Where is the Best Romantic Dining in Denver, Colorado?
My sister and I went there just for some drinks and were very impressed. It was my birthday and they gave us a free dessert, which was absolutely delicious. The recommended great wines, and the artichoke dip was also great- actual artichokes, not like some places that you go where is is just pureed and you can tell it came from the freezer! The only drawback is the extremely loud bar across the street! Of course Vines is a little pricey, but that ‘s because it’s a wine bar! If you want cheap, go to the bar across the street.Pros + Great wine list, good foodCons – Across from a very loud bar
Food Snob as a rule will not review a bad restaurant. I’m torn a little on this one. I want to like it, but as the last review so eloquently points out they have a good deal of work to do.The view is wonderful. Very Romantic, my wife was awed for our anniversary. We were greeted with our reservation and on request, were seated at the best window seat looking over the city. The appitizers were nice, but not special enough to warrant the price. The “Twilight Deal” was appealing as my wife likes smaller portions. I, on the other hand was going for the big Prime Rib. Both meals were overcooked just enough to be annoying. Our server, was very attentive and offered to fix them, but we opted to not let our anniversary be scarred and made the best of it. The desert tray was nice, simple and limited. The regular choices. The Chocolate cake was the best. I do hope that not only we diners read these, but that restaurants make regular visits to these sites as well to see how we feel.
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.
Morton’s use to be the place to get great steak, the only place. Not so much anymore, it’s still good, but certainly not the best.We were in to the Denver location recently and had an average meal. The server was new and didn’t know the menu all that well, but was very friendly and attentive. She didn’t know much about the wine list which was rather disappointing.The steaks were slightly over cooked, but still great cuts of beef. The Caesar salad was way over dressed, more like soup. The jumbo lump crab cakes were perfect, crisp on the outside, nicely done. The hot chocolate cake is truly legendary and worth a trip back alone.With the price of quality aged beef today, it’s a sin to not have the steak at the proper temperature. A place like Morton’s knows better or at least use to.Pros + Great desserts and sidesCons – A little spendy, needs an interior make over, resting on laurels
