"An amazing selection of Gelato that was unexpected. Went out for a bite to this fun place. I wasn't sure what I wanted and had a hard time making a decision.I went with the Italian grinder. I had a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around some of the things on it. Luckily, I was able to leave them off. I am not a Greek tapanad person and IMHO it should not be on an Italian sandwhich. Yes, I am a pain. It was served toasted and grilled, another thing I was not fully expecting but it was pretty good that way. One of the things I requested was mayo...a little cup of joy was brought with my sandwhich. We dipped chips in it, put it on my sandwhich and even just ate it with a fork. We couldn't figure out what is actually was but we knew 2 things..it was so good and it wasn't straight mayo. The server wasn't even sure what it was and they were pretty busy so we just enjoyed the mystery. The boyfriend even ordered some to dip his pizza crust in. When all was said and done we went to check out the Gelato and the wonderful woman who owns the place told us it was her own spicy mayo. We were graced with another small portion to go and let her know we would be back for more. Now on to the gelato...omg! After tasting a few I opted for the Banana Walnut. It was really good and so much Banana flavor. I had a hard time deciding so darn...I'll just have to go back for more. A large bar, plenty of tables and a very relaxed vibe. Digital trivia you can even play on your phone. We will be returning and ask for that spicy mayo!"

"Came at 5 pm on a Wednesday for early dinner and there was no wait. I tried a cucumber mint limeade with gin, then my boyfriend and I shared the jalapeño cornbread muffins, massive attack salad, 1/4 lb coriander roasted Colorado lamb and chickpea croquettes. Everything was pretty tasty and it was more than enough food for the two of us!"

"I'm really impressed with this place. They got the fast casual down and still retained that fine dining experience. After ten years and three locations this local business with CO-born Chef Clint and his business partner Chris is killing it! Their menu is small and is uncomplicated. You won't be embarrassed to take a date here. They plate their dishes beautifully. Their food is amazing. They serve wine, beers and natural sodas.Everything was really good. What stood out for me was the Grilled Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf and their Chicken Pastrami sandwich. The Pastrami had that perfect heat to it all throughout as you eat it. Nothing serious but it's there. But whatever you order from what we tried , or from their menu is really good. You have to try try everything that we tried: 48 hour Slow Cooked Short Rib, Grilled Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, Mediterranean grilled chicken, Chicken pastrami Sandwich, and their Beef Stroganoff (special of the day) , salads Super Chop. Rocket Chop and South Chop. Everything we had was so delicious and was served and plated beautifully & priced right. Oh, and you won't be embarrassed to take your date here. Aside from the excellent food, the inside is tastefully decorated. With a covered patio for winter and one that's alfresco for summer! Drinks: Frozen passion fruit & lemon berry"

Just BE Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (442) • $$

"This one is an easy five stars. We discovered Just Be Kitchen before the pandemic and fell in love with the breakfast burritos. We have had many items on the menu and even purchased the make your own brownie mix for home. This is a top notch spot for anyone looking for a fresh made, high quality and ingredient conscious food experience. Everything we have eaten here has always been so perfectly delicious. Breakfast burritos on a weekend morning after a walk around town are perfect. Outdoor seating makes for a great option if the weather is right and a brownie for breakfast is never a bad thing. Great service. High quality ingredients."

Woodie Fisher Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (292) • $$$

"Loved the food! Started with the steak tartare and burrata toast. Both were great. I felt that the steak tartare beef didn't look as appetizing for some reason. The burrata toast had a great balance of flavors. For our mains we had the duck and ny strip. The duck was cooked well but not perfect. It's such a difficult protein and I'm convinced I will only find a handful of restaurants that can pull it off perfectly. The plate was gorgeous and I loved the balance of flavors especially with the berries. The bread pudding was a bit doughy. The steak and potato was masterfully cooked. The plate looked not as pretty but the food was delicious. The desserts were all great as well. The s'mores brownie plating was appetizing and the dish as a whole was not too sweet and yummy. The banana tiramisu didn't have much tiramisu flavor. The crumb on the side was my favorite and the caramel sauce. The tiramisu was a good tiramisu but I felt that it was too creamy and didn't have all the layers that a tiramisu has. All the drinks were good. I loved the apple cider martini. I loved the warm apple and cinnamon flavors in martini form. The strawberry gin drink with pepper and egg white was good not mind blowing. The whiskey drink with the toasted marshmallow was delicious. Especially the graham cracker rim gave the drink a nice and buttery flavor. The espresso martini was good also not mind blowing. The service was really good and everyone was friendly. Also loved the trendy decor. Highly recommend!"

