A Special Place

2009-08-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

Increasingly, there are great dining experiences in great museums--Cafe Sebastienne at the Kemper in Kansas City and Puck's at the St. Louis Art Museum. Now Colorado Springs can boast of excellent dining at Cafe 36 in the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. The food was excellent and unusually well balanced from start to finish. The service was insightful and attentive. This wonderfully enhanced museum now has a restaurant to match.

Don M. August 3, 2009

Awesome!

2009-08-20T09:35:00.000-07:00

I hate to sound trite with the 'awesome' headline, but no other word describes our experience at Cafe 36 for lunch. Service is perfect, the presentation of the food and the tastes are out of this world.

Carol E. July 8, 2009

Yes,we will be back! Soon and often

2009-08-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

Dear Alana,

While in Steamboat I had time to reflect on our Gala event. I wanted to thank you for your help in making a memorable evening for many people. I have received many praises about your staff and the food items were excellent. I did not know until our follow up meeting today that we ran out of vegetables, I think that reflects how delicious they were. By chairing this event I know I have learned a lot, one being a new appreciation for all event planners.

Thank you again–

Sincerely,
Kate Pursley

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 6 Women Playwriting Festival, I want to thank you for your generous sponsorship of our Opening Night Reception.

The food was delicious and presented with creativity and style. Your gracious and efficient staff made it a wonderful night for all of us.

We've received thank you emails from the five visiting playwrights. All mentioned the thrill of seeing their plays performed Friday night to a sold out crowd and the lovely pre-show reception.

Again, thank-you for supporting the 6 Women Playwriting Festival 2008. As always, it was a pleasure to work with you.

All my best–

Hi Alana,

Thank you for the wonderful food last Thursday night. People raved about the roast beef especially. I thought all of it was delicious. Austin and his team did an excellent job of serving, looking for people who needed wine, always seemed to be handy when you needed to get rid of a skewer and cleaned up beautifully. It turns out, we didn't need dessert. It was hardly eaten, but that's okay.

Laura solved the mix-up on the table linens in a very professional manner. I really appreciated her going back to the store to get the ivory and brown which turned out to be beautiful. Should have started there . . . next time.

Thank you very much,
Suzie Mitchell
