Description: You name the award, it’s won it. The Cliff House Dining Room can boast about its AAA four-diamond status, its DiRoNA Award, and its Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine, among others. Its New American cuisine draws locals, guests, and tourists looking for fine dining in charming Manitou Springs’s downtown. Situated in a historic hotel, built in 1874 and totally renovated in the 1990s, the dining room has Victorian character but strictly avant-garde cuisine. Classics like the chateaubriand, New York steak, or broiled salmon get modern twists from an innovative chef. Check out their extensive and award-winning wine list with more than 700 selections! If that doesn’t suit you, they also have a stunning array of vodka and single-malt Scotch offerings. Parking can be difficult in Manitou at certain times of the year, but the Cliff House valets will whisk your car to private parking upon your arrival—for free.
