La Taverne 1 Lake Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80906

"Used to love this place but cannot stand the automatic 20% gratuity as our waitress was mediocre. There’s no reason for them to do a good job when they are already getting tipped 20%. I also noticed a PIF charge on the bill in which I have never seen and the waitress couldn’t adequately explain. In addition to changing their menu, I will not be back."

"What a wonderful experience! I went back for a second visit today. 1st visit I had the cheeseburger. 2nd visit I ordered the French Dip. Whenever you can, get the shoestring fries! Everything was great in flavor and presentation, but the shoestring fries were seriously some of the best I've ever had! Peter was my waiter and his suggestions and recommendations were 100% on-point!"

"I have had lunch and dinner several times at La Taverne, I have to say dinner is my preferred time to visit. The steaks are just so tasty and fresh, their seafood tower is amazing and their prime rib is mouth watering! The service, as 95% of the service at Broadmoor, is great! Everyone is so welcoming, they all have a smile on their face. I love The Broadmoor and all its restaurants!"

"What a spectacular experience we had at La Taverne tonight. This is the top restaurant within the Broadmoor and for good reason. The first thing we noticed walking through to our seats is how beautiful the space is. It only got better from there as the food was amazing! Having dined in a lot of the best restaurants in Denver, Aspen, Vail, Beaver Creek, and Telluride, I can say that LA Taverne is my favorite dining establishment in the state of Colorado. I had what was quite possibly the best chicken dish of my life. Without a doubt, we highly recommend dining here if you're in the area."

"Absolutely breathtaking if you sit on the covered patio (sort of like a sun room? I'm not sure what you'd actually call it, but it was beautiful and the ceiling decor was gorgeous). The food was delicious. While the kids spaghetti seemed a little bland, it did come off of the kids menu, which I find to lack a lot of flavor in order to appeal to a wide variety of children. I ordered the tenderloin along with mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were extremely crunchy, much to the disdain of my daughter, who prefers a softer cook on her green beans. I thought they were delicious, but they could have used another minute or two on the heat to soften them up a tad more. The steak was spectacular. I can only imagine how good a more expensive cut would have tasted. The mashed potatoes were delicious as well. This was one of the pricier meals we had at the Broadmoor, but it was worth every penny for the quality of both the food and service we received. The drinks were delicious, though I ordered an old fashioned and was brought a manhattan. I never did receive the old fashioned, so I can't speak on that, but usually I'm not a fan of manhattans and this one was superb. For dessert, my daughter had the cookie with ice cream and I had the creme brûlée. Both were absolutely delicious, though my favorite was probably the creme brûlée. I've not had creme brûlée where the fruit was also in the custard before, and I thought that lent a nice touch to both the flavor and texture of the dessert."
