What's the key thing when it comes to "Best"?

Many of these restaurants have great views. I can understand that, when you go to Estes Park, you want the "full" experience of mountain dining; whether it be seeing the mountains, Lake Estes, or the river.

Are these just for the tourists?

I don't believe so, really. Good food at a great spot is what everybody enjoys.

Is Ed's on the list?

Yes, one of the town's legendary spots, rates.

I think with this list, you'll find the 'right' spot for whatever occasion brings you to Estes Park: Just to get away, anniversary, birthday, after a great hike in the mountains, etc. If anything, you can 'bookmark' the list for each time you visit, as each visit may be different.
