The Margarita at Pine Creek

3 course meal style restaurant. Everything was delicious and i appreciate they have vegetarian options. The bread and butter were delicious but they could do better in the knives as it was easier to tear the bread apart. Drinks are strong which i can appreciate. Desserts were excellent. Will be back and highly recommend.

This place is such a gem! I took Donna Kay for a Mother’s Day tea - and I forgot to get pics of the cute tower of sandwiches and bakery goods. Our server was a woman, I think Dorothy, who’s been there for about 3 decades. The outside wasn’t open yet but looks amazing and they have farmers markets I’d love to go to! Support this local business (but get a reservation bc they’re BOOKED!)

Pretty good, very small portions and you usually must have a reservation. Atmosphere and staff is very friendly. Place can get loud the acoustics are bad. I ordered the steak, would order again. Definitely recommend.

Wow. Delish food and phenomenal service. Make reservations in advance. We have been trying to eat here for months

This restaurant made our NewYears experience wonderful our Gentlemen Server who assisted us was very untuned and polite, positive, respectful professional, informative we were there around 6:30 over to the left when you entered. We always feel welcomed and appreciate the atmosphere and opportunity to partake in the wonderful food and hospitality the restaurant offers. The food always comes out fresh, hot and delicious. The food and menu is worth the price. Every visit is worth it. I’m going to continue spreading and speaking about this great restaurant and all of the amazing food choices available with every meal occasion.

⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ | Disappointed Experience at Margarita at Pine Creek We recently dined at Margarita at Pine Creek for what should have been a special evening — our 10-year anniversary — but unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. To start, the food was simply mediocre at best, and for the price point, it was hard to justify. The flavors were underwhelming, the portions unimpressive, and the overall presentation lacked the finesse you’d expect from a place that positions itself as a fine dining spot. Dessert felt like an afterthought, not something crafted with care or creativity. It was forgettable — not the kind of sweet note you want to end a celebratory meal on. The brownie resembled a dry stale box brownie mix. The ambiance could really use an update or at the very least, a deep clean. Overall lighting and location not bad. Could be romantic if other things were fixed. Perhaps most disappointing was the service. Our server never asked if we were celebrating anything — not a huge deal on its own, but it was our anniversary, and we would’ve appreciated a simple acknowledgment. Instead, the service felt awkward and impersonal, more like we were going through the motions than being welcomed and cared for. There are far better restaurants in town, both in terms of food and experience, especially at this price level. Sadly, Margarita at Pine Creek did not live up to the occasion, or the bill.

I met a friend at this treasure. We've lived in the springs for thirty two years and have been here a long time ago. I had not been back until this friend suggested.We meet here. What a special place and so unique to colorado springs. It was the first time I ate out side and that was even more spectacular. The ambiance it's wonderful. The food it's delicious... Beautifully presented.... And made with fresh healthy ingredients.

Everything was amazing! Our waiter, Simon, was the perfect level of attentive and provided excellent recommendations. We dined outside and the atmosphere was so serene. The food was impeccable. Every dish was well balanced and perfectly executed. Highly recommend!

I went here with some friends and it definitely needs updates! If you sit outside bring mosquito repellent. We were there on June 18th and we left with some bites. This place could be so nice if they added some bight flowers and updated the place. Our server was great. Nice demeanor and friendly. We had the 4 course meal starting with the smoked chicken tortilla soup and that was the highlight of our meal. It was great! It had excellent flavor and the veggies were cooked to perfection. The salad with sesame dressing didn't really have any flavor. We had the New York strip and the meat was very chewy and the flavor was seriously lacking. It came with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The mashed potatoes were very salty and the broccolini was overcooked. The dessert we had the blackberry/rhubarb cobbler and the pancetta. Both were average, nothing special. With all of the great tasting food restaurants in Springs this would not be a place I'd come back to.

First time visiting for Sunday Brunch. I had such a great experience. The complimentary coffee cake and fruit cup was absolutely delicious - such a beautiful gesture on behalf of the restaurant. The french toast was delicious. The berry compote and lemon mascarpone complimented each other perfectly. My husband got the crab cake benedict - I would say it was one of the best crab cake benedicts I've ever had. The crab tasted fresh and moist but still a little crisp on the outside. Great food all around. Our server was Jeff. He was amazing! He made sure we were taken care of. He noticed the sun was on my back, and he moved an umbrella over without us asking. He made sure we were good on coffees and water. Very attentive and charismatic! The hostesses were so polite when checking in, and I made a future reservation while I was there and had some questions. The women were very helpful and polite. I'm very happy with how our experience went today. I can't wait to return next month.