Jill's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (203)

"We had a family gathering for brunch at Jill's and were delighted with the quality of the food, the service, and the ambience. Philippe, the general manager made sure that everything exceeded our expectations.I had the corned beef hash, which was some of the best I have ever eaten. Other family members had pancakes, French toast, egg dishes, flatbread, and biscuits and gravy. All were excellent.Located in the best hotel in Boulder, I expected the prices to be high, and was pleasantly surprised when they were average with other restaurants."

"The hubs and I came with family friends over the weekend for brunch. Hands down the best part of our experience was our server. He was genuinely friendly and was on top of it. We started with the croquettes. They were beautifully crispy and had really nice flavor. Next for me was the zen breakfast. Whenever I see jackfruit on a menu, I'm instantly interested. This meal was really, really good. All of the components went beautifully. I washed it down with a blueberry/lemon/basil sparkling mocktail. I would definitely come back!"

Mizuna

★★★★☆ 4.1 (378) • $$$

"One of Denver's best restaurants. Was there recently by mistake. Let me explain...I was shocked when I recently made a reservation at Mizuna for Valentine's Day dinner and there were all kinds of seating choices open. How lucky! So I picked a prime time and felt quite competent as a husband who was going to show his beautiful bride how much I treasured her. And all of that was working pretty well until I realized on the morning of February 14th that I had made the reservation for February 16th.What an idiot. Of course they'd had lots of seating options available. Who would want to go there 2 days after VD? Apparently, not a whole bunch of people. So I quickly found another spot for Valentine's Day, and called Mizuna to ask if I could reschedule. They couldn't have been nicer and let me transfer my deposit to a new date when we had a great experience.The first interesting thing I noticed when we did eat there was that Mizuna is clearly aiming at getting Denver's first Michelin starred restaurant rating (if and when Denver ever gets to be considered for Michelin star-reviewed restaurants).At Mizuna these days they are doing the things that Michelin-starred restaurants do. For example: When you arrive they offer you a welcoming glass of champagne. They then present you with a menu which has a selection of "gustation" dinners where you choose from a list of set courses and then pick from options on that list. They then start you off with a series of amuse bouche plates, not mentioned on the list of menu dishes, teasing your palate with single bite delicious tastes. They also offer a list of "indulgences" so that after you decide on a certain number of courses you then also have the opportunity to add extra servings of things like a supplement of caviar, or an accompaniment of A5 Wagyu beef on the side, or a garnish of white truffles in addition to your already pricey order. They also offer wine pairings, and pairings at the "reserve" level that will cost you that much more but kick things up a serious notch. And finally after you've finished what was way too much for my wife and I to eat so we had to take a box of left-overs home, they send you off with a goodie bag that includes incredible muffins for your breakfast the following morning, choice pieces of chocolates, and their homemade cookies to boot! All of that is exactly what you would see at the Michelin-starred restaurants we've had the chance to visit.That said the meal was definitely worthy of a Michelin star and of course a 5 star Yelp review. Pix of a couple of the courses are included below, and the night's manager and sommelier recommended a beautiful french pinot noir that was at just the right price point considering the meal that we ordered. So my friends, if you're wanting to celebrate an important event or you're just up for spending some serious dough on a meal to remember then head on over the Mizuna's, a Denver restaurant that some day, if the folks at Michelin ever decide to include Denver in its list of cities eligible for star ratings, is sure to show up for serious contention, along with places like Beckon, and Fruition.Caio bella,David M."

