The Historic Alpine Lodge

We have always had a wonderful meal at Alpine! We are Westcliffe residents & it is definitely our go to restaurant for a special meal or to bring out of town guests for a delicious meal. We always enjoy the drink special, that they usually use some fresh fruit. Anything they cook with Elk is always our favorite! With family salad, delicious soup & yummy warm sweet bread, you leave satisfied & full!! The views are amazing. We love the local servers, but just like everywhere right now, you need to have some patience & just enjoy the view & your meal!

Service and view are lovely but the price is too high for diner food. Family friendly for lunch. Not where I would take a date for dinner.

Outstanding food and service in a beautiful setting. As fine a restaurant as you'll find anywhere in Colorado. We dine there often.

We've gone up to Alpine Lodge twice. Once was six months ago. We recall it being a fine experience and we loved the French onion soup enough to want to come back for it. This time we walked in and asked to sit at the bar. The staff didn't know if they could help us so we sat at the empty bar fifteen minutes until we heard them whispering to each other about take out. We asked the staff if we should get a table instead and they told us in rude tone they could not seat us but we could order take out, and told us no service. We said no thanks and drove back to town and got regular friendly service somewhere else. We are confused and don't understand why they treat patrons this way, never seen it before. All we wanted was a bowl or two of the soup and a glass of wine, how is this not a win win? We are unlikely to drive up the mountain again to roll the dice with this place.

We had an excellent experience at the historic Alpine Lodge in Westcliff, Co. With reservations we were seated immediately upon arrival. Tables were spaced in accordance with Covid rules and hand sanitizer was provided on each table. Our server greeted us within a minute of being seated to get our drink order. The service was incredible. The timing of food to our table was perfect, not too fast and not slow. Warm , pretzel shaped bread was served immediately and it was yummy! I had to stop myself, I could have stuffed the whole thing down it was so good. The potato soup was delicious and salad was crisp and fresh. My husband's meal was ribs and mine the 6 ounce filet. We shared our sides of mashed potatoes and sweet potato wedges. We both really loved the sweet potatoes, both side dishes are really good. Dinners also include fresh veggies. We were too full for dessert but watched it delivered to nearby tables and it looked amazing. The overall experience was perfect. People in Westcliff are very nice and friendliness did not disappoint at The Historic Alpine Lodge. We will go back every time we stay in the beautiful town of Westcliff.

The Alpine Lodge never disappoints! Great food, great views, fantastic staff. If they are serving Beef & Barley soup...just say "yes"...you're welcome. Sometimes they have local Elk steaks and they have other fabulous specials as well solid menu items. The Chicken Fried Steak is awesome and the pastas are all excellent. Worth the beautiful mountain drive.

Nice cozy place to have a evening meal with friends. We all ordered different things, rainbow trout, fried chicken, ribs & Cornish hen. We all liked what we ordered the waitress was knowledgeable and you won't go away hungry you get two side plus soup and salad bar included in your meal price. Best part was the homemade chocolate & cherry cheesecake.

We visited the Alpine Lodge on Mothers Day (I recommend getting a reservation) and had great steaks and a wonderful meal. The staff are all smiling and personable. If you get a chance check it out.

I'm not sure what is happening here, because they used to be pretty good, but last night was a disaster. We had a large party, made reservations and showed up a little early. We decided to sit in the bar to wait. We sat there for 20 minutes and had no one approach us, not for drinks, not to tell us the status of our table, nothing. Once we were seated, we waited another 20 minutes before a server ever came to our table. Our food did come out fairly quickly but none of us finished our meals because only one of us actually enjoyed theirs. The shrimp was just frozen shrimp that was fried, salmon was tasteless, green beans had little or no flavor, and my ribeye was so tough I only ate a few bites before giving up. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

I have been going here for as long as I can remember when I am in town. It never disappoints! In years past, you could walk in, but we have needed reservations for the last handful of years. Be patient if nobody answers the phone, they will call back if you leave a message. The food is always great and the staff is friendly!
