Okay I LOVE this place!!! It is the cutest little cottage inside and well designed outside. The food is AMAZZINGGG!! The breakfast burger and me shook on how delicious the meat was. The burrito is thick and incredible. Our waitress was also amazing. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergies and she came back multiple times to ask questions to ensure she didn't get sick. I HIGHLY recommend

A lovely experience every time, and wonderful customer service. Thank you Connor for taking good care of us this morning!

Fantastic meal at the bar! Open faced sammie was so good and they use Niman ranch bacon and pasture raised/local eggs. Somehow their prices aren't inflated, too. Service is always excellent here and today wasn't an exception. Maddie is an all around superstar and great person. Ambiance is perfect for a hot afternoon on a Saturday. Dog friendly and welcoming.

This place is a must! I definitely feel like this is one of the top favorite places I visited in Colorado! It feels like you're walking into someone's home and enjoy a nice brunch at the backyard! They're biscuits are probably my favorite even though a lot of Colorado makes amazing baskets! Definitely sit outdoors as it is shaded and you can enjoy a spacious ambience! The bottom salad is super fresh and tasty! Also, they grow their own herbs in the back garden, so you can see that things are actually made. You also walk through the kitchen, which is really cool! The service was a little slow, but I think the Chef's were running behind, which is fine, because we just enjoyed the outdoors!

Upscale comfort food and great cocktails. Just for the menu it gets 5 stars. The restaurant proper is tiny, but the extension they've built in the back yard works pretty well. It's not gorgeous, but good company and good food/drink make up for a lot of that. Service was friendly but not always the fastest (but the servers deserve extra credit because you can't get from the front of the restaurant to the back area without passing through the middle of the split kitchen where all the servers are waiting by the passes). While they have ways of dealing with accessibility issues, they do definitely exist. There's available parking off Pearl Street (this is well before the mall), though it's a little catch as catch can.

We were able to get a large table during a college football game night/busy weekend. Surprisingly, they were able to accommodate a large party of ten with short notice. The outdoor patio gave you the feeling that you were in someone's backyard and not a patio. Very cozy, lush, and nice privacy from the other tables. They had a nice list of signature cocktails, beers and wines to choose from. They had 5 Colorado beers on tap and few other beers in cans to choose from. The menu indicates that they specialize in locally sourced, Colorado comfort food. I ordered the Callicrate Ranch Short Rib Tagliatelle. I learned that the Callicrate Ranch is in Colorado Springs and specializes in cattle ranching. The short ribs were one of the most expensive items on the menu so I had high expectations for it. With 10 people at the table, I wished I had ordered one of the other meals. Shepherds pie and fried chicken were hits at the table and looked mouth watering. The most expensive does not always mean the best. The other person who ordered in our party was very impressed. Too rich for my taste buds.

We had a family dinner for 20 people and the outdoor seating and ambiance was amazing under the tent. With outdoor heaters to keep the table warm on a crisp fall evening we could have not asked for a better setting. The food was great. Portion sizes more than welcoming and as you can see from the photos, the food started to disappear faster than I could grab a photo! The cocktails and wine selection were great and seemed to satisfy everyone's libation desires. The team and management were very attentive and accommodating for any special request. We were in town for a family wedding and were excited to make River and Woods one of our destinations for the weekend after reading so many great things about the cute cottage and food. We are glad we made it and look forward to our next visit!
