Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Denver

Love love love the vibes! So relaxed, removed, intimate and approachable. Don’t let the casual vibes fool you—the service here is exceptional. Wonderfully welcoming, friendly, with an attention to detail that is worthy of a Michelin star but without any of the fuss. The menu variety is impressive, both on the food and the cocktail side of things. We will be back!

This was our first time having Sunday brunch here and The Foundry did not disappoint. Food was delish - our crew’s choices included a burger, cheesesteak, and the chicken parm sandwich special - all of which were very good. The Bloody Mary specials were tasty as well. Our server, Donald, was attentive and friendly. Had a great time!

It was my friends birthday and the entire team at O-Ku made her feel extra special. The host, the busers, wait staff, etc everyone said happy birthday…it was even on the menu. And they brought a birthday dish that was delicious, South End Shrimp, order it!!! Also they were out of her favorite roll (potato roll) bc they have to roll it before shift it is so intricate, we were bummed but moved on everything was so good. Towards the end of the meal they brought out a potato roll they rolled especially for us! Amazing! I rarely give words reviews but Mayling and team were awesome. Thank you!!

We were lucky to get a last minute reservation for bar seats. Which was great, because Erica was an amazing bartender and we enjoyed watching her create incredible cocktails and chatted away. She gave us dessert on the house for being her fave customers that night. The food was incredible. I loved the whole experience!

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
