“Wow! This store has the hardest working crew I sat and watched I think her name was Lisa she controlled the crew helped an employee who was getting overwhelmed Lisa jumped in helped alleviate the pressure and had all the employees working as a team! My drink was perfect and I’m picky I love this store and will be a regular what a great experience“
“We visited Guard & Grace because it is a Michelin inspector recommended restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice. The food is awesome! Just a bit salty for me. Not many restaurants season a fish 24-hour ahead of time, the black cod is really tasty! Filet Mignon was also really good, loved the desert as well!“
“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 was actually the best meal and dinner experience we've had at Aeasons 52. Service was attentive and friendly! The food we had was delicious. We ordered Martinis and soup for our starters. The Martinis were well mixed and generous. The asparagus and potato leek soup were both excellent. For our entrees we both ordered the salmon. Both of our salmons were cooked perfectly to our requests and they were served with amazing oven roasted potatoes. Overall a great time!“
“Where to begin...the food is unique and beyond delicious. Right now they are offering their spring tasting menu which is amazing!!! The team is fun, knowledgeable and create an unforgettable experience. I will be taking more of my foodie friends so they too can enjoy!!“
“My fiancé and I went to Rioja last night for our anniversary. We made note on our res that we were there to celebrate and the servers were the best! They sent over an unexpected celebratory glass of champagne for the both of us. The service was 10/10, they had wonderful recommendations, kept the table clean from crumbs and dishes etc. Let's start with the drinks- I had the Pisco cocktail which was fun, it's on the sweeter side, if you like a sweet cocktail with mint and grapefruit, this is the drink for you. My partner got the Mediterranean olive oil cocktail - so fun and the presentation was beautiful. The food was unique and inspired. We ordered the set tasting menu, we loved everything we tried. Highly recommend the artichoke tortellini and the venison was cooked to perfection. The restaurant felt high end but not stuffy. Thank you for an awesome date night!!“
“The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was quaint and cozy. We enjoyed eleven dishes, and splurged on the Wagyu Beef which was totally worth it. All of the drinks were creative and expertly paired as well. The restaurant also offered mocktail pairings. Overall it was a memorable experience. I can’t wait to go back.“
“The Denver area has been an enjoyable restaurant experience for us, and we've yet to encounter terrible service or food quality. Root Down is another one of those great experiences.Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. My husband and I are on our healthy lifestyle change adventure. I was concerned we may not be super welcomed due to our appearance as I am overweight. I love to report that there was never a need for that concern at this location. I've read many reviews regarding restaurants like this that indicated a cliqueish nature and a rudeness to newcomers. Our experience was the opposite.Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, with a lot of smiles. We had several seating options and chose the patio to the left of the entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the Denver skyline and the warmth of the heaters outside. It was a very nice atmosphere.The menu is fabulous. Root Down caters to those with specific dietary requirements and needs without a hint of rudeness or hint to inconvenience. They were glad to accommodate, even though we needed none.Spring Salad and Veggie Burgers were what we ordered. Both delightful and delicious. We were impressed by the staging of the food.If you're searching for a friendly place, great atmosphere, and fantastic non-processed foods at a restaurant that supports sustainability, this is a place we highly recommend. It's perfect for vegans, gluten-free menu options, and healthy food options. You will leave feeling better and healthier than when you walked in.Thanks, Root Down, for such a wonderful experience and for providing amazing food options. This is what normal should be!Dietary restrictions: Fully accommodates restrictions and even willing to prepare without any cross contamination.“
“Great spot to get pizza, salads and/or drinks. They have a back area where you can watch sports and sometimes in the summer they set up live music for events. Don't miss out on the Fat Tire Nachos - they are SOOO good!! And end your meal with their Carrot Cake - you won't regret it!“
“Let’s start with the simplistic yet warm ambiance of the restaurant. It feels like a special and even secret space. It’s like walking into someone’s home.The staff are absolutely excellent in their field. The host Jen in particular was charming and fluid in her orchestrating our seating. Which by the way was generously offered to us even though we didn’t have reservations, at 6pm on a Friday night (our original plan fell through don’t judge!)Of course last but not least was the fabulous dynamic dishes we were served. We started with a few little bites that packed a flavorful punch; butternut squash and ricotta surrounded in fried golden puff topped with pomegranate seed melted into the mouth exquisitely.We shared the lamb tartare which was uniquely served with the crunchy bit on top of the tartare. Next up we shared a radicchio salad of sorts with grapefruit, meyers lemon, and black olive ash. A total harmony of delight.We continued into our main dishes, which I was trepidatious to choose the vegetarian option of turnip mushroom cakes with lentils, however I adored my dish and enthusiastically preferred it over my companions swordfish.We finished with a sweet note with their chocolate caramel pannacotta. It was a delightful dichotomy of sweet and salt and smooth and crunchy.Treat yourself to their quality service, ingredients, atmosphere and culinary artistry.“
