Where is the Best Date Spot in Denver, Colorado?
My husband and I enjoy trying a variety of favorites at Chinook Tavern although weekend visits are especially wonderful with great food and live romantic guitar music. However, I am writing this review because on our most recent visit, we treated ourselves to a special Italian Winemakers Dinner that we found to be spectacular. My favorites on the Five Course menu were the Sushi-Grade Tuna Tartare appetizer, the Chateau Beef Sirloin for my entree. I especially liked this dish, it was topped Summer Truffle Butter giving it a delicate touch. And the very unique fresh berries that were served with a scotch vanilla sauce with fresh cracked pepper. I feel the dishes were a wonderful compliment to the wines that were served. Kudos to the waiter for doing such a professional and timely job with this large group. Lastly and most importanly 5 courses and 5 wines for $75…..what a bargain!!!! Can’t wait till the next one We love this place.Pros + Beautiful art and decor ~ off-street
Palomino is successful for a reason. Beautiful atmosphere, great food, and normally great service. Our special requests were followed to a tee. No butter, no problem. One guest ordered simply grilled fish; in this case Halibut and it arrived flavorful and elegantly presented. A perfect example that fish neednt be slathered with butter and sauce to taste wonderful. This doesnt just happen, theres talent behind the magic. If you are a fussy eater or just dont feel like a high calorie meal, try Palomino. They are happy to accommodate! On the other hand, theres plenty of saucy dishes if you just want to go nuts. Try the Roasted Prawns piled around a mountain of mashed potatoes. I cant say enough about this place for a client lunch or dinner before a show. Prices are reasonable and if you tell them ahead of time youre entertaining clients, they double check on you to see all is well. Bravo Palomino! These ladies and gentlemen know Denver loves great service and food!Pros +
I’m a fan of Thai Basil but every now and again go over to Tommy’s instead. The ambience is totally different and I can get glass noodles, which I love. So, the space is very urban, which is great, except that the din of your fellow diners makes it very hard to hear over your own table. Whoever built it wasn’t thinking of the acoustics. The food is quickly served, fresh and very good. I like the variety and think the prices are generally reasonable. LOVE the green tea ice cream but wish they would sometimes have some specials on the Singha. If you are in the neighborhood, it’s worth checking out.Pros + Affordable, good ThaiCons – A bit loud in the dining room
We arrived to the 16th St Mall by cab. We we’re staving so Willie G’s looked like an inviting place. The menu was available in the lobby with prices. Once inside we we’re seated at the back of bar area. Probably because of our hiking attire. The service from the staff was excellent and very professional. We did suspect the pricing was just a tad higher than advertised however it was worth a few extra. I had the Almond Trout with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. We had an overall great dining experience. The staff was also very through in giving us directions to the best night spots. We were there on a Wednesday night. Pros + Location in the middle of 16th St Mall area. Cons – Parking didn’t appear to be close but we arrived by cab.
