The pizza had a perfect crust. It is enjoyable to watch it being made. The spaghetti with little neck clams had a very nice sauce.

We had a GREAT experience today. My 90 yo parents were meeting their first great grandchild after traveling to CO from PA. We were given a room on a sunny patio with a quiet atmosphere. We were accommodated with a place for my daughter's wheelchair and the new grandbaby's high chair. Our server (I am blanking her name right now) was OUTSTANDING, very attentive and responsive to our requests. She was fantastic. The food was also amazing and the portions were very generous. A GREAT lunch with a wonderful server, fantastic food and a family memory! THANK YOU for hosting this fun event!

The food was good but not great. Service was excellent. The setting was beautiful but the energy was so great that it was difficult to converse.

Part of the Broadmoor, you can count on rather pricey food so that is a given. But the food was REALLY good. We ate lunch here on a cold day in November. I recommend the BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp small plate which I had as my entree, my husbands Vidalia onion rings were outstanding and there was more than enough for the 3 of us. My son loved his boar nachos. Great service, lovely location.