“This place was our Hero being open til 1am! the service was Excellent. Our craft cocktails were perfect on execution, a lot of places have interesting drinks but they don't always taste good. these were all delicious and balanced. and the sandwich our server recommended was creative and amazing! Only here for 4 days but I feel compelled to go back for another sandwich.“
“Oh, this place is a gem. Service was fast & attentive, the food was phenomenal, and the dessert honey cake was the topping of it all. My partner and I ordered 4 appetizers, shared the goulash entree, & ended with the honey cake and I don’t think anything could have been better. Wonderful place to eat for a lovely Friday night dinner!“
“Hey kiddo is my favorite restaurant on the Tennyson strip and tonight reminded me why. I sat at the bar tonight and was taken care of by Hanna and John - totally. The food here is just phenomenal. Chef Jonas and the GM Brian really have a great thing going here. Their baked oysters are HIGHLY recommended when they have them. Perfectly cooked every time and a extremely sublime dish. Wow. Best fried chicken in town and their caviar service is outstanding. The whole staff is super friendly and I had the best time tonight. Enjoy yourself there with my compliments.“
“This is a fantastic restaurant! Speaking as a celiac, the staff are very knowledgeable about keeping things gluten free and minimizing cross contamination, in part owing to their personal connections with celiacs, and in part owing to their EXTENSIVE experience in fine dining. Yes, the food is delicious, safe, sourced responsibly, treated with care and respect, and brought to life -- not literally lol -- in novel and interesting ways.... But I want to stress, when I say the restaurant is "fantastic," I also mean to say that the staff are exceptionally knowledgeable about the dishes, allergies, and food safety, and the way they work so well and fluidly together gives me confidence there won't be miscommunications resulting in a gluten-poisoned platter! I've eaten here about a dozen times since they opened, strongly recommended. If you have dietary needs like I do, I'd recommend having a brief discussion with your server before you order so they can guide you to a safe and delicious meal that's sure to hit the spot, they're very helpful :)“
“Nocturne is the perfect classy date night spot! I've been several times over the last few years, I still get excited the second I walk past the check in curtains and into such a phenomenal space. The vibes are amazing, cocktails incredible, the staff is lovely, and of course the music is always the best part. Nocturne is absolutely one of my favorite gems in Denver.“
“5 star restaurant food for incredible prices in a casual atmosphere.I has the short rib. The meat was extremely tender, well seasoned and delicious. Fluffy light mashed potatoes, delicious pan sauce.A real game changer for amazing food quickly and affordably.“
“After nearly a decade of anticipation, I finally had the pleasure of stepping through the doors of Potager, and it was every bit as enchanting as I had imagined. For years, I had heard whispers of its culinary prowess and unique ambiance, and to have the opportunity to experience it firsthand was truly a dream come true. The no cell phone policy, which initially intrigued me, became a cherished aspect of the dining experience. In a world where constant connectivity often distracts from genuine connection, Potager provided a sanctuary where conversations flourished and memories were made without the intrusion of screens.I must commend the wait staff for their impeccable service and genuine hospitality.It was the creative pine butter that truly stole the show for me. As someone who has a penchant for unique flavor combinations, I was intrigued by the concept, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The subtle hint of pine intertwined with creamy butter created a symphony of flavors that lingered long after the last bite of golden beets—a culinary masterpiece that I will undoubtedly reminisce about for years to come.In retrospect, my visit to Potager was more than just a dining experience; it was a culmination of nearly a decade of anticipation and a testament to the power of perseverance. As I reflect on the memories made and flavors savored, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to finally experience this culinary haven. Without a doubt, Potager has secured a special place in my heart, and I eagerly anticipate the day when I can return to indulge in its delights once more!“
“We went here for our late Valentine's celebration and it was worth the wait. The food was outstanding and phenomenal! The bone marrow was so tasty. The duck ragu pasta was well-seasoned. The crispy trout was cooked to perfection. The raspberry panna cotta was light, refreshing and well-balanced! I highly recommend it for a date night or special occasion!“
“Simple & Elegant. For me this is one of the greatest compliments. The location is in a wonderful neighborhood, the building is warm and inviting, the menu simple and covers a breadth of savory and sweet ideas all named after towns in North Carolina and a build your own biscuit for those who want to customize. I think the menu had less than a dozen options all focused on biscuits that were just the right size. My Café Latte was very good just wish it had been a little bit hotter. My only issue was the ramkin of jam I purchased was way too small especially for the price. You always need jam with a biscuit.“

