Restaurant 1858

The trek and price was worth it!I knew that it was shuttle van ride up to 7 Falls. The ride itself is about 10 minutes to the park and then either a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive.The restaurant had a rustic feel. Lots of historic photos, paintings, even a almost 50-year-old mountain lion!We were warned on our way up that the altitude makes 1 alcoholic drink feel like 2. Those cocktails were well-made! The tough decision was deciding which of the 7 ways to have the trout. Hubby got fried and I went with grilled. I just wish I could've tried them all!Excellent attentive service.Beautiful view of the bottom 2 falls behind the restaurant.

Ambiance is nice and relaxing seated outside under covered patio.Service was EXTREMELY slow, kind of unbearably slow that everyone at the table was getting ancy. Although server was very friendly, each process was ~20 minute wait. From waiting for drinks, ordering food, receiving food, receiving silverware, drink refills.Food unfortunately was a miss for everyone at the table. Food options are limited at the restaurant and the ones they had were not very good. It was extremely pricey for what it was with the taste being so disappointing. It feels like they don't care about taste because they are the only real restaurant there and as such can overcharge for guests for below par food. If you like tortilla soup, don't get it here you will be severely disappointed. Left most of it unfinished. BBQ onion rings are a unique twist on onion rings that starts off good, but ends up being too much after a couple. The BBQ is a little too heavy handed. Do yourself a favor and eat before you check out Seven Falls.

Took the girlfriend here in a date night a few months back. Everything was outstanding. The drinks were delicious, food was amazing, and service was great. Made a reservation and we were sat quickly and checked on often. The restaurant atmosphere was the rustic hunting cabin feel that we love. Walking around the grounds and seeing the waterfalls after dinner to help dinner settle. Awesome dinner date night. Will definitely be going back.

Returned to 1858 and this time the service was quite improved. I think matching the staffing levels to the amount of restaurant guests is key. The setting and atmosphere is what keeps me coming back; it's a gorgeous spot However, the steak was truly lackluster - seriously, a good deal of it wound-up back on my plate half-chewed; an attentive server would've noticed something was wrong. I didn't want to cause a ruckus and let it slide, but (jeez) they have to provide *much* better cuts.

We finally got to dine at Restaurant 1858. Last time we visited Seven Falls, the restaurant closed early for a private event. The onion rings were definitely worth the visit alone - they have a bbq dry seasoning on them. They tasted like an onion ring version of bbq chips. Soooo good.My husband and I both got the trout but different preparations. We were both underwhelmed with our meals. My friend, however, got the steak and frites which was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely get the steak next time. The frites were more like potatoes wedges with the same bbq seasoning as the onion rings.The dining experience was very nice and slow paced. Our server, Sydney, provided five-star service. She was definitely worth the automatic 20% gratuity. I do have mixed feelings about auto gratuity, but I really can't complain since service was A+.Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here, but I would return if friends or family wanted to visit Seven Falls for their first time and dine here as part of the Seven Falls experience.

Aside from price, The restaurant food, ambiance, and service were excellent! Reservations were easy to make via OpenTable which I reserved for a party of six (3 couples). I made our reservation with plenty of time to hike up and enjoy all Seven Falls had to offer. The scenic walk up was beautiful and made for memorable pictures. By the time we made it up, we had about 45 minutes till our reservation time. Fortunately, the restaurant was ready for us as we were all ready to eat lunch. We were greeted well coming in and were seated promptly. Our host was welcoming and so was our server, Angela. Angela provided the best service with excellent recommendations which we all took when we ordered. No one at the table was disappointed and we left full and satisfied. The staff was friendly, courteous, professional. The restaurant was clean with cool pictures all around to keep you interested. At the end, we all enjoyed our time.

Beautiful ambience. The waitstaff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Please note that the restaurant charges a 20% service fee. No need to add extra tip unless you feel like it. Our waitress told us about it before we checked out. I had the hikers salad for lunch and it was very filling and flavorful. My husband had the wild boar green chili with jalapeño cornbread. I tasted it and was surprised that it was not as spicy like the green chili we had in New Mexico. My husband does not like spicy food so that was good. It tasted absolutely delicious. The cornbread was also very good.

We ate here for dinner when we got rained out during our exploring the Seven Falls Waterfall. We had to wait 30min while the restaurant was setting up for dinner at 5pm. The ambiance was quiet and cozy. Our waiter was Nick and he was awesome and kind. It seems as though they change their menu often upon asking Nick about dish recommendations.After our order was placed; we were served jalapeño cornbread and rolls with house-made butter while we waited. The cornbread was our favorite! For our main course we chose the Wood Grilled Honey Spiced Muscovy Duck Breast $52. The duck and the sides were delicious! I highly recommend it to those who like duck. When visiting Colorado Springs/Seven Falls I'd definitely go back. You can only access the restaurant by shuttle if staying at The Broadmoor Resort or taking the tram up the hill. To my knowledge you have to purchase a Seven Falls admission ticket to get on the property for the $2 tram. I am not sure if different rules apply when staying at the resort. Seven Falls admission w/o tram for adults is $18. $20 adult admission with tram via Seven Falls.

We came to this restaurant while staying at the Broadmoor in November.The 1858 is at the base of 7 Falls. It is an easy walk to get to the restaurant. The restaurant is pleasant and welcoming. We had a celiac in our group, and they were very attentive to her needs. We had cocktails, and they were delicious- esp the hot cider. The service was excellent. The food was ok. My burger was a bit on the dry side. My husband enjoyed his. The fries were very much "shoestring style". The prices were what you would expect for a resort restaurant .I would probably go again, just for the ambience, but would try something different.

Ambiance is definitely hard to beat as everybody noted! But even better was the service and the food. The waitress was incredibly quick and attentive. She gave excellent recommendations for the food!! The steak was cooked to perfection. Fish crushed with granola was so unique but well balanced & tasted incredible! Nothing to go home about on salads, but the bacon wrapped shrimp was a 12/10!We definitely recommend trying the chocolate ball with coconut cream if you like those-- it's so delicious and worth it! Make sure you make reservations prior!!
