Best Casual Restaurants in Denver

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

We came here for an anniversary dinner and Jacks did not disappoint. The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful and the restaurant itself was cozy and not incredibly packed. The sourdough starter was fllavorful, steak literally melted in my mouth, and the cookie for dessert was a perfect sweet ending. We couldn’t have found a better gem!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant, and I have to say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, Randy and the entire team made me feel like a VIP. As a solo diner in town for a conference, I truly appreciated the attentiveness and care that was given to me throughout my meal. The food was absolutely incredible. The escargot was rich and buttery, cooked to perfection, and every bite was a delightful treat. The foie gras was beautifully paired with pistachio and a luscious reduction sauce that elevated its flavor to new heights. The mussels were another highlight—tender, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, each bite was a taste of the sea. To end the meal, the crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had. It had the ideal balance of creamy custard and crisp, caramelized top. Every element of the meal was perfectly executed, and I truly couldn’t have asked for more. A special shout-out to Randy, who took amazing care of me. Her professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch, and she made sure I had everything I needed without even having to ask. Her mise en place was impeccable, and she made the experience feel effortless. I’m so grateful for the care and hospitality she provided. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding food and service!

HIDDEN GEM! I stumbled across ads and recommendations while searching for a new local sushi place to try. Very reasonable price point and EXCEPTIONAL quality. After the first course, we started planning a repeat visit for an upcoming Omakase (chef’s choice) dinner, which they offer ~ monthly. The owner Jesse even stopped by to chat when she learned it was our 1st visit. Bonus: Basic hot sake is very affordable too!

The pasta rivaled Restaurant Olivia which is Michelin starred. Our waiter Kevin was amazing! Don’t hesitate to go.
