Like the others, this one has big screens to watch the game. But how can we turn our gaze away from Pikes Peak? 7114 Campus Drive\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver: Garden of the Gods Resort and Club<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resort\u2019s restaurants include Grand View, with a window-paneled dining room overlooking Garden of the Gods\u2019 red rock majesty. That exterior beauty is matched by a dazzling interior and elevated menu helping to set a fine dining standard in town. 3320 Mesa Road<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bronze: Patty Jewett Bar &amp; Grill\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Springs\u2019 historic golf course is also a go-to spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The kitchen keeps it simple with burgers, sandwiches, wings and tacos, and daily specials such as prime rib and chicken fried chicken are draws. But the ultimate draw might be the patio facing the greens and Pikes Peak. 900 E. Espanola St.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our recommendation: The Penrose Room\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just when we thought The Broadmoor couldn\u2019t possibly spoil guests even more, the reimagined Penrose Room opened in 2025. The experience harkens back to a history that started in 1961 \u2014 tableside service of beef Wellington, martinis and flamb\u00e9ed dessert \u2014 while the overall vibe is stunningly modern. The panoramic view, too, is timeless. The sun sets over the mountains, and the city lights twinkle with the stars. 1 Lake Ave.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diningandcooking.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/b1db872ca7b16ae639ff60f94354a2cf.jpg\" alt=\"ViewHouse Restaurant (Located at: 7114 Campus Dr.) \u201cFrench Onion Soup with Blackened Chicken\u201d Wednesday December 1, 2021.
