  My wife and I were at the Stanley for a concert this past weekend, and we spent a few hours here before the show. We shared a bottle of prosecco and a couple cocktails, plus one appetizer throughout the afternoon, before the show. The staff was excellent and it was a great setting for a date or with friends, or even just talking to others staying at the hotel. We'll definitely be back.

  217 Wine Bar was amazing. We enjoyed an appetizer and prosecco. They have a wide selection of wines to choose from. The service was terrific and the setting is spectacular. The views outside the windows were breathtaking. I was impressed with how reasonable the cost was. They have an old piano and other fun artifacts. I can't wait to return.

  This is such a beautiful spot, great wine selections with reasonable prices. While the charcuterie boards are a little pricey, they did have a wide selection and generous portions of meats, cheeses, fruits, etc. My only wish is that this spot accepted reservations, but if you can get a table, totally worth the visit. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful with recommendations!

  My best friend and I come to Estes every year at least twice. We ALWAYS come to the wine bar and Cascades several times each time we are in town. It has always been amazing and wonderful with superb service. This year, however, that was not the case. We ordered shrimp cocktail, which we have ordered several other times there. When our waiter brought it out, immediately the presentation looked different than it had before. The cocktail sauce looked very dark and the horse radish looked and tasted like Dijon mustard. As we ate it, we both said the cocktail sauce tasted like bbq sauce. We mentioned this to our waiter and he said it's always been that. We ate a couple more, and it tasted awful so we sent it back. When we told the waiter, his response was, "Well, it looks like you've almost eaten the whole thing". We again said we wanted to send it back. Soon after, the manager, Georgia, along with the waiter, came to our table asking us what was wrong. We told her. Georgia then proceeded to literally argue back and forth with us saying that the shrimp cocktail sauce was the same as it had always been. It was absolutely not! Every time I would say it was not the same, Georgia would say "yes it is" and that went back and forth several times. What manager does that? EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. Then we noticed a table off 6 girls beside us. They ordered a bottle of wine from Georgia. The glasses came out dirty and smelly and so they mentioned that to Georgia. Georgia clearly got annoyed and offended and grabbed the glasses to take them back. One of the girls was trying to apologize to Georgia after Georgia reacted. When Georgia came back with the 6 glasses, she had rinsed them off but did not wipe them down to get all the water off so they were dropping with water on the inside and outside of ask of the glasses. All of the girls at the table looked dumbfounded. We have never had bad service or die staff one single time at the stanley. Seems like the new management has a lot of things that need improvement, and in my opinion, the first change that needs to be made is getting rid of Georgia. She is rude, unprofessional, disheveled looking, and rough around the edges. They need to rethink employing someone like that
