Café Diva

Stopped in to sit at the bar and have dessert. The pecan Gelato and candied nuts were fantastic 5 of 5! The bread pudding was good...3.5 out of 5. Very kind staff and would go back.
The couple next to us had a sea bass fish and chips.. looked phenomenal!

After eating at this restaurant I feel I need to reconsider my criteria for 5 star reviews. This was quite possibly the best fine dining experience of my life. Every item on this menu was exquisite and cooked to perfection. I absolutely loved the duck confit and peanut butter bacon sandwiches. They were followed by the most amazing sweet potato soup; quite possibly the best soup I’ve ever had. The venison and potatoes were superb. The apple bread pudding and pistachio gelato were absolute heaven. I did not want to put my fork down. If you’re in town, you must try this restaurant.

I cannot recommend Cafe Diva enough. We had the steak tartare and duck confit to start- both were truly outstanding. The surf and turf (scallops and venison) was absolutely perfect. Apple bread pudding for dessert was delightful. Top 5 meal of all time. Excellent service as well.

Cafe Diva is consistently the best meal we have in Steamboat. Chef Kate is a magician who takes high quality ingredients, cooked to perfection. We have been to almost all of the fine dining restaurants in town and Cafe Diva wins on taste, hands down.

Menus rotate every season but there are a few staples that are always there. Staples we enjoyed were the crab and tomato bisque and the venison loin. The venison was cooked between a rare and medium rare (chef's recommendation) and it was so, so tender. This meat had a veal Demi-glacé and was paired with mashed potatoes, green beans, and fried leeks; seemingly simple but done extremely well. In addition, we also had the smoked beet and pepita salad and I had the onion soup braised lamb shank. Apparently Chef Kate starts cooking this lamb at 6am (and then go skis a couple laps if conditions are good) and it's a creative mash up of French onion soup and braised lamb shank. The met was fall of the bone tender and so flavorful. My only compliant was it was too much food and I couldn't finish. Dessert was the classic creme brûlée with fresh berries, this rendition is a lighter texture than the usual crème brûlée and the perfect finish to the meal.

I will come here every time I'm in Steamboat. Highly recommend.

Tips: Reservations are an absolute must. Do this on Opentable in advance. Ambiance is fairly loud, but service was top notch.

All of the food is beautiful and tasty but the duck confiet eggrolls as a starter and the venison are the best! Chocolate baked alaska for dessert. 👍 staff, great food, great atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Easily the best restaurant in Steamboat. Food is always impeccable. Cocktails are also among the best in town and they have an incredible wine menu. Trust the servers here. Food is fresh and changes frequently. The service staff is allowed to taste almost everything on the menu unlike other restaurants in town, and that really allows them to guide a unique experience that is customized for the table. The chef owner is fantastic and is always open to feedback to continue to make minor menu changes. It keeps you on your toes and their variety is constantly surprising locals who are generally tired of the same happy hour menus at every other restaurant in town. I feel like every time we eat here, there's always something new to try and new that surprises us. Café Diva is certainly our favorite dining destination in Steamboat.

Amazing! Cafe diva is on par with NYC and Chicago dining right here in steamboat! We tried almost everything on the menu and were pleasantly surprised with each. Cocktails and wine selection were fantastic as well. Impeccable service rarely found anywhere in Colorado. The menu rotates seasonally so we’ll be back in the spring!

My wife and I were highly impressed. Sophisticated atmosphere, extremely Pleasant staff and management, and the food was outstanding. We had the panzanella salad to start, which was bright and full of flavor. Then we shared the scallops, and beef tenderloin. I could not tell you what was the best, everything was so damn good. For dessert we did the cheesecake mousse. It was nice and Light, delicious. We will be back, highly recommend Cafe Diva.

This past Sunday me and my sister went out to Cafe Diva for my birthday it was fantastic. I've been there couple of times before and never had a bad experience, the staff is attentive and pleasant, and the food I would argue is the best in Steamboat.

Cafe Diva is, by far, the best restaurant in Steamboat Springs! The food is outstanding! Very creative menu and prepared to perfection. They have a very good wine selection. Very attentive service and the waitress knew the menu with detail I would strongly suggest that you go here for an outstanding dinner!
