Where is the Best Family-Friendly Dining in Denver, Colorado?
I am the owner of Virgilio’s Pizzeria and yes my name is Virgilio. This message is addressed to the individual (s) who has written 20 different reviews under different aliases in the past few months. You should be ashamed of yourself. This pathetic attempt to try to slander me personally,my hard working staff, or my fabulously cheesy pizza is as see-through as your sub-standard pepperoni! I know it hurts to see me in the paper and magazines over and over and over, basking in the gloriousness of my marinara, but that is what hard work and great quality produces! If you think writing reviews that say such ridiculous falsehoods such as “don’t believe the hype”, “greasy”, “expensive”, “bad service” will hurt my business you are out of luck! Business is better than ever as you already know, with lines out the door daily. May I suggest that you spend time at your restaurant, not mine, trying to make a better product, instead of writing bogus reviews, maybe we would see you in the pap
We’ve tried a number of Indian restaurants in the metro Denver area (Bombay Clay Oven, Little India, India House, Namaste and Taste of India to name a few), but this is our favorite. We’ve never been there for dinner, b/c it’s too hard to pass up the variety in the lunch buffet. I’ve looked at the dinner menu, though, and the prices are much more reasonable than dinner menus at other Indian restaurants. (For example, Bombay Clay Oven – dinner prices are a joke at $18-$24, but I think it’s just b/c of it’s location in Cherry Creek. Still, we were highly disappointed in the dinner at Bombay – we could’ve gone to Mel’s, which is now closed, for the same price.) Even at lunch, Jewel of India’s bread is made-to-order (with lots of butter!), not placed on the buffet line like most places. Jewel of India is our favorite, b/c the flavoring and spicing is the best we’ve had. Also, the variety of offerings at lunch are better than any other Indian lunch buffet we’ve visited. Most places
My friend and I went there for lunch and overall I found the place very disappointing. The staff was very nice and greeted us outside and made us very welcome. Our waiter was attentive and talkative, not that smiley though, but it wasn’t a problem. The place stunk, almost like a raw or stale shrimp smell, I have been to several seafood restaurants and never smelt anything so bad. Our garlic bread was crisp and tasty. My fish and chips had nice fries, but the mahi mahi was tasteless. The mudpie dessert had no flavor, except for tons & tons of sugar. Our bill was $44.18 for two people, I don’t mind paying high prices for seafood, but I expect high quality, not this junk. If you want good seafood, go to one of Denver’s excellent non-franchise seafood restaurants, heck even Chilli’s or Applebees beats this place hands down. The only saving grace was the good service (4 stars) the food was awful. Pros + Good serviceCons – decor, poor quality entrees, pricey, and lack of value