Cart-Driver Lohi

★★★★★ 4.5 (125)

"I've been eying Cart Driver ever since I heard about their Prosecco on tap and Clam Pizza - so after pampering ourselves with facials, my sister and I ventured over for a glass of wine and a bite before heading home.We arrived around 5:15PM on a Monday, which allowed us to snag a spot to park on the street and walk less than a block to the entrance. The restaurant was relatively busy for a weekday happy hour yet there was plenty of seating in the cozy interior, so the host graciously lead us to a high-top table near the bar, which was perfect for the two of us.Let's just say the large windows, exposed brick, open kitchen, rich oak bar and jazzy tunes played overhead really create one hell of a vibe, that's totally welcoming. We quickly found ourselves right at home and proceeded to check out the extensive menu.The bartender (who also happened to be our server) approached us within minutes to take our drink order, and although we weren't feeling Prosecco, we simply asked him for his recommendation on wine that would accompany the Clam Pizza. Ultimately, he chose a deliciously crisp white, that was dry and delicious! He was very friendly, informative and made small talk with us, which was nice. He was attentive yet allowed us to enjoy all aspects of the meal without a rush.Now - the FOOD! HOLY MOLY.Everything is made in house - dough, sauces, pasta - you name it, it's made within the walls of the establishment and totally impressive.We opted to start our meal with a round of fresh Oysters - Massachusetts Oysters to be exact - which were lump, plump and oh, so good! The 4 we ordered went fast, so at the request of my sister, we ordered the Sardines. Before we knew it. the canned Sardines arrived with a side of sauces and freshly baked Italian bread. Let's just say - this was one of my favorite parts of the meal! The soft salty fish paired SO WELL with the sauces against the dense bread - creating the perfect bite! YUM!THEN, out came the Clam Pizza! Each pie features a delicious cream sauce topped with littleneck clam, pancetta, panna, roasted garlic cloves (which were so so so good) and herbs. Within the first bite, my sister and I looked at each other and said YUM in unison, because YUM. The pizza was perfectly wood fired, generously topped with goodies and had both salty and sweet elements (I swear I could taste cinnamon!) that balanced out nicely!We were too stuffed for dessert, but possibly next time!Overall, I'd easily return to this little gem in the heart of LoHi - and you should too!***Pro Tip: Happy hour is offered, despite the misprint on the menu. We were a little stumped when the host brought us a happy hour menu, only to see that happy hour was offered Tuesday - Friday, but I assure you, it's offered each day - both during the week and weekend!"

Yianni's Gyro Place

★★★★☆ 4.2 (292)

"The place was packed on a weekday for lunch. I see why. The food is good, filling, tasty and reasonably priced. Did I mention it is a family owned business -- it was clear to me, as I stood in line, there are a bunch of a regular customers. The place has clearly stood the test of time. As to the food, the gyros platter was exceptional, cooked perfectly, served warm and it hit the spot. Came with fries, Greek salad with Dolmas and freshly grilled pita. The falafel appetizer was alright -- way too much coriander than I expected or am accustomed to. Service was fast. Lots of take out orders. Lots of dine in. Yianni's is certainly worth a visit when you want to try Greek."

"Can we get more of the quality sandwich craft-personship like this place ? Wow. Simply bomb....This place is great, service was thorough and fast for the quality of product they produce. I got the Chicken Parm and it reaffirmed why I love pesto. Cheese was all over the sandwich and was amazing. The chips included obviously were great too and very fresh. I was so satisfied I bought the Italian sandwich as well to take on my journey. Make sure to come by this place!"

"I tried the Littleton location last year and wasn't impressed but the South Broadway location restored my faith in this restaurant. The service was quick and attentive although I forgot to get the name of our waitress. The bacon flight was delicious and a great way to start our meal. The prickly pear mimosa was yummy but I definitely got more lavender than prickly pear. The espresso martini was one of the best I've had and the stuffed blueberry French toast was absolutely delicious with the perfect fresh fruit compote and not overly sweet. I will definitely be back to this location!"

Simms Steakhouse

"Came here for Father's Day. This restaurant is on a side of a hill with a spectacular view. How am I going to maneuver a wheelchair up this hill? No worries, they provide complementary parking which makes it an extra special event.Entering the restaurant provides a spectular view. We ordered a delicious Simms salad. The fried calamiri came with a surprise bed of healthy beans! Less guilt for eating this appetizer. We were then treated to complimentary homemade fresh hot bread!We ordered the most delicious fish dish I have ever had. The roasted miso sea bass was tender, flaky and not over cooked. This was accompanied by sticky rice and baby bok chiy. Our server Bailey provided attentive excellent service. I will be back."

"Highly recommended!Try the ribs or salmon. Can't go wrong. I had the chicken today, which was good, but a bit dry. Couscous as a side was phenomenal! There's a great shaded patio for outdoor dining. Inside is nice with AC, but a bit small. The soda is all crafted, no name brands. The black tea is wonderful!"

