The Tastiest Venues & Event Spaces in Aurora

Bistro Vendome

★★★★☆ 4.1 (991) • $$

"Fabulous dinner and service. The Duck l'orange combines confit with seared duck breast. Escargot came 2 ways, traditional and in fennel butter. Beef tartar served with fresh fried potatoe chips. Gluten free bread was out of this world, and great sour dough and churned butter for the gluten eaters. I liked the casual atmosphere with a touch of French class. Worth a visit when your in Denver."

Briar Common Brewery + Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (570) • $$

"Good Ruben , good beer, great bartenders, nice ambience, Outside dog friendly seating and rooftop area."

Maggiano's Little Italy

★★★★☆ 3.5 (853) • $$

"The ambiance and atmosphere were great as always! I will say the service of the staff were great this visit and they took special care of us as I had an older guest with mobility issues and walker. Our server BRYAN was absolutely amazing - attentive, friendly, patient and simply on top of it. Be on the lookout for him when dining here the service he had was 10/10. ^_^The food? Oh so good and so, I'll tell you. We had a couple of appetizers: the zucchini, and spinach and artichoke dip. (The bread that comes with it ? Spectacular, it was so soft! ) Main dishes : fettuccines, and the baked ziti both 10/10. I literally want some more now. Got some mashed potatoes which were also yummy. Drinks: get the pom martini! Overall- great visit, great food, great family times. 'Til next time!"

Cerberus Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (541) • $$

"Came here after a long day with my husband and kids and it did not disappoint. The servers were friendly and the food was delish. All the beers we tried were great too. The vibes were chill and friendly. Will definitely come back."

Parker Garage

★★★★☆ 3.5 (576) • $$

"The atmosphere here was really cool and I stopped on to meet with am old friend that was in town. He got the porkchop with the mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it. I got the large corn dish (like street corn) and steak. The corn was awesome and the steak was ok (I'd pass on it next time). I tried some beer and liked the selection. I liked the seating at the bar area and will definitely check this place out again."

Uno Mas Taqueria y Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.1 (418) • $$

"The salsa trio and guacamole appetizers were sublime. Wildly impressed, followed up with their Barbacoa taco and the cilantro jalapeño margarita I'm leaving this establishment so happy. Our bartender Kris was wonderful and attentive, that might have been the best margarita I've ever had as well. Cheers to these folks and I'll see them again soon. Ambiance was great too, lovely bar to sit at with friendly service."

Trattoria Stella on Colfax

★★★★☆ 3.8 (429) • $$

Bigsby's Folly

★★★★☆ 4.3 (281) • $$

"$30 wine and dinner on Mondays. The old warehouse with the wood beams is fascinating on its own, but the super attentive service and attention to detail should not be missed. It's all high tops but amazingly they are balanced and don't rock. Someone had to make that happen and she you are cutting a hand crafted margarita flat bread it's appreciated. Also, on Monday they have a special that our server Rachel suggested and we got a $60 carafe of Sonoma Cabernet with the flatbread for only $30. Thank Goodness it's Monday!"

Coohills Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (310) • $$$

"What an incredible dinner! They have so many amazing gluten free options. We ordered the gluten-free crabcakes, which were absolutely incredible. I've never had crabcakes this delicious. We also ordered the aged tofu dinner that was incredibly and surprisingly delicious. We also had the fries and a salad, which all were spectacular. Our waiter Craig was incredible to. we had a really nice anniversary dinner and would highly recommend this place. The service the food the quality the ambience is out of this world."

La Casa Fiesta Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (309) • $$

"Easy access. I use walker or canes; this has a sloped entry or a two step approach. Great! Covered open air dining (with umbrella for each table) or in inner rooms. Background music not overly loud; we conversed easily in the open seating area. Food was prepared well, hot & tasty. Our waitress was attentive, alert to our needs & helpful in selections. Being a "senior," I could select from the children's menu: so, I'll not be eating leftovers this week. . Cost: quite reasonable for what we ate. Easy off-on from I-25; just go west, folks; go west!"

Wrigley's Chicago Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (208) • $$

"I came strictly for the Italian Beef sandwich, but the wife and I decided to turn it into a Friday afternoon happy hour/date night. First time here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice establishment they have. Family owned and operated, the lady owner came up and said hello. Super friendly, I was curious and had some questions. She showed me all the upgrades they are doing. The patio is very big, and they were setting up for live music that evening. The waitress lacked that fun personality, but she was attentive and did get the job done. I liked their happy hour drink special. Basically $1 off whatever you choose. Nice! Keeping it simple. This is NOT a dive bar nor super upscale. I felt it fit the bill just right. We will be returning. PS. I'm from Chicago and It's hard to find a Chicago Style Italian beef here in Colorado. This place is the real deal when it comes to their selection of Chicago food. Outstanding!!"

Uncorked Kitchen & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $$

"Taking a cooking class at Uncorked is a great way to to mix it up for date night. My husband and I love cooking together, but we don't get much of a chance to do it at home since one of us takes the lead on cooking while the other one is busy chasing around a toddler. We signed up for Along the Shores of the Mediterranean, which has a menu that would be easy to replicate at home. Best part was that the course was well timed. We had the opportunity to prepare almost every dish except the dessert on our own. There was even time to sit down and enjoy the meal while chatting with new people. And don't forget about those gorgeous mountain views! Our menu consisted of the following:+White Wine Steamed Mussels with Tomatoes, Olives and Basil+ Grilled Halloumi with Rosemary- Grape Walnut Relish and Baguette+ Cod with Pancetta, Artichokes, and Olives+ Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Whip CreamGiven that it's only a three-hour class, the learning part consisted of a very brief refresh on knife skills and cooking technique. It was a fun and memorable evening; we would love to return for another date night!"

