Best Romantic Restaurants in University Hills

Never disappointed! The fixed price menu for Valentine's Day was absolutely delicious, matched by the usual impeccable service (thank you Gage!). The menu never gets old - always new items, or long-standing favorites prepared in a new fashion since our last visit (agnolotte cacio e pepe for example). Shout out to the bartender as well for a delicious white negroni. Already planning a return visit!!

We went to Osteria for their Valentine's Day menu and the chef showcased a lot of new dishes, such as the oysters, risotto, bucatini plus a new pork cheek protein. Every dish was amazing but the standout was definitely the oysters. These were West Coast oysters from a company run by two brothers in Washington and they were served topped with caviar. My wife and I both said they were the best oysters we've ever had. I hope these are brought back again at some point. Overall, dining at Osteria is top notch and we've never had a bad meal nor experience here and can't recommend the restaurant enough.

Everything from the staff that greeted us to the server & all involved were great and the food was amazing. My wife usually cooks something special for is on Valentines Day but we were traveling to Denver & so I made this reservation. Food was outstanding & a treat for my wife to not have to cook. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

We had multiple moments where the food was so incredible, we couldn’t help but close our eyes to fully experience the flavor! Every dish was perfect. Don’t miss the tagliatelle.

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!
