"If you live in Colorado Springs or you 're visiting and looking for a perfect dining out, then you must go to this restaurant! It 's definitely the best service, food and ambiance I 've experienced since relocating here five years ago! Joseph, the owner came to say hello and to tell us that the swordfish was the special, delicious and flown in today. We went on 3/23/2023 . I asked him if he was the owner and he said yes. His brother, I don 't remember his name served us. Impeccable grace, and service. I asked if he was his brother, because he kind of looked like Joseph and he said yes. He was thoroughly experienced and knowledgeable of the menu, which is quite extensive and unusual. It definitely has an Italian flare.Entrées prices were reasonable but I think the appetizer are an expensive side $20+ , but the quality is probably outstanding and would justify the price. I forgot to take a picture of the menu.Because we had gone to Lumin8 first for drinks and appetizers, we didn 't have appetizers at Joseph 's. I have one of the best martinis I 've had since I 've been in Colorado Springs. The absolute best martini I have had so far is at McKenzie 's Chophouse. this is definitely the next best if not equal, my date had the old fashion both were poured stronger than most places and very tasty. I don 't know what the prices on the alcohol were but I remember they were in the same range is everybody else about $14. Those are the specialty drinks. I don 't know what my martini cost but I got Hendrix gin, so probably about the same price. We were served fresh homemade rolls, or very good quality if not, homemade with whipped butter, and they were outstanding.He got the swordfish and it was outstanding. I got the surf and turf, which is ribeye and grilled shrimp. mine came with bacon, wrapped asparagus. It was amazing and grilled potatoes. He had grilled potatoes and vegetables with his. My steak was so delicious. I don 't even know what vegetables he had. I was too busy enjoying every single bite of my entrée. I tried his swordfish and it was really good as well. This was definitely the best steak I 've had since I 've been in Colorado Springs, and I 've been to MANY of the high-end restaurants. My steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The ambiance is romantic. The decorations are a bit outdated but charming, and work with the style of the restaurant. Instead of dessert, we had cocktail drinks. I had a brandy and he had Drambuie.Our bill was at $240! I would definitely go back for the entrées and skip the cocktails. probably I probably would have one glass of red wine with my steak if I got the same thing again. Which I would because it 's that good. Although there 's many other dishes, I would like to try. They have unique things on the menu, which is really a nice change from other restaurants. I think the prices were on the cocktails were a bit high. But no complaints on this fine dining delicious restaurant!"