The Greenbriar Inn

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (188) • $$$

"What a most wonderful brunch at the Greenbriar Inn! The location is lovely and we had chosen to sit on the "sun porch." There was no sun today, but it was still a pleasant place to be, because one could enjoy the view and the in-floor heating. The restaurant was full, but we had no problem holding a conversation. It was nice to see that our company ranged from very old people using walkers, to families with children, to young single friends and couples. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and loving the food.The waitstaff was plentiful so that everything moved fast if necessary, but one never felt rushed. Our waitress was knowledgeable about all of the menu items and gave good advice. She was very attentive, but didn't hover and never interrupted our conversations to check " if we were happy." Excellent service!of course all of that, while delightful, is icing on the cake. The real question is if the food is good. It's delicious! Flavorful and subtle. My companion and i both had the oysters Rockefeller to start. They were perfect. Subtle flavoring where one could still taste the lightly cooked tender oyster. id like to eat those every day. That light touch combined with a deep flavor profile was also evident in my shatchuka and my companion's butter poached crab eggs Benedict. The menu was varied; there were lots of other selections that were tempting.i would go back to the Greenbriar any time, and highly recommend it."

Noonan's Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (143) • $$

"At the golf course. Service was great. Food took a long time to come out. The breakfast burrito was good. The beef stroganoff was ok. The meat good, but the sauce was not correct at all. They made a Mac n cheese sauce, lots of vicosity - gooey fake cheese type. No sour cream in the sauce. Overall it's like Golden Corral food. If that works for you - go for it."

TeaLee's Teahouse & Bookstore

★★★★★ 4.7 (81) • $$

"I really can't put into words the amount of love and joy my visit to TeaLee's Teahouse brought me. It was my last day visiting Denver for an extended business trip and I was super hungry but it was Mother's Day and many area breakfast spots were full. I decided on a whim to check out TeaLee's Teahouse. Parking was easy to find, which is a plus in downtown Denver. When I walked in a sweet woman asked if I had a reservation, which of course I did not, but I explained that my flight leaves in a couple of hours and happened to find her spot on Google for black owned areas. As I looked around there were "reserved" signs on all the tables, and she explained they had a special Mother's Day brunch event, and I fully expected to be turned away. However, to my surprise the nice lady seated me.I was approached by another beautiful lady, who took my order. For Mother's Day they had an assortment of quiche and salad available. The place is small so they don't have a major "kitchen". I ordered an amazing cup of Moroccan Honey Chai and their crab and shrimp quiche. While I waited I chatted with the ladies who worked at the store. The food...omg..that quiche was divine. I didn't taste a hint of egg, just loaded with crab and shrimp with a flaky crust. The salad was so simple but refreshing with a bed of mix greens, avocado, mango and pomegranate seeds in a very light dressing. To finish off the plate there were some baked sweet potato chips. Though, it wasn't heavy it definitely was filling. TeaLee's is worth a visit, whether to listen to their live jazz, or poets or just to sit and talk to friends over a shared brew of tea. The ladies who work there make you feel like you are family, their smile and generosity was so appreciated."

Saucy’s Southern Barbecue & Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (88) • $$

"This barbecue spot is bomb!! We loved everything we got but especially the wings, baked beans, green beans, and corn.The brothers running this shop were super kind, courteous, and friendly too. Will definitely be back!"

Adobo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (61)

"Have you ever wondered what chefs were before they became chefs? I recently had the opportunity to chat with Chef Baggao and learn about his incredible journey before Adobo which opened in March of 2022. A former finance guy, his life took a turn after a motorcycle accident left him with a brain injury. The road to recovery was tough, but he eventually found his passion for cooking and has since opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant after starting out with a food truck. His focus now is his business and being a father to his daughter Olivia. He incorporates his grandma's recipes into his menu, adding his own unique twist. From classic Pansit to flavorful Lumpia, and an amazing Pork Belly plate, Adobo has it all. His New Mexico influences are also evident, with Taco Tuesday and festive decor. And don't miss out on their delicious Ube Colada and Calamansi Mule cocktails made by their Award-Winning Bartender of the year Dylan. And did you know they were featured on Netflix's Fresh, Fried, and Crispy? Check out the Denver episode! If you haven't been - go now!"

The Island

★★★★☆ 4.3 (33)

"What a little gem! So nice to play sand volleyball in the middle of winter! It was $10 a person. It looks like they have 6 courts inside and quite a few outside too. I will say it smells a little musty in there, but I'm sure that's just expected when you're playing volleyball in a warehouse in the winter. I didn't notice it after being in there for a few minutes. We had SO much fun it didn't bother me at all.We didn't stick around for drinks but they had great deals, I'll definitely be back!"

D Bar Central Park

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26)

"Came in for grab-and-go cupcakes and left with those, a tiramisu, and a roasted tomato tart. All were really very good. 4.5 stars because pricing was just a touch on the high side."

Ajax Downtown

★★★★☆ 4.2 (15)

"FABULOUS food. Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Can't give five stars bc there was really poor service. We ordered drinks right off the bat -- they didn't even arrive until we were well into the second course. Waiter was nice but totally MIA. We would go back on a less busy evening."

Restaurante La Pily

★★★★☆ 4 (6)

"I have been to this place many times! The michelada and cantaritos are excellent! So is all of the food! Love the barbacoa tacos con consommé, machete taco combination, mole, shrimp cocktail, all the homemade salsa...really everything that I've tried here over the many times I have been here have been delicious! Staff is very accommodating and kind!"
