The Philly is mostly bread. Not worth $12. Not even close
Dakota E.

I'd stick to a traditional breakfast here. I tried a sandwich today. After calling in a Reuben, the restaurant called back to tell me they took it off the menu. I opted for the Philly and it was very small with not much between the bread. I let them know and the staff made sure that I was taken care of when I came back, which is really appreciated.

Biscuits and gravy
Amanda R.

My husband and I left this restaurant shocked. Here is why...first, we were looking for a new diner that would be a hole in the wall and has both Mexican and American options. We can both confidently say that this restaurant had both. Service was so-so, the place was in dire need to cleaning...new carpets...new chairs and tables...just was very old and dirty. You could see the marks on the floor like a black trail of where people walk. Sorry, but this is pretty gross. When we got to the point where we paid our bill, the price seemed right. I got my card out and on the counter...was a live...crawling....cockroach. I have not returned.

Parkway Cafe is your typical small town diner. I dropped by on a Sunday morning with a small group of people. They have limited vegetarian breakfast options. In fact, the only items on the menu I found I could eat was an omelet and pancakes or French toast. I ordered the number 3 omelet with French toast and a biscuit on the side. None of my food had any seasoning and the biscuit was under baked. The people I was with enjoyed their food more than I. As a vegetarian, my experience was underwhelming. This cafe may not be the best option for people with dietary restrictions but I'm sure all others might enjoy.

Lot's of good food at a reasonable price with good service. I had the # 2 omelet which comes smothered in green chili with hash browns and toast. The omelet was good and although they are not affiliated to the Parkway café in Boulder the green chili tasted the same. The hash browns were not browned but this is a lost art I guess judging by my recent experiences at lots of restaurants. I would repeat the experience,

Club sandwich

So I've been in the north area for years and I've always seen this little cafe but have never ventured in. So I decided to surprise my wife with some place new. It's located in a strip mall running parallel to 92nd ave, facing the North. This place is nothing fancy but it is very comfortable and lots of seating. There is a full menu and you can pretty much order whatever you want off the menu. We asked for suggestions and the waitress said pretty much everything was delicious. The server wad very friendly and very attentive. Even the other waitress checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything. I did go to the bathroom and when I walked by the kitchen it was nice to see the griddle in action full of bacon and sausage. Our plates were plentiful and filling. We will definitely be back. If your looking for something new, but old give ol' Parkway cafe a try !! Would definitely recommend !!!

Huevos Garcia
Carlette E. R.

The huevos Garcia is my favorite! I'm going to try the chili rellenos next time. There are a select items you can order and a half order for those that prefer s smaller meal. The kids breakfast was surprisingly big! The coffee is excellent... the service is fast and friendly... a post definite recommend!

The Wednesday dinner crowd

5 Stars because for a Greasy Spoon, this is the Apogee. I would reccomend experiencing it for yourself. True short-order cooking. Do breakfast of lunch, they're the best times. As for what to eat, get a Burrito or a Burger. These are just the Best, everything is good.

Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

I had already been impressed by the Death & Co in NYC, so I knew I had to try their branch in…read moreDenver. I was not disappointed. A moody, velvet filled space with a comfortable bar. Laid back vibe and welcoming staff. Nothing pretentious at all. The bartenders were knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. Always stayed on top of my drinks. The thing I like most about Death & Co is the way the categorize their drinks: Light and playful, bright and confident, elegant and timeless, boozy and honest, and rich and comforting. I had the aqua profunda (cognac, St. George basil eau di vie, lillet rose, strawberry, lime, and absinthe). I also had the eight limb daiquiri (rum, Canada aguardiente, Thai tea cordial, lime leaf, and Maraschino). The Blood Oath (mezcal, Vecchio del capo, Calabrian chili amaro, St. Germain Elderflower, lavender, honey, lemon). All were complex and delicious. You could pick out every flavor, yet everything melded together so well. They also have some basic bar food and snacks, but somewhat elevated. I had the D&C Burger and it was juicy, rich, and had some great accompanying fries. I usually try to give a more in depth idea of cocktails available, but Death & Co has such a diverse menu with so many amazing craft cocktails that I can't offer that this time . . . you'll have to go in and see it for yourself!

I love the LA Death & Co location so had to check this location out while on a quick trip in…read moreDenver. The drinks blew us all away as always. My go to is the Disco Tiger which I was very happy to find out they had at this location too! Our server was extremely knowledgeable about every single cocktail on the menu and gave us great recommendations. I give this location a 4 star rating because the food didn't live up to standard of their drinks. The steak tartare and oysters were good. The fried chicken was not as good as the one I've had in LA, not even close. The spinach artichoke dip was dry and flavorless.
