“Seriously one of the best meals of my life! Back in Denver on 20th August and coming back!“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Denver. Best ambiance, best food, best wine, best service. Love everything about it!“

“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.“

“Service was phenomenal and drinks were fantastic! Charles took amazing care of us!“

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

“I leave this review solely for the waitress we had because is was awesome and I feel bad I didn’t get her name but I think it starts with an M.

Anyway we were out celebrating our friends birthday and she was just a great waitress like had not had that dining experience from a waitress in a MINUTE. She wasn’t all over our business but she was attentive and kind. Kudos to her!“

“What a phenomenal experience my husband and I had tonight! First off I should say we have never experienced a dining experience like this before and we were not sure what to expect, but we were blown away from start to finish! As we first walked into the restaurant we were greeted with a huge smile and warm welcoming from the host Lana, who kindly sat us at our table. Immediately as we were sat we were greeted by Adam the bartender with a glass of champagne! I mentioned I was pregnant and couldn’t not drink and he immediately apologized and offered me a sparkling nonalcoholic champagne. My husband also ordered a cocktail and Adam was very thoughtful and made me a mocktail (actually 2 different ones) both were absolutely delicious. After we were settled in that’s where the fun began. The Head chef Michael came to the table and introduced himself and explained the menu along with asking us if we had any dietary restrictions, or didn’t like anything specifically. We ended up going with the Chefs tasting menu to get the full experience. Each course was brought out by the Head chef or a staff member and was explained to us in detail of how he came about the dish itself along with how it was made and the ingredients. From the mini plates to the main course to the mini dessert to the main dessert everything was made with passion and love for food! My husband and myself are both very blown away from this whole experience and very grateful for the way the staff and the entire team worked together to make this an unforgettable experience that will never be forgotten!“

“Went to the Plimoth for the first time last night! What a Culinary treat. Farm to table food created by a chef that owns the restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“This isn’t your normal airport fare! The food was delicious!“

“This place is amazing starting from the incredible experience with Robin whom went above and beyond to Coordinate an amazing event. Meegan and Orlando were so incredibly personable! I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food was great. I got to meet the awesome serving team and head chef, everyone was kind and made sure to check on us. I watched all the staff work together to make sure our food for a party of 40 was delivered quickly. I appreciate you all for everything you did to make it a successful event and for the hard work everyone puts in here. From our team to yours cheers🥂!“

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

“What an outstanding experience it is for the tasting menu, we devoured every succulent mouthful! Incredible flavors, we loved every course, we enjoyed so many creative cocktails, and mocktails, hot toddies, a gastronomic feast for your taste buds! Of course the service was just as outstanding! The dessert was orgasmically good! As a lifelong white wine drinker, I enjoyed the best glass of white wine ever thank you, Sam, for introducing a new variety grape I just love“

“Love this place! Great service and fantastic food!“

“We were in town for my Birthday, and booked a reservation based on a great recommendation. Everything about this dinner was nothing short of outstanding!! The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere made this night so perfect. Absolutely amazing!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Salad . Great service and a cozy vibe. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“cubano or beet salad are my go-to! Can't go wrong with anything though 😁 Great food, business and people!!“

“Excellent food and service! Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“

“A friend who frequently travels to Denver raved about this restaurant, so I was eager to experience it for myself. Upon arrival for brunch, My other friend and I received a warm welcome and prompt seating. Our waitress Erika and her assistant were exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was a true culinary delight . I can’t recommend Rioja enough!“

“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!“

“First time here & absolutely love it. Great ambiance, delicious food, & wonderful service!“

“We had a great experience last night at Ocean Prime! Derek the Mgr was fantastic. His recommendations were spot on. Luis the server was amazing! All the attention to details did not go unnoticed at our table! Thank you for a fabulous dining experience“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere 💕“

“Fantastic dining experience. Worth the trip every time!“

“Olive & Finch offers delicious food, a variety of options, mouth-watering pastries, unique (and also simple) coffee options, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The patio is a great spot for a sunny Sunday brunch or there is a nice indoor dining area with a variety of table sizes, but you may get drawn in to buying some pastries on your way out! I have been a few times with no problem parking nearby on the street, especially on the weekend. They were able to modify my meal, which was a nice touch because I wanted a higher protein, low carb option.“

“We dined at Saverina on Valentines Day 2026 and had a wonderful dinner with great service. The dinner was prix fixe, with a menu that completely satisfied my wide palate but not quite that of my wife. However, we worked that out to everyone's satisfaction and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. I knocked down my rating on ambience because the temperature in the space was too cool, particularly where we were seated by the window and under an HVAC vent. Otherwise, we will likely revisit soon.“

“We really enjoyed our birthday dinner for two at Hillstone. We shared "Osaka Style" pressed sushi, spinach & artichoke dip and grilled heirloom artichokes - a delicacy IMHO. I chose a New Zealand white wine (having just returned from NZ) and it was excellent. The restaurant was near capacity when we arrived and we were seated within a few minutes of the time of our reservation. Table service, the wait staff and the assistant manager who checked on us were very attentive, very professional and very friendly. Top flight in every way.“

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

“Best food in Denver and the only good late night food in lodo.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Denver!! Highly recommend it!“

“Table 6 in Denver’s Alamo Placita neighborhood delivered an incredible dining experience with each dish showcasing farm‑to‑table freshness and creative flavors. From the tender broccolini and creamy carrot hummus to the perfectly seared grilled beef coulotte and rich duck confit, everything I ate was exceptional, and the chocolate beignets provided a decadent finish. The service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed, making the evening both comfortable and relaxed. The atmosphere is chill and unpretentious, perfect for a laid‑back night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“GREAT PLACE, GREAT GOOD!!“

