"04/06/2024My husband and I ate here since it’s near-by and we were craving pasta.Appetizers:I enjoyed the mozzarella bites. The breading had a light flavor and texture which was nice. The marinara sauce was excellent!The bruschetta was good, I liked that the bread was chargrilled. They currently have a $13 for two on select appetizers which was nice!Shrimp Portofino:I really enjoyed my entree! The sauce was good, there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of pine nuts, the spinach was perfectly sautéd and the shrimps were huge and juicy. My only critique would be that the capellini were broken so it was difficult to grab, even with fork spoon.Penne Rústica:My husband didn’t thoroughly enjoy his dish. He liked the sauce and the chicken but whatever they garnish on the top, was very strong in flavor and not in a good way. Tasted sour, fermented. I believe it was a bell pepper garnish with cheese.I tried it, it was strong. I am use to strong flavors and I can see how it could be off-putting. It was borderline.He didn’t like the prosciutto. I didn’t try it but it looked like tough, chewy pieces.Our Waitstaff was very kind, sweet helpful."

Ordered the chicken marsala, it asked me to if I’d like to substitute broccolini for pasta, which I selected and the meal came with no pasta, no asparagus which both are included in the meal.

I had lunch with a friend last week. The food was good, but I felt it was overpriced at $80. It seemed a bit too expensive for what we received. I don’t think I’ll be going back. The restaurant was mostly empty during our visit.

This was overall a pleasant visit. Food was quite good and the restaurant wasn't too busy. Shout out to Rachel who offered very positive, friendly and overall welcoming service. Overall feels the establishment improved quite a bit since our previous visit. We would happily come back again. View menu

The food quality has gone down tremendously. Ate there last night and first batch of my wife's lasagna came out burned second batch was mush. The penne rustica tasted like something had fermented. We only ate it because we were very hungry otherwise we would have gone elsewhere. Don't eat here

Waited 15 minutes in the Togo area, had to call the store to get anyone to help. After bagging my food I was told they just needed to grab my drinks. Waited another 10 minutes as I watched the employee who was making my drinks tend to other people. Had to ask another employee to finish out my order that I have been waiting for 25 minutes now. Terrible customer service everytime I come in.

I loved this place in the 90s, and it is still so delicious. I had the salmon and the bibb Bleu salad which were both awesome. My dad had the shrimp potofino with mushrooms and angel hair. We finished with cheese cake and chocolate cake. So so good and no wait at all!!Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and quiet. The kids got crayons and a whole paper tablecloth to color. Kids meals were very reasonably priced and my daughter finished her pizza. View menu

I had a birthday dinner at this restaurant, and unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the price. The pasta sauce was runny and lacked flavor. Our plates were served one at a time, which was frustrating for a party of nine. We even had to ask for more bread, which turned out to be hard. The waitress was nice, though she seemed new and a bit nervous. The sparse parking lot on a Friday evening should have been a warning sign. Overall, I’m sorry to say that I probably won’t be visiting this place again.

I don't know what the heck happened here last night but what an abysmal experience. This place has been slowly going downhill for the past few years and last night was the last straw for us. My husband and I brought in three friends saying that we really liked the food here, so we were completely embarrassed by our experience once we showed up. Sat at the bar with nobody serving for at least 10 to 15 minutes. There was no heat in the bar. It was absolutely freezing. No music was playing. It was really eerie energy in there. Inexperienced weight staff with questions about happy hour and the food. They only had about two to three tables filled in the dining room and we still ended up waiting a...

"Lackluster Beverage Experience Marred Our Anticipated Dining ExperienceReview:My girlfriend and I undertook a lengthy 12 hour journey from Dallas, Texas to Colorado Springs, lured by the prospect of convenience and a cherished indulgence. We specifically selected a hotel across from your restaurant, ensuring easy accessibility, as we planned to unwind over a few drinks and a shared dish while waiting for our room to become available.Recently diagnosed as a diabetic, I've had to forego my favorite drink, the Old Fashioned, for the past three months. The anticipation of enjoying this beloved cocktail once again was a highlight of our trip, making our visit to your restaurant especially significant.Upon our arrival, we found the Indian theme charming and enjoyed the quality of the shared dish we ordered. We were, however, disappointed to find that there were no available outlets to plug in my laptop, nor was there Wi Fi to aid our intent to get some work done. These issues were, unfortunately, precursors to our biggest letdown the beverage service.The Old Fashioned I ordered was a far cry from the classic blend of whiskey, sugar, water, and bitters traditionally garnished with an orange slice. Instead, I received a disappointingly small glass with a piece of ice, a lime, and a meager amount of whiskey. The steep $25 price for this drink, which was even higher than our food bill, added to our dismay. Moreover, an unexpected $6 charge for water further inflated our bill and our dissatisfaction.Our journey began with high spirits and anticipation, but our overall experience at your restaurant, marred by the poor quality of drinks, lack of basic facilities like Wi Fi and power outlets, and unfair pricing, fell woefully short of our expectations. We believe there's a significant opportunity for improvement in delivering value for money, upholding the integrity of classic cocktail recipes, and providing basic amenities to ensure a satisfactory dining experience."

"Wonderful Experience from the moment we walked in the door. The staff is OUTSTANDING, even the managers made sure our experience was a great one. We had the pleasure to sit in Chris section on a busy Friday evening. The attention to detail was very impressive. Chris recommended a great bourbon for me to have in my old fashion. Josh was assisting Chris all evening to ensure we had everything we needed. My husband had a great IPA to start and Chris helped him pick out a great Pinot Noir for dinner. The wine, beer and bourbon selection is top notch. We loved so many things on the menu we ordered several starters. My favorite was the bone marrow that comes with a great toast and herbs, it was fantastic! My husband had the Oysters which were a top quality from the northeast, he said the horseradish was the best he had ever had. He even order a little extra for his steak. I had a filet cooked Pittsburg Rare, which is a very hard way to cook it but the Chef did it perfectly! The peppercorn and blue cheese sauces were great additions to our steaks. The Brussels spouts, mushroom were our additional sides that just paired amazing with the steaks. The steaks come with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes. Our date night was such a precious one and the environment in the restaurant made it a romantic one. This place was full of groups as well that looked to be having a great time. To add the cherry on top of the evening Chris recommended a Butter Cake dessert. We were both so full from our dinner but my sweet tooth decided to try it. Wow, it was outstanding! I'm a southern lady who loves her desserts. This cake was light but had a wonderful flavor to it. It had a glaze, strawberries and strawberry ice cream. I am not able to have a lot of dairy and the ice cream was very light as well. By far the best dessert I have had in a long while. My husband and I drove into Colorado Springs for a date night after a very long stressful work week. The staff, especially Chris and Josh made our evening exactly what we both needed. This will be an evening we both will cherish and we are so grateful for the wonderful experience. Thank you all at Cowboy Star!! This place is a pure Gem!"
