    My husband and I recently dined at Bazille Restaurant and were delighted with the experience. We were greeted warmly and promptly seated from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was inviting and chic, perfectly setting the mood for a delightful meal. Food: The food at Bazille was nothing short of exceptional. I had a steak salad; the steak was cooked perfectly, and my husband had shrimp and pasta and could not have been happier with the selection. Service: The service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. We will definitely be returning!

    We went to Kona Grill to celebrate a Galentine's lunch! Everything was great, from the appetizers, to the entrees, to the dessert. The filet and seafood pasta did not disappoint! There was also a good selection of mocktails to enjoy. Our server was great too and I highly recommend enjoying a meal or happy hour here!

    Incredible experience. Incredible food. Wonderful husband and wife duo who ran the show and hosted the evening. We have eaten many of the world’s top restaurants, and this tops them all, which we surprising to experience in Denver, Colorado.  100% splurge on the A5 Wagyu. It is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. If you have a shellfish allergy, they will accommodate this, despite what OpenTable says. Do reach out ahead of your meal.
