Restaurants in Denver

“Another fine dining experience at Spuntino. Daniel, our server for the evening, did an outstanding job and is so fun to interact with! The food was delicious and the new Spring menu should not be missed! Yummy pastas! Wine was delicious as well. Thank you Spuntino!”

“Please note this review is about the CHEF'S COUNTER EXPERIENCE, which they make a point of saying is separate from the main restaurant experience.

To be honest, I was pretty disappointed. The meal (two tasting menus plus two wine pairings) came out to $700 and it simply wasn't worth it. Part of the issue is the 22% service charge which they include automatically. I already don't like when 18% service charges are included automatically. 22% is obnoxious.

The service was very good, but not good enough to pay that much for. The food on the other hand was OK. I give the dishes an A- or B+ on unique and interesting. But some were too salty, and the overall flavors just didn't wow me enough to warrant a $700 price tag for dinner for two. The wine pairings were excellent though, and they served some very good and interesting wines.

I'd like to try the normal restaurant at some point, but wouldn't do the chef's counter experience again.”

“Incredible experience! Stunning food and incredible preparation the thoughts behind the craftsmanship are mind expanding. You owe it to yourself to experience this epicurean adventure!”

“Our server Mary was amazing this Saturday! She was nice and super accommodating. The food was fantastic and I would love to eat here again!!!!”

“Great food. A must when your in Denver”

“This was the best sushi I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have never been to Japan but I can only imagine that it tastes like this. The yellow tail sashimi was AMAZING. It was so buttery and smooth and it tasted so amazing. I can still remember how incredibly it tasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it.”

“Everything is fabulous!!!”

“Our waiter was spectacular and was an ultimate holiday treat .”

“Absolutely yes!!! Everything is amazing here, the vibe is incredible and very casual for a Michelin restaurant, the food is next level, and the price is so affordable I can see why they are booked out two months at a time! We sat at the bar and honestly was such a great experience watching them make the food and chatting with the servers & bartenders. You mustttttt get the sourdough tortillas. Everything we got including the cocktails were phenomenal and we got the sweet potato for dessert. The portions are way bigger than I expected, so you had to roll me out of there to get home. The sweet potato was even good cold as leftovers, and a nice treat after an amazing meal. The scallop was my favorite thing on the menu *chefs kiss* 100/10 we love! Also- go for HH before 5pm. The prices are incredible.”

“I did some research on local restaurants before my 3 day trip to Denver and was so happy to have found Lucina Eatery. Let's start with the vibe and atmosphere. I felt right at home. The staff was fantastic from Alexander Moon (GM) to Billie (bartender with the right amount of sass, playfullness and desire to please). NOW FOR THE FOOD. Well I went back 2x over the 3 days the food was so good, I sat at the bar (a lot of fun since I was by myself) and felt totally welcome and comfortable. THE CEVICHE and BROCOLLI were to die for. I have 4 orders of Ceviche. I love this place and will be back”

“One of the best place in denver for delicious Indian,Nepali and tibetian flavors.don’t miss this wow taste.”

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere 💕”

“JINYA is excellent. The food is great and we received wonderful service from Rena!”

“I have only been living in Colorado for 5 months, but this was the best experience I have had going out. The staff was amazing, engaging, and beyond friendly. The food was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun. I will definitely be going back...again and again. ❤️”

“This place is out of this world!!! Unbelievable fresh seafood, and the fried and fresh oysters were phenomenal! We got there at happy hour and ordered a bunch of stuff, and it was so good, we then ordered dinner too! Stuffed, but not weird greasy cheeseburger stuffed, happy stuffed! Dior was the man too! Super fun to chat with about the food and life in general! I will be running, not walking back to this fine establishment!! Way to go guys, keep up the great work!!”

“Delicious food! Loved this restaurant when I visited Denver and would definitely come again.”

“An amazing experience and I've been to many speakeasy! I enjoyed the atmosphere to include their drinks. I had their Sun Sleeper and it was as if gold touched my tongue. Jose the mixologist was great and amazing, made the experience even better.”

