- JJamieVIPDenver / Colorado •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoUkiyo was an amazing experience! We have traveled all over the world and have been so lucky to have tried many Omakase menus. Ukiyo was, by far, the best. Chef Paul and Chef Kelby were so gracious and Jeremiah and Vanessa topped off the experience with their kindness and knowledge. This is a must-experience Chef’s Table in Denver!More infoUkiyoPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese Speciality• Whittier•4.8

- JJoeDenver / Colorado •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoEveryone we interacted with, host, bartender, and servers were amazing. As was the food. We were celebrating my oldest son’s 21st birthday and you made it very special for him. Joking about his temporary license, complimentary champagne and Tiramisu, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you. We will be back soon.More infoPanzanoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.6
- JJenDenver / Colorado •2 reviews5.0Dined on 26 Dec 2024Christmas Dinner with my son at Venice Ristorante in Denver. Great view across from a decorated Union Station. Reservations at 6pm, sat at 6:15. Bread service was an ample amount for two with leftovers. Worth the price as far as volume but not overwhelmingly amazing. Appetizer: fried zucchini and calamari. Zucchini was amazing! Calamari needed salt but well cooked. Spicy marina dipping sauce, very mild, zero heat. Enough for 3 people. Entrees: Gnocchi with Burrata was incredible and a large portion. We took half home. Excellent texture and taste. Highly recommend. Piccata: well cooked, could cut with a fork, mash potatoes silky, veggies average. Three huge pieces, easy dish to split, if desired. Pics of of not great due to lighting. Huge shout out to the manager and hostess. There was an elderly gentleman that missed the stairs and fell face first on the floor, resulting in a bloody facial lacaration and injuries. They did great with a packed restaurant on Christmas, handling the situation. Holiday dining note: our server was great, I ashed him about his night and he seemed reserved. I said I hoped he was making some good holiday money with nice customers. And he his face dropped. He was so sweet and said not really, no one’s tipping or really nice. We did our best to change that and basically left half our check amount as a tip. But a small reminder that a bit of kindness even a compliment or smile goes a long way, especially on the service industry, on a holiday.More infoVenice Ristorante & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / LoDo•4.8
