Antlers Restaurant is nothing short of extraordinary — a fine dining experience set in one of the most breathtaking locations in America. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by scenery that feels like a masterpiece of nature, making every meal here unforgettable. The food is exceptional — every dish crafted with precision, creativity, and flavors that rival the stunning backdrop. The service is just as remarkable: warm, attentive, and perfectly balanced between professional and personal. Yes, the prices reflect fine dining, but they also include something you simply cannot put a price tag on — dining against some of the most beautiful views you’ll ever see. If you’re looking for a place where world-class cuisine, impeccable service, and unmatched natural beauty come together, Antlers Restaurant is in a league of its own. Truly out of this world.

This review is for the lodge and the restaurant. We stayed in the motel type rooms next to the restaurant for 2 nights and ate 1 dinner and 1 breakfast at the lodge. The rooms are basic and comfortable; however, the walls are thin between rooms. We enjoyed being right next to the river and sitting outside our room watching the river and afternoon rain/thunderstorm. There is little counter space in the bathroom. The TV was older so we could not use our streaming device with it. This is a good location for exploring Creede as long as you don't mind driving into the town. The food at the restaurant was quite good, but we had very slow service at breakfast, and it was clear that they were understaffed. I like rustic, camp like places so I had high hopes for Antlers, but I think they have missed some small improvements to make their lodge stand out.

They fit us in last minute! I had the special, duck and veggies. My husband had the rack of lamb. It was raining, but we still got to eat outside on the patio overlooking the river thanks to them having covers.

Antlers Riverside Restaurant exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The riverside setting added so much charm, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing, steak centered meal. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. The game room is filled with board games, a vintage arcade game and pool table. There was also live music Thursday night. Antlers is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

This restaurant has a great location and I only recommend drinks or appetizers on the deck. Unfortunately the dinner I experienced would earn a poor review from anyone. We were here on a Friday night at 5:30 PM. While I loved the burrata salad and cocktails the dinner options were not recommendable. I ordered the chefs special salmon in a coconut curry sauce that I was told came with two shrimp. It was only served with a single shrimp. My order also included bland green beans that had missed onion peel and rice with mushrooms. The salmon was not warm in the center and in my opinion this meal exhibited a clear lack of detail and flavour. My wife ordered the ravioli and it was served with no side dishes and was not worth ordering. I also must warn the team served us the wrong order with a pasta dish that I took a photo of prior to getting the correct order. I hope with better kitchen supervision they can reach your expectations but please avoid anything that is not simple to prepare.