“Place was fresh would deff go again”

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey”

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand”

“This was our first time dining here, and we celebrated our 7th Anniversary. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was stellar. Jessica was outstanding relaying the specials, understanding food allergies, and just overall wonderful service. Pedro was also wonderful when seating us. We will be back. Thank you for helping us celebrate US. 💕”

“A true and unique culinary experience. I’ve read about Bruto but the experience has completely solidified my position on it being one of a kind and rightfully given the Michelin rating.”

“Best ramen EVER! We stumbled upon Uncle over a decade ago, and since then anytime we’re in CO we come for dinner. The spicy chicken ramen is hands down the best, love all of the bao buns, eggplant is my favorite, but can’t go wrong with crab or pork belly ones either. We’ve never had anything bad, service is always great too! Be sure to make a reservation.”

“Food and cocktails were excellent. Servers were attentive. Food came out quickly but we weren't rushed. Especially enjoyed the vegetable dishes (eggplant and cauliflower/potato).”

“Excellent food and excellent service”

“Amazing location, great food and drink. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.”

“Great service and great food!”

“Made reservations for lunch for a party of 6. Limited options for kids but some dishes if spicy you can ask for sauce on the side. Best dishes were the cucumbers, broccoli salad and the karaage don.”

“Best Indian restaurants I never had before. The staff was so friendly ??”

“Great ramen. It’s overpriced, but what isn’t these days? I just fundamentally don’t think they should charge extra for their spice bomb. Any pho place provides chili oil at no charge. The place is great, but wow it gets expensive for the moderate amount of food you’re getting.”

“The food is delicious... the service I recommend asking for Brenda, Daniela and Mirja because the others are very bad-tempered and a recommendation is to remodel the location”

“I need to speak with own”

“great food just love this place so much”

“George thank you for my order I could not wait to get my pound cake and share with family and friends. I don’t care where you go I will find you for these cakes. It don’t matter what ones you order. They all are sure to please. So proud of you keep up the great work. May the Lord continue to bless you. Now time to have some cake. 🙏🏽🙏🏽😃☝🏽”

“went in on Monday for my first time , 2 younger servers working (male and female) were super nice explained a few drinks to me .made my drink super quick. the coffee was excellent I am extremely satisfied Thanks Guys”

“It's relatively small, and it's a little pricey I bought a single carrot cupcake for $5.38 which made me think the cupcake would be a moist yummy cupcake but it honestly wasn't and the frosting wasn't special it tasted like the frosting you buy pre-made at the store. I like that they are open 24/7, I went around 11:25pm, there was homeless people around so not sure I'd feel safe as a college student. A homeless guy came in asking if we could buy him some alcohol for him, in the end he just walked out with it. I feel like there should be better security since this coffee shop and the shop next to it sell alcohol. The employees and customers deserve a security guard at night because one may never know what a homeless person might do. Aside from the pastry and blended coffee I tried from the shop the guy working there was very kind and efficient.”

“Very unique hotel. Excellent location in Cherry Creek that has this cozy, urban feel. We LOVED all the games in the lobby. Super cool place!❤️”

“Not bad for early morning breakfast 430am

Parking: Don't think parking would be that good at a later time alot of business in that lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly”

“Excellent food! generous portions,great seasoned food, sauces are great,prices are reasonable and service is outstanding. They know what they are doing and get your food out quick! ?”

“I went for some tacos about 7 minutes ago, and they were excellent, very tasty. The meats were very good, the tortillas were exquisite, and above all, the service from the gentleman with the mustache was very friendly. This is my first time there, and it's been 24 hours. I have to go back. It will be my favorite taqueria.”

“The food is always amazing, the employees are super friendly and they always get it out incredibly fast, even when they’re busy! I always get the super papas, but with carnitas instead of carne asada, and it’s always perfect! And I pick up my order inside and it’s always spotless in there.”

