La Taverne

We went for dinner last night and everything was fantastic! We had a wonderful server Guillermo who made sure we were well taken care of. He was funny, nice and attentive and gave great recommendations. Half of our table ordered the French onion soup. It was delicious! The cheese on top was perfectly crusty and they gave you scissors to cut the cheese pull with. I ordered the scallops for dinner and my husband had the short ribs. My scallop dish was delicious and perfectly cooked. The sauce in the bottom of the plate was scrumptious, I could have had that as a bowl of soup! I thought the short ribs could have been more tender but they were still very very good! Overall fantastic first experience at the Broadmoor

La Taverne is inside the Broadmoor. It's a beautiful restaurant.I've attached a picture of our menu. First course was a choice between dungeness crab bisque and french onion soup, but both were over salted. I got the bisque and while it was creamy and had a few chunks of crab meat, the salt really overpowered everything and i could only eat a few bites. They also served bread, but the bread itself was quite tough.For my entree, I got the halibut en persillade which was also very salty. The green sauce was also not my favorite (zucchini puree) but it came with a tomato and saffron "broth" which was pleasant.I heard that the colorado red bird 1/2 chicken entree was good, but I didn't get to try it.For dessert, the waitstaff didn't really wait for people to order their dessert early on or prompt people to choose a dessert. So a lot of our party didnt get dessert (even though it should 100% be included anyway, especially in a pre fixe menu).... but I managed to get the cremeux a la vanille et aux fruits rouges.This was probably the best part of the meal, even though i wasnt a huge fan of the crust underneath the cremeux. I also got a lychee spritz which was yummy! No flaws there. I would just try a different menu.

We had an early flight into Colorado Springs and this lunch was our first meal of the day. The restaurant had a beautiful sunroom where we ate. I ordered the French onion soup and you guys... they gave me fancy scissors! I was like umm what even is this for? It's for the CHEESE! The soup was the best French onion I've ever had in my life. The scissors actually were very handy to cut the cheese as I ate the soup. We also had shrimp cocktail and my bf had the steak. Everything was great! There was a family celebrating a birthday, so I think it's that kind of special occasion restaurant. We didn't visit the bar area but they had fresh oysters which looked really good. The servers were super nice and checked on us often.

If you're vegetarian or vegan your options here are extremely limited. Thankfully I saw one option on the menu: mushroom bolognese. They were able to make the dish without cheese and it was pretty good. It would be nice if more options could be added to the menu and ones that would include plant based protein. The ambiance was very nice with dim lighting and a live guitar player. Our server was very nice and helpful. La Taverne is the place to go if you're looking for somewhere expensive with meat and seafood options.

We come to the Broadmoor about once a year and usually do our large family dinners at the Tavern (La Taverna). This evening our waiter Roy was on point with our service and more than accommodating to requests and making sure the kids were happy. For those of you who do not have kids, there is some anxiety with taking the younger ones out to a nice dinner as they can easily derail the evening and having staff that make sure they are having a good time relieves that pressure. We ordered a variety of items including steaks, some vegetarian pasta's, pork chops, and a few side dishes and everything was delicious. My tenderloin was cooked perfectly to a medium rare and the bearnaise sauce was exactly the rich and creaminess that I was craving. The atmosphere at the tavern is also great and the fact that they have been serving patrons at this location during times when most arrived by horse or train adds to that old world nostalgia. I would argue that they also have some of the best french fries as they are shoestring cut, crispy, with just the right amount of salt.

This restaurant is inside the broadmoor. It should have 4-5 star rating but it's barely a three......here's why. We came with a group of 27. We made the reservation over a month before we arrived. That means the kitchen should have been aware and ready to handle our large group. It was also a Tuesday night. The menu was set. An appetizer, main and dessert. The appetizer took a long time to arrive. Let me back up a bit, the server took a long while to take our food order and we ordered all courses at the same time. The appetizer then took a long time to arrive. Then it took a long while for the main course to arrive. I ordered the prime rib, which when it arrived was very undercooked. I get prime rib its supposed to be rare but this was 1-2 steps below rare. I had to send it back. My potato was covered with enough sour cream for 4 potatoes. Everyone else who ordered the prime rib had to send it back as well. The service was ok when he was around, it would be long gaps between anyone coming to check on us. For the amount of money they are charging the service should be more polished. The level of service was on par for a mid level steakhouse not a high end one. The wine list was basic, should have been much better and also very overpriced. And they were missing a lot of our preferred choices. Overall food was average or worse almost raw. Service needs to be more polished. They need to speed things up or plan better. Also they charged us 26 percent gratuity!!!! That's the most I've ever seen for a large group in the regular dining room not a private room. Improve the wine list. Barely a 3. That's me being nice. There has to be better choices anywhere else.

This restaurant is a staple at the Broadmoor, timeless and unchanged for a 100 years. Even some of the dishes remain unchanged since the restaurant opened. Our favorite was the prime rib. Not fatty or overcooked and it came with sides. The seafood was very fresh and delicious as well. Which surprised me considering that seafood and Colorado Springs are not synonymous.Can't wait to return :)

We've been to La Taverne at The Broadmoor a few times and have always had Tyler as our server. Not only is her personality infectious, but she's knowledgeable about the menu, the hotel, and the restaurant itself. We love coming here to see her as we know we'll be welcomed with a smile! She made such an impact on my husband and I during one dinner and we knew we had to have her at our wedding - and she made it happen!! She showed up, again with a smile, and made our night. The service at the Broadmoor is always something to be acknowledged, but when one single person makes such an impact, it should be recognized. Oh yeah - the food is pretty good too! Make sure to get the French Onion Soup!

We enjoyed this experience and the ambience was smart casual with beautiful flowers surrounding the room. We skipped appetizers because we had a late lunch. The wine selection by the glass was good and the pour was generous. My wife ordered the shrimp which was an appetizer for her entree. A side order of a popover which was part of the prime rib dish was ordered as a side order which the restaurant were good enough to cater to. I ordered a medium prime rib which came with a baked potato, a popover with jus and horseradish sauce. The food was excellent but it could have been warmer - it was just the cool side of warm. The server was good and just attentive enough.

Such a lovely place. Haley was wonderful and checked in on us often. Went for lunch and drinks were amazing, wish they had more vegan/vegetarian options but overall, so wonderful. If you go, ask for seating at the garden (it's indoors)
