Hatch Cover   

Despite "good" service the chef managed to destroy my steak. I rank this place right up there with the "Ponderosa" or "Bonanza." Case closed.

The Hatch Cover is under new ownership as of l/l/02 and we had the pleasure of meeting Rob and Laura Hirt. We had quit going when it was Josephs Hatch Cover but Rob & Laura have it back like it used to be and we will keep going back.

My husband and I had visited family during 12/2001 and went to Joseph's Hatchcover, as it had been recommended as one of Colorado Springs top ten fine dining establishments. It was an awful experience and we would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I hope it is true that it is under new ownership, (as told by the other review) But we also wonder if this is so? Why did I not receive a response to the letter I wrote them in January, regarding the bad experience we had? Perhaps apologizing for what had happened, that they had recently changed ownership and remedied these shortcomings with waitstaff and invited us back? Or at least acknowledged the letter at all. Everyone we told about our experience was appalled and could hardly believe it. I would not have believed it myself had I not experienced it first hand. I hope the management has taken steps to remedy this. Otherwise I don't know how they can stay in busines.....

I think Rob and Laurie are going a terrific job reshaping the clientel and the resturant. I have brought my friends there for lunch as well as co-workers and family. I used to avoind the Hatch when it was under Joseph. I could never trust the bartender or any other of their employees. Now, I bring as many as I can find. Rob and Laurie are open to feedback from the public and make changes as they see needed. Their prices are fair and their food/service is quality all the way. Keep up the good work Rob and Laurie!!
