We loved our first experience at the Rabbit Hole. The Alice and wonderland theme was tasteful. The server gave us her favorites on the menu and they did not disappoint. We enjoyed the fried cauliflower app. The cocktails were perfect! My husband had a mezcal tequila cocktail and I had the white rabbit which had a flaming marshmallow and was made with coconut rum! Dinner was chicken cordon blue and ribeye steak. We would definitely come back!

It was our first time and it was very nice. We were there to see Brad Easton as he is our favorite saxophonist! Hanna was our waitress and she was great! Food and drink were very good. A little on the high side price wise. We'll be back!

Celi was our server. She was friendly and Attentive. This was our first visit. Lumen 8 is amazing. So much more than what Colorado Springs currently has for a “Dining Experience .” The seating is imaginative and includes creative options. The rooftop is beautiful, the patio is incredible and inviting. Loved it!

Wonderful time on first visit. My wife and I enjoyed a couple of different flights and a glass of each of our favorite wines from those flights. Also tried a light lunch of a flatbread that we very good. Love the concept of this place and the location is a nice setting considering that it's basically in a strip mall area. The view of Pikes is nice. Cheryl greeted us and told us their story and we were charmed to hear about her and her husband's journey to becoming wine bar owners in Springs. We'll be back soon and often with reinforcements!