“I wanted to Thank Christian and his coworker for the awesome customer service I received tonight. Although I had Reverse shoulder replacement surgery. They put a smike on my face. Thank you guys for all you do. You are the best”

“Went through the drive thru at about 3:30 am on 1/27/25 and had an absolutely great experience with Carlos C. He was so polite and helpful and really went above and beyond!! He should get a raise and recognition!”

“Taco’s are my favorite. Haven’t had anything I didn’t like.”

“clean place, delicious food 😋🤗”

“This restaurant(s) is so unique and incredibly sophisticated no matter what venue you are looking for this is the place! The atmosphere is awesome due to the incredible décor, large screen, a multitude of different type of seating, large TV’s located all around the bar! The service and restaurant is second to none! The bartenders are so professional and friendly. Believe it or not we were actually asked if we were satisfied with our drinks! We were politely and professionally served our many food and drink selections! When our pizza slices were served, my mouth dropped, because I have never seen slices of pizza so huge! I have not had a slice of pizza that was so good with just the right amount of tasty toppings on mine! We ordered chicken wings, half naked and half buffalo wing sauce. The chicken wings had been fried to perfection and was so good we could not make up our minds which type of chicken wings was the best, so we called it a pleasingly tie!”

“The loaded fries with falafel were really good! They make the fries and falafels to order so it was really fresh. I appreciated that the gravy is vegetarian and the options to customize the toppings. Friendly and helpful service. All together a good value for a reasonable price.”

“"I wish I could I could stay here, but I cant" - my five year old. I love the brootle poodle 💜”

“It’s been too long since I’ve returned to this gem. Fantastic service, creative dishes that use only the freshest ingredients available. Perfect date night, whether it’s your first date or 50th anniversary. Highly recommend.”

“The guy working morning of 12/26 was awesome. They worked with southwest to get my credit card back after I forgot it at the bar. They were also nice and the spot was a good hangout while at the airport”

“great food, served quick, and very delicious!”

“Dined here for the first time last night. Great meal!! We had the 3 veg/vegan dishes. I will definitely return and try some of the chicken dishes. Relaxing atmosphere, calm and no feeling of being rushed. Glad to support a local, small business. I will be returning many times!”

“Best green chile on the planet! Try the chile relleno burrito smothered in green chile. Your life will never be the same.”

“With a vast menu with Indian and Mediterranean fusion dishes, it's quite delicious! If you like heat with your food, go Medium and Hot. We had Mango Lassi, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Calzones. There are vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. Baklava is also really great.”

“Great, attentive, and friendly staff. Food is fantastic, Excellent choices for all. Amazing mussels and pasta to Octopus that is unique and delicious! Highly recommend”

“I would move to Denver just for this place alone!! Love love love!!”

“Great Charcuterie Boards, and an excellent Espresso Martini. Angela Neri, the owner, pays keen attention to detail.”

“We love dining at Super Mega Bien whenever we are in town! Fabulous food”

“Variety like I have never seen before! Menu offers so many choices that I had to venture beyond my tried and true favorites. I usually have Palak or Saag Paneer. I tried a different paneer and the honey curry. Chef noted my desire to stay on the mild spice side. The tandoori chicken wings were among the tops of my wings experience. If you are there for happy hour (starts at 3 pm), you must try them! I ordered a large amount of food so I’d have leftovers to take home.”

“I had the pleasure to eat at this fine establishment over the weekend with some great people! Let’s just say Sushi Den do not disappoint for my fist experience and will definitely be back. Everything was awesome from the cocktails to the Nigiri and high end Whisky!”

“👌Cocktails were on point, lived the coravin wine selection, steak cooked perfectly.”

“Rhianna and the rest of the staff are awesome !!!”

“We had such a nice time for our office holiday gathering. Great service, fun atmosphere and tasty unique small plates.”

“The service was phenomenal and our server was great. The food was amazing. The place was super fun and hopping, but it's really noisy in there and hard to have a good conversation. Nevertheless, a place to be seen and to go for sure.”

