I have spent a lot of time in Spain as I have family living there. I was excited about this restaurant/concept...after a long bike ride on the trail, sitting outside here and enjoying some tapas sounded like the best idea. The food just missed the mark on every dish in my opinion... the simple meat and cheeses which we low quality were most disappointing. I could go to a gourmet shop and put together a better jamon and manchego plate by just buying decent products- wish they had at least done that... The prepared dishes that we tried were equally disappointing... if they upgrade the items that they do not prepare in house, I would consider coming for simple tapas and cocktails on the patio. read more

Casual, fun & DELICIOUS! We had a wonderful time celebrating our grad at Ultreia. The waitress was amazing and had many suggestions for wine and small plates. We love the sharing nature of tapas and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The Moroccan ribs, artichoke and Romesco salad were particular faves. We dined on the patio - would absolutely go back! read more

Our party had a wonderful experience here! We had a big party of 13 and the manager and the staff were excellent! Food was excellent and the wine was great. never a lapse in food, wine or service. Super appreciative of them accommodating. We sat at the Terminal Bar and had drinks while we waited for our table. We definitely will be back ! read more

Amazing food!! The turcha curda is my favorite app. Perfect place for a girls night, Or to get a delicious bit and drink before a show or game. Love Ultreia!! read more

We had been yearning to visit Ultreia for a while and stopped in one night while galavanting around Denver sampling new places. Ultreia was a little bit of a disappointment. I am not sure if it was our specific selections or what the deal was but they rely way too heavily on the salt. We ordered the stuffed dates which, there is a reason most dates utilize blue cheese. The bleu cheese flavor cuts the sweetness of the date and plays well with the saltiness of the bacon, but here they use goat cheese and it did not mix well with the bacon wrapped date. Not a good feeling on the taste buds. We also had the tortillas de bacalao, which after further reading does state salt cod....I guess I should have paid attention to that description but still....it was like a salt lick with very little other flavor. On the plus side the service, ambience, and drinks are good but overall I think we simply expected more. Will we be back? Perhaps.....but we will definitely be more selective in our dish selections and will gladly accept the prompt water refills just in case. read more

Best Gin and Tonics. I've not had this great ones in a while. Food was good too. We tried chicken dish and something with Potatoes. Both were really good. But did I mention the great G+T. Old Vino was da best. read more

Food is good, however service in McDonald's is better than in this place. Waited for 30 minutes for a salad, 20 min for a GLASS OF WINE, 40 to 50 min for three small tapas. Unreal. After all of that they took $15 off our bill. Unacceptable. read more

This place was great!!! Ate at the bar on a Saturday in Summer. Beautiful marble bar, phenomenal bartender ( hint: they have 80 kinds of gin on the menu...trust him to make you a special cocktail) who recommended the dates, eggplant, pan con tomato( that is not the official name, but you get the idea), sea bass crudo, cedar plank mushrooms, croquettes.... perfect and delicious and fun and light and totally satisfying. We wanted to sit outside but ,after an insanely long travel day, did not want to wait. We Aways love sitting at the bar and this one was perfect. Oh, the bar tender recommended this BANANA LIQUOR---- it was amazing!!!! read more

Stopped for lunch at this unique Iberian restaurant, inside Union Station. Tapas, Pintxos and Petiscos from Spain, it's Basque region and Portugal. Delicious, reasonable and great service. A not to miss in Denver! read more

