Restaurant 1858 — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

The reason why I rate this place a 2 star is because you have to pay $18 per person to get through the gates, $4 per person to take the tram up to the restaurant (unless you want to walk what appears to be a mile up a vertical incline), and when you get your check they inform you of the automatic 20% surcharge. If your feeling generous they have a line for a discretionary tip on top of the 20%. You will also have to park about 10 minutes away to take a shuttle to the gate. You are looking at a good 30 minutes to an hour to get a shuttle back to your vehicle because the line is so long. The food was good but not worth going. Stay far away from this place unless you like to throw money away and waste your day away.

The tram sucked too! Way to small and they look like the ones Disneyland threw away when they upgraded in the eighties.

The Broodmar executives need to rethink how they run the business. You took a beautiful place and turned it into a not so enjoyable experience. Your...

Getting to and from the restaurant was a total of 2 hours. Getting there we took a bus from the parking lot, then took a tram and the wait was about 20 mins each. They told us to park about 45 mins before our reservation but I don’t think that they planned for a Sunday/Father’s Day, the park was very busy. Getting home was about a 60min wait for the bus just to get back to our cars :/ we should have just Ubered! Be prepared :) the food was good however My husband got the $50 plate of Duck and it only came with 2 slices of Duck!!!! We had to share our meals with him to make sure he had enough to eat. Reynard was our waiter and he was AWESOME. I was just disappointed in the transportation. I felt like there should have been a special transport for the restaurant and definitely a better portion size on...

MUST READ NOT handicap accessible. You first arrive at a parking lot and have to wait for the shuttle. There is no set time and may wait up to 45 minutes. Once you arrive, need to go to the ticket booth and get a tram. Do not listen to other people that you need to pay for the park, only tram. Or you can walk up the steep hill. Again, there is no set time and can wait 15-30 minutes for this tram. The tram will take you to the restaurant. But need to ask which tram as different buses. However, the ride to the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Please give yourself 1-2 HOURS before your reservation time with the tram. Longer if you want to walk. Even with the tram, there is still a lot of walking and confusion. The food is delicious. But of course, location location location. So be prepared to spend...
