Highly recommend to Denver patrons and out of towners.

I love Esters. I've tried a ton of dishes there and honestly nothing has been a disappointment…read more Some of my favorites are Esters nachos, the of the earth pizza, and the chicken Caesar wrap with bbq chicken. Their salads are also always so good. The produce is super fresh and their combos are usually surprising. For example, I just recently had their seasonal green goddess salad and it had farfalle pasta noodles which was so fun. Some of their menu is seasonal, so get what you like before it rotates out! The Oneida park spot is really cute. I love the interior and they have a great covered patio for more all-weather seating. Parking is always fairly easy as you can park in the nearby neighborhoods if needed.

We stopped by Esters Oneida Park on a Friday evening around 6 p.m., and the place was pretty busy…read more There was about a 20-minute wait, but it went by quickly since we were able to grab drinks at the bar and hang out outside while waiting for our table. The whole atmosphere here is very family-friendly. There's a large open outdoor area where kids were running around and playing, and being right next to a soft serve spot makes it even better for families. Inside, it had a great sports bar vibe without feeling overwhelming. They had all the NBA and NHL playoff games on, and I could easily see myself coming back here to catch a game and grab food with friends. The beer selection was also solid, with a nice variety of local breweries and ciders. For food, we started with the roni rolls, which were really good. The portion isn't huge, but it's perfect for sharing between 2-4 people. The menu mentions allowing extra time for them to come out, but ours arrived surprisingly quickly. We also split a half Caesar salad, which was pretty standard but worked well as a lighter course between appetizers and pizza. The highlight was definitely the Catapult pizza -- really flavorful and absolutely worth ordering. Would definitely recommend the pizzas here overall. For dessert, we went with the brownie skillet sundae based on our waiter's recommendation. It's basically like a smaller brownie version of a pizookie. The edges were a little overdone from the hot skillet, but overall it was still really good. If you're a brownie fan or just have a sweet tooth, it's definitely worth trying. Great energy, great setup for families and sports fans alike, and a place I'd happily come back to.

It really gave me RVA (Richmond, VA circa early 2000s) nostalgia vibes like for places I worked in around Broadway during college! Wow. Love everything about this place. I'd been going to a lot of coffee shops lately where the style is all like new stuff and new style (which I LOVE) but the style of Tessa Delicatessen was so unexpectedly refreshing. I didn't realize that this part of Colfax was Park Hill! I saw a lot of other interesting places nearby. Can't wait to go back and wander! Not sure if it was the owner that greeted me at the register but she was very friendly and warm. I love the self serve coffee and water and you get to pick a unique mug to drink from. Really strong neighborhood vibe and I think she said it had been open since 2017. So cool! I'm obsessed with the spaciousness and space! My breakfast sandwich did explode all over my hand - so be careful! The egg is soft inside! I got coffee, cheesy hash and the breakfast sandwich. $25 for everything including tip. I think that's a great deal for a lovely morning vibe and breakfast in 2026!

Tessa Delicatessen was our first stop of the year, and if inviting prosperity involves eating well,…read morewe absolutely did it right. We started with their traditional black eyed pea soup because good luck traditions matter. Shortly after, I "found" three dollars in my coat pocket. Was it already my change from the store? Yes. Did I still credit the soup? Also yes. From there, we leaned fully into deli mode. The cheeseburger was solid and satisfying, the Reuben hit all the right notes, and the macaroni salad was exactly what you want it to be. No frills, just done right. Dessert sealed the deal. The cheesecake was rich without being heavy, and the carrot cake was genuinely excellent. Tessa feels like one of those neighborhood spots you can come back to again and again. Comforting, straightforward, and very good at what they do. Fortune and prosperity aside, this place is worth a visit on its own.

I especially loved the wall decorated with Converse shoes and the great lighting throughout. The restaurant was spacious, and the open-glass kitchen let you see all the action happening behind the scenes. They offer specialty cocktails, and I tried the Birdie. It was a fun and refreshing vodka based drink perfect for summer. For dinner, I ordered the fried chicken. The menu says, "Be patient, it's worth it," and I couldn't agree more. It was delicious, perfectly moist and paired well with the coleslaw and mashed potatoes on the side. I highly recommend going if you're in the Denver area.

I stopped by here tonight after trying to find a seat at the bar across the street at Abbey Tavern…read more Due to the World Cup bar stools weren't available. I'm glad I made the trip across Colfax to give this restaurant a go. The nice lady who acknowledged me when I entered was very friendly. I had never dined here before and she spent a few minutes going over the menu and offered me a taste of any salad I was interested in. I settled on two, the buffalo chicken and the orzo pickle party. I could tell after my first bite the chicken in the buffalo chicken was range free. It was moist and delicious. The flavor was awesome, not to spicy. The orzo pickle party was loaded with fresh dill, my favorite. The orzo was a bit over but apparently it didn't bother me that much as I ate it all. It was fresh and delicious. She told me all the salads are made fresh daily and you can tell by the taste that's true. The portion size I purchased was an 8 oz container for both. The price for the buffalo chicken, $10, and the orzo pickle party, $8. A bit pricy but worth it. There are larger portions available. My only complaint is they don't take cash, credit card only which is why I gave them four stars instead of five. I fully understand that. If I was operating a restaurant on the corner of Forest & Colfax I wouldn't have cash in my restaurant either. Please give this place a try. I'm sure the construction in front of the place isn't helping her make a go of it. The next time I'm in the mood for a lite lunch or dinner I'll make an effort to eat here.

Definitely coming back.

(all of their drinks are self-serve so you can get refills or try multiple drinks) Cute restaurant and nice location to park and walk around the beautiful neighborhood. The price wasn't as expensive as I would have assumed. My salad was decent sized and came with a protein included for $13.
