From the moment we arrived at The Cliff House, perched above stunning views and wrapped in timeless charm, we knew we were in for something special. But the Wine Paired Dinner featuring Madison Woods Wines exceeded every expectation — it was a sensory journey that left a lasting impression. Each course was thoughtfully curated to complement the distinct personality of the Madison Woods collection. The evening began with a refreshing welcome pour of their signature Chardonnay, perfectly crisp with notes of green apple and vanilla, paired beautifully with a delicate amuse-bouche that set the tone for what was to come. Course after course, the culinary artistry from The Cliff House kitchen dazzled. The ribeye and the duck leg confeit alongside the Madison Woods Pinot Noir's was a standout — bright, zesty, and flawlessly balanced. Throughout the evening, the staff offered insight into each vintage, sharing stories that added even more depth and warmth to the experience. Their passion shone in every glass, and their pairings elevated the meal into an unforgettable celebration of craft, flavor, and community. If you're a wine lover, a foodie, or simply someone who appreciates the art of a beautifully executed evening, don’t miss the next event at The Cliff House. It’s not just dinner — it’s a journey for the senses you’ll be dreaming about long after the last glass is poured.

Everything was fine. Food good. Slow service. The waitress’ seemed overwhelmed. I asked for mustard from one, who was not our server, and she brought out a big , way too much., mustard. She was annoyed by my request, obviously.

I have been staying in Manitou frequently over the last few months for business (I live about an hour away) and decided to treat myself to a fine dining meal. Christopher my waiter was fantastic and said their French Onion Soup was the best on this side of the Atlantic. He was not wrong. The scallops were cooked to perfection and had so much flavor. And the Basque Cheesecake was amazing. This was the first meal in Manitou I was happy with. Christopher welcomed me to town and we chatted a little about how we both ended up here and he gave me a little intel about places to live if I decide to get a more permanent place down here.

Wait staff were okay but arrival at 6:30 and still no dinner food at8:30 was unacceptable. Wait staff explained the kitchen was having difficulties and our beef carpaccio would be comped. Walkws out after two martinis and an Old Fashion plus the carpaccio for over $100. Music was good with a classical guitarist playing during the wait but our dinner was still not coming even as we left. Should have gone to the Broadmoor or Margarita's at Pine Creek. They have never failed.

It took so long for our food to arrive, we had to confirm multiple times it was still coming. First, the appetizers took almost 30 minutes and then another 30 minutes after that for our main lunch. No recognition that it was taking extremely long, just “yes, it’s coming”. Upfront staff were friendly. Not the waitress.
