Another good choice is 7 Leguas on Colfax and Cherry. Not upscale but food is great and top shelf margarita is fantastic and packs a punch.

Sounds like breakfast?Quote:

I do love me some Lucile's (never been to the Denver location though).

LOL, he is at a Jewish camp, and will probably want some pork, bacon, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, etc…Quote:

Tacos Tequila Whiskey on Colfax has good tacos but I prefer North County (which is out of your way but not too far)
Tons of ethnic food along Colfax though I haven't tried most of the places
Shotguns is right there. Just saying...
Go south. I know an Asian guy that will vouch for this Thai: https://goo.gl/maps/yFNYxH1m2AqzfSLA7Quote:

Mmmm….rellenos…,roasted hatch green chiles…enchiladas…,
Probably not what you are looking for but thread drift and uneducated opinions about questions that weren't asked is a staple of this place...
Spinellis is Park Hill for Italians

Sounds like the Park Hill version of Lakewood's Carmine Leonardo's.Quote:

Spice Room on Colfax is just out of your way and has excellent Indian food.Quote:

If you go south to I25, Esters is a great neighborhood spot with a good variety. Bull & Bush is classic pub fare. Baghdad is also really good just S. of I25.
Mmmm... Bull & Bush. Used to be one of my go-to's for fish-n-chips.Quote:

Nope - if you go south to I-25 you then have to run the downtown gauntlet. Going north you avoid *all* that horseshit.Quote:

I would still pick Lucile's, you mentioned Snooze so Lucile's would fit as a "replacement" for that and it is kinda/sorta ethnic. Is cajun/creole ethnic?
You'll also pass Chook chicken going N. on Colorado. It's fast-casual rotisserie chicken, but it's got a couple James Beard chefs behind it.
I'm vegetarian so can't speak to it directly, but foodies I know dig it.
So, we went out to Wild Tacos downtown, and OMG, was it really really good. A little chi-chi, but creative and extremely well done.
Impressed.
Choice City. Done and done.Quote:

But full disclosure, I'm not a fancy hotel guy, like they are for sleeping only and I would have been happy in a Holiday Inn. But, location is everything, and the location was great.
As far as food in Denver, I woke up the day after the wedding with a top 10 hangover and Hamburguesa Don Jesus was the key to bring me back to life. Other than that, the catered Mexican food at the wedding was the best thing I ate.
Denver has its Michelin stars now. Only place I've been that got a star was Wolf's Tailor. I think we went about a year ago. The food was thoroughly interesting and well presented. Our fully furnished private wall tent, complete with gas fireplace, was delightful. The service was top notch.
But I'll be damned if our meal for 2 wasn't over $500 and I even opted for a beer instead of the fancy wine pairings cuz I'm too much of a wine snob. The worst part by far was that after 9 courses I left hungry and had to grab a burger.
Y'all been to any of these joints?
Been to Wolfs and Frasca. I think they both deserve stars based on the couple of others I've been to in Chi and Europe.
Live next to and have eaten a good bit at a couple of the Bibs -- Glo, Ginger Pig, Ash'Kara. I like them all, but probably not my favorite values in the city. How Tavernetta qualified as a bib (supposedly good value) I don't know -- but it is good.
I mean - that's how these fancy-type restaurants go, right? :DQuote:

Venice Ristorante or Panzano's if you like Italian...Quote:

if more a meat and potatoes crowd, STK just down the street from there is also good but fairly expensive.
Oh - and if you go to Venice, get the pappardelle con cinghiale if you like meat ragu.
Goddammit. Now I'm hungry for some cinghiale. :D
Mercantile and Tavernetta downtown are also both good. If money isn't a big holdup, Guard and Grace is fantastic steakhouse.Quote:

Oh - Fruition is a nice fancy-type dinner joint. Also a short Uber from downtown proper (it's on 6th Ave).
Also - probably not too late for a lot of places for reservations... Denver is still a cow-town at the end of the day. :D
Sam's #3 is the only answer.
Any beta on Marigold in Five Points? Plants + cocktails, FKNA.
We moved over by Morrison this month and have lots of new spots in the area to check out!

Fruition and Potager are in the lead for now. She's defiantly not a steak and potato gal!
I don't think Fruition has bar-seating, but they probably have some non-primetime slots open...Quote:

Potager doesn't do reservations, right? So go early or late if you're heading there.
My boss told me recently that the best meals he's had in town in the last year were at Olivia but they're always booked solid when I try to find a table.
Speaking of pasta, Barolo is as good under Ryan's leadership as it ever was under Blair's. Def worth considering, especially if you're into wine as Ryan is an ms.
Great filling vegetarian food just south of downtown at Somebody People. I'm no vegetarian but they do a great tasting menu and I love an old school traditional no substitutions coursed meal.
I avoid Bonanno's restaurants on principle which is why I leave out Mizuna.
Barolo is great, bit further away. With recent Michelin recognition figured it may be hard to get into.
Potager takes reservations by phone. Just not for the patio I believe.
