Always a tough choice to go here or not. By far the best seafood in the springs. However it will be an hour before you get your food, and the waitstaff will not check on you unless prompted. If Mr. English would hire a real staff instead of relying on family this place would take off.
It is simply other worldly...and now with the connecting hotel, it is as easy going downtown to leave town. And at Colo Springs rates, not New York's!
A "Diamond" in this truly rough Colorado Springs culinary scene. Chef Davis has manage to bring to this city something long needed and looked for. Southern/Cajun cuisine and the atmosphere/feel of dining in the French Quarter. My first experience at Springs Orleans, I almost forgot what city I was in for a bit, which is not a bad thing every once in a while. A wonderful place for a 3-4 course meal, or suits just as well for Beignets and Cafe Au Lait. If you happen to catch the musical talents of Thomas Dawson (Pianist for the Commodores usually there Thurs-Sat nights) the experience is taken to a whole other level. A wonderful dining experience.
service was terrible - my guest said I wasted their time!
can i write a review about someone else's review?
why go to the BEST seafood restaurant and rave about the burgers & fries?
READ THIS FIRST BEFORE WASTING A DIME! - Boy is the Indy right on this one! The food was the worst I have possibly ever eaten in my 39 native years here! I would honestly compare it to the food you would get at Furr's Cafeteria, Elementry School Cafeteria food or even grub off the back of a wagon heading down the Oregon Trail!
The chicken was soggy, small, too much squishy breading. In fact everything was wet and soggy, like it had been in a flooded kitchen except the hockey puck rolls that were donated by the CC Tigers!. The floor was old carpet which didnt look like it had been replaced OR vacuumed in many moons. The whole place needs, a new chef, carpet and a paint job! The wait staff were very blank, with a care-less type attitude. They know the food sucks - hey what are they gonna do about it?
Unfortunatly the food is the opening act, then ticketholders gravitate upstairs after that awful dinner to an excellent show with very talented actors. Too bad the Old Palace Hotel that performed the melodramas in Cripple Creek isnt open for shows and food. The food was much better, as you could get a reasonably priced hamburger and fries, beer and wine.
I wont go again, thats for sure. I wish the Indy would please post a guide to the WORST RESTAURANTS, to spend hard earned and now scarce money on! That would be much more helpful>
Many would agree, Im sure! - Then the places with the worst food, uncleanliness can go out of business for the good of the food industry!
Thank You :)
We love this place from the PO'Boys to the mother of all hamburgers. We just wish the plates came with more of those SUPER FRESH and GREAT SEASONED french fries.
Re: “English Dockside”
the best seafood in town is at Bonefish...the menu on this place's bad website isn't even tempting...and no lobster roll is listed.
Who wrote this review? Did they even go to the restaurant?
