Best Tapas Restaurants in Arvada

It wasn't just a dinner, it was a dining experience on steroids! We sat the bar and had the pleasure of meeting Reeves who ushered us through multiple courses of exquisite culinary masterpieces along with the perfect pairing of cocktails and wine. It was truly a masterpiece of Italian dining wrapped in a fantastic setting with an expert guide (Reeves) leading us along a path of decadence. We will definitely return! ❤️

We enjoy Izakaya Den and understand that it has complex menu choices, which we consider a feature (not a bug). However, our waiter managed to make the menu more confusing rather than easier to navigate. We couldn't tell whether he was trying to "sell" us on items, provide information, or just hear himself talk! He got very far afield on the preparation of Tuna Collar and then discovered that he was describing a totally different dish. He also laid-on a thick layer of jargon, i.e "flavor profiles", etc. instead of speaking with clarity. The experience at Izakaya Den is already very good and didn't need to be embellished with BS. Fortunately, since one in our party has serious allium (onion/garlic) and gluten sensitivities, the order was placed correctly. We'll definitely will return again, and just hope we don't get the same waiter! Yeesh!

We love Vin Rouge and come often. Jenn is such an amazing hostess! She makes you feel at home. The links to descriptions of wines are really helpful, but Jenn can also guide you. I’ve found some amazing wines through her recommendations. She sources from local shops for her charcuterie and cheese boards when she can. This is a true gem in our neighborhood!

Food and service are always fantastic, but it’s too loud to have any kind of conversation.

This is a fantastic place to get a cocktail or few with friends you haven’t seen in awhile and want to talk and share a moment with. The vibe within the Spirit house is cool, calm and atmospheric. I have been here a number of times now and enjoy every single one. The cocktails are unique and delicious, with good variety and great food to pair along side. Highly recommend checking this place out.
