Best Tapas Restaurants in River North (Denver)

I made reservations ahead of time and asked the staff for help to make this a special Valentine’s Day celebration and they did not disappoint. They went above and beyond to make the night special. On top of that the drinks and food were unique, delicious, and very creative! The atmosphere for this amazing skyline cocktail bar was incredible! It was lively yet beautiful and calming at the same time!

We enjoy Izakaya Den and understand that it has complex menu choices, which we consider a feature (not a bug). However, our waiter managed to make the menu more confusing rather than easier to navigate. We couldn't tell whether he was trying to "sell" us on items, provide information, or just hear himself talk! He got very far afield on the preparation of Tuna Collar and then discovered that he was describing a totally different dish. He also laid-on a thick layer of jargon, i.e "flavor profiles", etc. instead of speaking with clarity. The experience at Izakaya Den is already very good and didn't need to be embellished with BS. Fortunately, since one in our party has serious allium (onion/garlic) and gluten sensitivities, the order was placed correctly. We'll definitely will return again, and just hope we don't get the same waiter! Yeesh!

Service and food were great! Hats off to Seth, our server, who did a wonderful job taking care of us on my birthday

Food and service are always fantastic, but it’s too loud to have any kind of conversation.

Meredith was amazing. She spent time explaining each of the wines and how they’re made. We had a great evening, drinking wine and chatting all night. It was very quiet for a Wednesday, but it made the environment very peaceful.
