• Comfort Food • Highlands

Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul. Even its name pays homage to its South Broadway sibling restaurant The Hornet, while tipping a cap to its storied Italian predecessor Patsy’s. The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

Fox and The Hen is inspired by a love of all things breakfast aka #MorningStuff. Here, we believe all the best things happen in the morning: sunrises, coffee drinks, small breakfast burritos tucked in large breakfast burritos and walks of shame. Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept. Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.

    We love Acova. We always have an enjoyable dinner every time we go there! The staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are the best. The atmosphere is enjoyable. This was the first time we were seated on the bar side. While it wasn’t as wonderful as the dining room side, we still enjoyed ourselves and our dinner and have no complaints!

    Went to Yard bird for Valentine’s Day. Started with the Deviled eggs, they had two kinds so got both. These deviled eggs were mind blowing good. I had a dream about this meal that night it was that good. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits, short ribs, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. They might have been the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve tried places all over Denver and would consider myself a good judge of food. This is hands down the best food I’ve ever had in Denver and that’s saying a lot. All the food was so good I’m leaving a review and I never leave reviews. It’s pricey but absolutely worth it. You could easily spend more money in Denver and not get this quality. Thank you yardbird for making my evening.

The lamb pasta put me straight to sleep soon as we arrived home.. a young lady came to check on us towards the end and held the door for us on our way out which really was the cherry on top. Thanks again! We look forward to visiting y'all again!

    We allowed the chef to take us through a variety of dishes. The experience wasn’t cheap but definitely worth it. Every dish was on point and we had a great time.
