Posted September 2, 2018 Looking for the best places to have a good time and eat… Does anybody have any suggestions for Colorado Springs and Denver? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2018 My new favorite fancy shmancy place in Denver is guard and grace. The ambiance, food and service are to die for. Makes for a great date. I don’t have any suggestions for the springs. Don’t make it down very often. Boys if you haven’t taken your favorite SW to guard and grace you should! She’ll thank you and you’ll thank me later ive been itching to try the flagstaff house in boulder. But it just seems so faarrrrrr. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl's Pizza in north Denver. Italian food. It's not at all fancy, but I've always thought they had great food. I've been eating there for more than 40 years. http://carlspizza.yolasite.com/ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2018 In the Springs, pretty much every restaurant in Old Colorado City. Add "Crazy Brothers" on Centennial and GoG for breakfast, when you order bacon, you definitely know you're getting bacon! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, its very fancy and the ambiance is nice however the food is WAY WAY over priced and really just ok...i certainly wouldnt say that it's to die for. I dont mind an expensive meal if the taste and flavors are there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 3, 2018 I was just introduced to YaYa's Euto Bistro off of Belleview. Incredible food, atmosphere, and the servers are well versed in the food and drinks. Very impressed! Xoxo, Samantha Sheppard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 3, 2018 I think it is hard to beat the Osteria Marco, on Larimer Square (actually beneath Larimer Square) for the right combination of quality food, good wine list, atmosphere and price. It's really my favorite restaurant in Denver. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Depends on what you are wanting to eat, your budget, and what area of Denver you wish to discover. But here are a few that are amazing. Uncle - its in the Highlands and is great, there spicy chicken ramen is fantastic. The only downside is that they do not open til' 5pm. Also if you want to eat at 6pm you need to be there around 5pm because to have a seat you will have to wait a bit but well worth it. Best Sushi restaurant is Matsuhisa in Cherry Creek it is pricy dinner for 2 with drinks is about 200+ but so worth it. For breakfast you have to try Hashtag in aurora/stapleton. They are only open til 2pm but is way better than snooze and the wait is not as bad either. Denver Biscuit Company is also amazing. Especially there strawberry shortcake biscuit. Also SteakBar in the Highlands has amazing flavor and tenderness when it comes to a well prepared steak. Jack and Grill on Federal has amazing burgers. Hope this helps. Also great place and amazing theme is the "speak easy" style of William & Graham you walk thru a bookcase secret door to get to the bar. The vibe is cool for sure.

Posted September 3, 2018 Guard and Grace is awesome have you eaten at North? There food is good to but you should try Linger in the Highlands. I found out why they named it Linger when I inquired about there glasses which look to hold chemical solvents and they said the restaurant use to be a funeral home so the glasses went with the prior owners theme. There food is great though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) linger's took over a mortuary buliding with a huge neon sign "Olinger's". The new owners turned off the "O" thus "linger's". The social table in the upstairs inside bar are the roller tables they used to move caskets around. Pretty cool. Only been dead drunk there once. Try El Five next door. Same onwers with a great view and Mediterranean menu. Beyond cool Edited September 4, 2018 by Hoodwink1 Spelling 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll also note the Original Chubby's mexican restaurant, on west 38th. It ain't fancy, but the food is excellent! https://www.facebook.com/originalchubbys1/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love tamales, but the time required is why I have never made them myself. I’ll drive the 20-30 minutes to north Denver and get my tamale fix from La Casita. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They come out really good tho. I do a lot of culinary things once (including tamales), just to prove I can. But at $10/dozen, I can't possibly compete with La Casita for basic red or green tamales.
