“We had my son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner at BJ’s in Lakewood. I had to plan this from 1600 miles away but the process was easy and we were able to communicate on all of the details via email. On the day of the event, the manager and staff (Jamilla and David especially) were very accommodating and helpful. Food was great, the drinks were varied and came quickly to our 50+ guests. Thank you so much.“

“Met up with my daughter and a local friend while in town. Moved away from Denver in the late 80s but had always wanted to go to Simm's Landing. Finally made it after 40 years - so glad I did! Great views of Denver. Sunday night so two prime ribs and a filet. Excellent! Plus daughter had left overs for her meal tonight! Highly recommend!“

“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🥂!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“I like the wide menu options. I just wasn't very hungry. The service was awesome. She was on top of her drink game. I like it. Sometimes I miss the thrill of being a waitress. The drinks were wonderful, what we asked for and full of flavor. The calamari was a little overcooked but, it happens. The ambiance is friendly, warm and sports themed. Cozy. Love the atmosphere. Thank you for all you do.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere 💕“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“Very creative and amazing food and cocktails at reasonable prices. Service was great. Don’t pass this place up.“

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

“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“

“Our organization hosted an event here and we have received several compliments! The staff was extremely helpful, food was amazing, and overall we had a great experience! Highly recommend for a party, watching a game or just to try somewhere new that is fun and different!“

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

“We happened upon this one of a kind gem of a family Cafe by accident, but we will absolutely be back anytime we are in the area again. My wife and I had been to a concert (My Chemical Romance) the night before and up very late, searching for breakfast places nearby the next morning and Westys easily was the obvious choice. Somehow I just had a feeling that Westys would be great. When we arrived we were promptly greeted, watered and coffee'd; and probably the best host I've ever had, Frankie, began to do what I would say he does best, being a friendly, welcoming, genuine person! I had some questions about items on the menu and asked if the restaurant had Greek heritage somehow tied in and Frankie proudly spoke about how his family runs Westys and his family owns the area it is at also. I can not speak enough about Frankie. He was so friendly, so GENUINE, so knowledgeable, Frankie is a true on in 7 billion kind of person. Watching him with other customers and seeing the excitement from the to see him, its just so humbling. Frankie deserves every bit of all the great things he gets in life. Now, the food. It was amazing! Great flavor, great portions, very creative, very much made with love. I had the meat skillet with gyro meat added with pita and handmade tzatziki. My wife had a gyro and fries, DELICIOUS SO DELICIOUS! Frankie being the nice guy he is, offered handmade green chili to have with our breakfast and matching the rest of this review it, was nothing short of FANTASTIC! The coffee was great even! I am so thankful for family cafes like this one, please go support them, please be nice while you are there, please enjoy their craft. WESTYS IS AMAZING!“

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

“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! 🎹“

“Been a customer fir a long time, and thr Bad Ass margarita has been my drink of choice. But I'm a little concerned at my last visit with the change in taste.“

“My husband and I are very loyal customers to Hungry Goat! We visit at least once a month, sometimes more. Food is great! The drinks are even better! (Especially the espresso martini!) The staff is always so kind and friendly. Unfortunately though, lately we have been disappointed. We have ordered the Steak and Frites and more times than not, we have received a steak that has a lot of fat on it. Today, my husbands steak was half fat. I couldn’t believe it was even served to us.. we love this place so much and it’s been really disappointing.“

“GREAT PLACE, GREAT GOOD!!“

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

“we were in the area for a mini vacation (my sister and i). initially we were walking to the brunch nearby but as we were passing by, we changed our minds and went in. after seeing the cowboys game on, we sat down near the TV it was on. I asked if it was possible to change the TV behind my sister as well since we will be sitting across from one another. it was playing the Olympics races and nobody was watching (1 booth other than us and 4 people bar top). after it was changed, we ordered our food and drinks. a kitchen staff joked about the cowboys with friendly bantar before returning to the kitchen. shortly after, the general manager (I was unaware at the time) came from the kitchen and changed it again. I said excuse me several times to him and got 0 acknowledgement. the bartender shrugged his shoulders and looked away from me. I spoke to Anthony as there wasn't much time left on the game. Anthony attempted to talk to him and he said there were people watching the game. the game which was not put on until AFTER we requested the change. while I'm not one to sweat small stuff, I work in customer service and with 6 mins left on a preseason game, what's the harm? at least acknowledge me when I speak to you. let's come to an agreement. instead, I turned my chair around and waited to eat the appetizers sitting behind me on the table until the game was over (a whopping 4 mins) I don't get time to catch many games, was on vacation and wasn't being rude about it. i love sports and trust, I would've been stoked to catch the baseball game he changed it to AFTER the football game. and I would've been the only customer paying attention then too. so finally I was loud and thanked Anthony for his friendly demeanor and caring about his customers. I said it very loudly since I could not get acknowledgement when speaking politely and directly to him. what do ya know? now we hear me in the kitchen and have plenty to say. with music playing and food being prepared no less! I enjoyed the food. probably the best wings I've had in ages! the beer cheese soup was delicious. I enjoyed our waiter's customer care. without him, we would've walked out. food is top notch. caring about customers, not entirely priority. we don't visit often so it isn't a huge loss that we won't be returning because of one person. Definitely ask for Anthony if you do go!“

“Good food and service every time 👌🏼“

“Amazing pizza 🍕👌🏻😍 great staff and good ambience! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Best food in Arvada Colorado right now!“

“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!“

“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“

“Great food. Delicious taste. Incredible service“

“Made another visit here 15 months later in early July …it was super crowded and that’s because they have good food. Good pastries, good dessert, good coffee and good help .. it is never a disappointment.

Returned again today. This time for lunch. Had the two salad. Very delicious. But expensive. Recommend.

Went back today… 1-1/2 years later… had latte & double chocolate cake… girlfriend had Mexican coffee … looked very interesting; will try that next time… only complaint is I wish coffee had been hotter!

Neighborhood restaurant, bakery… optimum… haven’t had food, but will… had coffee in 2022 and didn’t care for it, but it may have changed… average prices, which means not cheap. Will give it a try soon.“

“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“

“Your typical home cooking.Always good.Great for family and friends to gather. Terrific specials,breakfast,lunch and dinner! Give them a try,you won't be disappointed.
There pie selection is usualy pretty on point.
Give them a try.“

“I’m from Chicago and love gourmet dining in that city. Imagine my surprise when I entered the wine bar at Satchel’s with a group of friends to be seated for a wedding luncheon that began with the first of seven tasting courses of food that was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Andrew, the chef/owner, is not only innovative with ingredients, but he and his staff really care about their customers’ pleasure and comfort. If I am ever able to return to the Denver area again, Satchel’s will be my first go-to destination. The luncheon was 1st class all the way.“

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