Best Date Night Restaurants in East Colfax

Our dinner at G&G met and exceeded all expectations. I'd read the reviews and it truly lived up to the hype. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and worked incredibly well together. The food and drinks were the best we've had. My guy is a huge steak fan through and through, but don't sleep on the cod. We shared the choice ribeye, the wagyu filet, and the cod after having an incredible valentine's started with king crab. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience from start to finish.

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.

Benzina is phenomenal. The restaurant is housed in a converted auto-body garage. The windows are still garage doors. The interior is really cool because the style is like a mid-century modern 70’s Italian design. The kitchen is completely open and at the center of the restaurant so you can see the cooks working their magic. I preferred sitting at the counter because you could watch your food being prepared. Lastly, the food was delectable. I honestly think the pizza was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I like this place very much.

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.

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.