Amazing!!! If you are reading this review, then you are probably considering going to Margarita at PineCreek for a fine dining and fixed menu experience. Trust me, call them now to make a same night reservation, then come back to finish this review. Service, fantastic! Food, outstanding!!! Ambiance, super welcoming and was great after a long day. Quiet and friendly. Could you tell any of this from driving by? No. They are tucked away off the road in what looks like an old parking lot. Don't let this take away from how nice of a restaurant this truly is. I had the four course fixed menu. This night they were offering two types of soup, two salads, four choices for an entrée and three deserts. I had the creamy carrot and ginger soup. I was skeptical at first, but the soup was really good. I could have eaten a few more bowls. Salad was very fresh with a poppyseed dressing with strawberries and pecans. I chose the Scottish salmon with a really good sauce and veggies. Decent portion, I was definitely running out of space half way through the dish, but I powered through. Desert was a lemon cake with raspberry sauce. Also just really fresh and delicious. This was one of the best dinners I've had out in a really long time. My wife traveled to the area for work not long ago and suggested I eat here since she really enjoyed it. Now that I'm here for work and staying at the hotel right across the street, I had to eat here, and I'm so glad I did. I'll be returning every time I'm in the area.

I was here for a veterinary lecture. When asking the wait staff what was vegan or if I was able to order something vegan they went above and beyond. I expected a salad but the chef made me a FULLY VEGAN entree. He made a delicious cauliflower steak with veggies and harissa sauce with focaccia bread. I was beyond impressed by this service and the detail oriented wait staff. The waiter took the extra time to make sure I had a good meal. This was beyond appreciated. I would go back.

We booked a table at the Margarita at pine creek last evening hoping for a pleasant dinner with out son and his wife. Instead we were subjected to such noise form groups of obnoxious tables that we could not carry on any conversation at all. If you are interested in that form of atmosphere I would suggest that you go to a sports bar or Texas Roadhouse at one third the price. We have been patrons of the Margarita at Pine creek since 1974 but we will not be returning. I give the restaurant one star.

Went for special Lobster Week. Mmm good. Had a spicy lobster tostada, lobster salad, lobster bisque, and lobster Thermador. So good! And not super expensive for all the courses. Dessert was included. A great value in a setting you'll never forget. Our server was excellent too!

We were looking forward to our outing at Margarita for a couple of weeks. They were celebrating Mardis Gras and we were welcomed at the door with beads! Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. Lunch began with a fresh fruit cup. Grapes, strawberries, and melon - crisp and tasty. They had wonderful cocktails to choose from and we enjoyed a hurricane, a Bloody Mary (with bacon!) and incredible old fashioned type of drink. (Not all for 1 person! But all people desired more. ) Appetizers was the best of the meal. Hindsight would have been helpful. Oder 3 of these I would say. With several gf items on the menu it was hard to pick one. Seeing fried green tomatoes, gf, I opted for those. Here's where a star was lost. They should be soft on the inside but 2 were like they were just picked off the vine. The eggs that came with the dish were good but they were served on an English muffin. Hello! Wheat on a gf dish is a no-no. A gf muffin was delivered later- too late to go with my eggs. My husband got the waffles with carmelized bananas. He said the bananas were not anything special. Dessert that's gf seems to always be a real issue. None were listed as such. I was able to choose one without the cookie attached. They replaced it with almonds which was a nice gesture. If we go next year I would choose more of a lunch choice and skip the eggs. And definitely the fried green tomatoes!

They take care of their reputation the "old fashioned way": They EARN it . Thanks, Patti

Excellent service, ambience and food. It's a good deal for lunch. Bread/cheese, entree , soup or salad and dessert for $19 or $20. The server was very helpful and pleasant.

Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Warm and generous service! We were celebrating my husband's birthday and I recall them providing a dessert trio on the house!

We heard about this place from friends we were visiting in the area and they told us it was good. We were staying at the BW so it was really close. We loved it. Unbelievable service and food. And I'm not sure how to describe their ambiance except to say it was romantic and private.

Several of us went there for their Easter Brunch. Great service - awesome waiter - great drinks. We all loved our food which was served in 4 courses. Nice atmosphere.

I went here for my birthday dinner and was so impressed! All four courses were amazing. I had a New York strip which was so tender and juicy. Highly recommend getting the Malbec.

Chicken sesame salad was different in taste and quantity from pre-Covid. I was very disappointed. Dining room had a Damp odor. Overall an average experience.

