Mona Lisa Fondue Restaurant 1

If you’re looking for the super-romantic, this is a fave of ours. Head west and up to Manitou Springs, where if the location doesn’t charm you, the restaurant will. And hey, what’s not to like about cooking your own food? The atmosphere is quiet and romantic, with soft lighting, and intimate rooms where you can easily find yourself dining alone with your partner like the only two people in the restaurant. Their wait-staff is super attentive, and brought home the best Wait Staff award by the Independent in 2012. The Colorado Springs OpenTable awarded it best Romantic and Special Occasion in 2012, and it’s well-earned. Ask to sit in one of the more private rooms for a more exclusive feel, and select your favorite from the Fondue for Two options. Jason and I took a risk with the Wild Game, and loved it.