“we had such an amazing experience for Mother's day brunch. We look forward to returning for dinner.“

“I reserved a seat at the bar! The place was fancy and beautiful. The jazz band was amazing and really classy. David’s group was inspiring, and the piano player blew me away with cool chords and original songs. The service was awesome, and the drinks were top-notch. Great place! 🎹“

“If you're looking for a venue to casually watch music in a boisterous crowd, maybe cut the rug for a few, this place isn't it. If you're looking for an evening of Jazz from the best local talent and national traveling shows paired with classic cocktails and a solid wine list, this is your place. The intimate theater seating and open stage make the perfect backdrop for the experience. It's been a great addition to the downtown theater district. The music scene is rich and varied in Denver with all sorts of venues for all sorts of tastes. This is the place where you can get a little dressed up, avoid loud crowds and just have a full, immersive music moment. I always have a terrific time!“

“Be aware they are now charging a “service charge”. It’s was not noted on the menu nor did the server inform us of the charge. The only reason I found out is I requested a printed receipt. The receipt recommended an additional tip be between 2-7% on top of the charge. Yet when I paid the machine prompted an additional 15 or 18% tip so I tipped 18 even tho our service was bad cuz I use to be a server. The unfortunate part is I didn’t look at the receipt for over a week after I visited. I’m very disappointed that I’m being charged a “service fee” and at no time was it ever brought to my attention that this is a new thing.“

“Hidden gem in Lakewood for breakfast/lunch. Fresh made biscuits daily. They always have buttermilk and a rotating biscuit of the day with great sandwich options 😋 solid coffee as well“

“What an incredible experience! I’ve never been to a restaurant where the chef does it all.. not only is that aspect impressive but everything is incredible with so much flavor and so much thought behind each dish. I love that it feels like a small and cozy spot. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“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 have eaten here twice within the last 2 months. First time, I had French toast, eggs over easy, sausage, and hash browns, and it was all delicious. The second time, I had the breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs over easy, cheese and bacon on sourdough, and that was also delicious! Their food is like home-cooked and not frozen, pre-made food.“

“Cherry Cricket Burger Bar absolutely knocked it out of the park! First off, the remodel and vibe are incredible — such a fun, fresh atmosphere. I’ve been very cautious about eating out lately, and OMG… huge win that they offer burger bowls! I always order my bun on the side, but I didn’t even have to because they have an amazing burger bowl option for any of their burgers. Another thing I loved: when you order fries, you can choose a single or double portion instead of being forced into getting two sides. Someone definitely put a lot of thought into this menu, and I appreciate it! The bison burger was to die for — seriously drooling just thinking about it. We will 100% be back! *Broomfield location“

“We had the most amazing experience at The Original. It was our birthday and my sister and I went to enjoy breakfast. We had the most genuine, kind server name Teej and he made the whole experience just absolutely amazing. The management and Teej were so sweet to us and just made us feel so so special. And then on top, the food was so tasty and flavorful. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone to go enjoy food and the wonderful service here!“

“This was a surprise and delight - very cool atmosphere- fabulous drinks, great service/food and amazing views“

“We ordered the “walk with us” & it was sensational!

The service was wonderful and we were even able to chat with the chef. There were flavors and textures I never knew existed. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely delicious.

We both left full and happy with the selection of appetizers and sides as well as the serving sizes for two.

note the 22% service charge wasn’t disclosed prior to receiving the check… but if you aren’t able to tip you probably shouldn’t be eating out.“

“Great food. Delicious taste. Incredible service“

“Everything is delicious! Staff is very nice and friendly, too!“

“Enjoyed our anniversary celebration during happy hour! Our waitress was wonderful!“

“My book club went in during valentines wknd and I’m sure our server was disappointed we decided to order ala carte rather than their $$ tasting menu but she was very gracious and gave us great service nonetheless. We ordered a wide variety of things and while I didn’t try everything - the katsu was a hit, the mushrooms and calamari were also good…the hummus plate on the other hand was a slap in the face. It was maybe a tablespoon of hummus with a few scraps of bread. On the topic of cheap toast - the GF focaccia was literally just toast. Not sure why you would force focaccia to be GF and then do such a bad job of it. For a higher end restaurant, they either need to remove that item or do it justice. Drinks were great & they seemed to have a good wine selection.“

“Well deserving of its praise!! We brought our huge family here & ate pretty much everything on the menu. Great atmosphere, wonderful & attentive staff. We walked in at 4 on a Friday & sat right away.

If you come for happy hour, the tinned sardines are a MUST. They come with freshly made, warm bread, incredible butter & a tomato pairing. So crazy good - we ordered 3. Their pizza dough/bread is just that good. Fluffy, airy, crisp. Delightful.

Their new squash is also tasty! A perfectly soft and sweet squash paired with goat cheese.

Pizza - the daisy is wonderful & a must!! Well balanced in toppings & flavors. We also thoroughly enjoyed the white pizza! Creamy, yet somehow refreshing.

Pasta - Nicely made pasta, al dente! The sauces themselves lean on the saltier side, so it's definitely intended for sharing and having one or two bites per person at most.

The olive oil cake dessert is so good! Lovingly paired with lemon curd to cut the fattiness.

Worth stopping by just for the bread alone.“

“We went for the Liverpool game while visiting from out of town. We would love visit again soon.“
