Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Palmer Lake

Food was yummy & had lots of vegan options. Everything was well seasoned & the menu was thoughtful. Staff was great, our server Connor was so lovely and came around the perfect amount of times. It was very loud, which made conversation a bit difficult. I also loved the funky bathrooms! We ordered several dishes & drinks & everything was fresh, tasted great, and presented well. Overall very good experience, just packed and loud :)

From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Casandra, provided some of the best service we’ve ever received—attentive, thoughtful, and truly invested in ensuring we were satisfied with both our meal and overall experience. The food was exquisite, and the presentation was on point. Sangria tasted great. Even as we were leaving, the gratitude from the entire team, including the kitchen staff, was evident. More restaurants should take note of the outstanding hospitality at El Five. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything, EXCEPT my Waygu, $98.00 filet steak, was very good. That was the outlier on our January 25 birthdaydinner, where I had the regular filet. Both filets were very disappointing. Shanahan's has always been our "go to" to enjoy the BEST steaks, but not anymore. I'll give them one more try before finding a new best steak place.

High Tea at The Brown is a 25 yr long family tradition for us. We love the luxurious lobby with live piano music. Tea itself is fantastic with each diner getting a pot of their choosing. And the food is exquisite! Delicious, beautiful & plentiful. We look forward to special occasions where we can be served by our favorite hostess, Hiwat, who brings her sparkling personality and charming smile to the table. She is always a joy to see and makes our time at the Brown Palace so very special. Thank you for making our celebrations all the more joyful!

Spectacular service and inspired, delicious food Four of us dined at Tavernetta and shared everything, Everything was delectable, and here are a few of our favorites. The ravioli - melted in your mouth Pasta al forno - was gnocchi baked with several different cheese, a treat that was both light and had substance Bronzino - beautifully presented and cooked perfectly The service was sooo good - wait staff described dishes with complete food and preparation knowedge, and steered us to the right number of dishes to order. All the servers were gracious, personable, and always available without hovering. We will definitely be back.
