I took my dad (who lives in a town on the East coast that is primarily Polish) , and other family for lunch. For most of them it was their first visit. We had the kielbasa, the smoked salmon, the smoked trout and the borscht. All were excellent. food was wonderful. Kielbasa is outstanding. I think it is the best... More

This restaurant could be something great. The ambiance was nice. The menu leads you to believe it's authentic cuisine. Problem: Sorry, we don't have any Cabernet; Sorry we don't have spinach for one of the menu items; Sorry, now whipped cream for the 'seemed like' out of a box Strudel. The cabbage rolls: hamburger wrapped in cabbage with tomato sauce... More

My family tries to visit Villa Tatra several times a year. We went for a Mother's Day lunch. As usual, the food was first rate and don't miss checking out the desserts before ordering or you'll miss something special. On Mother's Day there was a special menu which included one item that wasn't ordinarily on the menu and two others... More

We have passed by Villa Tatra numerous times and never stopped to eat there, but out of options in Estes Park we ventured to Villa Tatra. I must say it was a wonderful meal, everything was made to order from the pierogi to the stuffed cabbage and the dill pickle soup. It was worth the drive down the mountain to... More

We stopped on the way back from Estes. The outside is cute and quaint but the inside is filled with dusty knick-knacks. The food is bland and overpriced (I had the stuffed cabbage my husband had the schnitzle). The service was horrible even though there were only two other tables of guests there. We couldn't get out of there fast... More

My wife and I have driven past Villa Tatra on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park many times. Recently we had the opportunity to try a weekend lunch, as Estes Park was so crowded parking was ridiculously hard to find. We remembered Villa Tatra on the way home to Boulder and we were glad we couldn't find parking in... More

We visit often and this has become a must visit for us. People who might complain about service are forgetting everything being made to order....this is not Burger King. We don't use the menu any longer. The smoke meat/fish appetizer for 2, then the polish combo. The smoked food is incredible, and the combo is a great dish for us...sausage,... More

Coming after a week of back-country camping in Rocky Mountains National Park, we stopped to eat Villa Tatra. The people there were welcoming but slow to bring us the food which was tasty but very little for the price your' paying. Just not worth it! More

We've been going to Villa Tatra for years and it's truly a family favorite. Worth the trip every time. They do treat you like family and the pierogi are the best ever. Lovely place, lovely people and lovely food. What more could you ask for? More

The Tatra has a cozy dining area with plenty of art and gifts to peruse. I cannot say enough about the Polish plate with out of this world pierogis, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa. And the walnut torte! Great service provided by friendly women with thick Polish accents. Mrs. and Mrs. Puszman (who built the place) would be proud even today. More
