It is not an easy task to retain your position at the top but the Penrose Room at the Broadmoor Resort & Spa has retained its status as the foodies’ dream since 1961. It is the only AAA 5 Diamond and Forbes 5 Star restaurant in Colorado and represents the very best of the culinary scene of the state. Apart from mouthwatering food and wine the restaurant boasts of beautiful views and professional and friendly service. Guests can enjoy the soft live jazz band with vocalist and take to the dance floor. From the hostess to the waiters and from the sommelier to the chef all strive to make your visit to the Penrose Room memorable. It is an ideal destination for special occasions and guests can book one of the private dining spaces to celebrate the occasion.
The Team at Penrose Room has a Passion for Excellence
C.W. Reed, Director of Food and Beverage for The Broadmoor is proud to be at the helm of the famous restaurant which has been the most traditional restaurant of the resort for long. The restaurant has cultivated classic culinary values but has been reinventing them over the years by giving them contemporary interpretations. The entire team at the Penrose Room has the passion for excellence and Mr. Reed feels that it will take the restaurant to even higher levels in the future. The restaurant serves a prix-fixe menu consisting of three or four courses. In addition you have a chef’s tasting menu. But if you want to make it the ultimate dining experience we would suggest you to go in for a seven-course tasting menu complete with personalized selections from a tableside sommelier.
The Restaurant has an Adjoining Lounge and Bar
The ambience in the restaurant is very luxurious as you see gleaming flatware and sparkling crystal all around you. The entire space has been done up with rich textures and colors, fabrics and finishes. Guests can also enjoy an adjoining lounge and bar while waiting for your meal. Trust me; the experience is truly worth waiting for. It will be no exaggeration to call the Penrose Room a luxurious love affair with food and spirits. Another interesting feature of the restaurant is a printed menu featuring the names of your Maitre D’Penrose, Sommelier, Chef de Cuisine and Pastry Chef for the evening.
Hamchi Tuna Ceviche with Hibiscus Gelee: The Menu    Â
Anything and everything on the menu is a class apart, however we would like to specially mention the highlights. A Hamchi Tuna Ceviche with Hibiscus Gelee and Compressed Cucumber paired with a 2009 Quatro Mani is definitely one of them. Similarly, Halibut slowly cooked in Black Olive oil with Thumbelina Carrots and Fingerling Potatoes paired with a 2009 Perrot-Minot is an experience that is out of this world. An Almond Pound Cake with Raspberry-Rhubarb Compote and Strawberry Sorbet, complete with an Inniskillin, Vidal Ice Wine from Niagara Falls takes the cake if you are looking up the desserts. If you are in Colorado and are looking for an unforgettable experience then the Penrose Room is the best choice. It is Colorado’s most distinguished restaurant and you will agree fully when you have a meal there.
