Need to get away from the city scene? Head south for respite at The Cliff House at Pikes Peak. Built in 1873, The Cliff House is a charming inn that earns its place on the National Registry of Historic Places. A major $9-million dollar renovation in 1997 brought The Cliff House to new century standards while still maintaining its historic appeal. The intimate 75-seat dining room boasts a casual elegance of linens, Victorian decor and panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The Continental fare is fresh and inspired (wild mushroom bruschetta, cranberry-glazed pork tenderloin and ginger-crusted Chilean sea bass, for example), while the wine list has earned the coveted "Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator magazine. In addition, Mountain Living magazine named The Cliff House "Best Romantic Getaway." With raves like that, dinner can only be the beginning of something beautiful. -- Drew Myron
