Big Hoss Bar-B-Q 1 User Reviews
3961 Tennyson Street Barbecue $$, $$$ Northwest  
This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit... More>>
Centro Latin Kitchen & Refreshment Palace Write a Review
950 Pearl Street Central American, Mexican, South American $$ Boulder  
The pig is proof on the hoof, evidence that the food gods want us to be happy. And the pork belly-studded masa cake on the menu at Centro proves that Dave Query is definitely in league with those gods. Because not only is Centro a beautiful restaurant, a casual restaurant and an undeniably cool restaurant, its food is good, smart, original and... More>>
Cherry Crest Seafood Market and Restaurant Write a Review
5909 S. University Blvd. Seafood $$, $$$ Southeast Suburbs  
The menu at this small, friendly strip-mall restaurant and fish market is large, and the kitchen where all these dishes are created is tiny. The cooks crammed in that space are slinging sizzle platters, saucing, topping and arranging a dozen different varieties of fish, in the process turning out seafood dishes that are among the best in the... More>>
The Corner Office Write a Review
1401 Curtis St. American $$$ Downtown  
The decor is extraordinarily kitschy-hip: half ultra-modern diner, half rumpus room. Like everything else at the Corner Office, the menu is heavy on style and designed to catch the eye first, dragging the rest of the sensorium along behind: individual scalloped casserole dishes of lobster mac-and-cheese, flat plates of cheeseburger sliders... More>>
Duo Restaurant Write a Review
2413 W. 32nd Ave. American $$$ Northwest  
Chef John Broening has defined a whole new neighborhood with his cooking at Duo -- New American comfort food with a touch of French genius. Weeknights are fairly tame in this Highland zip code, but come Saturday, Duo is loud and boisterous -- a guaranteed good time with good food. The front door never stops swinging, releasing a blast of piano... More>>
Elway's Write a Review
2500 E. 1st Ave. New American, Steakhouse $$$$ Central  
Every neighborhood needs a neighborhood restaurant, and in Cherry Creek, that neighborhood restaurant is Elway’s. Chef Tyler Wiard and his crew cook from a menu that speaks to the primal needs of Cherry Creekers: all steaks and swank and smarts. The room is sumptuous--not so much clubby as sleek and classy; the service is warm and... More>>
Frasca Food & Wine Write a Review
1738 Pearl St. Italian $$, $$$, $$$$ Boulder  
After all the gushing, all the awards, Frasca still remains the best we’ve got. Some people would say that the expectations are too high, that no restaurant can possibly live up to such standards. But those people would be wrong. Frasca stands in the top tier of restaurants not just locally, but nationally. The service is better, the... More>>
French 250 Write a Review
250 Steele St. French $$$$ Central  
While the space is lovely and the wine list an oenophilic wet dream, the menu is what sets French 250 apart. Presented by course, it features the classics upon which La Cuisine grew in the United States -- presented with a grand and almost giddy adherence to the flour-cream-and-butter basics of haute gastronomy. There's escargots dans la... More>>
Izakaya Den Write a Review
1518 South Pearl Street Fusion, Japanese / Sushi, Spanish $$$ South  
Izakaya Den's menu is impossible, ridiculous, amazing, awe-inspiring and should never work in a million years, but somehow it does. At its core, it's a fusion menu. A Japanese-Mediterranean fusion menu (with hints of northern Spain and France and America shot through it like rogue strands of culinary DNA). The room is large and beautiful; the... More>>
Luca d'Italia Write a Review
711 Grant St. Italian $$$$ Central  
Frank Bonanno doesn't cook anything that's not memorable. What's more, he's fearless. And Luca's menu is designed for gluttonous abandon, arranged for wild flights of pairing and sharing, set up in an attempt to make people eat the way the Italians do -- with several courses of small plates leading up to the entrees. The portions are small, the... More>>
Oshima Ramen 3 User Reviews
7800 E. Hampden Ave. Japanese / Sushi $ Southeast  
We're very lucky. As a matter of fact, we're the luckiest people in the whole USA, because this small, unprepossessing spot squashed into Tiffany Plaza is the only Oshima Ramen in America. Brought from Tokyo to the Rocky Mountain West by local noodle magnate Todd Imamura, this marks the beginning (and the end) of the Japanese Oshima Ramen... More>>
Osteria Marco Write a Review
1453 Larimer Italian $$, $$$ Downtown  
Hanging above the entrance to Osteria Marco, Frank Bonanno’s newest restaurant, is a brass pig. You could miss it if you weren't looking for it; as a matter of fact, you could easily miss the entire restaurant – which is mostly below ground. But in that warm, welcoming basement space you’ll find a gourmet wonderland of artisan... More>>
Palace Arms Write a Review
321 17th St. French $$$$ Downtown  
At the Palace Arms, the high-end restaurant in the Brown Palace, you could easily spend a couple thousand dollars on dinner, and while you could also get out for a hundred bucks, why bother? This is one of those places where a meal should be a once-a-year -- maybe once in lifetime -- experience. From the caviar to the bison Rossini to endless... More>>
