Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best high-end New American restaurants around Colorado Springs, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to satisfy your cravings.
Topping the list is Cowboy Star. Located at 5198 N. Nevada Ave., Suite 150 in Northeast Colorado Springs, the steakhouse, cocktail bar and New American spot is the highest-rated high-end New American restaurant in Colorado Springs, boasting four stars out of 206 reviews on Yelp.
With a decor of exposed beam ceilings, cowboy accents and vintage movie posters, the Old West atmosphere is combined with a menu of Certified Humane® Angus beef and seafood. Entrees include pan-seared halibut (served with spring vegetables), scallops (served with mushroom risotto asparagus, roasted mushrooms and radish garnish) and the Cowboy Star steak salad (made of grilled steak, bibb lettuce, shaved onions, blue cheese, avocado and a champagne vinaigrette).
Next up is Northwest Colorado Springs's Margarita At PineCreek, situated at 7350 Pine Creek Road. With 4.5 stars out of 127 reviews on Yelp, the New American spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking to indulge.
At Margarita At PineCreek, you'll find cuisine made in-house, including baked bread and desserts. The sample dinner menu, which changes seasonally, features roasted cauliflower-ricotta agnolotti (mushrooms-truffle cream sauce, roasted portabello and cauliflower and parmesan) and pan-roasted orange glazed duck breast (served with creamy grits, fig-balsamic gastrique and caramelized endive).
Old Colorado City's Carlos' Bistro, located at 1025 S. 21st St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy New American spot 4.5 stars out of 235 reviews.
With a gas fireplace, this romantic spot serves steak, lamb, veal, pork and seafood, along with pasta dishes. Try the filet a la Oscar, which comes topped with crab meat and a tarragon hollandaise sauce, or the chicken carbonara pasta with fresh peas, ham and chicken in a garlic cream sauce.
