Can't Re-Fuse

It might be a little too dramatic to say that Fuse is a pioneer on the east side of Colorado Springs, but it would be fair to say that this concept is definitely infusing some new excitement and variety to the dining community.
With a newly remodeled interior (formerly Hola!) and an exciting new menu, owners Rodney and Julia Lane have racheted up the ambiance of this space while still keeping it casual and quaint for couples, groups and families alike.
The couple operated Hola! for about 2½ years, and although the restaurant had gained a pretty loyal following, especially on the weekends, it wasn't the kind of restaurant they ultimately wanted or thought would be a long-term success six days a week.
They were interested in evolving into something a little more upscale, eclectic and intimate - a restaurant that could be a destination for couples, groups or even families on weekdays and weekends and provide the kind of ambiance where it wasn't too loud and people could relax, talk and enjoy good food.
It's the first restaurant the couple has owned. But Rodney opened two independently owned ones in Washington, D.C., and was the creator, co-creator or consultant on a couple of start-ups or existing independent concepts.
Although the Lanes feel like Colorado Springs is their home (because they are here all the time), they live in Castle Rock and commute.
When this opportunity arose a few years ago, the couple already lived in Castle Rock but was really drawn to the growing east side's potential and felt the center was the future foundation of that side of town.
The two wanted to be a part of that growth and development and have truly enjoyed serving the people in that community.
Fuse invites everyone to enjoy food that ranges from chipotle chicken pasta to cedar plank salmon to roasted chicken with mashers.
Truly a perfect location to enjoy a great meal with friends and, perhaps, take in a movie next door.
Type of cuisines: American Comfort Food
Price range: $9 to $15 for entrees.