Disappointment on so many levels! My friend and I went on a Monday for happy hour. That was our mistake, as there is no happy hour. It was a holiday, so the restaurant was rather empty and we were seated immediately. That was nice, but things went downhill quickly. We each ordered a glass of cava. Mine, a rose, was corked. The server was apologetic and took it away. The cava glasses were cute, but the pour was tiny, maybe 3 ounces at the most. For $10-11, that seemed kinda ridiculous. We gave the food mixed reviews. The dates and the ribs were delicious, as were the stuffed peppers. Then we ordered the jamon selection. For $20, we got three slices total, and they were dried out and tough, not freshly sliced as they should be. We also ordered all the cheeses with the exception of the manchego. The portion size was adequate, but it wasn't served with bread/crackers or other accompaniments, just a couple cubes of quince paste. For the price, it seemed puny and poorly executed. Finally, I have to agree with the other reviewers about the ventilation problem. The restaurant smells heavily of fried food and it permeated our clothes by the end of our visit. My eyes were actually burning by the time we left. I put my clothes outside when I got home and considered washing my hair. Until this problem is remedied, I wouldn't recommend going - unless of course the patio is open. We were really looking forward to trying Ultreia, but it just doesn't measure up to Jennifer Jasinski's other restaurants. read more

Such a fine spot! The best Spanish-style Gin Tonics around, excellent meats & cheeses, great salads and specials. They are managing the COVID reopening hygeine rules effectively - we feel very safe eating there. Staff are outstanding, consistently. Ultreia feels like a getaway to an exotic foreign location. read more

This was our second time eating here and it did not disappoint. The food is extremely fresh and delicious. We had multiple dishes that my wife and I shared and all were amazing. The service was great as well, we showed up early for our reservation and they were very accommodating. Overall this is just a great place! read more

Spanish food that actually tastes Spanish is hard to come by, and this restaurant is the closests that I've found in Denver. Staff is great, very friendly helpful, and not too stuffy like some other restaurants. Croquettes are a must and their lemonade is deliciously fresh. read more

Our 3rd experience at Ultreia! Love it even more. I brought a ladies group for a luncheon & all were pleased. Our waiter was very helpful & attentive. If you are looking at a different twist on some fav food or something more unusual this restaurant will not disappoint. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

Fantastic experience. Adam Branz is a food genius. Excellent service, wide range of tapas dishes that thrilled our group. Well done!

This place has the freshest ingredients and delicious food. I would never of thought a restaurant inside of a train station could be so delicious. I highly recommend! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant since it opened! I love the food and the space! Unfortunately, my experience with the 3 separate staff members and their condescending attitude, in less than 10 minutes, has left me with no other choice but to get up and leave before being served. As a former restaurant owner this is a rare move on my part. I won't be back that is for sure! read more

Went for a girls night with friends. They had a anniversary tasting menu which we all decided to go for. Both food and service was just okay nothing special. Best part about the night was my martini and the company. read more

Good, pricey tapas served in a nice ambiance. The eggplant was really good. I would pass on dessert- we tried a couple (chocolate Olive oil cake and the churro), but they were just ok read more

I'm going to have to agree with Eliot on this one. My expectations were also very high, a tapas bar in Union Station with rave reviews and possibly long wait list. A small group decided to go early evening on a Sunday for no wait, and there wasn't. We sat upstairs and the decor is my style for sure. Comfy, stylish chairs, great colors, nice size tables for multiple plates. The wait staff was nice, but seemed a little overwhelmed and it took time later in the evening to get more wine and food. The stuffed dates and potatoes were two of my favorite dishes. They have a deal on Sundays and Mondays where you get a bottle of their house wine and a small cheese and meat plate for about $30. The wine was decent and the meat and cheese was a good addition to our other plates. The seafood salad was okay, the stuffed pepper was ok. We had about 8 plates for the 4 of us, and honestly, I was still hungry but no one else was. We then split 2 desserts, both really good! The prices for tapas was expected and with the wine deal and a few cocktails, it came out to under $50 a person. I would go again if someone wanted to share a bottle of wine with me, but none of the food really blew me away. I do prefer the tapas bar on Larimer St. in Five Points. read more

$3 tapas at happy hour can't be beat. The anti pasto with crushed tomatoes and warm bread for dipping was also great.

