This was not my first visit to Wildflower. With dear friends in town I selected this unique LoHi restaurant. Unfortunately, it will be my last visit. The menu, while limited, offers some interesting dishes, creative cocktails and an approachable wine selection. The dining room presents a nice ambiance and allows for easy conversation without a lot of noise. The misstep was in the dining experience. The front of house warned as we checked in ( exactly on time ) that we must be done by 8:15. He preceded to offer a detailed explanation of the tasting menu. Then the waiter ran though the same details and was quite eager to sell us more dishes. In the end we had plenty of dishes without his extra suggestions. The waiter also mentioned the time limit. Throughout the eve we were rushed and reminded 3x of the desired exit time. We were never offered dessert and were instead handed a check as we scrambled to finish our second bottle of wine. For the prices and considering built in gratuity we were extremely disappointed. Skip this and seek a more relaxing LoHi dining experience.

Another wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary at our favorite restaurant in Denver. We've made coming to Wildflower our anniversary tradition because we know the experience will be amazing and we always feel so welcomed and appreciated. Oren is a master host/GM, the best ever, truly! Bailey and Katie took great care of us too. All the staff work seamlessly as a team. Aiden, the chef, creates thoughtful and unique dishes which I appreciate when I go out for dinner because often times I feel like I could have made something similar at home. Here the food is exciting and full of flavor! Thank you Wildflower team for another fantastic dining experience! We love you all!

We enjoyed another delightful meal at Wildflower. This lovely neighborhood gem never disappoints, from craft cocktails and starters through desert. The menu is innovative (as are the cocktails), and the service is exemplary. The ambiance in this cozy, interesting space really adds to the special dining experience.

Have a special occasion to celebrate? This is the place to go! The service is the best I've found in Denver post-pandemic. The ambiance is like a bohemian speakeasy with a grand cocktail bar. Oh, and the food??? Exquisite! We cannot wait to come back and try more. Our favorite dish was the Ricotta Cavatelli. The pasta is homemade and the smoked cheesy pumpkin sauce is drool worthy. Cheers to a great celebratory experience!

I don't know why I don't hear more buzz about this place. This was my second time dining here and we did the premium tasting this time. They are doing some truly wonderful things in that kitchen. The standout dish for us was the Spanish octopus, but everything was delicious. The ambiance and service are fantastic and the value for the meal received is incredible. This is the kind of place that makes me want to keep coming back for more.

There are a lot of great restaurants in Denver, and then there's Wildflower. Truly spectacular food and service, and such a fantastic value - I would've happily paid more for the top-notch quality that we received!

I hosted a client group of 7 and could not have asked for a better experience. Oren, Tracy and the rest of the Wildflower team exhibit hospitality on a level that is hard to find in Denver. The chef's tasting menu blew us all away.
Go for the Bouquet of Wildflowers. It is a variable chefs choice of a 5 plate meal from the existing menu, with some potential changes depending on allergies or preference. You can request not to have certain dishes considered, but everything was phenomenal and the dishes were so flavorful. I was extremely pleased with the dishes we got and the service was prompt.
Looking for a great restaurant on our last day in Colorado we were lucky to get a reservation on a Monday night at Wildflower! You're welcome at the door by host/manager Oren. Very enthusiastic and welcoming! The restaurant is beautiful with a great little bar serving delicious cocktails. The ambiance is loungy with sophisticated energy. The food was exquisite. The Kitchen sends out an amuse bouche...the perfect little bite to get your taste buds flowing! The menu is easy to navigate with an option to do a tasting menu! Every bite had a special flavor to test your pallet! Wildflower left an impression on what a restaurant should be!

Always a treat. This time, we brought friends of ours from Wyoming. They could not have enjoyed it more. Oren and team always provide the warmest atmosphere, as if we were home with craft cocktails, a gourmet chef and a wonderful selection of wines, built for all price points. ❤️

Both food and service were phenomenal. There were four of us and we chose the tasting menu and enjoyed all of our courses! We loved the focaccia, caviar tart, duck, and wagyu beef. The ambience of the restaurant is excellent.

The Bouquet of Wildflowers was great! The octopus was incredible, cooked absolutely perfectly. The scallop crudo was my favorite dish overall, the flavors were interesting and well-balanced. All of the dishes were so good and they accommodated my gluten allergy. I would recommend this place and would happily return!Dietary restrictions: They asked about any dietary restrictions when we ordered and accommodated everything well.Parking: Street parking. Can fill up as the evening goes on.

Excellent food and drinks. The service was great. I highly recommend their omekase style tasting menu. They were able to accommodate a vegan dining with us while still bringing us the same menu items. Everyone enjoyed what they brought out.
