Although pricy, I decided to splurge, as I wanted to have a quiet, relaxing dinner, and what better way to end a vacation with a couple glasses of wine? While I was disappointed with the steak sandwich, I did have a quiet, relaxing dinner, and the server was friendly. A great way to end my trip to Nashville. [Yelp collections: Nashville, TN 2026]

The time flew by quickly as it was soon time for us to board between ordering cocktails and food. The views of the planes taxing to the gate was soothing as I enjoyed an espresso martini with my bacon burger. The floor to ceiling windows help bring in the natural light as you dine on your meal. There are outlets if you need to plug in your computer or phone. I savored the onion rings that had an excellent batter and fried to perfection, while the burger was on point.

While staying at the Gaylord Rockies resort for a conference I recently attended, I enjoyed…read moreterrific cocktails at the Embers Lodge Bar, the main bar near most of the restaurants. Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.

This is definitely where you want to be at sunset. The floor-to-ceiling wall of windows creates a stunning backdrop for Embers Lodge and elevates the entire atmosphere. We stopped in for drinks several times during our weeklong stay at the Gaylord Resort, and each visit was just as enjoyable as the last. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone staying at or visiting the resort.

We ordered the truffle fries, wings, bison meat loaf, and the braised short rib. Our group had 0 complaints about the food. Everything arrived hot and fresh, super flavorful. Sadly I missed taking pics of the mains because we dived in too fast! Ansari and Anthony were attentive as well. They checked in the appropriate amount of times and were great to chat with.

I had a very disappointing experience because of the host. I was initially offered a seat on a…read morecouch that was directly next to another party, and I politely said I would rather wait for a table instead. A few minutes later, I watched him seat two parties who had arrived after me. I then spoke with another hostess and told her I was happy to sit anywhere except the couch. She even said she didn't know why I had been skipped. She went to ask the host, and when she came back she confirmed that he had intentionally skipped me. I also overheard him make an inappropriate comment after she questioned him about it. While I couldn't hear every word, it was obvious from the interaction that he had deliberately passed me over because I declined the original seating option. There is a huge difference between politely declining one specific seat and giving up your place in line. The host's attitude was rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. The other hostess handled the situation professionally and was kind, but this host's behavior left an incredibly poor impression. I hope management addresses how guests are treated, because no customer should be spoken about or treated that way. To add to this- I absolutely love the food here, however this is not appropriate customer service

The capital one lounge in the Denver airport is in a great location in concourse/terminal A. If…read moreyou're flight is leaving from terminal B or C you can still stop by this lounge before your flight since you enter terminal A after passing through security and have the train shuttle downstairs that will get you to the other terminals pretty quick. The lounge has pretty good food options and a nice bar full service bar. The seating area has a view of the tarmac and of the gate areas in terminal A. During peak times the lounge can get pretty packed so if you're a Venture X card holder you can add your name to the waitlist on the capital one app to save some time.

Oh no, where did my series of reviews go for this lounge?? I've been a VentureX customer since they…read moreannounced the lounge, waited a long time for it to not open and not open and not open, finally got in within the first week, loved it for a bit, and it's just gone downhill ever since. They created a "premium" lounge and then have spent the past year eliminating as many of their customers as they can. Wut? I have visited the Denver Cap1 lounge over 30 times. I travel a lot, often for business, and often early. I've been the first person in the door more times than I can count. In 2026, Cap1 has refused me entry more times than it's let me in, and I'm done with them. I got the card for this lounge and now I'm leaving CapitalOne entirely. Back when it was decent/they still allowed guests to enter with card members (that's over now, it's like $65 or something for your partner/secondary card holder to get in!), there were still a lot of issues that have only gotten worse over time. The plumbing was bad from the start. Toilets would back up and fail to flush and I repeatedly had employees tell me that happens all the time. They have huge chairs that sit 4 around a table that could otherwise fit 8. Layout of the lounge isn't conducive to solo travelers - more space should have been allocated for business travel, but instead they prioritized family type seating... and then they banned families. Most recently they have refused me service repeatedly. It's busy on a wait and I have a flight, can I just take food to go? No. I have a redeye well after they're closed for the day, can I come in at 8 or 8:30 and get food/bev and to go food? No, my flight has to be "during the same business day". It boards at 11:09pm, but apparently the business day ends at 9pm for Cap1. Nicely played! They lost my sister when they banned families and have now lost me as a customer for life. They don't want our business anymore so I'm happy to oblige, close the card I opened for access to this lounge, and go spend my premium card dollars elsewhere. After they denied me entry ahead of my redeye (the lounge was at best 1/4 full, there was no practical reason for them to deny me entry) I walked out and canceled my card. They keep telling me to F off so I finally heard them - I'm outie, y'all! BYEEEEE FELICIA!

His attention to detail and the way he interacts with the patrons coming in and out of the airport is pretty impressive. He checked in several times with everyone and ran a super clean and friendly environment. I had a couple mezcal paper planes that were extremely well crafted and we struck up a pretty great conversation about Mexico and tequila. The food here is TOP notch, which I was surprised by. They make a ton of stuff in house that was very refreshing for an airport joint. He was saying the Chicken salad Sandwich was really great. Can't wait to come back and give it a try. Thanks Jim!
