Carlos' Bistro

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

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!

Been coming here for 20 years! Always delivers! Every single time.

Best food in Colorado hands down. Very good attention to detail. It is pricey but worth every penny.

Carlos, staff, and food were amazing. Carlos greeted us before we made it to the door, making us feel at home before we entered. Liz was our server and has the perfect blend of friendly enthusiasm and professional knowledge/diligence. Everything ordered was beautiful and delicious. One of the best meals I have ever eaten with a staff that made it a truly wonderful dining experience. We could not have asked for more to help celebrate our 26th anniversary. Thank you.

The menu is extensive. Satisfying all appetites.
My octopus was too chewy.
Sea bass and wine selection were fabulous.

Carlos runs and amazing business. I am very grateful for his attentiveness. The food was amazing!

Great place! Service exceptional! Food wonderful! Will be returning!!

We LOVE Carlo's Bistro. It's our special occasion place to go. Really large menu and everything is always perfect. We have NEVER had a less than a perfect meal and experience!

Our favorite place to eat for special occasions! Carlos is the best and so is his staff!

I can’t believe we waited so long to go here! Food was AMAZING and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely going back soon!!!

Carlos and his staff are absolutely amazing and make it a truly special experience every time. More than 5 stars!

One of the best restaurants in Colorado Springs. Every meal we have eaten there is excellent. Carlo is also there to greet you and make sure your experience is a quality one. We go to the early bird hour where the meals are reduced in price. The portions are supposed to be slightly smaller, but we find that they are quite large. We will continue to go there when possible.

The best!!

Hands down, best food and best service in Colorado
