	            	            Think this is one of Colorado Springs' best dining offerings. Sorry it took us 2 years to find it. Service and atmosphere are great.  Equally matched by the menu and food quality.	            ]]></description>

	            	            Menu and food are very good, but the service is about the worst I have ever seen.  Wait staff doesn't appear to know their menu, or how to serve sushi.  For example, you might want soy sauce dishes with sushi.	            ]]></description>

	            	            May be one of my new favorite places.  Hard to decide what to order because the menu had so many good things on it.	            ]]></description>

	            	            Jack Quinn is noted not only for its liquid and food offerings, it is quite popular as a gathering place for Irish music, Geeks Who Drink (Trivia and Beer on Mondays at 8) and Jack Quinn's Running Club (Tuesdays at 6).	            ]]></description>

	            <description><![CDATA[
	            	            The Golden Bee is a very small pub, so if you are heading over during peak hours, be prepared to wait.  Not on the menu are 2 childrens' selections (grilled cheese and fries as well as chicken strips and fries).  The Reuben sandwich and the fish and chips here are terrific.  Wait staff is very friendly.  

The restaurant is walking distance from the Broadmoor hotel, but not actually in the hotel.  It is just east of the hotel on Lake Ave.	            ]]></description>

	            	            This is a hidden gem, literally, as you have to squeeze between two buildings to get to La'au's.  The tacos here are very fresh and creative.  We cannot get enough of the Mahi-Mahi with green papaya salad and aji de peru (a great, spicy salsa).  Colorado College students, be happy, they take the gold card.

	            <link>/dining/japanese/sushi/bara-sushi-grill.html</link>
	            <description><![CDATA[
	            	            We visited Bara on a Saturday night before its grand opening.  Our service was mediocre, but the food was outstanding.  We are hopeful that Bara is working out the kinks in service.  The atmosphere had an urban, somewhat crowded feel.  There is a kids' menu, but we would feel more comfortable leaving them home than bringing them to Bara.  We started off with a Pot of Gold Return, which is tempura fried, cream cheese stuffed jalapenos topped with crab and spicy tuna--YUM!  We then had their spicy miso soup, which was substantial, containing onions and mushrooms along with the usual ingredients, and it had quite a kick.  The sushi and sashimi were good, reasonably-sized portions.  We enjoyed a Spicy Babe Roll, with seared tuna, avocado, spicy salmon and a crunchy topping.  Bara has had a successful Denver location for a couple of years.  We hope they stick around in the Springs too!	            ]]></description>

	            	            Exceptional food with great presentation.  Open for lunch M-F and dinner every night.  Sunday 1/2 off wine.  This is one of our favorite places.  Menu changes seasonally with some favorites that always remain.  You can dine in the bar and order off the Tapas menu or in the formal dining room.  Something for everyone.  Their calamari is some of the best we have ever had - with Asian influence.	            ]]></description>
