    This is the third time my husband and I have spent a night at the Inn and ate in the dining room. We love Glen-Ella Springs. We enjoyed using the pool and our dinner was outstanding. Bonnie took such great care of us and made our celebration very special. We recommend Glen Ella Springs to all. It is one of our favorite places.

    Lovely setting and restaurant. Great food and service. My steak had fat running thru it and our server quickly brought a replacement. Always a great experience to dine here.

    Wow, just wow. Our dinner was just perfect. At the recommendation of Bonnie, our server, I had scallops on a bed of couscous and they were delicious. They were actually an appetizer but I made a meal out of them. My wife, who is a vegetarian, had a wonderful plate of lightly sautéed vegetables, carrots, green beans and squash. The Chef always takes care of her. And finally, fresh churned coffee ice cream for dessert. The absolute best I have ever eaten.
