Ephemera began as a series of multi-sensory Pop-Up Dinners in early 2018 by Chefs Ian Dedrickson and Adam Ridens, and Creative Director Jasmine Dillavou. The passion project quickly evolved into a regular series of themed dinners held in locations varying from restaurants, to friends' apartments, to Colorado Springs-area farms. Ephemera has since created a Brick-and-Mortar location inside of Colorado Springs' CO.A.T.I. food hall and event space as a hideaway within the bustling space, focusing on ever-evolving tasting menus. We're thrilled to explore all the new possibilities alongside you. Thank you, see you soon.
“I arrived for my 5pm reservation and was seated immediately. I enjoyed the sourdough bread with dipping oil and honey butter, sweet potato soup, and venison pasta ending with the sorbet dessert. Everything was very fresh and tasted great! Chef Chris stopped over with my soup and described the dish, as Tori did when serving all of my other choices. I received excellent service and felt very comfortable and welcome. Fun experience with very unique dishes.”
“We had an exceptional evening at Ephemera. They are upstairs inside Coati in a lovely location with lots of natural light. Their tasting menu is truly amazing. We had five courses that were all unique and delicious. The service was perfect. Our waiter explained everything that was in each dish. Yes it is a higher price point, but definitely worth it for a special occasion.”
“This is my number one favorite restaurant in Colorado Springs. Nothing beats the food quality, service, and creativity. I love that the staff is willing to write everything down for my deaf husband and I. Menu changes with the seasons. If this restaurant was in NYC, it would easily be a $300 meal.”

“I don’t consider myself a Foodie or critic, but rather someone who enjoys a good quality meal. Our kids purchased a gift certificate for our anniversary, so we ate here for the first time. The welcome and customer service was excellent from the start. Our server was super attentive and explained all the dishes in great detail. Personally, not used to the small bite servings but each was a nice taste before the next dish arrived. After the five courses, I was pleasantly full and satisfied. Would eat here again for the next special event and see what the courses are since they change frequently. Glad to have this restaurant option in Colorado Springs in the downtown area. Decent parking options also make this an easy choice for your visit.”
