Best Cozy Restaurants in Highlands Ranch / Lone Tree

A Cozy Christmas Delight at Fireside Bar and Grill During the “Blazing Bright at the Inverness” event, my friend and I enjoyed a heartwarming evening sipping hot cocoa at Fireside Bars and Grills. The ambiance was enchanting, blending holiday cheer with the magic of beloved Christmas films. The hot cocoa, rich and velvety, was the perfect companion as we soaked in the festive spirit. Every corner of the venue transformed into a cinematic wonderland, making us feel like part of the stories themselves. Fireside Bars and Grills is a must-visit for anyone looking to embrace the season in the coziest and most delicious way possible!

We had heard of the Ocean Prime Chain but never tried it before. It was fantastic in all ways and we are already planning our return visit. Our wait staff was perfect with Joe leading the group. The lobster bisque was to die for and went over the top when we added a teaspoon of sherry to it. They need to put that sherry option on the menu for all to enjoy. We will be in Phoenix and Orlando in the coming months and plan to try those Ocean Prime locations when there. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Ocean Prime made it very special and memorable.

Our server Amanda was great, as were the others who were part of the outstanding service. Our group of six ordered various menu items, all of the food was well prepared, delicious and the presentations of it were lovely. We very much enjoyed our Christmas dinner there with friends and family. Whether for holidays, special occasions or dinners any day, Chianti Ristorante has a very special Italian ambiance, which reminds us of the places we went to in Italy, and is a wonderful place to go.

This restaurant far exceeded any expectations I had as it was highly recommended to me. The food was absolutely exceptional. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had and the Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and they treated me so well. The ambience was incredible and I was impressed that the noise levels were not too high in the bar and lounge area and great music choice playing. I would definitely return to this restaurant Other perks: Complimentary valet. Easy to drive to. Modern, open vibe.

We were 9 family members celebrating Christmas and had lovely food with an excellent waiter. We all want to return soon. The lamb and filets got top reviews, as well as the butter fish and salmon. The restaurant was quite busy, but the atmosphere was warm and cozy. It was a night for our family to remember.