Potager 1 User Reviews
1109 Ogden St. American, New American $$, $$$ Central  
Chef Teri Rippeto’s little garden restaurant is a longtime favorite of Denver’s better chefs, mostly because the place never, ever disappoints. From the entirely seasonal, garden-driven menu to the comforting service and plain-as-plaster dining room, Potager seems incapable of doing any wrong. The kitchen is one of the best-educated in... More>>
Radda Trattoria Write a Review
1265 Alpine Ave. Italian $, $$, $$$ Boulder  
Matt Jansen, owner of Mateo, opened Radda last year in the midst of north Boulder's low-rise sprawl, and it’s a welcome addition. This is an Italian restaurant, a small-plates restaurant, a comfortable and casual restaurant where the food serves as hearty sustenance, stimulus for conversation and an excuse to gather together with friends.... More>>
Royal Peacock Write a Review
5290 Arapahoe Ave. Indian / Afghan / Tibetan $$, $$$ Boulder  
The first thing you notice about the Royal Peacock is the smell: incense and curry, old carpets and fresh cinnamon and ancient tandoor smoke. It’s a warm, cloying and sweet smell, and your first hint that the Peacock isn’t your average strip-mall Indian outpost. The very traditional kitchen offers tastes of India straight out of Goa... More>>
Sae Jong Kwan Write a Review
2680 S. Havana St. Barbecue, Korean $$$ Aurora  
Though Sae Jong Kwan (aka House of Korean BBQ) focuses partly on the tabletop barbecue dishes that most fans of American Korean food are familiar with, the real delights of this long, super-traditional menu are the very authentic Korean soups, stews and entrees that forego the flash of the bbq grill and aim for a rare, ethnic sort of comfort.... More>>
Steuben's 5 User Reviews
523 E. 17th Ave. American $$ Central  
Steuben's is named after a beloved Boston establishment opened by Josh Wolkon's great-uncles Max and Joe back in 1945; this Steuben's was brought to life over months and years by Wolkon, his wife, Jen, and chef Matt Selby, the same folks who brought us Vesta Dipping Grill. The place looks perfect -- not just like any hometown diner or roadhouse,... More>>
Sushi Den 1 User Reviews
1487 S. Pearl St. Japanese / Sushi $$$$ South  
Any way you slice it, Sushi Den is a top sushi spot in a crowded market. It's been a trendy destination for nearly twenty years. Why? Because this house believes in importing everything it can straight from the warm, bloody center of the sushi universe: the fish markets of Japan. The sushi crew serves deeply purple tuna, iridescent toro banded... More>>
Sushi Sasa Write a Review
2401 15th St. #80 Japanese / Sushi $$$ Downtown  
"Kokoro bebop" -- that's what chef Wayne Conwell's doing at the very hip, ultra-modern Sushi Sasa. "Kokoro" from the heart of traditional Japanese culture, "bebop" from his tendency to riff on and reinterpret Japanese soul food. More than that, he's adding to the canon of Japanese cuisine, bringing in the influences of Italian and French food,... More>>
Tacos D.F. 1 User Reviews
2020 S. Parker Rd. Mexican $ Southeast  
In its previous incarnation, Tacos D.F. was the best loncheria on Parker Road, and it’s still like a taco truck parked indoors. There are no printed menus, no waitresses. Orders are taken through a hole in the back wall that looks in on the kitchen, and a dry-erase board lists the available tacos, tortas, burritos, huaraches and gorditas.... More>>
Tacos y Salsas #3 Write a Review
910 S. Federal Blvd. Mexican $ Southwest  
Tacos y Salsas is a tough place to miss -- as shiny and carnival-colored as much of Federal is gray and grim and run down by long, rough use. This is one of Denver’s best and brightest new taquerias, the only link in a three-unit local chain that has a liquor license. The combination of cold beers and killer barbacoa tacos, tortas and... More>>
Toast 5 User Reviews
2700 W. Bowles Ave. American, Breakfast, Brunch $, $$ Southwest Suburbs  
Toast is small and comfortable, with colorful, breakfast-themed art on the walls and decorative toasters lurking in odd corners. The atmosphere could be partly nitrous oxide: a couple of deep breaths, and suddenly everything is Day-Glo and an hour evaporates in five minutes. Service operates on a fast-casual model, with orders taken at the... More>>
Uoki Restaurant Write a Review
701 E. 6th Ave. Japanese / Sushi, Korean $$ Central  
Anyone looking for unusual ethnic mash-ups, American style, will find them at Uoki, a combination Korean/Japanese restaurant and sushi bar with a menu that covers virtually all of the Asian comfort foods. Here you can make a meal of tekka maki, a bowl of excellent, thick and spicy green-curry soup with potatoes and carrots, and sang choo sam... More>>
Venice Ristorante 3 User Reviews
1700 Wynkoop St. Italian $$$ Downtown  
This second Venice from owner Alessandro Carollo is a beauty: coldly stylish, undeniably luxurious, and with a menu that reads like a primer of every good idea the Italians ever had. It’s expensive, though not murderously so. It’s fancy, though jacket and tie are not required. But most important, this restaurant finally offers a... More>>
