First, the happy hour oyster deal is quiet amazing. On the surface, it might seem expensive, but you get to pick any east or west coast oyster on their menu. The oysters are incredibly fresh and well-shucked, an di cannot recommend getting oysters here. The other items on the happy hour menu are also delicious, and the French dip is one of my favorite here in Denver. The steaks are also well cooked here, and the various sauce options are delicious. The Thai chile, chimmichuri, and bordelaise are must try! The sides are also great. Finally, service is quiet impeccable here. The wait staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. Overall, cannot recommend A5 enough, especially for a special date night.

Walking through the doors of Tavernetta twice in one day isn't excessive; it's a logical response…read moreto exceptional execution. Service near Union Station is a masterclass in attentiveness--sharp, deeply knowledgeable, and warm without pretense. Whether dining at midday or evening, the kitchen doesn't miss. Handcrafted pasta is cooked with absolute precision, and every plate from antipasti to secondi demonstrates rigorous culinary discipline. Backed by a solid, thoughtfully curated wine list spanning classic regions and smaller producers, Tavernetta earns every bit of its reputation. If you go for lunch, plan on staying for dinner.

Tavernetta seems to be one of the more popular restaurants in Denver, and reservations were…read moresurprisingly difficult to find even 3-4 days ahead. I was eventually able to snag an 8 PM reservation on Sunday, which was a little late for us considering we had a very early flight the next morning. We came here Sunday evening after I finished the Boulderthon Half Marathon -- my second year running it. This time I was visiting Colorado with family who were here for the first time. Parking was actually much easier than expected. Since it was Sunday, we found free street parking around the corner, only about a three-minute walk away. One thing to know: Tavernetta's entrance is tucked around the corner rather than directly facing the street. You have to walk down what feels almost like a little corridor or alleyway to reach it -- see the photo. I was only able to reserve seating on the covered outdoor patio. Tavernetta definitely has a fine-dining feel, and the prices reflect that, but I wanted to see what all the hype was about since I'd never been before. For starters, we ordered the focaccia with ricotta and BC honey, which was an additional $4. The bread was very good, and I especially liked it with the ricotta and honey. It was flavorful without feeling too heavy. For the salad, we shared the Melone e Cetrioli for $18, with cucumber, watermelon, arugula, goat cheese, and black garlic vinaigrette. I chose it because the watermelon and cucumber sounded refreshing, and the goat cheese seemed lighter than some of the richer options on the menu. That turned out to be a good call. The arugula worked nicely with everything, and overall it was fresh, light, and not overly filling. For my main, I ordered the Rigatoni for $34 with lamb ragù and Pecorino Romano. I'd never had a lamb ragù before -- usually I've had beef -- so it was something different. There was more pasta than meat, but the lamb flavor still came through. I'd probably give the dish itself around a 7.5/10. Good and interesting, but not something that completely blew me away. Others at the table ordered the Tagliatelle for $38 with Maine lobster, Calabrian chili, preserved tomato, and celery. I tried some, and that one was excellent. It had a little heat, plenty of tomato and vegetable flavor, and the lobster worked really well with it. It was slightly creamy too. On second thought, I actually liked that dish more than my own -- probably around a 9/10. Service throughout the meal was very good, and I liked the little details too, including the very thin glassware they used for water. The whole experience definitely felt more polished and upscale. Overall, Tavernetta was expensive, but it felt like a genuine fine-dining experience. My own entrée wasn't spectacular enough for me to call the entire meal perfect, but several other parts of the meal were excellent, especially the focaccia and tagliatelle. It also made for a pretty satisfying post-race dinner after Boulderthon, when my legs were definitely feeling the miles. I'd gladly come back if I'm in Denver again -- and next time I might just order the tagliatelle myself. Last visited: September 27, 2026

Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

Honestly, I had low expectations. And yes, you are going to eat bull balls here. That is part of the deal. Fortunately, my low expectations were exceeded considerably. The Rocky Mountain Oysters (the bull balls) basically taste like batter. I would say their consistency and taste are most similar to calamari. A half order is plenty. The horseradish which accompanied the dish was milder than mayonnaise but still tasted nice and it was definitely better than the ketchupy stuff that also came with the plate. The buffalo prime rib was tender and not gamey at all. The (beef) steak was nice. They also offer other game animals like elk and quail. Our server was wonderful. She gave excellent recommendations. You can't discuss this restaurant without mentioning all the stuffed animals everywhere and the zillion animal heads mounted on the walls. It takes a little getting used to. The bar upstairs is very cool and is worth a visit but you want to dine downstairs for the best ambience. The food is good but not amazing. Call me a dumb tourist but this is a unique, fun place.

