“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“The food was amazing. Wine list was great. Very small, intimate setting for maybe 20 guests. The chef does everything, from greeting you when you walk in, taking your order, cooking your food, delivering your food and drinks and clearing the table. Only downside is after 12 years he is closing to pursue another opportunity at a different kitchen.“

“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! 🎹“

“GREAT PLACE, GREAT GOOD!!“

“great and chips, we ordered a meat pie to go after the dine in and it wasn't that good though. so maybe stick to the fish and chips“

“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!“

“We had the best service I have had since moving to Colorado. The food was incredible. The service was top-notch. It is my favorite place for a special date night or for when friends & family come into town.“

“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“

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

“Una comida deliciosa , muy limpio y sus empleados excelente ⭐️ lo recomiendo 💯 % riquísimos los Gyros y las papas fritas wow 😮“

“Good food and service every time 👌🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best food in Arvada Colorado right now!“

“went with a friend. never again! was told it would be a 30min wait it looked not very busy. waited 45min to be seated. (The host seemed like she did not like her job at all) i ordered the avocado toast w/ side of bacon. the arugula piled high ruined the taste of meal, the tomatoes sliced where not ripe too hard to chew, the bacon was hard like it had been sitting around for a while. and the bread was thick and dry with barely any avocado. my friends meal all American breakfast cold potatoes and not good food she barely ate any of it. no apologies just an over worked waitress. ive been to syrup (different place) before way better food and service worth the extra drive!!!!“

“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.“

“We went for the Liverpool game while visiting from out of town. We would love visit again soon.“

“Service was amazing, honestly the highlight of the experience. The food was good, but not quite at the leve. Fried chicken was cooked perfectly, as was the wagyu. The seasoning seemed off though and most items fell flat. The potato pave was by far the best thing we had, it’s a must get if visiting. The drinks were also not really up to the task unfortunately. I’m glad I came and tried it, I really enjoyed the unique twists on some classic American dishes, not rushing back though.“

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

“My husband and I started our anniversary celebration at The Original, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was fantastic, but what truly made our visit unforgettable was our server, Jeremy.

Jeremy gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel celebrated throughout our entire meal. He anticipated everything we needed without ever being overbearing, offered great recommendations, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table.

Exceptional customer service is hard to come by, and Jeremy absolutely exceeded every expectation. He played a huge part in making our anniversary feel so special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back because of the experience he provided.

Thank you, Jeremy, and The Original, for making our anniversary one we’ll remember. We couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon!“

“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.“

“very gooooooooooood“
