Best "Reclamation of a Good View"
by the Colorado Springs Independent (10.16.08)
"When Café 36 first opened last year, I couldn't help but cheer. An exceptional building and pristine views waited for the perfect food match. Alas, it wasn't to be. Dull menu items and bland dishes left a bad taste in my mouth and eventually closed the café for a short stint. But thanks to new overseer Garden of the Gods Gourmet, the sky is a little bluer, trees a little greener and the food a whole lot more exciting. Rising to the level of art, lunch is now worth talking about — and definitely worth eating."
Gazette Review:
“New Café 36 menu at museum shines with fantastic dishes, flair … (it is) full of fresh, delicious food presented with the visual flair befitting an art museum … order the three-course, $20 prix fixe and you get a tremendous value." Read the full review here
Independent Review:
“With Café 36 being an art gallery eatery, I all along expected to see culinary creations worth talking about … I wasn’t disappointed. You’ll get the feeling that the people in the kitchen are sweating their hounds-tooth pants off for you. The passion comes through." Read the full review here
Café 36 was named for the restaurant’s unique and historic setting; the Fine Arts Center was built in 1936 and is listed on the National Registry for Historic Places.
