Best Authentic Restaurants in Stapleton

Enjoyed our evening out before concert. Great spot and the vibe was upscale casual. Food is spot on and cocktails mixed with a thoughtful flair

This place has a warm, inviting vibe—like enjoying fine dining at a friend’s house. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. The Do Bien Tai Chanh was outstanding, the Ca Song crisp and refreshing, and the Banh Uot a definite crowd-pleaser. The Mi Xao Bo stood out with its perfect char and juicy interior—absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and perfectly paced, with a diverse, affordable selection of wines and cocktails.

Long time diners at La Merise. Wonderful, cozy, neighborhood spot. Excellent service . Ordered 3 of our “usual” meals. Slight differences in all 3 makes us think new chef. Sauce a bit congealed (tasted great however) and prep slightly different (salmon appeared seared instead of poached). Prices increased a bit also. Guess it is a sign of the times.

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!!

Bistro Vendome turned out to be the ideal place for my wife and I to spend Valentine’s Day, which was as well our 49th wedding anniversary. The decor is charming and of course reminded us of Paris. The staff are friendly and sophisticated and the service was superb and timely. I enjoyed the French onion soup and the Coq au vin and my wife had the trout with a wonderful cucumber salad . I highly recommend the wine selection and of course to top things off they have a dessert treat called the chocolate bomb, which was a delicious and fitting end to a great dinner in a place with lively atmosphere.
