New American Restaurants in Denver, CO

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and excellent service“

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

“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. ❤️“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere 💕“

“Janet was a fun, attentive and professional server! The whole staff was accommodating. Our group had a great time!“

“Love the cozy, airy vibe here; the super friendly and knowledgeable staff; and the creative, flavorful dishes. The pricing is very reasonable, too.

The chicken liver toast ($10) is not only gorgeous, but also delicious and full of different textures. Their Texas toast is made with high-quality heirloom grains, which I also thought was cool.

Popcorn chicken ($10) was fantastic! Juicy inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, but not too crunchy or overbreaded. Highly recommend any of their fried chicken dishes after having that!

The sashimi platter was beautiful and tasted great, but at $26, I’d honestly pass on this next time and get sashimi at a sushi spot.

The dry-aged half duck was sooooooo good! Perfectly cooked and so much flavor, even in the purple lettuce leaves on the side (not sure exactly what they were). It’s the most expensive main at $78, but considering the quality and that it is easily big enough for two, I’d say that’s reasonable. I’d love to try the pork chop char siu next time ($65) — and their wagyu short rib is only $58 (all these are meant to be for two people).“

“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“

“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!“

“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🥂!“

“Everything tasted fabulous! Highly recommend!!“

“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. 💕“

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

“Excelente atención!! Buen vino, apetizzer y comida“

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

“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.“

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

“Dazzle is a community hub! We are proud to be a community partner and grateful for their contribution to Denver Sister Cities International and the many non-profits they support.The new venue is inspiring and we look forward to years to come of keeping the music scene in Denver thriving!“

“I love going to McCoy's.
It has become one of my regular stops on Sundays. Sometimes, even on Saturdays, we usually have breakfast. But they have a great menu with lots of options, there is something for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive to your needs.
We also went there for Thanksgiving dinner, and their Thanksgiving dinner was the best. This has become one of my favorite places to eat.

Vegetarian options: I am not sure about their vegetarian options. But the staff is friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the menu.They are also very willing to change anything. I am allergic to eggs. And when I get breakfast, I just have them omit the eggs from any of my dishes. And they are happy to do it.

Kid-friendliness: I haven't seen very many kids or babies here. It looks like it would be kid friendly.“

“We loved everything about this place. The food was spectacular. We had the Pork Loin and the Lamb Sausage. couldn't recommend more highly. Service and environment only add to the experience.“

“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!“

“Amazing EDM / Vinyl music on Sundays! Also, THE BEST Croque Madame sandwich in Denver! I would eat it everyday for breakfast if I could.“

“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.“

“Delicious food! The Ranch BLT is on point and their Sour Wheat beer “You do You” is my fav.“

“Absolute Must Try ! Amazing Bloody Mary , I had the “Stairway To Heaven “ Bloody Mary” & Huevos Rancheros …. Great Food & Great Service. Definitely will return ‼️ I couldn’t add pics but I did put them in the comments 😊“

“In a sea of overly pretentious bars in Lower Downtown (LoDo) Denver that try to be something they aren’t or will never become, Ice House stands relatively alone as knowing and being what it is… A Neighborhood Bar… with great prices, food and the most welcoming atmosphere in the area.

The service is great, with most of the staff being long tenured and further cultivating the notion of a neighborhood bar, where you’re met with not only a friendly face, but also a friend. Nick, Victoria , Adam, Martin, Erin, Kevin and Ashley, plus so many others are what truly make this place special and remaining the place for those that truly appreciate the fact that there is a “ Cheer’s” bar at sheer doorsteps from both Union Station and Coor’s Feild.

The food is great… the pizza is top notch and formally staid bar food is made a bit more interesting with the unique options - like cream cheese on a BBQ pizza - that work exceptionally.

The patio is amazing and the interior, while bemoaning “neighborhood bar” is not only inviting, with a huge circular bar that invites interaction and conversation, is exactly what it needs to be… open, spacious, and fun (pool table, Golden Tee and other social gaming devices). It shouldn’t be anything else!!!

If you’re looking for a fun, chill place that has great staff, great food and where you may just find yourself looking for a “home base” with interesting people, and and even more exceptional staff, you’d be hard pressed to find anything better than the Ice House Tavern.“

“Had an absolute amazing breakfast ! The food was great and the ambiance was lovely. We shared a burrito and skillet and tried the pumpkin French toast which was to die for!! Our server McKenzie was awesome. He was super friendly and took good care of us and he was also just adorable. 12/10 recommend!“

“I'd like to say that the food and the atmosphere won us over tonight, but on this rare occasion, our server earned all the accolades! Collin was absolutely delightful. Super knowledgeable, extremely kind, prompt, charismatic and at the end of the meal, we didn't want to leave! As for the food, my husband and I both felt the Caesar salad was the best we have ever had, the ricotta was creamy and flavorful, and our main dish was a special that blew our minds out of the atmosphere. For dessert Collin highly recommend the butterscotch bread pudding. Dont tell him we would have ordered it anyway, because it was so enjoyable to see him so excited about it! If you leave without trying this dessert, you will deeply regret it for the rest of your life. Every single aspect of every dish was well thought through and even the plating was beautiful! 13/10.“

FOOD: 3.5
- Burrata Bowl Salad: 4.0.
- Tomato Mozzarella Pizza: 3.0“

“Absolutely spectacular from start to finish. Denver’s dining scene needed The Regular.“

“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!“

“Great food. Can converse with friends easily there“

“Yard house is a very consistent spot! They always have great service, big menu, and the food is always reasonably priced. This is a great spot if you are traveling and just want something consistent. This location is right off of 16th street mall downtown Denver which is very convenient to many hotels downtown as well!“

“phenomenal food and flavors experienced tonight along with an upbeat mix of music that I guarantee you'll be bobbing your head along with.. everything from esoterra produce to uni tostada to the bomb pork belly and curry lobster pasta. ON POINT, ya'll“

“Tasting dinner Sunday night. Really enjoyed everything, especially the dessert!“

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

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

“Food portions are small but great because no one can eat those huge portions a lot of restaurants service you. Prices were good and the food was good as well, we will go back and to end the evening, go up to the 19th floor to HALO (roof top) it was awesome and outside and views are great and fire pits keep you warm“

“Every single dish here is absolutely delicious. Shakshuka, benedict, etc. The coffee is excellent. The decor, interior design and ambiance evoke a sense of calm, cozy community. (For awesome cooking videos, please visit cuisinequest on YouTube, no regrets!)“

“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.“

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

“Great, intimate jazz venue. Great beverage selection and food.“

“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“

“GREAT PLACE, GREAT GOOD!!“

“Celebrated my birthday here! From the host to the bartender and our server, everyone was friendly and attentive. Drinks came out fast, and everything we ordered was great. Price is reasonable as well. Highly recommend!

Make a reservation so that you can have one of their velvet booths.“

“What’s not to love? Located right across from the ballpark, The Original is easy to access, bright and welcoming. Spacious with seating options for larger groups, and coat racks next to each booth so a group of 4 can fit more comfortably. They have all the breakfast classics you’re looking for, plus a few you didn’t know you were craving. Portions are more than generous, so we both had food to take home and enjoy. The staff is awesome as well. Looking forward to coming back!“
