steak houses get medium-rare right) and everything else was absolutely delicious."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "I made reservations based on the reviews I had read online. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the food and the ambiance and the reasonable prices. Everything on the menu was about $30 or less. I had roast duck with Bing Cherry sauce. My first experience with duck and it was amazing. My date's steak was delicious. The triple dessert was to die for and the wine selection was reasonable. Great for a special occasion or just for a romantic dinner. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed."

  • "It was the worst service and food we have ever had we would of had better food at the Texas roadhouse. It was awful and very expensive for poor quality food"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The lodge is warm and inviting but the perimeter tables are a bit dark. The elk medallions were excellent but the prime rib was a little lacking in flavor. I have noticed over the years that no matter how you order your meat there it seems to come out medium rare or rare, which I love but my wife does not. They are used to serving game, like elk, which does much better on the rare side. They did a pretty good job on a busy holiday weekend."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "My steak was a little overcooked (I asked for med. well and ended up with a well done steak). That being said, I loved my experience."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "I wanted to love this place. The waitstaff with one exception was hurried and newly trained. The food just lacked pizzazz. My husband had the braised short ribs which were cooked too fast as they were tough and charred on the outside. My beef kebabs were similarly overdone and the sauce was bland. Our trio appetizer lacked as well. One highlight was the elk tenderloin - Exceptional!! I think with a little more attention the food could be transformed."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "My wife and I have been going to the Twin Owls Steakhouse for years on special occasions and weekend getaways to Estes Park. The food has always been top - notch and the wait staff are kind, friendly and attentive. In the two dozen or more times we have gone to Twin Owls in the last 8 or so years, we have never been disappointed and we will continue to go here whenever we go to Estes."

  • "Our second visit, and was as great as the first! If you have not triedTwin Owls yet, you are missing a wonderful experience."

    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Great food in a relaxed atmosphere - that's the best thing about this upscale restaurant. It's not a huge place, so it feels intimate and romantic. Coming up to Estes Park from the Front Range, the best thing about this place is that it's not loud like so many steak houses in the cities - you can enjoy a nice conversation over a relaxed dinner. The food was very good and they provided generous portions. We enjoyed a Valentine's Day dinner here and although the restaurant was full, we did not wait to be seated and did not feel rushed through our dinner. It's worth the drive up to Estes Park for a special night out at the Twin Owls Restaurant."

  • "My wife and I celebrated my birthday in Estes Park and had the privilege of dining at the Twin Owls Steakhouse. We got a table near the beautiful fireplace and soaked in the romantic and quiet setting of the log cabin. The food was impeccable prepared and promptly served, yet the entire experience was relaxed. One of the best meals I've had in years!"
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "The thing I liked most was the ambience . The waiter was a little pushy cause we wanted to have a drink first and he really wanted us to order. The food was not good! Lobster was over cooked yet cold, steak was tender but didn't have a great taste and the veggies... Pass!!! I wouldn't say I won't go back but I won't go back hungry."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Wonderful ambiance and decorating. Very friendly staff. Absolutely delicious food - the vegetable medley was perfectly cooked, and the green-chile cheddar mashed potatoes are to die for. Price was not bad at all for dinner of this quality. Only mild negative was the parking lot was pretty slick and icy the night we were there, but the weather can hardly be considered the restaurant's fault! A wonderful experience."

  • "We went to dinner for a birthday and this place was wonderful! We were sat right in front of a beautiful fireplace! Food and the wine pairings were excellent! Had the filet mignon and wow! Melt in your mouth! They brought out a dessert tray to see their desserts before choosing and brought a candle in one for his birthday desert! Will definitely be back! Fabulous place!"

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed EVERY aspect of of dining, from the exceptional appetizer, following with wonderful "specials" as entrees. Can not rave enough about my Stuffed talapia with exceptionally spiced house rice, tender veggies (all served beautifully and at a perfect temperature); exceptional choice of desserts, our party of four chose two, to share. The ambience is so very cozy, fireplace so beautiful, server is available, so perfect, yet subtle. It was an outstanding evening to offer comfort for friends, going through so much travail, rebuilding after the Estes flood. Thank you!"

  • "Twin Owls is in a rustic but modernized log home with large fireplace to add ambience and warmth on a cold night. The menu is heavy on beef, as it is a steak house, but there are fish and chicken dishes as well. Nice variety on a reasonably priced wine list. The service was very good and as was the food. A great place for special occasion or just a night out."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "We were greeted warmly. The table was set for our group of 13 as I requested, in a setting I had requested. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive. Menu selection was good. Food was very good. As always Twin Owls Steakhouse met our high expectations."

  • "Once again, we had a wonderful time at this restaurant. Excellent food, great waitstaff, and a warm and cozy ambiance. While it was delicious, my wife's prime rib should have been hotter. Also, we like al dente vegetables, but these should have cooked a bit longer. All of our desserts were terrific, and our various wine selections were very good."

  • "We spend a lot of time in Estes Park but had not dined at Twin Owls until this pas weekend for our 5 year anniversary. We were extemely pleased all the way around from food, service, atmosphere, etc. and they brought us complimentary champagne for our anniversary as well. Beautiful 1920's cabin, roaring fireplace."
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "I loved the live guitar, clear holiday lights, and fireplaces inside the restaurant. It added to the nice glowy atmosphere. Then, the food came out and it was absolutely delicious. We got lobster, filet, and ribs. All of them plus the sides were tasty. I highly recommend this place to anyone."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We decided to come here after getting engaged earlier in the day, and it could not have been more perfect! The food was wonderful, the ambiance was off the charts with the cabin feel to the interior, and the musician played great music. It's a small enough place but so well-decorated that no one's voices echo so it didn't feel extraordinarily loud like most restaurants do. Absolutely fabulous. We will always treasure our meal here."

  • "My husband and I had been to the Twin Owls previously and had thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the meal, service and atmosphere. We brought our family to celebrate our eldest son's birthday and once again had the most delicious meal with impeccable service accompanied by the live music of a classical guitarist. Val is the best waiter and made our meal very enjoyable! We will definitely return for more duck and elk! Delish!"

  • "The food at twin owls is great, wonderful atmosphere in an old log building, a very good selection on the menu with some reasonable prices. The only negative here is the waiter tried to really rush us out which is quite unusual for that to happen in a high end restaurant like this."
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "Every time we travel to Estes, the Twin Owls Steakhouse is on our "must dine here" list. Only downside is that the Twin Owls is only open for dinner Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday at least during the winter months. The setting is absolutely charming, the wait staff very attentive and the fare is delicious. This time I ordered Chicken Parmesan - quite tasty and my husband had the rib eye - perfection."