“One of the best dining experiences I have had in Denver. The bartender Melody made phenomenal drinks. Food was delicious. The potato gnocchi might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten. We shared the beef brisket and pork tenderloin entrees. Both were 5 stars. Thank you guys for an amazing dinner!“
“We are here for Denver restaurant week and have found a great go to restaurant! Everyone in our party of four loved their dishes, the service was attentive, and my duck confit was amazing. One of the best I’ve ever had. Table 6 is now on our short list of must go places when friends are in town.“
“Excellent first time dining there even though we have lived in the neighborhood for years. John does a great job, the portions are generous and the menu very thoughtful and creative. Plus the crispy skin on the duck confit was spectacular! Highly recommend.“
“Love this place! From the complimentary Prosecco to the pre-dessert almond mousse, and oh my gawd that Panna Cotta! Amazing experience, and fantastic service. Our quaint little neighborhood high end dining spot! And we were able to reserve same day on a Friday! Definitely go!“
“Alex da goat no cap best server here he not playing would be best friends if I knew him outside Kona grill real one frWheelchair accessibility: I can barely walk and they made sure I could get where I needed to go Tommy carried me to my table“
“Westy's is such a cozy family cafe. My fiancé and I have been coming here for years, and even after moving out of Westminster. The food is always flavorful and good. Even if something is wrong they never hesitate to make it right. The service is excellent. We will continue to travel back up to Westminster to come here!“
“I've never had a better server experience before mia at twin peaks she recommended amazing appetizers and drinks, she was very knowledgeable about this place and she was one of the sweetest people I've ever met, her friendly smile and thoughtful recommendations made my time here 10/10 definitely recommend!“
“Adorable restaurant in Stanley marketplace. Great for our date night. The service is impeccable. The food was excellent. I don’t eat much meat but there are options. I tried the tongue out of curiosity and it was incredibly tender. I loved all the dishes. We will definitely we back.“
“Holly and her team did an amazing job putting together a beautiful, delicious bridal shower brunch for my daughter last weekend. She was so responsive as we were in the planning phases and I was delighted with the venue. The food was absolutely delicious and reflected an amazing amount of care… Paying attention to the gluten and dairy allergies we needed to work around. We will definitely be back to this gem of a spot and would recommend it for anybody looking for an event venue or just a place to meet for dinner or brunch!“
“Wow, some of the best meatballs and sashimi I have ever tasted. The service was friendly and helpful at the bar. Bar is fully stocked with the Masive Choices of alcoholic beverages. Lots of locals and repeat customers here. Is easy to see why since everything about this place is amazing. The happy hour (3-6 M-F) is wonderful as well. Highly recommend this place, but do go early since it fills up fast late afternoon and evening.“

“We just left the basketball social house and were super impressed with our experience. Kani was especially pleasant and attentive. The facility is lively and fun with so many great options for playing basketball, eating and drinking, and I love the murals and art. Definitely a great option for tweenagers to adults! Highly recommended!“
“I read the reviews of this place being great burgers and it was correct! Definitely recommend the cricket burger, and the option with green chili was chefs kiss. I built my own burger with a turkey burger and it was okay, but the burger was GREAT! Onion rings where good as well. Cute spot!“

“First visit here for our daughter's 30th birthday and WOW! Besides being seated in the very very back, the staff was amazing. The little touches like confetti on the table was thoughtful and the good and drinks? Outstanding! Had a special lobster tail. It melted in your mouth. Oysters were fresh and tasty and the carrot cake was to die for. The manager came to the table with our food which shows how everyone pitches in. A little claustrophobic in that back room bit still a great experience. We found a new favorite“
“I went twice during a 4 day visit to Denver. The vibe is amazing. The venue is gorgeous and the views to the mountains from the roof top are incredible. Food was delicious! Loved all the seating options to be outside. I will be back often!“
“I don’t like to consider myself a restaurant snob but I do love to try new places with my partner and we have an exclusive list reserved for only the places in Denver that wow us. The list is short and sweet but we decided to take a chance on this place we happened to walk by last weekend. It was date night and we were happy to see that we could make a last minute Friday night reservation here. I knew it would be good but I didn’t expect it to be this good. This place blew me away. Being from New York, the speakeasy vibe immediately hit me and was nostalgic. The minute we sat down, our extremely warm and attentive waitress, Sydney had us giving each other the look we give when we think we’re about to have an above average meal and experience. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was so cozy and chic. The lamb meatballs might be the best dish I’ve tasted in a long time. Among an often dreary Denver food scene, this place is a cut above the rest and I’m so glad we found a new regular spot. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. *chef’s kiss*“
