Manitou Springs Restaurants

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service, as well as, value of this restaurant. We will be returning to it often.

Everything was amazing, food was ok for the price. Totally worth it.

Absolutely everything from getting greeted, to being sat, to our extremely attentive and intentional waitress, Louise… to every single bite we took, was perfection. If you are anywhere near COS, do yourself a favor and go!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mona Lisa. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding and we loved the traditional cheese fondue, grilled proteins and veggies. We had the dark chocolate fondue for dessert which was amazing.

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.
