Restaurants near Cherry Creek

“Food and service were outstanding. The parking in the area is very frustrating. We did finally find the lot next to the restaurant and then it was fine. We were not given the Restaurant Week menus when we were seated by the hostess. We asked our server and she brought it right away. I did not notice, but the entrée I chose did not have any accompaniments, this seems a bit ridiculous. The food was fantastic and it was my first time at your restaurant. I will definitely go back, but this seems odd on a prix fixe menu.”

“We had such a lovely time at Spuntino. The service was excellent and all of the food was delicious. We ordered the Capellini Aglio e Olio and the Lasagna. Both had an Indian spice flavor to them which was great. Ordered the Arancini as well which were very good and they were even kind enough to bring us an order of Focaccia on the house because “it’s just too good to pass up”. They were right! Will definitely be back.”

“Everything we had was spectacular. We were pleased with every dish. We walked in without a reservation and had to be put on the waitlist for over an hour so I would highly recommend planning in advance and having a reservation. The staff was kind and attentive and the food itself was excellent.”

“Anil was our server and he is a hard working student server going to CU Denver. His service was exceptional and was very personable despite Tom's being busy for the trifecta of games taking place when we attended.”

“AMAZING!! From one Michelin-recommended restaurant to another, this was a phenomenal experience. Nick took such great care of us from start to finish. He was so knowledgeable about the wine and food, so attentive and personable. The food was delicious, creative, gastronomy-inspired but not gimmicky. Flavorful and perfectly portioned tasting menu. Will return!”

“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!”

“Absolutely delicious Mediterranean flavors! Whipped feta andmushroom hummus served with wood fired pita bread. The lamb kabobs were great, but I noticed a 1/2 chicken platter that another diner had, so I will be going back for that. Also, excellent cocktails!”

“Such a fantastic experience last night!! We will be back! Love the decor, the wait staff, the food, the drinks and the dessert. Literally can’t think of anything that wasn’t excellent!”

“Always a great experience, especially for large groups. The most recent time, we had 10 people. Although they don't allow reservations, we were seated in a fair amount of time, and service was quick and efficient.”

“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. ❤️”

“Sushi is one of my favorite forms of food. I did not expect to have the best sushi I've ever had in Denver. But on a recent stay in RiNo, my wife and I tried out Temaki Den. And the experience was amazing. First, the hostess was phenomenal. Amazing service. Went out of her way to improve our experience. Second, we went with the omakase to try and experience as many things as possible. Third, the nigiri and temaki is amazing. We went to a Michelin Star rated restaurant the night before, and while they was great... this experience was better. There wasn't an item served that wasn't lower than a 8/10. And MOST of the items were 9-10/10. To be honest, it didn't make sense to me. I've watched documentaries about sushi and how important fresh fish is... so how Temaki Den is able to get this quality is beyond my understanding. But it's nothing short of amazing. The ambience is probably the weakest aspect of the restaurant. It's not bad, by any means, but it's not "luxury." The restaurant is located in the middle of a mall-like shopping area. That wasn't a big deal to us, but if you need an "elevated" environment to eat at, this may not be for you. But the service and the food is outstanding and this is probably my favorite spot in Colorado. My thanks to everyone who works here for giving us a fantastic anniversary experience!”

“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.”

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey”

“My wife and I had an amazing time at Tavernetta! Each dish was fantastic, expertly matched with outstanding cocktails that truly stood out. Tavernetta is a must-visit for an unparalleled dining experience because of its unwavering commitment to excellence in cuisine and beverages. The service is second to none—great job! I look forward to coming back!”

“Had such a great experience at this location. Very good atmosphere we came in with a group a 7 plus a child and we were treat excellent. Our sever was amazing she constantly checking on us making we were good or doing refills or more drinks. 10/10 love this place and would recommend it to everyone!”

“By far the best restaurant in Denver. From the moment you walk in you're welcomed by an incredibly well trained front of house staff, while the open concept kitchen and intimate atmosphere allow the kitchen staff and Chef Michael to interact with the guests in a completely unpretentious manner, creating an all encompassing experience from start to finish. Each dish is beautifully composed and thoughtful, some may call it 'tweezer' food, but this tweezer food has heart, has soul. It's modern and innovative but taste like comfort, invites you to savor each bite and leaves you wanting for the next. While the food is memorable on it's own, the cocktail and wine pairings are not to be ignored, both options are incredible, and listening to the artists that pick and craft these libations explain their thought process is akin to listening a storyteller around a fire, immersive and brilliant. An absolute experience from start to finish that I'm always honored to be apart of.”