We just did not have a good experience from start to finish. We booked a reservation online, i ngot a call from the hostess to call back about our reservation. Ok, I call right back, a man answers and I tell him I was told to call, he checks, comes back to the phone and tells Us they are "setting up out table right now". Great. We get to the restaurant and the rude emo hostess with barely a greeting tells us that our reservation was a mistake and there is no table. I almost lost my mind. I told her I called right back, and she was like...are you sure you called the right number?? I called the number that left the message and spoke to a member of your staff after giving them my name. So dumb. So she talk to someone and seats us with an attitude, as if it were our fault. The tented table. Do not book. It is freezing cold. I booked indoor seating. Somehow we ended up outdoors in 20 degree weather, food cold. Red wine. Cold. Was just horrible. Once our $250 bill came we truly regretted this being our 1st night out after having a baby. read more

My girlfriend and I went here for a date night and we absolutely loved it! We got the "Chef's Feast" from the menu where they basically let you sample the entire the menu. It was so satisfying, we loved it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasteful restaurant in Denver area with a great selection of a variety of bights to eat. We'll probably be back read more

Absolutely delicious tapas and excellent wine list! The vibe here is awesome and the service is friendly! Will be back soon!

This place is beyond terrible. I made an order online from Yelp. It was for a veggie sandwich. When I showed up they had a green salad and told me that what I ordered wasn't on the menu. All I can suppose is that they aren't able to sync the GrubHub menu on Yelp with the real menu. The only vegetarian sandwich they could make was a grilled cheese which I said was fine as I was hungry and tired of arguing that I ordered off of their Yelp/GrubHub menu. When the sandwich came out it had ham on top which they apologized for and removed. It was literally half a grilled cheese and a scoop of salad with some cheese. I'm sure I made a face. The staff just looked at me and apologized for the fiasco. No offer to pay for the lunch or something, anything, to make it right. I took my lame lunch back to my desk $13 poorer and still hungry. Will definitely be spreading the word on this place. read more

I love tapas and have been to Spain, but this was a disappointing experience. - Expensive for what it is - Patatas Bravas = literally covered in tomato paste. No flavor there at all. There was also only 2 pieces of octopus. - Datillos Rellenos = meh. definitely had better - it needs an almond or maybe replace it with figs. you could also make a whole batch at home under 20 minutes for less! - Pimentos de Shishito = they need to learn to make shishito peppers. they were definitely overcooked. these peppers should have a nice crunch. - Chorizo Picanto = made for ants.. - Setas = probably my favorite dish, but I love mushrooms dearly -Estofavado de Polvo = needs more octopus. Typical stew, it also was missing a kick - Gin cocktails = delicious. Highly recommend going to this place for drinks only and avoiding the food altogether. Service was good, but slow - really appreciated the extra bread, but it came 20 minutes after we finished our meal... We sat in the upstairs, which is extremely smoky. My clothes still smell like the restaurant 2 weeks later. read more

Poor form. They had their wait list available on line. In the uber about 2 minutes from the spot and get a call telling us they are full and not accepting it. Not sure how that works for a place that doesn't take reservations. Fail. read more

Charming café in Union Station to snatch a few tapas and mixed drinks. We ate on the porch, which was adorable, and agreeable. We wound up getting a lot of various tapas for the table and parting it, so we could attempt bunches of alternatives. Our server was entirely knowledgable and had great suggestions and responded to the majority of our inquiries. We wound up requesting the majority of the homestead house specials which tasted new and were awesome. They likewise have hand crafted bread which was flavorful! read more

On a recent beautiful afternoon, my friend and I made our way to Union Station. We were on the hunt for a great happy hour and a nice patio. We hit the jackpot with Ultreia! We were there on a Monday which included a special deal for about $30. This included a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. I think it was a pretty good deal. The happy hour deals here are the real highlight. A glass of red, white, or rosé for $4. What?! They also have other little snacks for $3. From the main menu we tried the shrimp cake and the mushrooms. Both were interesting, but I think they were a bit overpriced at $8 and $9. The charcuterie board we got was ok. I thought it was a bit skimpy on the bread and would have liked something other than olives as I am not a fan. Another huge highlight was our server Michael. He is a gem. He answered all our questions about the menu and gave recommendations. He also was very knowledgeable about the wine and always checked on us regularly so we never had to pour our own wine. I would definitely return to Ultreia for the patio, the happy hour, and for the great service. read more

