Went here after hearing people talk about it online and honestly the patio alone sold me. We went…read morearound lunchtime and it wasn't too busy, so it had this calm relaxed energy that worked really well with the weird overcast weather Denver almost never gets. I still remember the French dip being super satisfying in a way that made me immediately understand why people like this place. Add a Guinness and attentive staff and it just turned into a really solid afternoon. Feels very "modern Denver" without trying too hard.

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.

And the bruschetta are always sooo good, as well as the vast majority of the wine options! I can't say I've ever been disappointed. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable if you can describe to them what kind of wine you want and like. As for the bruschetta, like I mentioned, they are all good, even the ones that aren't my personal preferances they stiill aren't bad, but my absolute favorite is the artichoke. I usually get two of them because it is so creamy and delicious. I also like the salami a lot, probably my second, and the lox/salmon is good, too. PS, you can also recork your bottle if you aren't a pro wine drinker for the board & bottle special. It's truly a no-brainer for the price to go ahead and get that bottle and 4 slices for a mere $25. I've tried a few other things here, as well, I can't say anything bad! And the place is often packed so that says a lot.

I've visited each one around the Denver Metro area, and I love their level of consistency, but also staying unique. Recently, some friends and I stopped in for a happy hour drink and some small bites. The weather was warm so we sat out on the patio and once the sun, our waiter turned the heaters on to keep it comfortable. Everyone enjoyed their food and for the most part, the wine choices were on point as well. The one drawback I would say was our service was not the most attentive. Our server also did not know much about the wine choices, but having had very different experiences at other restaurants I think this may have been a one off situation.

We had the caviar with the potato chips and it was SO good... we're already talking about going back just for that. The pasta and drinks were delicious, my husband asked for a second drink (it was that good), and the kitchen surprised us with an asparagus dish that was super refreshing, tender but crunchy! Writing this is honestly making me crave the pâté again. The only thing I'd change is the bread was a little less toasted and not burnt. Overall, highly recommend. So delicious it is a definitely a spot we'll be back to soon.

We got the Cure farm spicy green salad - the vinaigrette was absolutely delicious. The dates added a nice sweet touch to the whole dish. Perfect start to the meal Rigatoni alla vodka - the sauce was terrific and the rigatoni was well-made The grilled bison (but vegetarian - with the trumpet mushrooms) - the sauce and spice rub on the mushrooms were good but the mushroom hadn't absorbed the flavors very well. Our drinks were the '23 Tyler pinot noir (recommended pairing with the third course) and the FIG-gure-it-out cocktail. Both were smooth and the cocktail was well-made. I was expecting it to be less sweet but it was delicious nevertheless. Our server was wonderful and was very accommodating of our dietary restrictions.

You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it. We shared the burger (honestly one of the best we've had), the panzanella salad, and deviled eggs - all impressive. Drinks were excellent - the mezcal negroni, stockyard pony, and house spritz. We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

We had a reservation for 5:00 and we got seated at a table on the patio. We luckily were early enough to make it in time for their happy hour menu which had some great choices on it. For our starters we had the curtido chopped salad, with grilled cabbage and beets 7.5/10. We also had the butter lettuce and tarragon which was very good 8/10. For our first appetizer we had the sea island red peas and cauliflower, very good, loved the cauliflower 8.3/10. We also had the burger and fries from the happy hour menu. The burger was cooked well, 8/10, a little too much sauce but homemade ketchup and homemade bun, it's hard to go wrong. If anything the patty was a little thin, but the fries were great and crispy 8.5/10. For our entrees we had the roasted half chicken 7/10. The sauce was just alright and the first piece of chicken was a little dry but the rest of the slices were very good. We also had the pork tenderloin tournedos, pretty straight forward, great prunes and potatoes 7.5/10, the sauce made the dish. Nothing caught our eye for dessert, however we were pretty full and there are a lot of great dessert options at Stanley Marketplace. We enjoyed our time here and will look forward to coming back in the future!

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot in Five Points.

After reading other reviews and checking out photos beforehand, I knew the Colorado lamb was a must-order. It's not something I usually go for, but it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Absolutely worth the hype. We also ordered the birria short rib and hickory smoked picanha, and both were solid choices. The shrimp and corn grits were amazing, and I really loved the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Other dishes like the chickpea croquettes and the chili relleno were also pretty good and rounded out the meal nicely. The wait staff was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe. The only minor downside was that the outdoor heaters were a bit too hot, but that's a very small nitpick. Overall, an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Great food, great service, and a place I'd happily come back to.

Good, burger joints at that, that closed. I don't expect this place to be here long. The drinks are slowwwwwwww. Not mixed drinks, an out of the bottle and pour drink. The decor is minimal and bare, there's nothing up on the walls, and feels like it hasn't been decorated all the way, as a result it's super loud because there's nothing to absorb sound. I couldn't hear my kid across the table. Our food came out after a lengthy wait, we did order after the kids, so we obviously didn't expect it to be ready at the same time, but it was quite lengthy on its own time table. My husband ordered a burger, and he doesn't like squishy bleedy burger meat. I eat steak rare and I don't eat burgers rare, it was too much for me. At first he did t want to say anything, and eat it because our food had taken soooo long. He did end up saying something, and of course the waitstaff felt terrible even though it wasn't their fault, and took the raw burger away. Next thing you know, some "chef" Amanda came out and boasted about herself to the table next to us. This chef boasted about prior places she's worked and yadda yadda, meanwhile the medium well burger my husband ordered was bleeding all over the place after he bit into it. Yeah? Fancy shmancy chef can't even cook a burger. You know who can cook a hamburger patty? My 11 year old. For real. Evidently the owner was there tonight. So, IDK. We will not be back. We will hang tight for the next place that takes over the space.
