The French Press

Reviewed By JAN B

This quaint, unassuming coffee shop has wonderful food, in a relaxed but welcoming environment. All of the staff were friendly, informative and attentive. There were four in our party for lunch, two ordered salads, and two ordered soup and sandwiches. We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections, as each was fresh and most flavorful! Our whole party highly recommends the Belmar location... we will definitely return.

Truly a hidden gem in Denver. Along Sloan Lake with skiers and paddle boarders and ducks. Awesome service with NADINE, and excellent food. Bloody Mary’s were 2 for 1 for regulars, eggs Benedict had multiple options, special quiche every day, so many options. Sit outside if you can and tell them General Bob sent you.

Loved this pizza spot! Cool location in an eclectic area. The ingredients were superb and the crust was perfectly baked with a wonderful flavor. If you’re picky about your pizza, this is your place!

Old Chicago

Reviewed By Hazeliis

This eatery is conveniently located among a number of other corporate/chain restaurants on the ever-busy Wadsworth Boulevard, which connects to the 285. That's important because that is one of the main highways you'll likely use to visit Red Rocks Amphitheater and so you can head out of your hotel to your concert, pop in at Old Chicago for dinner, and be on your way to the show. I found the service to be very attentive and helpful. When I asked about the Colorado IPAs the waiter offered to have me taste a couple to help with my decision, and the gent was present though not pushy. I did try a pre-dinner mule (they have a number of them), and wasn't impressed at their size or flavor, but the personal Chicken Alfredo with bacon pizza was hot, generously sized, and filling, as well as tasting yummy. He recommended a simple New York cheesecake with a few berries and syrup on top, and it completed my meal. There are a number of TVs everywhere in the dining areas, and most are set to sports programming. Perhaps the time of day for my visit (i.e. around 545pm ahead of a 7PM concert start) accounted for a conspicuously older crowd, but there were also a number of kiddos and families out with grandma and/or grandpa. All in all a very satisfying experience.

Sassafras American Eatery

Reviewed By ToniaLuvsTravel33

I love this place! It is in an old house, the inside sits like a comfy, rustic coffee house. The atmosphere is easy, the menu is full & the drink menu is HUGE! I had a delicious dirty chai, and scrumptious breakfast sausage & cheese grits. Everything was cooked to perfection & quick! There was enough parking & cute extras like tiny spoons & wonderful jelly on the table. I definitely will be returning to this, or their other locations!

Slow to take order, slower to bring order, even slower to bring drinks, etc. Waiter seemed more interested and mesmerized by the rain outside. Two burgers ordered medium well and they both came out bleeding. Ordered the same margarita 3 times and never received it. Ordered the same sauces 3 times and finally received them with our to go boxes. Do not recommend this place!

Teller's Taproom

Reviewed By Kelly K

Tellers is a great neighborhood, basic dining place, especially if you’re looking to avoid a chain restaurant. The salads are really good, but so are th burgers if you’re feeling more hungry. Nightly specials are generally winners too. Or you can make a meal of appetizers - the Brussels sprouts, tater tots, fondue, shrimp and the artichoke are all favorites. Yum!

The Keg Steakhouse & Bar

Reviewed By gypsyuno

We’ve had dinner at The Keg near Colorado Mills twice recently. This is a nice restaurant, very tastefully decorated inside, subdued and elegant. On both occasions our service was excellent. As you enter, the bar is to the left and the dining areas are ahead and to the right. Immediately to the right is a smaller dining area, separated from the main room by a half wall. It is cozier and quieter than the main dining area, which can get very loud. This is basically a steakhouse and I can attest that the prime rib is excellent, and my dining companions said the filet and New York Strip are excellent too. I cannot recommend the parmesean crusted Halibut however; if you go here probably best to stick to the steaks. The short ribs were pretty good; not as good as the steaks. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat in the west Denver area.

Blue Sky Cafe

Reviewed By luv2travelwichita18

We chose this cafe based on location. It is a cute place with plenty of parking and excellent service. Our server was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. The menu has many options, especially for vegetarians. However the taste and presentation were very mediocre. I had the salmon tacos and it cane with “salmon sticks” that tasted bland and freezer burnt. My daughter had the veggie tacos and they were equally bland.

Every thing is consistently great, from the management, the servers, food, wine selections and atmosphere. Prices are extremely reasonable for top quality food. Been going for 25 + years and have never been disappointed.
