Mishawaka Amphitheatre Restaurant

About the restaurant

The Mishawaka Amphitheatre boasts a full-service restaurant open Thursday-Monday. Dine on our scenic deck while observing the big horn sheep on the canyon hillside, or opt for our indoor seating, which features expansive bay windows for the same river and wildlife vistas. Our spotlighted Craft Micro Brewery, Odell Brewery from Fort Collins, CO, partners with us to feature the exclusive Mishawaka Ale. In addition to this, we offer a comprehensive bar selection, including a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits.

PLEASE NOTE that reserving an outdoor spot guarantees a table outside but does not guarantee a table by the riverside. We offer a 10-minute grace period for reservations. Your party will be seated only when all members are present, due to our hour and a half limit on table occupancy. Should inclement weather arise, we cannot guarantee outdoor seating at the time of your reservation.

Our establishment is cashless. Kindly ensure you bring a debit or credit card.

Overall the experience was okay except for the seating arrangements. The waiter was a little bit to persistent about not letting us eat as a family at 1 table and wanted to split us up into 2 tables. It is very important and you should accommodate a family that wants to dine together. Especially on an occasion like and elderlies 84th birthday celebration. Henry

We have breakfast at the Grand View several times a year for special occasions ever since it opened to the public several years ago primarily because of the unbeatable view and ambience. However, we always thought the food was good but not great. Not anymore! Our breakfast this morning was superb both in quality and quantity! I now rate the restaurant 5 stars in all categories. Yes, it will cost about twice as much as going to breakfast in most places in town, but it's simply worth it, especially sitting on the patio on a beautiful Colorado morning with far and away the most spectacular view of Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods anywhere in Colorado Springs!

The final Western BBQ of the season was such fun! The wait staff was top notch and the Buffett had many choices. It would have been nice to have perhaps a cheese and cracker hors d’ouevres platter for some pre meal enjoyment. The beverage list was great and the music was fabulous!