What a treat of a place! We had the pork ribs which fell off the bones and tasted delicious! The peppers complimented the flavor perfectly. We also got the toast bread with olive oil and tomato and that was great. The bread was toasted just right and the oil was so fresh it's as if they just pressed it! We also got the honey eggplant and it was a great contrast to the potatoes we ordered. The sweet honey also complimented the eggplant deliciously. Highly recommend this place! read more

Fun night. Great food and wine. Great server, he was extremely helpful and attentive. Had the mushrooms, beef, and the ribs. The ribs were off the hook! Nice seat outside. Breeze kept us cool. Again lots of fun. read more

Beautiful spot in Union Station. Amazing Gin and Tonics. Great Spanish inspired food.

We have only been for happy hour, but we are impressed enough to recommend this little gem in Union Station. They have a well priced happy hour featuring rotating chef's creations, as well as standard Portuguese tapas (acepipes) like 3 acorn ham, olives, sausage, etc. The space is small, but there is a comfy upstairs dining are as well as al fresco dining. The prices are good, and there is a good selection of Portuguese ( and other) wine, as well as beer and cocktails. read more

Ask for marret. Amazing service and food. Absolutely loved it! Portuguese tapas for the first time. Get the kamachi collar, potato octopus, pork ribs read more

This place I thought was pretty good! We got charcuterie, cheese and delicious cocktails. I loved the ambience of the place, can eat outside or inside. Server was very friendly, can't wait to go back! read more

Wow. This is absolutely an excellent place. The service is top notch. You can see the abundance off pride everyone has in the opportunity to work here. All of the staff was friendly and truly excited to share what they love about each item on the menu. This is the only Spanish restaurant in Denver that has this level of quality and is exactly what you would expect to enjoy on a vacation in Spain. The ambience is very warm and comforting. The second level they built, gives a vibe that is nothing else I've seen in Denver. I will be here many times! WELL DONE EVERYONE!! read more

Ultreia!! We were so impressed with this place. Conveniently located in Union station. Great gin bar. A nice and unique treat. We will be coming back! read more

I thought the other reviewer was crazy before I went here, but I left the restaurant smelling like I had worked a 12 hour shift behind a deep fryer. I had to get my winter coat dry cleaned and our whole party agreed our clothes smelled like grease at the end of the meal. Smelly clothing aside, the food was great! The trout and the mushrooms were the winners amongst our group, but we enjoyed almost all of the dishes we tried (the skirt steak was the only really lackluster dish). The cocktails weren't quite as good as the food. The service was attentive, but a little too casual for the environment. Would still definitely go back! read more

Jen has done it again! I love love LOVE Spanish tapas and Ultreia did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and prompt, the food was incredible - so many amazing flavors. My favorite dishes: tortilla de camarones (shrimp griddle cake with yummy aioli), patatas bravas (roasted potatoes with red sauce), chistora & datiles rellenos & gildas (bite-sized skewers of chorizo, onion, crouton & romesco stuffed dates & olive, anchovy, Basque chile). The vibe and ambiance with beautiful oil on canvas paintings on the walls and ceilings make the room feel spacious and light. The best part is always Jen stopping by to say hi. She's the best. read more

Stumbled upon this new restaurant in Union Station; hope for many more "stumbles" like this in the future. Had a wonderful lunch of authentic tapas/Spanish delights. I had a pulled pork hash that was simply sensational. Truly flavorful, fresh and tasty. The service was attentive and engaging. If you haven't found your way here yet (just opened 3 weeks ago) get there. I promise you will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy. read more
