Id say these are the best cocktails we've had in a long time in Denver. We didnt try the wines because they dont have anything remotely sweet or fruity without it being insanely bold. We got the focaccia bread and my gosh it was amazing it didnt even need the butter but my husband absolutely loved it.

Delish & Enjoyable + great service Many gluten free options & terrific wine selection too My wife ate most of the dessert since so good!

Terribly disappointed with the whole experience. It felt like none of the staff had any training that you would expect from a higher end restaurant. Our waiter completely ignored us for a good 10 minutes even though he walked by several times and even talked with the table right next to us. He only needed to say something like, I'll be right with you guys, and we would have been fine. Then everything was just painfully slow the whole meal. Drinks took forever, the apps came out super fast but none of them were very impressive. Then we finished them and the table was cleared and the waiter never came back to take our dinner orders. We had to chase him down and ask to order entrees. We put in 4 entrees and 3 sides to share. 3 of the 4 entrees finally came after a long wait and the other entree and all 3 sides were nowhere to be seen. They finally found the other entree and then informed us they forgot to put in our sides. They then “rushed” the sides but by the time they came out we were done eating. Bottom line, the service was terrible and the food was mediocre at best. We will NOT be returning.

The velvet cellar is one of my favorite places to go when i need a good night out with my husband or my sister and want to impress. Their charcuturie board is to die for and their steak frites are some of the best ive had in denver, which is saying a lot considering steak usually disappoints me at restaurants. While I dont remember our servers name, she was extremely nice and courteous towards us making sure she checked for allergies at our table and making wine recommendations for my sister. I will absolutely be back soon and hope you will too!

We stumbled upon this gem in looking for a nice place to sit for appetizers and drinks. The chicken legs and crabcake were delicious! Wonderful martini and red wine and a wonderful server named Maria. We enjoyed our experience and we will be back for a full meal next time!

Was excited for this place based on all the good reviews but neither the food nor service was very good which left me feeling disappointed. Great location and cool bldg but won't be returning to spend money here.

We had an outstanding experience at The Velvet Cellar! We had 2 cocktails an Old fashioned and Sweater Weather both were very well made. We shared the squid ink pasta which was absolutely delicious. We had a reservation for 6:30 and because the service was stellar we were done by 7:40! Loved the atmosphere and definitely gave off a cool vibe! Thank you for an incredible winter date night!

Just average- nothing special. Service was very slow the server was flatand it just didn't stand out. My husband liked his food. My friend said their Diet Coke was the worst ever- it was watered down and fkat. They brought him another one, but it was the same. He drank it, but we will now always joke about the worst Diet Coke Ever.

Wonderful little gem with great menu items that will please everyone. The staff was friendly and very helpful .

Wonderful experience! Food and service both excellent. Sweet potato Crème Brûlée recommended by our server was out of this world. Short walk from Union Station too.
Experience was incredible. Had the risotto, fried chicken, short ribs, and the wine flights. 10/10 experience!

We went for our anniversary and from the second we walked in every staff member made it special! 25% off bottles on Wednesday is also a great deal!

Unfortunately our entire experience was ruined at the very end by the manager Deanna. Or perhaps it was a combination of the slow service by our server, (35 minutes with no food or drinks after ordering!!!) and then the manager having the AUDACITY to ask us to tell us that someone was waiting on our table. And basically shoo us out.🤣 We would have been done an HOUR AGO had the service been anywhere near decent. Food was good but what a TERRIBLE ending to a $200+ meal for two.
Susan
Amazing food, fantastic staff, beautiful decor. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary here. Top notch.

The food was delicious-started with some calamari, a crab cake and some focaccia bread. Dinner was lamb chops, roast chicken, pork chop and a salad. Finished off with a little pot of chocolate. The service was very attentive. It was a great evening!
