Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Golden

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Stellar Jay, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The wonderful accommodations, coupled with exceptional service, made my stay truly memorable. Will definitely plan on coming back soon.

Everything one would expect. Clean, sparse minimalism in the best sense of the words. A couple courses missed with me but I appreciate they took the chance and I was better for trying them. Perfect service. The English language fails sometimes and I don't speak French and my Spanish isn't good enough to use the transcendent "ser." You get it.

Can’t say enough about this spot! Took my bestie here for her birthday and we had an absolute blast. The staff took such great care of us and the food was incredible. We both have a pretty bad habit of going out to eat and making friends with absolutely everyone in the restaurant. By the end of the night, it felt like we had done just that. Everyone - our server, bartender, hostess and the kitchen staff that we were lucky enough to meet made this a truly special evening. For me, that counts for everything and I’d eat hot garbage off of the floor just to experiences the vibes that these besties provided again!

Everything was fantastic! We were there to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We got the drink pairing with the food and the lovely staff was very informative and excited to tell us about every dish and drink. The food itself was incredible with such thought and care going into every single dish.

Footprints was quiet without a lot of traffic. The food was very good the ambiance was excellent. The gallery of the fossil trace remains is a high point. The fries served with "Fish and Chips" need a little work and should be reformatted to English Tavern style with larger chips and a smaller total serving size.