Amazing experience, and the staff and food always great. The restaurant is a treasure! Very unique restaurant with beautiful views. Very relaxing atmosphere.

So amazing!!! You won't find a more intimate dining space with AMAZING hand crafted food anywhere else. Can't wait for the basement lounge to reopen for some burgers and brews. If you're in the mood for brunch, save room for a Bloody Mary and the complimentary coffee cake.

Well I'm in shock! Shocked that I hadn't completely a review for The Margarita. So I'll start by saying if you have not gone to this place you should. You should also check out their calendar for special events. This is on their website. The do wine special wine dinners, wine tastings and such. Those are always great and the regular menu is always good to! The main level is really interesting with nooks and crannies a fun and interesting place to dine. They have a downstairs where the have the special dinners and a spectacular outside patio. This is the place to eat and drink weather permitting. So please review the picture menu I included. Every item was great and gives an idea of what they do. Check the website for more. https://www.margaritaatpinecreek.com So if you not tried The Margarita at Pine Creek you should. And last...A sort of disclaimer, I am not an owner or have any vested interest in the place other than I like it and in these tuff times I don't want them to suffer

Food was outstanding. service was impeccable. If you are in the area, get a reservation and have brunch. Drinks were delectable. As mentioned by someone else, they brought us a small bowl of fruit and a large piece of coffeecake while we waited for our brunch order to be prepared. All scrumptious. The ambiance was delightful. Even though, they had no more availability for a reservation- the restaurant was not full. It was easy to converse and enjoy our delicious meal.

The service was great. I love that place I have been going there since 1976 when I moved here . It's always that special place you take people on special occasion . But today my food was not very good I had Egg Rockefeller and the eggs were raw and you really couldn't tell with all the cheese on it

Great ambiance and service for a quiet lunch or dinner inside or out. Many small alcoves and spaces for an intimate and unique meal.

Dinner for nine. I had the Stuffed Roasted Poblano Dinner. Several other members of our group had Steak and the Orange Roughy. We had salads and Tomato bisque with the crab dip and a Mediterranean platter for appetizers. Everything was delicious. Service was amazing as always. We love the Margarita At Pine Creek.

Outstanding food and service. Loved our experience here. The 6 of us ate outside, first time eating there. Definitely go again.

The atmosphere is so WEST with a MOUNTAIN view to die for! The food was fresh. The menu was limited and enough to choose an excellent meal. Service was great!

We love the Margarita and have been customers since the 80's. The quality and service has been consistently fabulous. It is a very relaxed experience. We had a wonderful pork chop that was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The tomato bisque was fresh and hearty. We have always enjoyed the salads with their sesame dressing. It's always fun to see the menu line up and have never been disappointed. The only thing that could be improved is making reservations which are required. There is no online scheduling and often no way to leave a message. When I'm busy, it is hard to remember to call back if there is no immediate answer, but be persistent and you wont be disappointed.

Good quality fish and meats - we had salmon, pork tenderloin and steak - all great cuts, cooked perfectly in creative styles. Fresh veggies, tasty sauces and yummy soups. Bread tasted very fresh and desserts were all quite delectable. Pleasant ambiance. Friendly staff.

Love love love this hidden gem. Tucked away right off of i-25 the ambiance is cozy and fun. The prefix menu is delicious but the brunch is my favorite! They serve coffee cake at the table instead of bread. Really enjoy this spot every time we go.

Unique and fun atmosphere. So much more interesting than all the cookie cutter breakfast and brunch places. Every table feels special and private. Good food. Excellent service. Bloody Marys are awesome. A bit pricey but worth it.

Love this quirky, southern-style restaurant. The farm market on Saturdays has to be one of my favorite things to do! Then a scrumptious lunch on the expansive patio with $4 shredded pork tacos. They have a nice brunch selection, including coffee cake and egg puffs, but I try and stay keto. Altered to meet covid guidelines, it's a safe, charming environment to laze away a few Saturday hours listening to toe-tapping music . . . this week Acme Bluegrass. This is a Colorado Springs must see!

Hubby and I met a group of friends for brunch. This was our first time here and was not disappointed. Hubby had the sausage eggs Benedict and I had the Huevos rancheros, both were delish and generous portions. The Bloody Mary's we're on point! Very clean inside and out and friendly staff. It was threatening to rain and they moved us inside, they were prepared. Thank you for a great experience!

