Happy Hour all day Monday's!! The Oysters and Calamari was one of the freshest we've ever tasted, clean, and tasty. The staff was great, and our server Chris so helpful, he made us borrow he's phone charger. That's what happens when you forget your charger...MoreWe are glad YOU can say DELICIOUS! The Calamari is pretty darn tasty...we put it up against any Calamari ANYWHERE! Thanks for joining us and we will keep that phone charger handy for next time! Cheers!

Reservations easy to make, the fish was so delightful and fresh, I am coming back here again. I'd say the best sushi place in Denver! Definitely plan to make a trip here if you're looking for some unforgettable sushi.

We were staying for a couple of nights at the Holiday Inn Cherry Creek and had done a bit of homework before we left the UK as to where to eat breakfast other than the hotel. Other nearby options on Colorado Boulevard didn't attract us so we gave Sam's No 3 a try, just 10 minutes walk from the hotel. We were met and seated straight away by a smiling waitress and there was certainly plenty of choice on the breakfast menu but what stood out was the Fruit Parfait, a cup of seasonal berries, Greek yogurt & granola and what an excellent choice it was, absolutely delicious. We also called in that evening for dinner and a beer which was fine, a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly at all times.
We were so impressed we returned early the following morning for a repeat serving and as the service was quick, with a mug of real English tea it was the perfect start to a long day. Although we tried to find a similar breakfast on our 16 day tour we never got even close, well done Sam's No 3!

The highlight dinner of our Denver visit. Really creative, beautifully presented food and attentive service. The Stone Ground Polenta soup, lamb bolognese with gnocchi and crispy potato-wrapped oysters Rockefeller were our starters. For mains we tried the pan roasted monkfish with crispy baby artichokes in a light saffron fume, duck breast with farro and chestnut risotto and poached pear, and pan roasted steelhead with orechhiette, Marcona almond and lemon caper butter. Their signature lemon merangue pie was more beautiful than delicious. It was a warm welcoming place, no rushing or pressure to eat and leave. Enjoyable and leisurely pace.

This was our 2nd visit to Ambli and it was even better than our first visit. Located in a strip mall, its appearance is deceiving. This is an eclectic, top notch restaurant and quite pricey but worth the expense. Our server was excellent and for our starter, we ordered the lobster shooters (excellent). Our mains were Paella (absolutely divine) and the curry sea bass (wonderful). All washed down with an excellent bottle of Hofstatter Pinot Nero. All said, a memorable evening.

I stopped eating year more than a year ago because the service was extremely slow and the quality of the food was extremely inconsistent. However, I went back with a friend last week and again by myself this week and I can easily recommend it as a place for excellent and pleasant service and delicious, fresh food (BBQ "chicken" salad was delicious but get the dressing on the side....I preferred the chipolte). I hope the tastiness of the food and the quality of the service continue!

Modmarket is my go-to place when I want a delicious meal that is satisfying while being kind to my waistline. All the food is fresh, made with quality ingredients, and delicious! I'm obsessed with the Fiesta Salad! It's a flavor explosion! I'm not a person who loves ordering salads (I often do because I should but I'm always really wanting a pizza or sandwich, all of which are great here) but this salad is so good that I actually crave it!! I feel so satisfied every time I get it. The half salad is plenty for a meal for me.
Your receipt gives you a breakdown of calories, proteins, carbs, and fats which is really nice to know. The measure and weigh everything so it is pretty accurate.
The staff here is always so friendly. It is clean and there are lots of places to sit. I need to stand because of a back problem so I love the tall tables! This is definitely one of my favorite spots and I eat here at least once a week.
Save your receipt because you can get 10% off the next time you eat there.
8. Sushi Den

We had Sushi, sashimi and tempura here for lunch, and all were excellent - great flavor and presentation. I got jalapeño sashimi, and I think next time I would just go traditional. I think the jalapeño just hid the flavor of the fish somewhat. The rainbow rolls and the shrimp tempura rolls were great, and the mixed tempura was perfectly cooked with a light, crisp coating.
I walked though through the front main room, and the back room. Per DB Meter Pro (an app), the noise levels were 65-70 in the back, and 70-75 in front - a noticeable difference.

Love this place! We take a walk through Wash Park, then head over for some great ice cream. My favorite place in the area. All sorts of flavors and toppings. There's usually a long line on the weekends, (even in the snow!) but well worth the wait anytime of year.
10. Denver Biscuit Company

Reviewed By Matthew B - Houston, Texas
The first time I visited here back in 2015, they were out of biscuits, ironically. I'm glad I came back early this time. One of the best biscuits and gravy plates I've ever had. Could easily compete with any restaurant in the south in terms of taste and quality. Advice: come early, and if it's your first time like me, try the Franklin. The waiting line usually forms shortly after 8.