“Divine bartending skills and most importantly personalities! The absolute best fries I ever had, yes I'm talking about french fries here! Must try! Drinks the dirty martini but best part the blue cheese olives made in house. Oysters the West coast Oysters, so full and succulent with a light sweetness definitely worth the cost. I do love that the shucker broke down the protein weight and nutritional components that affirm the cost. That understanding alone is worth a pretty penny. The steaks last but certainly not least we're great. The quality of the meat and the story your able to read prior to making the decision helps your experience as you bite into there perfectly peppered steaks. We had to get another batch of fries of course. They were too good to pass up. Oh! The Japanese Whiskey!!! Excellent pallet enhancer and your breathe in the notes once with mouth closed and secondly with mouth open, then sip to take your pallet on a journey through a divine beverage experience! Can I say more... I actually can but ill let your experience Speak for itself. Thank you!”

“Had an amazing experience here! The butter chicken and onion rings were delicious. Service was exceptional. Will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Lots of great gluten free/dairy free options.”

“Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and service. Had a reservation at 7:15 and wasn't sat until 8 due to the table ahead of us not leaving. The staff/manager was EXTREMELY gracious and bought our drinks (maybe a couple each...) while we waited. Food was fabulous and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!”

“Looks like I missed a real opportunity to take a bunch of cool pictures at what was a really amazing vegan restaurant - and what I did take was one admittedly not very good - picture of what WAS a VERY delicious salad. We enjoyed the heck out of sitting on the patio, composting everything, and drinking unlimited sparkling water on tap, so I would and WILL absolutely return to the spot next time I am in Denver!”

“Everything was fantastic from start to finish. Madi was our server and did a fantastic job assisting us with drink selections and guiding us through the menu. The wait was an hour for a table but it was worth it a million times over.”

“This was our first experience at a Frasca Hospitality Group restaurant and it was, overall, very pleasant! The food was delicious, service was attentive and fast, and the ambiance was exactly what you’d expect—funky (esp the music, couldn’t stop dancing in my seat lol) but elevated! We ordered 9 dishes: beef tartare, salt beets, scallops, and pork belly to start; I had the roast chicken and my partner ordered the pork loin with the potato pave and rolls as a side; and we finished with the honey cheesecake for dessert. The scallops were far and away our favorite, and my chicken was perfectly cooked and a solid portion size. Everything else was delicious too (but the scallops still won the day) however, my partner’s pork loin seemed overcooked and a bit bland as is, but the stewed apple (sauce?) overpowered anything that it touched… So we’d definitely avoid ordering that again. Also a general comment on the pricing—it’s all pretty high for the portions you get, with dishes average $20+ so our bill (along with a bottle of wine) was over $150/person (albeit, we were comfortably full, not overstuffed, at the end of dinner). My last note will be that the music was a bit too loud at our table, as I think there was a speaker right above us so we were having to yell a bit to hear one another. Altogether, a very positive experience and I’m excited to come back to try more of their extensive wine selection and listen to funky jams again!”

“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!”

“Food was innovative and delicious. Our server, though very nice, cleared my drink before I was finished. I tried to catch their attention but was unable to in time.Adding 20% onto a check for 3 people was unorthodox and doesn’t feel like the right scenario for a restaurant. I’ve heard of adding gratuity for parties of six or more, but adding to a three-top is not standard practice.”

“The food was delicious, the seasoning was great and everything was flavorful, not only that but everything was perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Over all it was wonderful. My husband and I were enjoying a dinner together before I start chemo again and food loses its appeal. It was perfect!”

“The food was amazing and service exceptional. I would love to see the respoda tequila be sold in other states. The owner is responsible for creating this and it has to be one of the best I had ever had.”

“I LOVE this place. From the ambiances to the service to the food and drinks, everything there is phenomenal. When we sat down we were greeted with a sample cocktail to sip on while we browsed the menu. I loved how personable the experience was. They asked our names and it felt like just a genuine experience. Our bartender José was so wonderful and informative about all my questions on the menu. His cocktails were so great! Will definitely be back”

“I had the pleasure to eat at this fine establishment over the weekend with some great people! Let’s just say Sushi Den do not disappoint for my fist experience and will definitely be back. Everything was awesome from the cocktails to the Nigiri and high end Whisky!”

A must-visit destination for anyone craving real Mexican cuisine!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten freeKid-friendliness: Several kids were there!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp”

“It’s been too long since I’ve returned to this gem. Fantastic service, creative dishes that use only the freshest ingredients available. Perfect date night, whether it’s your first date or 50th anniversary. Highly recommend.”
