Best Historic Restaurants in Wheat Ridge

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!

We celebrated a belated Valentine’s Day at Buckhorn Exchange and had an excellent experience! We started with a dirty martini and Buckhorn Old Fashioned to go with the sirloin game tips that came in a delicious mushroom gravy. We each ordered buffalo, a tenderloin steak and blackened prime rib which was the real star of the evening and maybe one of the best steaks we’ve had in recent memory! Prime rib is typically extra fatty, but bison meat is super lean so the prime rib was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. We will absolutely be back for that menu item! Finished the meal with a slice of turtle cheesecake and a lap around the saloon to take in the incredible collection displayed on both floors.

The best pizza I’ve gotten in years! Everything else was also amazing, everyone was super nice and the place is super nice too!

Ocean Prime delivered an exceptional dining experience for Valentine’s Day. The food was nothing short of outstanding, with every dish crafted to perfection. Our server was not only attentive but also had impeccable recommendations, ensuring we got the best of both the menu and the night’s drink specials. While the restaurant was busier than expected, and the noise level was a bit higher than ideal, it didn’t overshadow the quality of the meal or the overall experience. If I had to rate it, I’d confidently give Ocean Prime a 4.7 out of 5—an excellent choice for a special occasion or an upscale night out.

Lovely food. Was packed on a Monday night. It all looks like a rather regular Italian place, until... you start eating the food. Somehow they have infused some Indian flavors into the Italian cuisine, making for a fantastic unique dining experience. Service was great, ambience the same.
