The Vienna Room, The Cave, and The Blue Room were all part of the Steuben's space and hosted Big Band, Jazz, and Swing groups with The Rat Pack, proms and sweet sixteens, and more.

Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul.

The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date.

Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

Fox and The Hen is inspired by a love of all things breakfast aka #MorningStuff. Here, we believe all the best things happen in the morning: sunrises, coffee drinks, small breakfast burritos tucked in large breakfast burritos and walks of shame. Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept. Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.

We had drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. They have a varied menu, so it can satisfy many different tastes. They have several vegetarian and gluten free options too and the menu is well-marked for these. The server was very friendly and helpful and even gave suggestions. Don't even think of going without dessert here! They are amazing - apple donuts, flourless chocolate torte, bread pudding! It was a bit noisy in the large room to the north but seemed a bit quieter in the main, smaller tabled area. All around a wonderful experience!

Our server was a female and she was very attentive and friendly. We ate chicken Marsala and salmon with stuffed shrimp ( one of the specials offered that night). The food was outstanding! One of our favorite places to dine when we come to Denver.
