Dinner was very good, plus a super panoramic view for most tables in this place. The tenderloin steaks were outstanding, and trout was pretty good too. Prices were ok, the view is worth a few dollars itself. Our server, Sarah, was outstanding, and very patient...More

We ate at the Metate Room several times when we visited Mesa Verde 5 years ago. We were really looking forward to our visit & eating there once again. Well, things have changed. The service was slow even though the park is nearing the end...More
