Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Platt Park

Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

Great food & drinks, great service, fun ambiance. Loved the live music!

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 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!

We love QI. The owner clearly carefully crafted the menu, and the cuisine is unrivaled in Denver. We started with the honey-ricotta, little gem Caesar, and friend calamari - all excellent. The pesto, lemon charred chicken, and spicy lobster rigatoni alla vodka are among the best dishes I have ever tasted, including in Italy. They also have an excellent wine list with a broad range of fine options from Italy, France, and the US. Service has always been terrific each time we go. A great restaurant, full of ambiance, and character, Quality Italian remains one of our favorites.