★★★★☆ 4.2 (102)

"A fantastic surprise. A friend of mine whom I trust with my life had this on his list and I was in the area so I hopped in. Bam! Everything was on point. Service sweet, design funky and airy, the menu unique and the food bangin! I got the homegrown for a cocktail which was fresh and herbaceous. Then of course the chicken liver mousse which looked just like a birthday present that you can eat. Next the bread and butter which didn't look remarkable from the menu but I'm a bread person so had to ask and it was highly recommended, for a good reason: it slaps people. The butter was oozing out amidst a nest of greenery and flavor. But my most favorite was the potato pave with what? Roe and chicken gravy?! You bet! The gravy was crazy good and the fresh dill and roe added the perfect flavors. For dessert I went with the red mochi ice cream with lingonberry which was a "I want sweet but not too sweet" lovers dream. The perfect quantity and flavors. Go now, try everything!"

Osteria Marco

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1870) • $$$

"The space is pretty big in the lower level of the restaurant. There were several tables with patrons. It was still early in the evening when we were seated quickly yet the pizza did take a while to arrive although it was really delicious. Too bad I didn't have enough time to revisit this establishment to try other items on the menu.Heads up they have a few service charges that are not usual in most restaurants."

The Hampton Social - Denver

★★★★☆ 3.9 (40)

"Are you looking for an Aesthetically pleasing restaurant with solid offerings to please your rumbly tummy, accompanied by friendly service? If so, check out this cool restaurant.They accommodated our party of 12 that strolled in without a reservation-after we saw the menu on Google. Although their max table size was an 8 person table, we were fit in with additional 4 person seating right beside. We were sat next to one of the plentiful window views which looked right out onto the highland bridge/platt river area.Food was tasty, especially the seafood offerings, the crab cakes and shrimp tacos, in particular. Drinks were delicious. Staff let us know that they were recently opened at this location, and they did a great job with us. Just a couple of mix ups with who ordered what.Note for the non pork eaters: the macaroni and cheese contains bacon which isn't listed/described on the menu.Would definitely return!"

"So glad I found this place and so close to my new place...came in here last night to get out of heat and this place keeps it nice and cool. This place would be great to watch any sporting event. They have TV's everywhere and from any seat is a good seat. Once seated my super friendly waitress Maddie was awesome. She was Johnny on the spot with everything made this a great experience. Their menu is upscale bar food with tons of great choices. For dinner I had the triple threat chicken sandwich which consisted of bringing the heat 3 ways with chipotle mayo, pepper Jack cheese and Cajun fried chicken breast. Topped with frizzled onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato and bacon. Served on a kaiser bun. Served with crispy perfectly seasoned fries. This was a great sandwich and wasn't that spicy at all. I would've actually preferred a little burn but either way was super delicious! I washed this down with their house margarita which had good flavor but a I would've liked it a little more stronger. Either way I will be back and I would suggest this place."

"WHAT A HIDDEN GEM! AMAZING NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT!We spent a night in Denver before our morning flight back home, and we're glad we finished our recent Colorado trip on a high note!We arrived at around 5:30pm, and the place was quite packed already - no surprise as it was New Year's Eve! Glad we made a reservation, and we were seated right away.Service was amazing! Our server was very attentive, friendly, and considerate. We were going to order some appetizers first as we needed more time to decide on main courses. He politely asked us to place food order all at once since the kitchen was busier than usual due to holiday season. We appreciated his full transparency, and his tone and the way he handled the situation was perfect - he took good care of their kitchen crew without offending the customers!Their cocktail was probably the best I've had during the whole trip. I had the "Birdwatcher" (bourbon based), a refreshing cocktail that's well balanced between citrusy and bitterness.I'll highlight a few dishes we had from that night:- Persimmon Carpaccio + Truffle: this is an item from the "kitchen fun" section of their menu, and honestly we didn't even know what to expect. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise! Persimmon's sweetness and truffle's earthiness complimented each other nicely, and the nuts on top added more texture to it!- Beet & Chicory Salad: just imagine having a bite mixed with sweetness from beets, citrusy from grapefruit, richness from goat ricotta cheese, and chewiness from pistachio. This is so satisfying! - Truffled Mushroom Tagliatelle: what a great change from the lighter carpaccio / salad dishes to a "full-body" pasta dish. Without surprise, the truffle butter further enhanced the nutty and earthy flavor of the porcini mushroom, and the pasta was cooked to perfection.We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Point Easy, and will definitely visit again when we're in the area next time!"

