The Famous Steak House

From celebrating our marriage to our anniversaryy wife and I will keep coming back for well the pork belly first, 😋 the service treats you royally and steaks are worth it. It's an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend for a fancy night out 🥂

While I appreciate the work of Ben Butler, Restaurant Manager and John Michael Sanders, General Manager and their creation of the Famous and there seems to be room for improvement. I sat alone at the bar and had a bowl of french onion soup and a water with a lemon 🍋 I wasn’t offered a refill on my water and it was empty for most of my meal - I was also interested in getting coffee and a dessert and it wasn’t offerred I actually had to pull my card out to get attention. So service has much room for improvement 🙏 The soup 🍲 was extraordinarily delicious- the cheese on the outside was toasted and the broth was savory and not overpowering - the improvement here could be to see what the competition is doing - like the Broadmoor serves their French onion soup with a scissors ✂️ to cut the cheese - or Prime25 serves their French onion soup with a toasted baguette and beef tartare 🔥 The atmosphere- she needs an update or at least a good deep clean and polish The musician was wonderful and the space is roomy enough to have a more powerful presence with more vocals and a band - definitely can be room for dancing 💃 For being one of the FEW Colorado Springs steakhouses - it’s good and could be amazing!

Traveling through Colorado Springs and stopped here on a lark. So thankful that we did. Hubby is all about the steakhouse, I am not. Our host Harleigh was an absolute doll and very accommodating to our service dog and despite our not having reservations, and it was a Saturday night on a holiday weekend. Yes, we were those people today. All vacation, no plan lol. Our server, Brian, (definitely ask for him) made the exact right suggestions for both of us. Hubs had the ribeye steak with a loaded baked potato. I had the Korean jidori spiced baked chicken on a rice pilaf with bok choy. Had mine with a glass of Albariño. We were so fat and happy at the end of this meal. I hope we get to return someday.

$95 for a sirloin that was 100% NOT Japanese A5. The steak was tough & did not have any distinct marbling. We left pieces behind due to its unpleasant texture (rubberlike). Disappointed to see that on the menu after experiencing what I’m certain was not Japanese A5. I had an allergic reaction after notifying of my severe avocado allergy & my Caesar was served with a side of avocado. Highly likely that the kitchen swiped it from the plate & returned on the same platter, because I immediately developed a hot & swollen ring around my mouth after only 2 bites. I didn’t finished my salad. The skinny onions rings & mashed potatoes were great. Totally robbed of $165. We witnessed more than 3 people in street clothes, walk in & out of the kitchen, who were obviously not on duty. And observed a few employees who seemed inebriated. We came during their last hour of service, on Friday. I really would’ve appreciated if the kitchen would’ve told us that they were all out of A5, rather than charge us $95 for a sirloin, that was mid at best. The table napkin was cute & charming.

Had an appetizer, dessert and AF cocktail at the bar on a Friday night. Bartender was attentive and service was quick. The alcohol-free Clean Heat cocktail was the best mocktail I've ever had. But, the complimentary bread was cold and the tuna tartare was disappointingly bland. The flourless chocolate torte (which was what I came for) was phenomenal. Enjoyed the live piano music. Didn't enjoy how loud the front door slammed shut every time a patron came/went.
