We have been to The Other Side on several trips to Estes Park. In the winter it is great to sit on the lower section, near the pond and the huge fireplace. We have always enjoyed the food and the service.

The food was not as good as I had hoped. It wasn't bad. Just average. We ordered off the menu on a Sunday at lunch time.

It was our unexpected discovery as we wandered in last Friday night, to discover that once a month (except during summer months) on the first Friday of the month this restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet for $29.95 each. That sounded a little expensive but after we looked, we ate! This price included a large fruit, vegetable and salad starter... More

Had the mexican buffet last night, all I can say is wow!!! They did such a great job I felt like I was in Mexico eating authentic mexican food. Minus the 90 degrees and the sand this is the hands down best mexican food in Estes. I say keep it year round, weekly not monthly. Also the atmosphere is wonderful!

My family and I have been going to The Other Side for Mothers Day and several other days throughout the year for over 15 years. The view of the lake is lovely, we are able to feed the ducks and the staff is friendly and kind. It is a beautiful place to enjoy, relax slow down and enjoy good food... More

My wife and I had lunch at The Other Side yesterday, and it was magical. My prime rib Philly and my wife's salmon salad were both tasty, plentiful, and served by a gracious young lady. The view of pond, ducks, and hills behind were special, but what made this visit magical was that a Mother Goose was nesting her eggs... More

I've been wanting to try the Other Side restaurant for a while. We came up to Estes this weekend and we found a $10 off coupon so it was perfect timing. The main dining area was nice with a good view of the pond and resident ducks to keep you entertained. The wine and beer glasses were small to start... More

I am terribly sorry that you were so disappointed with your experience with us last Friday night. There have been few times that we have failed to meet our customers expectations to the level you have shared. I clearly tried to help recover the experince for you but obviously failed. As a point of clarification we pour a 6ounce glass... More

If you visit this area near rmnp off season as I did, there are not many restaurants open. Although the atmosphere resembles a nice diner, the food is very good and service is fast and efficient. I was very pleased and dined here a few times during my stay.