Our evening simply couldn't have been better! On Friday night, March 15, I hosted a dinner party for my husband's 75th birthday. We had several family members that came from out-of-town to help us celebrate. I am not exaggerating to say, there isn't a place in town that could have offered us better food, service or ambiance. Jeff was our server, and nearly every family member commented on his exceptional manner. So personable, timely, careful attention to detail. The music, the meal, our precious time together will be a memory we will never forget. Thank you, Margarita At Pine Creek, for even going beyond what I had hoped for.

Margaritas is a MUST for a delicious dining experience. Our server Ashley was as amazing as the food. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!

This is a well hidden local gem and unless you have heard about it through word-of-mouth you wouldn't know what a superb dining experience it is! We had a three course meal and it was perfection. The menu changes constantly so you're never sure exactly what they will be offering, but everything that they offer is top notch. On our visit the soup du jour was mushroom bisque. The depth of flavor was a delight to my palate. Perfection. For dinner he had the Pan Roasted Scottish Salmon, which included basmati rice, lemon and thyme brown butter, roasted tomatoes, wild mushrooms and lemon herb aioli. I had the grilled New York strip which included mashed potatoes, guajillo chile-sherry jus, shallots, roasted corn and smoked bacon, chimichurri butter. It doesn't mention it but whole pieces of garlic were mixed in and were sooo freaking tasty! We both enjoyed our dinners immensely. I have a hard time ordering steak out because I feel like I can grill a better steak at home the majority of the time, but the flavors on my plate were FANtastic. This entire meal was truly one of the best meals I've had in Colorado Springs. I can compare it only to the Broadmoor which is a different dining experience but equal in the caliber of delight to the taste buds without the price tag. For dessert he had a pumpkin apple streusel cake with caramel and cinnamon swirl ice cream, and I had the Panna cotta with fresh strawberries and shortbread. Both were divine. It actually made me giggle it was so tasty. Our service was spot on. Prompt but not overbearing. There was a loud group present the Wednesday night that we were here, but if it wasn't for that loud party it would've been a romantic and very relaxing atmosphere. Everything about the actual dinner was perfect. We were told they have live music on the weekends, and there was a band in the bar area on the Wednesday night we were there, but we wanted the full dining experience instead of the bar experience.

Our new favorite Sunday brunch place!!! Absolutely wonderful with reasonable prices between $10 and $20. Meal is served, not buffet style, which we like. Before your meal is served, they bring each person delicious warm coffee cake and fresh fruit. If you need gluten-free, just ask for double fruit. Everyone in our group loved their entree, from eggs Benedict to French toast and everything in between. Bloody Marys and Mimosas were excellent. Make reservations to guarantee your table!

Incredible food, beautiful atmosphere best falafel I've ever had and the chefs item free bread will have you asking for more!

This is the perfect date spot. Such great food and an eclectic atmosphere. It has a unique ambiance and offers a romantic vibe. The staff genuinely cares about you and your needs.

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here last night. The setting is beautiful- love the restaurant ambiance- perfect for a date or celebration. We both ordered the five course meal- it was fantastic! Each meal was cooked and prepared perfectly. They also have us an extra dessert for our anniversary. This place is now one of our favorites! Make reservations!

I had something I didn't like last time I was here for Sunday brunch. Everything else on the table looked and was reported to be delicious. I ordered Huevos Rancheros and it was an unusual presentation. Everyone else had Benedicts of one kind or another. Bloody Mary was delicious and generously garnished and we were provided with a coffee cake and fruit dish prior to our entrees arriving. We went again this Sunday and I ordered the Steak and Eggs which was wonderful, with well-sized steak, poached eggs, home fries and asparagus served with hollandaise sauce. Very good--scratch that, better than just good. Had another well-garnished Bloody Mary. Meat, cheese, pepper, olive onion and pickle were on the garnish skewer. They had an extensive menu of eye-opening cocktails, way beyond just Bloody Mary and Mimosa typical of most places.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. She orderd the steak which was around 8-10 oz of delicious. I orderd the pork chop which was the best I've ever had. Super juicy with a beautiful crust. Amazing. The atmosphere is awesome and cozy, the serving staff was very attentive. Definitely will go again

Menu varies based on the meal you choose (brunch/dinner). Some unusual choices worth trying (I have had a dish or two I felt didn't quite hit the mark). The buildings are unique and colorful...comfortable and intimate.

