When you enter Carlos Bistro and Oyster Bar in Colorado Springs, be warned. Resign yourself to be pampered and tempted with the finest array of cuisine this city has to offer. Carlos and Marcia Echeandía have created a veritable oasis that will delight your palate and serenade your senses. The Carlos Bistro experience is one of dining at its best.
Carlos Bistro and Oyster Bar is the culmination of a young boy’s dream. As a youth, Carlos knew that entertaining with flair would become a major focus of his life. He was “a natural”, attending to his parents’ guests at dinner parties in their home, observing how the courses were served, taking note of which wines compliment each course. Carlos admits that his ancestry and upbringing paved the way for him to become a restaurateur and more, a connoisseur of fine cuisine and elegant dining.
Carlos’s university degree provided additional fuel for his culinary fire. After graduating with a business degree in his native Peru, he set out for the United States where he spent the next years learning the U.S. restaurant scene. He and Marcia worked as a team in the business sector and on the home front; they raised a family and worked together to plan for their own venue when the time was right. When they made the big step to open their restaurant, they knew “it was time.”
“Marcia is in charge,” Carlos told us. She and his chefs focus upon a successful dining adventure from beginning to end. “Marcia is crucial to our success,” he continued. “She’s my anchor. She sees to all the small details, prepares the decorations by hand, gives everything that extra attention, and makes sure that everything we serve is perfect.”
Carlos’s international company of six chefs, Gilda, Dan, Omar, Ben, Sergio and Hugo, have created a blending of American cuisine with unique styles from around the world. They design each dish to please the palate and the eye, nourish the body, and regale the spirit. Remember, you were warned!
“Our chefs are family,” Carlos said. “They have been here with me since the very beginning. They have passion, creativity, art, and love for what we do here.”
If you are a newcomer to Carlos Bistro, please ask the talented wait staff to assist you with suggestions. They are trained to be prompt, helpful, unobtrusive, and attentive. They will suggest beverages that best suit your dining choices, and you can be assured that Carlos, tie over his shoulder, will visit your table to be sure that you are enjoying your meal.
Once a Carlos Bistro aficionado, always a Carlos Bistro aficionado! From the fresh crab cake first course, or just-flown-in oysters on the half shell, to a perfectly seared prime filet cooked to your order, and finished off with the smoothest of fresh cream and berries, you will have just enough time to check your calendar and make a reservation for your next eating extravaganza.
The Record+ cannot speak too highly of Carlos Bistro and Oyster Bar. It is the stuff that dreams are made of, and we trust you will make them part of your special times as well.
