   AMAZING AMZING AMAZING! Not only was the food outstanding (and a wide variety), but the service was just off the charts incredible. I have never experienced anything like it! Can't wait to go back again when we are in town.

   very very expensive, me personally don't think the food was worth it. My pork chop was good and the lobster salad but drinks that cause 25 each , oh no. oysters over prices for 6. good food and ambiance but won't go back.

   Carlos greets you at the door and learns everyone’s name, which is such a nice gesture. He remembered our names throughout the dinner as well. My husband, daughter, and I were vacationing here and this restaurant was supposed to be the best of the best - it was! We had the best lobster bisque we have ever had, foie gras, Japanese Kobe beef, filet, and crab Alfredo. We then tried the brandy soaked cherries, crème brûlée, and cheesecake wrapped dessert. Everything was superb and the service was wonderful. Carlos and our waitress, Liz, really made our night wonderful. You really should come enjoy a dinner here if you can!

   We had an enjoyable dinner and food and service was good. The price range is closer to $80-$120 or more. I had 4 scallops on pasta for $85 and my wife lamb chops for $120. The total bill was $300 for two drinks, two entres and one dessert. We skipped the $50 salad and $20 soup. You will have a very nice dinner, but it will cost you. Foe our life style, we felt it was over priced.

    What a treat, outstanding food and service. Don’t let the prices scare you away. I feel that if you expect great food you need to be willing to pay more. Quality doesn’t come cheap. The early bird special is the way to go…food is discounted and the wine is half price. I will definitely return the next time I am in Colorado Springs.

    I have been to many restaurants with just as good food and presentation with a third less cost. Menu appears to be too full. I typically suspect mediocre food when menu is expansive.

    Second time at Carlos’ Bistro. It was amazing. They make everyone feel so special, our 9yo loves it and they interact with him so much. They even make him special plates, just to his liking. The food is amazing, we all tried everything from each other’s plates and loved everything. Carlos stops by and chats and makes recommendations. Such a great experience. You get what you pay for and this is worth every penny.

    We had an excellent evening at Carlo’s from beginning to end. He has an amazing liquor and wine selection. He even has the cult favorite Screaming Eagle. The selection is large. So it’s likely everyone will find their favorite for the evening. My friend and I split the Kobe and salmon oscar. They actually split it in the kitchen so the plates came out beautiful with half of each entree. Each entree melted in your mouth. The bread pudding was outstanding to finish a delightful night. Our server Stephanie was superb. We wanted for nothing but she let us enjoy our conversation.

Our group travels all over the world and we have never encountered what we experienced last night … sheer excellence, astonishing beauty, warm hospitality and a rare menu! We expect to travel to Colorado Springs frequently and we plan to return again and again. Carlos and Liz, thank you for an unforgettable dining experience! You are both special! God bless you all!

    It was an amazing night as we celebrated Mother's Day. Carlos met us in the parking lot with a big welcome and the evening just got better. Molly, the waitress, came by on a regular basis, but not too often. She gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the appetizer and drinks before even taking our entre order. And the entre's were outstanding, first in presentation and then in taste. And then to end it all with a delicious dessert. It has been many years since we had been to Carlos but we are already discussing the next visit. Thank You Carlos for a special, memorable evening.

    In terms of food creativeness and quality, service, and ambiance, likely one of the best restaurants in El Paso County. Very pricey but, I guess, you get what you pay for.

Carlos, what a character, welcoming, charming, caring, addressed us all by our names as did Molly who provided top notch service. The food and drinks outstanding, we will definitely be returning.

    Excellent and very attentive service from Brian. He explained many menu items. Didn't try to push us in any direction. The chef's presentations were attractive and most pleasing. The entire menu possibilities were varied and extensive. And, Carlos' tie was still in place. A most enjoyable dinner/evening.
