Carlos' Bistro

Excellence. From the moment we walked in, through a wonderful dinner, until the moment we walked out. We will go back, time and time again!

Carlos’ Bistro is definitely the best place to eat in COS! The food is always delicious, the owner is always there to greet you, and he and his staff make it a point to know everyone’s names. Great food, great atmosphere, and you always feel warm & welcomed. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

My wife and I infrequently get away for a date night and when we do, Carlos’ Bistro is where we go. The service is outstanding, as is the food. Always a fun, enjoyable experience and we couldn’t be happier. Carlos remembers us, shares stories, has great recommendations, and makes us feel so welcome. And the service team is just amazing. We have yet to try something we havent loved and we try something new each time we go. Highly recommend!!

Definitely the best restaurant in Colorado!!!!!!!

Best food in Colorado Springs, probably Colorado! Perfectly prepared and presented to your table. Staff is professional and friendly. Can’t say enough about Carlos! Visits each table and makes sure everything is “perfect”! Takes pride in his restaurant, his staff and his food. And it shows!

An absolutely wonderful dinner. We went to celebrate our anniversary and Carlos and his staff made it memorable. The food was wonderful and Liz's service was impeccable.

We will go back regularly1

Great food and service. Carlos makes everyone feel like a welcome and valued guest. Pricey

Carlos greeted us and was very friendly . He spoke with us several times.

Date night!

Carlos and the staff made us feel welcome and very special. The food was exceptional, and gourmet quality. There were so many dishes we wanted to try that we ordered several and shared. White bean soup was so creamy and wonderful. The lobster salad was the best I’ve ever had anywhere. And all of our entrées were outstanding. Finished with some great desserts and house brewed coffee. One of the best dining experiences Ever!!!

Incredible hospitality, service, and food. Best I have ever eaten at!

Oh my gosh! My husband and I had never been there and from the moment we walked in we felt as if Carlos had known us forever. The whole staff is so wonderful and the food was to die for. We will definitely be a return customer.

Outstanding food and service like always. So good to see them open again

The food was fabulous as always and the fact that the owner takes the time to have a conversation with each and every guest is amazing.

Great food and service. We couldn’t have asked for better service as a matter of fact. Food was excellent but really overpriced in our opinion. I’ve eaten at many high end restaurants and just can’t see why 3 scallops should be $55. Most fine dining restaurants would be around $38-40 for that dish. Same with my husbands halibut special. It was $75 and we felt like most places that same dish would be around $45-50. Great little place but the prices really aren’t necessary as you can get good quality food at fine dining establishments for much less.

Superb service and wonderful food along with an excellent wine selection. Truly an outstanding dining experience.

Although the food was great and the service excellent, it was VERY noisy and the prices were VERY HIGH for what we ordered.

Carlos himself greeted us at the door and let us sit outside because it was such a nice day out. Grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the early bird special, as a couple of young singletons it afforded us the ability to enjoy fine dining. This was our "Easter" dinner away from our families. Everything was delicious, would love to go back and sample more entrees.

Wonderful!! Best meal we have ever had. Highly recommend!

The best restaurant in Colorado Springs! The food is just fantastic and we’ve never been disappointed. The frog legs - AMAZING!!! We are going to be giving gift certificates to our family so they can experience what it means by FINE DINING.

First time here at recommendation of friends. Food is exceptional as is the service. There were discounts on some food and wine. I’m sure Covid has been tough on them. But they’re doing their best to survive. Support local!! Thanks Carlos for a lovely evening. We will be back.

Carlos is the real deal!!! This was the best meal from start to finish that I've ever had. Each dish was consistently great.

Always have a wonderful dining experience at Carlos' Bistro. The food and drinks are excellent as well as the service provided by the staff. I would highly recommend Carlos' to anyone wanting a memorable dining experience.

Wonderful from beginning to end! We went for the early bird special and enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. Carlos is very personable as he greeted us outside the front door welcoming us in by our names. I felt like I was visiting a friend. The dining room is very cozy and comfortable. The menu is extraordinary with pleasing results for all ordered. I highly recommend and will keep Carlos’ Bistro at top of the list to visit again.

Highly recommend.

Again amazing service and food was superb!

Our waitress, Molly, did a great job! Returning to our table at appropriate times. Food was excellent. My wife's filet was cooked to perfection and I had the lobster diavolo. The pasta and sauce were spicy but the lobster wasn't. I loved it. Molly said that they can calm it down if you don't like spicy food.

We had a wonderful romantic dinner out. The wine suggested for our meal was phenomenal. The service and food lived up to the hype.

Excellent food and outstanding service. The music is a bit strange, but I wonder if this is the bistro atmosphere.

Best Service I have ever received. Elizabeth was a wonderful server and Carlos was the best host I have ever experienced.

Food was fantastic! I have eaten at Commander's Palace and Carlos Bistro exceeded my expectations.

Service was outstanding! Definitely expensive but a worthwhile special occasion splurge.

nice restaurant with good food but kindda salty for us

New physician in our practice. A true culinary experience that exceeds all expectations. Carlos and his staff work tirelessly to have all guests are sated and satisfied. Wine was amazing as a compliment to a feast of lobster caviar steaks and amazing dessert.

When COVID shut everything down on March 13th, 2020, that marked the end of my going to restaurants. But after a year, now that I'm fully vaccinated, I thought it only appropriate to make Carlos' Bistro my first restaurant experience again. Everyone is so cordial, the flood is so flavorful -- the year only seemed to make things better, and that's saying a lot, as outstanding as this restaurant has always been Treat yourself to Carlos' Bistro!

Best food and Amazing service. 2 stars!

Impeccable food and 5 star service. Never a bad experience.

First visit and will definitely be back. Wonderful service and welcome from Carlos himself. Waiting staff are attentive without being overbearing. We were there on a Wednesday night and were a few other tables occupied but by no means fully booked.

Food is outstanding and a very extensive menu. I had carbonara which was lovely. Friend had scallops which were perfectly cooked.

The extensive menu has a wide range of price variances from super expensive to reasonable. However even at the reasonable level it’s still expensive. For us it was absolutely worth it but be aware it is on the expensive side. Still highly recommend though. We will be back.

Always fabulous!! Food, ambience, service and of course the delicious food are all top notch! We are beyond blessed to have Carlos Bistros in Colorado Springs.

We were ecstatic to return after a 16 month hiatus, and it could not have been better. I can't even begin to describe the amazing flavors and presentation of each and every dish. You must experience this for yourself. If the world ended tomorrow I'd go happily having this meal as my final meal. Yes, it's that good.

This was by far the best filet I have ever had in my life. The flavor was exquisite and had just the right amount of spice.

Can’t wait for the patio to open!
