    Went here for Valentine’s with the hubby. The atmosphere was intimate and lovely. They gave us a rose, there were rose petals on the table, and the other patrons were all having their conversations at the same level so there was just a nice quiet mummer over the restaurant. It was so nice and the food was terrific, it was the first dinner in months where neither of us felt drawn to take out our phones. The energy was just right for us to feel like being engaging with one another. 10/10 would (and most likely will) dine again.

    Ocean Prime delivered an exceptional dining experience for Valentine’s Day. The food was nothing short of outstanding, with every dish crafted to perfection. Our server was not only attentive but also had impeccable recommendations, ensuring we got the best of both the menu and the night’s drink specials. While the restaurant was busier than expected, and the noise level was a bit higher than ideal, it didn’t overshadow the quality of the meal or the overall experience. If I had to rate it, I’d confidently give Ocean Prime a 4.7 out of 5—an excellent choice for a special occasion or an upscale night out.

    The French onion soup dumplings are to die for. Our entrée was simply just okay. Small bites and appetizers are the way to go.

    STK Denver is the perfect blend of upscale dining and a lively, energetic atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the sleek, modern decor and upbeat music set the tone for a fun and sophisticated night out. The steaks are next-level—perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and incredibly tender. But beyond the steak, the menu offers a great selection of seafood, sides, and creative drinks that make the whole dining experience even better. The little burgers and truffle pasta are absolute musts! Service was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, out for a date night, girls night, or just looking for a great meal with a lively vibe, STK Denver does not disappoint.