"This place is a beautiful little cozy open air restaurant serving delicious food in Golden, CO! I'm glad I made the 25 minute drive to get here.The little town of Golden that surrounds the restaurant is cute and rich with a history. My wife and I loved the restaurant and overall experience of coming here. We came for brunch and everything was so delicious.I would absolutely order the duck confit again, however I saw someone else order the salmon Benedict and it looked amazing.. The service was on par with upscale restaurants.We want to try their dinner menu, so far I'm pretty impressed with this place. I'll definitely be back and I absolutely recommend it.Happy eating!"

"Stellar service, great ambiance, delicious food... what more do you need! We recently hosted a group of 15 friends at Sunnyside Supper Club while visiting the area. The restaurant did a fabulous job accommodating our group. We were given the back area with 2 long tables. This allowed us to easily mingle with each other as well as order food and drink. Our waiter (who also doubled as the bartender) effortlessly took all our orders as people filtered in and out. He was even able to split out the check by couples, which made things so easy. The pizzas were great and my friends who had the burgers also enjoyed their dinner. I highly recommend Sunnyside Supper Club for large groups."

"Looking for a romantic date or double date night spot? American Elm's patio offers private, heated greenhouses that will have you enjoying a beautiful winter night, all the while cozy warm inside, sipping on fab cocktails & eating great food. We arrived at American Elm and were seated in our cutie lil' greenhouse. Each greenhouse had their own space heater & speaker. Our server Drew was lovely - she was attentive and had great recommendations on the menu. My favorite cocktail at American Elm continues to be The Pandan Chi Chi (a must order). The Pandan Chi Chi is made with Community Spirit Co. vodka, pandan, coconut, pineapple, & lime. This cocktail was visually stunning and tasted like a vanilla creamsicle with notes of pineapple & coconut.Tanya got the Metal Heard made with Uruapan Charanda & Rum Fire Jamaican rums, Clément Mahina coconut, pineapple, lime, bubbles. Smoky and Sweet - served on crushed ice in a Collins glass.The Portobello Wraps were made with bulgogi marinade, grilled portobello, bibb lettuce, carrot, sprouts, radish, cilantro, & toasted garlic chili oil. These veggie packed wraps were fresh, bright, & filled with savory portobellos.The Crispy Pork Belly was made with jalapeno creme, grilled seasonal fruit, pickled fresno chile, mustard seed, & cilantro. The pork belly was tender with a crispy outside layer. The smokiness of the pork was brightened by the seasonal fruit.The Artichoke Dip was made with three cheese blend, charred pepper, crostini, & crudites. This dip was solid - warm and cheesy with a delicate artichoke zing.The Deviled Eggs were made with smoked yolk, mustard seed, & house pork belly. The creamy, rich yolk filling was velvety texture and went well against the crunch of the pork - a mouthful of flavor.The Caesar Salad was made with romaine, roasted garlic croutons, cherry tomatoes, & parmesan crisp.American Elm makes all of their pasta in house, and you bet we were getting after it. The Duck Ragu Pappardelle was made with confit duck leg, burrata, pecorino, & basil. This was my favorite pasta of the night - the pappardelle was beautiful & generously coated in hearty rich sauce & smooth burrata.The Steak Frites were made with ribeye cap, bone marrow butter, arugula salad, & fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the bone marrow butter added a mouthwatering sweet, nutty flavor to the meat.The Creamy Casarecce was made with River Bear bacon, spring peas, local mushrooms, roasted garlic, & parmesan cream sauce. This savory pasta dish combined thick pasta, bacon pieces, & locally grown mushrooms which made for creamy and satisfying bites.The Lemon Maiale Rigatoni was made with sausage, spinach, heirloom tomatoes, confit garlic cloves, & parmesan. This pasta dish was characterized by creamy lemon butter sauce and a flavorful combo of Italian sausage and tender rigatoni.For dessert we had the Buttermilk Pie made with brown butter whip, nilla wafers, & strawberry gastrique and the Creme Brulee. A sweet ending to a fantastic meal!"