Very, very cool. We started with Rocky mountain oysters because we were feeling spicy. They were fine - you can fry anything and make it palatable. Overall, food was yummy but holy cow, was it expensive!! Definitely don't come here if on a cheaper budget. I did enjoy the interesting selection of meats and it was all cooked perfectly. The sides weren't mind-blowing (for that price I expect to be wow'd) and if you're a vegetarian, you're options are very limited. I had the cheesecake for dessert and it fell short of the mark, sadly. Large cocktail selection and their old fashioned was well made (again, high price tag). Service was friendly and plenty of staff happy to give a little history lesson. I would perhaps return to bring someone very into meat and history, but outside of that would pass.

Old school vibe steakhouse on Colfax. This was my first time…read moreso I wanted to try the Sugar Rub. As the server described, it gives the meat a smoky, caramelized flavor without being too sweet. It was OK, but I would not do that to a piece of meat again. I had the grilled Caesar salad which was delightful and the baked potato which was great. Definitely a small space which gets loud and difficult to have a conversation. As such, would not recommend for a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd date. Parking lot attached but somewhat tight and fills quickly.

We had some pretty yummy martinis. Food: Old school steakhouse vibe where you get to pick a soup/salad and a side of potatoes which I loved. I got the french onion soup - yummy, and the specialty mashed potato which was a jalepeno one that day. It also came with a side of veggies. They are known for their sugar steak so we obviously had to get that on a New York Strip. Overall, it was all pretty solid - the sugar rub was a nice touch. Just sweet enough for some crystallization without being too overpowering. The steak itself just didn't blow me away. I wanted it to be a little more juicy, tender, and a bit more flavorful. Would I come back: Overall a fun experience. It's not a place I'm dying to go back to but if someone wanted to go - I wouldn't say no.

Great dinner at Toro Latin Kitchen with a large group, and everyone left happy…read more We started with the sweet corn empanadas, the clear highlight of the apps, sweet, warm, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Beef tartare was close behind, finely diced and well-seasoned. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, the prawns had a nice char, and the Amarillo ceviche brought a bright, citrusy heat from the aji amarillo peppers that balanced beautifully against the cool, tender fish. But the real highlight of the night was the steaks. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly, well-charred outside and tender inside, paired with the potatoes three ways, crispy, creamy, and roasted, each with its own texture and seasoning. Even better was the tomahawk ribeye, flambéed tableside in mezcal, a great bit of theater with a smoky, slightly sweet flame that infused the meat. I got lucky enough to try a bite. Rich, buttery, and delicious with heavy rosemary. A real treat. Service was a bit spotty for our group. I won't go into details, but our server disappeared for long stretches and it took a long time to finally get our entrees. This was likely because of our specific server.

We started with the wedge salad chopped up, blue cheese on the side. Kind of a plain salad, nothing wrong with it 5/10. They also brought out complimentary bread which was alright, 5.5/10. You can make sure you skip the Wagyu sliders, 2 tiny burgers, two bites each, stale bread 3/10. We also tried the cheesesteak egg rolls, which were fine, but did not stand out 6/10. For entrees I had the 28oz porter house which was exceptional 8.5/10. My girlfriend had the fish and chips, which was also something you can miss. One midsize tasteless piece of fish with under seasoned batter 4/10. The fries may have been the only good part of her meal 5.5/10. We had the mushroom pot pie, another miss, stale puff pastry and a mildly salty tasteless filling 3.5/10. The add on $12 sauces were a miss, .50 worth of onions for $10. All the little things add up and with a piece of cheesecake it was $430 with tip. I have been out to a lot of spots in Denver, this is not so where I will be back at any time soon.