A long time favorite, food is beyond stellar, service is as well. A perfect occasion restaurant but also perfect for just because meals. We have done for brunch, lunch, dinner and happy hour many, many times. The Margarita and meals shared there are part of our family history. Just thinking of all the lovely times spent dining on the patio is making me think I need to make a dinner reservation sooner, rather than later

We have been going to Margaritas at Pine Creek for many years. It is a unique locally owned restaurant. I have to say though the chef has to go. There were 9 of us. This is what happened: Hair in salad Tough lamb- one was under cooked one was over cooked and had a lot of gristle. (Got sick over night) Tough over cooked steak Very dry pork and over cooked Mushy vegetables Had Two glasses of wine was charged $10 and on the menu it said it was $8. The price was very high as well. I hate to put this on line but I couldn't leave any message to tell the owner so that tells me they don't want any feedback. There was no opportunity for me to leave a message.

When I first walked into the restaurant I thought this place isn't like I thought it would be. Once we were served it changed my mind. Excellent presentation of food and delicious our waiter Danny was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place it's really a nice Tucktaway change of pace restaurant

This restaurant was a recommendation from two separate groups so we decided to try it out. We were NOT DISAPPOINTED! It's such a quaint spot and the food was delicious. We did the three course menu and each course was bursting with flavor. We especially liked the fresh Palisade peaches on their shortbread dessert. We will absolutely return!

I took a few friends here for a birthday lunch during the week and it was very busy- make a reservation. It's very busy because it's great food. If you need a big selection this is not for you. They start with a loaf of wheat bread and pimento cheese spread: who wouldn't love this- it's too delish. I love that the menu is Prix Fixe for 3 courses- soup or salad, entree and dessert. You get to pick from several entrees and they are all very good, interesting and nice portions. We had a ginormous chicken salad, a ricotta torte and salmon tacos. The chef obviously takes care with the food and the presentation- kudos to them. Pound cake for dessert- what's not to like? The interior is charming- like eating in a stucco house with different rooms. The service was prompt and attentive. I love this place!

Last night my wife and I went to dinner at Margarita at Pine Creek for our wedding anniversary. Since we were wanting a nicer dinner and enjoy a coursed meal from time to time, this seemed like a good choice, especially since it had been a few years since our last visit. We made an early dinner reservation and were seated quickly once we arrived. Shortly after, two women were sat at a table on the other side of the room. Their server appeared and gave them the usual spiel, asking if they had been in before and pouring them water. Their server waxed on about how she had worked there for some thirty-five years and then came her "subtle" micro-aggression, saying something to the effect of them obviously "not being a Mexican restaurant, thank goodness!" Unsure about what she meant by this, my wife, who is Mexican herself, fought back tears for a majority of the meal and both of us teetered back and forth on whether we should even stay for a meal. I offered up that maybe she had said that because it wasn't the restaurant's specialty and not because perhaps she believed fine dining was not a place for Mexican food. And yet on the back of the menu we found "birria" which, of course, is a dish with roots in Mexico. Ultimately, we stayed for a meal and a bottle of wine, though we both had a sort of sense of regret about doing so this morning when we discussed it. At best, the food was lackluster with a less than innovative menu. Our own server did a fine job, but the best service came from the gentleman who brought us our wine. Considering the price point and the opinions of their long-lasting employee, I can't say that this is a restaurant we'll be returning to.

I wish I could do half stars because I would go 3.5 stars because it's in between average and very good. The restaurant is nice, but the ambiance was not fine dining. I made a reservation for my birthday, and I saw the note on the reservation list, but the hostess seemed confused about the note and the staff did not do anything birthday-ish. I had a great server who did his best to check on me. The restaurant offered a 3-course and 4-course option, and both were priced well. I chose the 3 course with salad, entree, and dessert. The Asian salad was delicious as was the fresh bread. I had the steak with mashed potatoes and zucchini, all of which was average, then topped with sauted spinach, which was horribly salty. The desserts were phenomenal! My awesome waiter let me try two, so I highly recommend the almond cake and the chocolate mousse napolean (though I would be happier with just mousse and no phyllo dough).

We love the architecture of this place because of the privacy it affords and we love the food. But it is the service that sets it apart. Five stars for sure.

Amazing food! We ordered it for Mother's Day yesterday. The service was great! We didn't have to wait at all for our food to be brought to us. Everything tasted delicious! I got the tomato basil soup, the vegetable pierogis, spinach salad, and chocolate cream brûlée. Everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend ordering from them for a special occasion.

This is one of the consistently best dining experiences in Colorado Springs! The Exec Chef and the pastry chef are both amazingly creative with delicious end results. The setting is magical and unique both inside and out, and the service usually very attentive. Thanksgiving menu was fantastic!