“GREAT EXPERIENCE! The food was interesting, fun, and delicious, as were the drinks. The house was packed but we had plenty of space to sit, phenomenal service, and could actually hear for conversation. We are absolutely coming back!Vegetarian options: Many vegetable forward dishes and clearly marked menu.Dietary restrictions: Clearly identified menu and are actively willing to make modificationsParking: Street parking but there seem to be spots availableKid-friendliness: Fun kids menu and plenty of N/A drinks.“
“Drove out of our way to try Ben’s while passing through Denver. We ordered online. Pickup was fast and easy. Food fresh, tasty and ample. Restaurant appears to be a ghost kitchen. Somehow my teens knew about that concept. Interesting and not a problem. The chocolate cashew pudding was not as creamy as dairy pudding, but a good option for those avoiding dairy.“
“The food here was excellent all around. We tried nearly all of the plates and two of the sandwiches. Would not hesitate to come here again.The atmosphere was like Japanese retro futurism mixed with a 1950's diner. But I'm a good way.We didn't try any drinks, but if they are half as good as the food, then this place is a home run.“
“Jax is a Denver classic. I started going here when I worked up the street 15+ years ago. Denver has changed so much in that time - but Jax has consistently stayed the same - amazing seafood, a fun beverage program, and excellent service are always on the menu. Tonight I had the seafood chowder. I chose it because it's a bit chilly out. It was absolutely perfect. I also had a cocktail from the specials menu called the acid trip - it was transcendental!“
““Visited Pig and Sprout with my family and we were blown away by the incredible balance they’ve struck catering to various dietary needs without compromising on quality. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or a meat-lover, there’s something here for everyone. The ingredients were fresh, the dishes innovative, and each plate was a delightful surprise. From the attentive service to the cozy ambiance, our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Pig and Sprout is a gem that truly understands the importance of inclusivity in dining. Can’t recommend it enough!”“
“I cannot tell you how much I love this place. As transplants to Denver, my wife and I were first just looking for somewhere to watch Liverpool matches.Well, this is the place.But it’s so much more than an LFC pub, it’s a community. It’s the greatest atmosphere and a friendly, very capable staff. The food is delicious, the drinks fresh, and we have met some wonderful friends here.YNWA“
“Great food, way better than expected. My son and fiancé all had a great time.Our waitress Peyton was amazing. She was really busy but made sure to keep up with all of her tables and did a great job doing it I hope you give her a raise. Thank you !“

“We dine often. Pretty solid dinner overall. Really miss the live music and the true table side dessert. The bananas foster is just not the same and the alcohol did not burn off enough with a bic lighter and no heat. Disappointing. Rather it just be made properly and bought out.“
“The food was delicious and the cocktails were excellent. Our server was very attentive and it was cool to not only meet the chef but the dude who made our bread. Convenient parking and a cool walk to the bathroom. Recommend the Tallow candle bread service“
“My boyfriend and I were treated to a dinner at Mizuna and absolutely loved every second of our experience. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were made to feel special, important, and like our business mattered. The real treat, though, was the food. You can tell that care, precision, and passion is put into every dish at Mizuna, matched with perfect wine pairings to make it an even better experience. My boyfriend is a chef and I am a teacher, so it was a treat for us to experience a fine dining experience like this one. We highly recommend Mizuna!“
“Food was pretty phenomenal…like not just this or that but ALL of it. Had the Halibut special had 1/2 lb crab legs. Had the surf & turf, the filet mignon was perfect as was the lobster. The dessert was all to die for. Not as spendy as we thought it was going to be. Perfect anniversary dinner !!“
“Deep-fried cheese curds were yummy, in a very tasty beer batter! Detroit style pepperoni Pizza covered in pepperoni and the edges of the pizza we're crispy and delish. The Panna Cotta for dessert was a perfect ending. The servers were all very helpful, attentive and friendly.“
“Absolutely yummy burgers. I am carnivore and ordered no bun or lettuce or anything but meat cheese and eggs. I ordered a 14 ounce burger patty, blue cheese, over easy egg on top, plus their bacon mayo. Delicious. It was very noisy inside so I took it to go.Dietary restrictions: They honored my request for nothing else:)Parking: It was tricky to find parking. Handicap parking would be especially helpful.“
“Our recent birthday dinner experience at Jax Seafood Restaurant was absolutely incredible. From the warm greeting by the friendly staff to the fantastic happy hour deals and impeccable seafood selection, every aspect of our evening exceeded expectations. The highlight was undoubtedly the chef's special dessert—a true masterpiece that showcased the team's skill and passion. Overall, Jax Seafood Restaurant provided stellar service and dining, making it highly recommended for a memorable experience. We can't wait to return! Thank You Chef!!“
