Best Seasonal Restaurants in River North (Denver)

My sister and I went for a late dinner. This place was gorgeous! Great ambiance, lovely, knowledgeable waitress and great drinks! The food was good too! The only thing I would say is we ordered steak medium well and it came out a bit undercooked. We were so hungry that we went ahead with most of it except for the centerpieces that were just too undercooked for us to eat. When our waitress came over to check on us, we told her about it… She assured us that it could be cooked longer, but since we only had a few pieces left, we did not take the offer. However, we did order dessert and she ended up comping us the dessert to our surprise! Overall, this was a very good experience and a beautiful place! Although it was too cold to sit out on the rooftop patio… they encouraged us to walk out and take a tour… It was breathtaking! Make your reservation ☺️

Wonderful food and beautiful space. We had very good oysters, a 4 oz regular wagyu filet (cooked perfectly), carrots and au gratin potatoes, as well as a few wines. We also had 4 oz of the A5 wagyu, which is so decadent that I would recommend just adding 2 oz to a lighter meal, rather than loading up on it as an entree like we did. Sides are sharareable sizes, so the prices on those are very fair. Things were out fairly quickly as well. Staff were genuinely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, including wine; I love a restaurant where the core wine menu has been pared down enough that you can trust anything off it will be good, and that was the case here. If you're hard of hearing, you might struggle with conversation; not only is it a little noisy for a restaurant of that caliber, the 2-tops are oddly long, making it difficult to have a conversation at a normal volume. Otherwise, very good experience and will probably be back at some point during another visit to Denver.

Quality: It was a truly wonderful experience…. - The Good: Many dishes stood out for flavor, but the waygu dish was insane. Absolutely amazing. Other stand outs were the bison tart and squab dishes. I’m drooling just thinking of them - The OK: There was a small portion of one dish where I thought the cream over-powered the savory… However, my wife loved it… so that may just a preference issue. Also, I found the dessert a bit underwhelming… but wanted to share my surprise at how good I thought their ‘bread’ course was. Who serves ‘bread’ as a full course at a tasting like this? I was happily surprised at how good it actually was. - OVERALL: CERTAINLY worth it’s star for its quality!! Value: The OK: Having recently visited Alinea, I realized my experience at that 3 Michelin star restaurant had 10-14 courses and was not far off in price for 3 stars to WT’s 1 star 8 course menu. I don’t mind the occasional splurge, but in comparison…:/ Service: Outstanding! - The Good: As for the servers themselves… nothing short of outstanding. Great explanations on each dish and always more than happy to answer any questions we had. Our main guy (and a few others) had a great sense of humor - which is what we hope for when we go out. - The OK: Only one thought. They asked if we wanted the upcharge to waygu for a particular dish and we said “yes to one of us so that we could both try the difference”. They were VERY good with my wife’s GF requirement, but when they came back with one dish waygu, the other bison… only the bison was GF. They asked if they wanted us to re-cook the waygu (in fairness) which we said no (we grew up never sending food back unless egregious issues)… but something I hope they pay attention to at this price range and Michelin rating. Regardless, both versions were amazing. OVERALL: An amazing Michelin star experience, this is certainly worth the experience. I can’t wait to try out the remaining Denver area options

The food was amazing and Claire was great with her recommendations. We had lunch and the portion was spot on. Highly recommended!!

Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.
