10 reviews for Warehouse the
We had dinner at The Warehouse Friday night. It's early Sunday morning and I'm still daydreaming about that meal.
We made reservations for 7 (didn't seem like they were needed as the place was pretty empty) and were promptly seated. We got bread and a bottle of water to split, except that I wanted tea. It's still a nice touch. The waitress helped me decide between the bison and the ribeye (the bison won out). The bf got a Warehouse salad and bison carpaccio because he was in the mood to live dangerously. Me, not so much for the raw meat.
I mentioned that I was going to eat some of the bf's salad so the waitress brought out 2 plates of it, already split. Nice nice. It was greens, cranberries, cashews, feta, oranges and balsamic vinaigrette. Awesome. Then the meals came.
My bison (sauteed with mushrooms, whisky, cream, demiglace and a "kiss of maple") was SO. FREAKING. GOOD. Oh, and it came with a leek, some other onion-ey thing and some gorgeous mashed potatoes. I am so sad that I'm not eating it RIGHT NOW.
His bison came out raw, but he liked it. He said it had a lunch-meat consistency and reminded him of soft beef jerky. But not in a bad way, any of it. He said it was really good. It came with toast rounds, asiago, roasted garlic, mustard aioli, and sage pesto. I was afraid to try it what with the whole raw meat thing but he said it was good and it smelled pretty good. Nothing as good as MY food, but nice. I tell you, my food was GOOD.
Then we got dessert-the combo. We got the blackberry mascarpone-filled cannoli, the bittersweet chocolate pate and the Boca de Dolce (merengue filled with whipped cream and covered with sliced strawberries and chocolate sauce). The texture on the last one was spectacular. I don't even really like merengue and this stuff rocked my socks.
Like I told the chef, this was one of the only times the dinner outshined the dessert (I'm SUCH a dessert person, I swear).
Plus he let us book the wine room for our wedding, so yay. :) Obviously we'll be back. I personally cannot WAIT.
This place was decent, I got a bison burger from the pub menu which was good! Neat space, decent food, I could probably go back.
I've been here for lunch several times and at one time thought it was fantastic; however, either it is not completely fantastic or you just need to stay away from the dessert. My friend ordered the cheesecake and the store-bought cake came out tasting like freezer burn. Another time we friend found mold in the Apple Crumble. Hmm...not too appetizing for such a swanky place. Unfortunately my stomach has not let me back since.
I was in Colorado Springs for a a training event and our group stopped at the Warehouse. For those in town, The Warehouse is on the southern side of the city and is a very good restaurant that serves smaller portions at bigger price tags, but in the end it is very much worth it. I had the elk tenderloin and I had never had elk before but I wanted to be adventurous that night. I was glad I was, and enjoyed my meal very much.
My selections:
Bristol Red Rocket Pale Ale - 2 pints
French Onion Soup - Cup
Orange Chipotle Pork
Cider and salsa marinated Colorado pork chop grillbasted with orange chipotle sauce
Fried yellow tomatoes, snap peas and apple-cheddar polenta
The apple cheddar polenta was the MVP of the meal. I found myself wanting another helping of just the polenta but the pork chop was cooked perfectly. I ate early so it wasn't crowded. Nice atmosphere. Artwork from local and regional artists is scattered throughout. Fine selection of beers and wine. Food was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly and prompt. I highly recommend this place
Never had a bad dinner here...the chef is a true maestro...a strong performer at the annual Chef's Gala put on by the CS Chorale at the Broadmoor every February. The cost of a cocktail is high, so having one at home will reduce the price of a dinner for two by around $25! That is my only disappointment...otherwise, plan to pay a hefty, but worthwhile price for a great dining experience. And the location and ambiance are suprisingly delightful. An old warehouse with a surprise dining experience hidden inside. GO, TONIGHT...it's worth it.
Outstanding on so many levels!
The space is warm and lovely with plenty of wood, exposed brick and a copper-top bar.
The service was fantastic - while I waited at the bar for my dinner companion to arrive, the bartender (who morphed into our waitress later) talked wine with me, let me try one before I picked and generally made me feel welcome. She proved to be just as helpful with the menu when we sat down, offering recommendations when we asked.
The food was delicious and sophisticated and, frankly, not what I was expecting from my hometown. (Shows what I know.) We split two small plates - the mushroom-tomato tart and the artichoke-crab cassoulet - and both were flavorful, perfectly cooked and elegantly presented. The desserts were equally delicious, though the creme brulee could have used another minute in the oven. If I had been more in the mood for a full entree there were several on the menu that looked intriguingly tasty.
The only downside was the lack of other patrons. We were almost alone in the dining room, which seems such a shame since this place definitely deserves a following.
We had dinner here with 10 people on Saturday night.
Ill start with the bad. The waitress while nice was unknowlegable, and very slow. It took 20 minutes after the table had been seated just to get our drinks. She recomended that my friend order his ribeye medium rare. (great for a fillet, not so good for rib-eye) She was unable to describe any of the cheeses on the cheese plate.
The good
It was Saturday night which is 1/2 priced wine night. With the discount there is a good selection of wine for less than $15 per bottle. I had a glass of scotch which was more expensive than our bottle of wine.
The exotic cream of mushroom soup was very good, as was the soup de jour (Chicken Corn Chowder).
The cheese plate ~$15 dollars. Had a selection of 4 pretty good cheeses. I ordered the bison (small plate) which had a delicious cognac sauce, and a very small helping of potatoes. The bison steak was ~2oz so not much food there for $14.
The restaurant has a selection of small plates ranging from $10-$15, and full entree's ranging from $23-$35
The desert menu had nothing that looked appealing so the whole table skipped desert.
This was an excellent choice for lunch today! My wife and I started with an exotic mushroom soup that was to die for. For the main course she had the Macadamia Halibut. She loved it! I had the Beef Bruschetta. It was the best lunch I have had in a long time. My only complaint was I couldn't decide what I wanted to order from their great menu. The art work on the walls was a nice touch. The service was good. Try it out! Tell Chip and Aaron Matt Sherman from Federal sent you. Cheers!
Finally got here to see how the new management is doing and they look to be a new contender for best of the Springs. Food was very good for all us at the table. Good wine list. Nice atmosphere.
