Chautauqua Dining Hall

"Fantastic food with great quality. Quick turn around time. Very tender steak, fresh salmon, and great ice cream. Highly would recommend the burrata crostini"

"I believe they may have been understaffed the night we came (Sunday night at 6:30) but they tried their best. We enjoyed the bass, brussel sprouts, sausage, summer salad, and their cornbread. Yum! We'll be back."

"I had long dreamed of eating here. The service I received this morning ruined it for me. The blonde girl working the patio was completely inept. Never got a refill on coffee,though I asked twice. She brought me Luke warm milk in a mixed drink glass. After waiting 25 minutes for my food, they sent me out some dry looking pancakes with chopped up equally dry strawberries on top. Not a smear of butter in site. Here the kicker,I didn't order pancakes. She had to go reorder my Buttermilk Waffle. Another 25 minutes. Nows when I could a used that coffee refill I never got. Some dude came out of his own volition and said he'd knock a measly %10 off the Waffle alone. Gee thanks!! Didn't matter, because they forgot that too. When I finally got my Waffle, it was delicious. I won't knock it. I question the 2 strips of bacon. 3 is a standard order. To do less,is cheaping out. For no reason at all, except to save a buck. I was hoping for a better experience. Maybe I just caught em on a bad day."

"There are a few places in the country that offer such a magical combination of delicious food, charming ambiance, beautiful views, and friendly service. Chautauqua dining hall is definitely one of those magical places. We came by this morning for breakfast and we're able to sit in the sunshine and one of us had an incredible view of the plains and Boulder while the other was looking at the flatirons. The coffee was delicious, service was speedy and warm and friendly. We were able to be seated quickly, but I do know that the dining hall can be busy during the summertime and sometimes you will have to wait. If you don't have a reservation. Parking can also be tricky as lots of hikers will park ahead of time and take up the spaces near the dining hall. So allow a little extra time when you come here and remember that there's parking behind the hall and in front of the hall and check both areas for a spot."

"At the last minute, I requested a reservation for my husband's birthday (for high tea) .. I was pleasantly surprised that Melissa worked some magic, and got us a table (same day). All the waitstaff (Matt was our waiter) was attentive and kind. The food was scrumptious. In particular the butternut squash soup was wonderful. The atmosphere at the dining hall is unique & cozy. We have dined here several times and it is always delightful!"
