These are the places I always take friends visiting from out of town, and have been to time and time and time again. They also feature excellent vegetarian options!
Incredible tasting menu (veggie one is life-changing), top-notch service, and wondrous ambiance. This is one of the places I always take guests, and they are never disappointed.

My friend from NYC said these were the best tapas he's ever had. Classy place for happy hour, or a full meal. We've enjoyed the full tasting menu a few times, and had no regrets. Fresh bread and drinks aplenty ensure no one will leave without being satisfied. Incredible vegetarian options as well.

Local favorite boasts friendly service, and THE best sandwiches in the city. The gluten-free bread is wildly delicious, and comes from a local bakery in Aurora. Don't forget to get some chips from the Denver Chip Company on the side! There are two locations.
