Twin Owls SteakhouseFantasticOur first visit, certainly not our last.
Beautiful building, Great Service, Fine Foods, World-Class wines.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBlack Canyon GemWe had an excellent dinner at the Twin Owls Steakhouse. My friends had the elk medallions and I had the trout. Everyone rated their meals as excellent. My friend said his elk was better than what we had the previous night at the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver. The atmosphere was wonderful - the old log cabin look. You could carry a conversation at a normal tone which is unusual for restaurants these days. The service was excellent. The owner was friendly. I'd definitely go again the next time in town. I found a new favorite.6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat EveningWe have visited Estes Park for years but had not tried Twin Owls. Big mistake. We had a wonderful evening. The food (elk medallions & buffalo steak au poivre) were delicious. Val provided terrific service. The setting is beautiful.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderfulVal did a great job serving two New Hampshireites! Food was delicious...elk and lamb. Veggies cooked perfect...not soggy like most places. View was spectacular.Romantic table in front of the fireplace. Who could ask for more.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLittle Gem tucked in the RockiesWe went on a Saturday night and there was a wedding party upstairs that kept the evening from being perfect. They kept the noise level high, but not unbearable. The food and service were excellent. We didn't sit close enough to the windows to have a view so we walked around outside after the meal. It is a lovely location.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful EveningWe're locals that will keep returning. Dined with friends (one even a vegan) and all of us had a great time and a great meal. We always appreciate the terrific service.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMRustic, romantic Estes steakhouse!This is our second time visiting Twin Owls Steakhouse while visiting Estes Park. I think it is a great steakhouse with good food and a rustic, romantic ambience! I ordered the lobster tail served with wild rice pilaf and vegetables and I liked it! I think I would have appreciated it more if it was served with mashed potatoes but I think I was just craving that! I ordered the french onion soup beforehand and it was excellent! The bread and seasoned olive oil is addicting too! My husband had the stuffed chicken and enjoyed it! It's a great fine dining spot in Estes!5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have eaten here severalWe have eaten here several times.

These Texans love it!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentExcellent restaurant, great diverse menu, worth the short drive from downtown Estes Park. The waiter recommended we try the elk, and it was delicious, as was the buffalo, steak and beef. Great appetizers and desserts as well. Pricey, but worth it.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMTwin Owls is OutstandingWe thoroughly enjoyed everything at Twin Owls from start to finish.
The owner (Thad), is charming and you can see that he wants to deliver the best of everything to those dining at this warm and beautiful restaurant . Our server was amazing, had great suggestions, and was very attentive. We did not have to ask for a thing.
Our meals were fabulous! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Elk Kabob appetizer and short ribs with sweet potato purée. I had a wonderful beet salad with mandarin oranges, walnuts, goat cheese and tasty greens. The duck was outstanding! There is also a lovely selection of wines and beers
I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates fine and wonderfully prepared food and outstanding service.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellenceGreat Menu,,prepared perfectly, and excellent service5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food, a little noisyThis restaurant is in an old building where the floor shakes as the staff moves around. The acoustics are not the best. The solo guitarist playing at dinner time helped temper the noise and was a pleasant addition.
The food is a bit pricey, but it is well prepared and there are a number of choices ranging from prime rib to game. There is a small selection of lower-priced items to choose from (pizza, sandwiches). The wine list is fine, and we found a California red we'd never had that was very good. The waiter was very attentive - almost too much so.
Twin Owls is a good choice for a nice evening out with a partner or friends. There is a separate bar, but as we had reservations and were seated right away we did not go in.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWe get back to Twin Owls aboutWe get back to Twin Owls about once a year and are always glad we do.

The food was even better than I expected!! Our server was outstanding!!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMHighly recommendThe Brie en Croute appetizer was the highlight of the night.Excellent food and ambiance. On a rainy evening, the crackling fire created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. We had a beautiful view of the mountains and the "yard", which made dining enjoyable with our two little children, who were more than welcome in the casual dining room. With tables placed far enough apart, our children were not bothering any other diners. The kids menu was appropriate and more healthful than most. The Filet MacGregor was good and the Black Canyon chicken was good; not exceptional. The wait staff and timing of courses were excellent! The price, very reasonable for the quality of food. I would recommend.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMHad an amazing anniversaryHad an amazing anniversary dinner here. The steak was outstanding, and there were lots of other menu options for my vegetarian wife.
