Best Dining Experience in Colorado Springs

We feel like we found a rare gem hiding at Cafe 36 in the Fine Arts Center! This is easily among our top 3 favorite dining places in town. We highly recommend it.

Incredible Catering Staff

Hi Sandy -

I wanted to tell you that Jessica has been incredible in helping us figure out how to plan a wedding on a budget! She finds creative ways to stretch dollars and keep the elegance of the event. I am really enjoying the whole experience with Garden of the Gods' Gourmet.

A Special Place

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.

Awesome!

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

What a pleasure to return to Cafe 36 at the Fine Arts Center, confident in the knowledge that dinner will be artfully prepared and served. Creativity in the kitchen is a sure thing. Go--treat your friends!

We want to thank you for the oppourtunity to dine at Cafe 36. The ambience was lovely and the food was fantastic! We are sure to add Cafe 36 to our "favorites" dining list and come back soon. Best

Best dinner I've had in the Springs in a while

A summer evening on the patio overlooking pikes peak, outstanding, accommodating service, excellent food, half-price wine...what could be better? This restaurant is definitely at the top of our list.

I cannot thank you enough for the recommendation to Central Bancorp – you were absolutely instrumental in Bella Dia Events getting the bid for the Grand Opening Event(s).

Dear Sandy,

Thank you for working so thoughtfully on the gala menu. It's my impression your choices reflect a shared vision of the event with those of the committee. The presentation at the testing was quite extraordinary!

With appreciation,