“Bistro Barbés was the ideal place for a date night, special occasion, or simply just a place to treat yourself. The food was delicious, the wine was delectable and the chef was a delight! Consider yourself blessed if you get a chance to order the duck leg confit. Will be recommending this to all our friends!”

“Extremely friendly staff, nice music, and open LATE. The lamb and saag are great, the dry chili tofu appetizer is hands down the best tofu dish I've had to date. Looking forward to exploring the burgers and Greco-Mediterranian parts of the menu in future visits. If you're there during bar hours, The mango chili cocktail is also great.”

“Super friendly staff and delicious food! I got the bison ribs with a side of their Osage Hominy and the Wojapi Cup + Fry Bread. 10/10”

“Dave’s Hot Chicken serves juicy, flavorful chicken with spice levels for everyone. Jay, our server, was friendly, attentive, and made the visit even better. Highly recommend!”

“Do not miss this small gem near downtown Denver! Whether your knowledge of tea is extensive or very basic, the staff seems happy to help you find a brew you'll like. I enjoyed my first matcha, alongside an absolutely delightful salmon sandwich. Allow some time to browse the eclectic book selection, and just enjoy the vibe.”

“Great place! Stopped by with family on a quick trip to Denver. Great food and coffee, service was amazing. They need a place like this in SLC.”

“best salad I've ever eaten”

“We had lunch on a Sunday, so the restaurant was not busy. We shared the veg head calzone and champagne salad, which were both amazing! The ingredients of both the calzone and the salad were very fresh and flavorful! This was our second time at the restaurant, and we will definitely go back!”

“Great pizza and wings. Fun for the kids and always wonderful service!”

“So delicious!!! Highly recommend, I’ll be back!!! Totally worth the hour drive from up north!!!”

“If you see my profile I rarely post reviews. At this time I was craving some coffee and saw that this café got 5.0 stars. I came to try it and this was one of the best experiences with coffee. I have been to many cafés and countries and this was one of the best if not the best. When I tasted their coffee I wished I was living in Colorado just to start every morning with this spectacular taste. The only thing I could say is, please keep impressing people with your tasty coffee. And thank you so much for one of the best experiences.”

“Cute, simple, and delicious. All you need from a coffee shop. The drinks have clever names, the staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, and the matcha is so dang good. Don't skip.

“Of all the Popeye's I've visited, this one is the best. The counter staff is friendly and the chicken is done to perfection. My only complaint is that the spicy is not very spicy, but this isn't The Big Easy. The atmosphere is a little cramped. It's a little difficult to know who's waiting to order and who's waiting to pick up. But the food is worth a little confusion, and I've found all the patrons to be pretty patient and convivial.”

“I have been going there for over 40 years. It is one of the best family restaurants in the neighborhood. My favorites are the Greek Chicken and Mexican Hamburger wings. The service is very personal; they all know you by name, and hugs are a delight. The owners are the best and treat you like you are part of the family. Every holiday, the decorations are professionally set up making the atmosphere calming and enjoyable to look at. They are big supporters of the Girl Scouts. Thank You to the Looking Good Restaurant.”

“I bought the cajun chicken avocado. It was very tasty. The staff was very friendly with assisting me with my choice of sandwich. Faydrick was friendly and possesses excellent customer service skills. I will revisit in the near future.”

“I have been coming here for many years. The food is outstanding, and the service is great. Will be sad to see them moving to their new location North Federal, but it will not stop me from not going there for the food and service.”

“We went to Shondiz last night for dinner and it was excellent. We were served barley soup (ashe joh) when we first got there and it was the best I ever had. I ordered mast-o-mousir to start and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered zereskh polo with chicken and I had the juheh kebab. Both meals were great. The owner Mohammed came out to talk to us and he was really friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“Love the chicken fried steak with holindae sause!”

“I love Chai, this is my favorite”

“Phi is INCREDIBLE. Big smile which is very welcoming. He was super attentive & asked if I knew what I wanted to order. I asked for a few more minutes please He gave me some suggestions. He came back to check on me to be sure I liked the food. Phi was great with follow up to refill water. He encouraged me to come back soon! AWESOME WAITER!”

