“The beer and food was very tasty - everything we tried was so good. We had 2 flights of beers and tried a few other beers. The burgers were very tasty. The beef was good quality and flavorful. I loved the Brussels sprouts. The service was friendly and we were lucky to have good weather and get to sit on the patio.“
“I think the food used to be better and more affordable, they seem to have made some changes, but still a great place for a happy hour. It's usually not too loud on week nights so it's a great place if you want to be able to have a “
“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. ❤️“
“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!“
“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.“
“We had an amazing experience at Stone Cellar last evening. Everything was excellent with perhaps the only exception being the restaurant's attention to dietary restrictions. We had tried SCB a while back and with our gluten intolerance we struggled to make the menu work for us. Unfortunately, that hasn't changed much. We had the same challenges last evening.To be fair, the chef did his/her best to accommdate us by adjusting the entrees to suit but that unfortunately took away some key components that left the dishes that we ordered, lacking. It didn't work for either of us.Our experience is that most restaurants are now well advanced with their ability to offer dishes that are either dedicated to certain dietary restrictions or can be modified to keep the integrity/design of the dish.Oh, by the way, the gluten free buns were really good! That helped make up for the dishes that didn't quite work. We'd love to know where those were sourced.Having said that, the Bib Lettuce salad was incredible and the service (Christian) and atmosphere were absolutely perfect.We're hoping SCB can advance their ability to better accommodate dietary restrictions as we truly want to love this place since it is one of the best restaurants in Olde Towne Arvada.Dietary restrictions: See our general comments.“
“Since it was St. Patrick's day, we searched around for places to have corned beef and cabbage. My wife found The Burns Pub and Restaurant, which sounded very nice. The wait staff were all very friendly and helpful, helping us make our meal choices. The food was very good and cooked just right. The drinks were also appropriately named and were very good! The atmosphere and decorations were truly Irish! We will go back again sometime for more goodies to imbibe in! Much thanks to the staff for a job well done! ?“
“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.“
“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!“
“Wow - what a fantastic find! Everything we had was delicious, from the drinks (I had the Berry Sangria and the bartender “roulette” which turned out to be a spicy, pomegranate margarita) to the food - baked goat cheese, the burger, the arugula and beet salads. Bonus - this establishment is woman owned! ? Highly recommend.“
“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.“

“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“All in all, it was a good experience. I had the blackened fish tacos, and they were delicious. The wait staff, as you could imagine, also looked delicious, but lacked slightly in service. To be fair they were fairly busy and a sporting event was aired. This is the first time I've stepped into a Twin Peaks.Parking: Colorado Mills Mall“
“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!“
“Went in for a work event, and we were treated wonderfully. We had two servers waiting our tables, both named Will. Both Wills were fantastic - attentive, alert, quick to serve and surprisingly remembered every person's drink choice to top off (we were over 40 people). The key lime pie was fabulous as well.“
“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!“
“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 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!“
“Really enjoyed my experience here. Inside was nice and bright. Allowed for conversation at regular volume, but could not hear other tables/patrons. Portin sizes were in line with the price and that smoked salmon eggs benedict would be worth a repeat visit 100%.“
“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*“
“The best wings in denver by a good mile. I was surprised by the crowd in this place when we got here and the wait time for wings was matching the crowd. However, the time for getting the wings was way quicker than they said and they came out perfect! The crowd led to a 10/10 atmosphere and the perfect vibes for ruthlessly digging into a plate of saucy wings.They weren’t shy with the celery or carrots either! The garlic Parmesan wings are next level, I am deeply looking forward to the next time I get out to Westminster. We got the fried zucchini and it was so much better than expected.The service here was fantastic as well, every single staff member I talked to was helpful and nice.“
“Greek-Italian-American FAB-U-LOUS! We found this place thanks to Google reviews! Such a cute spot with the friendliest service! Sally was so fun! The food....Good Golly Miss Molly was it delicious. We got the Gyro sandwich with side salad and a falafel sandwich with fries. We could not put it down. We traded bites and finished every one quite quickly. So tasty. The ingredients were so fresh and had layers of flavor. My husband is the Gyro eater, and I always try bites....this is the best one I've ever had hands down. Extra sauce also! Hello! So good. The fries were also so crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We will drive across town to have this again.“
“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.“
“Amazing! We had chips & salsa & guacamole, which was awesome. The chips were so good!Also had gluten free pizza which was also unbelievable. I couldn't tell it was gluten free. Also had bbq wings and fries - so good. And also we had shrimp tacos which were so good.10 x out of 10 I'd go back.Met the owner, Velma, she was so sweet and kind. She introduced us to her homemade Gelato which was terrific.This was a perfect date night restaurant.We will be back next month - Thank You!“
“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.“
“First visit here, I heard of this place and it has great Google reviews. I was interested in having a good steak and I was not disappointed (filet). Lisa had the monster club which she enjoyed (she could only finish a quarter of it so I will sample it today). We shared the brussel sprouts appetizer and they are exceptional. We will be back.“
“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.“
““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!”“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“Our favorite night out in Denver. Unbeatable talent on stage and service on the floor. Although the stage is so wonderfully intimate it’s almost tough to tell where the stage stops and the seating starts. Stylish without being stuffy, special and still staunchly inclusive, innovative but somehow still cozy as can be. We are awfully lucky to have Dazzle here in our city.“
“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 !!“
“Great vibe in this place. The particular day we went there were some issues with staffing and our waitress never really came over to us, but the manager went above and beyond with helping us. We had the calamari we ordered come out cold, but again the manager handled it fantastically and made sure that we enjoyed our. I got the poke nachos and queso and they were both amazing! I also loved having the opportunity to try some new and interesting beer. Overall, I would definitely come here again.“
“The food is fantastic, and Giana (Gianna?) is legitimately one of the sweetest and most on point CSRs I've ever come across. Definitely will be back, and will be telling everyone and their mother about this place. 10/10Dietary restrictions: They do custom bowlsParking: Parking on either side of the buildingKid-friendliness: They do custom bowls“
