Best Authentic Restaurants in University Hills

The waiters are very knowledgeable, friendly, and remarkably unrushed and available to explain the menu and offer suggestions.

We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.

801 Chophouse is to be experienced as an event! The service was impeccable (especially our waiter Glen), the food expertly prepared and the ambiance was relaxing. We started with the steamed mussels, which was a very generous portion in a garlic butter bath. Next, we had the wedge salad and the tomato onion salad which were both delicious. Our main courses included the prime rib and the petite filet. Again, both prepared to perfection. Sides included the asparagus and Maytag potatoes, which were sharables. Finally, we had the souffle for dessert. It was light, but flavorful. We will visit again for a special occasion. The prices are high - the meal described along with a couple of cocktails ran nearly $400. I recommend taking a look at the menu before you go so you won't be surprised. Definitely worth it for an anniversary or birthday. Beware some people bring their small children. You may get seated next to a family. Otherwise, worth a try!

The food was amazing, and Kim (and everyone who came to help us) was very knowledgeable, courteous, and just overall awesome. 

Pasta Mondays are the best idea! We made a reservation about a month and a half in advance. Definitely worth it as I overheard there was a 2 hour wait at 7:00pm. Food was delicious, service was great. Will be back.