“gooooood food especially the menudo=)”

“Los mariscos son riquísimos. Super recomendados. Los tacos también super ricos. Les recomiendo este lugar.”

“Been here many times. The old owners are now gone. The new owners straight from Europe The Giaqnni family has changed the plate ware, expanded wine and beer, same chef's and are starting a lunch menu and they say soon a breakfast menu. I had 15 for dinner Saturday night. Food great, fun and wait staff engaging. Owners visited as well. You will like the new settings.”

“We tried this last night. Best pizza we have ever had!!!”

“I am new lover of NY style pizza! crispy tasty crust, all fresh products and cheeses used, and you can tell! The pizza, garlic knots, and create your own stromboli was perfect for our party. The homemade tiramisu was a great finale for the evening. It is so good to support local business with kind and passionate owners that are on the grounds to assist you!”

“great customer service & atmosphere”

“Best food and best service! I love this place!”

“Great food and drinks not to expensive”

“During my recent visit to the restaurant, I was truly impressed by the exceptional service from waiter Sam and bartender Charli. Sam went above and beyond, providing personalized recommendations and ensuring every meal was perfect, while Charli created exceptional cocktails. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking top-notch service and a welcoming vibe”

“Visited Denver in September and found Sam’s across the road from our hotel. We had breakfast every day as the menu was massive as were the portions. The service was friendly and efficient. I even came home with a baseball cap in the colours of my local soccer team 😂 Loved Denver and loved Sam’s”

“this is a great experience in dining...the cheese popovers are the best I've ever had and so addicting!! the wait staff and gouchos are on the ball with whatever kind of meat u want...I highly recommend this place. the salad bar is beyond fancy...you have to do this at least once in your life as it's quite pricy!!! but well worth it!!!”

“Great food, really nice waitress. Has a really nice atmosphere.”

“The food is delicious... the service I recommend asking for Brenda, Daniela and Mirja because the others are very bad-tempered and a recommendation is to remodel the location”

“Great atmosphere and delicious food!!”

“Very nice dinner and salad bar. Our server Syd was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Great personality!”

“The Buckhorn Exchange makes the best apple pie you will ever put in your mouth.”

“This is what you get when you ask the locals who has the good quality food.. I will make a point to come back here whenever I’m in town! 🥵 Spicy Yaki-Soba 🌶️ 🔥 Lup cheong (Chinese sausage), added pork belly, garlic, scallion, ginger, baby bok-choy, tri-color peppers, fresno chili, sambal hoisin, miso Mongolian sauce, soy sauce, pistachio, daikon sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, SO.

“Seen a post on Facebook bout this place. Went for our wedding anniversary and it was very nice. Food and drinks were bomb food very fulfilling. Staff was great always checking on us. Definitely going back”

“Original cocktails and food selections. I haven’t seen anything similar at any other restaurant. Absolutely fabulous. Atmosphere is fun and eclectic.”

“We made a reservation at 7pm on a Friday night and were sat immediately with great views! To my disappointment, the calamari appetizer we ordered was very rubbery and dry, as well was made up of mostly vegetables. We had also waited quite a while for the appetizer and entré but it did seem busy and the staff were very nice. As an entré we ordered the chicken paremesan and shrimp pasta which was phenomenal!!! Overall it was a good experience but I was disappointed with the appetizer, especially for how much I paid for it (almost $20).”

“I was surprised with dinner for my Birthday, and you did not disappoint! Not only was everything we tried ( I'm seriously going to dream about the harissa eggplant fries) but the attention to detail and the fresh flavors were out of this world! Additionally, special attention was paid to our food allergies and It was a huge weight off our shoulders to not have to worry about that! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it! We had the harissa eggplant fries, the pork cheeks, the Lebanese garlic dip, the spanakopita, the carne paella, and kept everything off with the chocolate torte! phenomenal food and staff!”

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.”
