Best Date Night Restaurants in Washington Park

Absolutely wonderful new restaurant in Denver. The ambiance is perfect for an elegant date night. Drinks were on point. Food is on point with familiar Vietnamese flavors and french influences. The service was also great, with the server being knowledgeable, coat check, and check-in being on time. Friendly staff and great experience overall. The price is high, but I think it is respectable for the neighborhood.

My fiance and I found our expericene to be absolutely amazing. It wasn't till our host was leading us to our table that our excitement gradually increased. Walking down the candle lit steps, and then stepping into a room where it felt we both have entered into a new world. The ambience with the dim lighting, and the rustic feel of the room was very romantic (fitting for our anniversary!). This will be a silly comparison, but when we finally got a taste of our main plate, the braised bone-in Colorado short rib, I felt like a scene from Ratatouille. Each bite carried feelings and mellow colors to my mind that I haven't experienced before. Physically I was present in the restaurant, but mentally I was somewhere else. I didn't realize this part either, but subconscious I was even chewing slowly just to savor each flavor. We've only been to one other high-end restaurant, Nocturne, so our expectations were high, but I must say, we were completely satisfied and joyes as we left the restaurant. Thank you all for the unique experience.

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 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.

Alma Fonda Fina is an absolute standout in Denver! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending modern elegance with the soul of traditional Mexican cuisine. The menu is a love letter to authentic flavors, elevated with a fresh, innovative twist. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and packed with flavor—think handmade tortillas, rich and complex moles, and perfectly balanced ceviches. The drinks? Just as impressive. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, offering the perfect sip to complement the meal. Get the avocado Marg!! Service was top-notch, with a team that’s not only knowledgeable but passionate about the food they serve.
