    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.

    Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.

    Lovely time, as always! The menu has changed a bit (for the better, we think!) over the last few years. The seasonal changes are always interesting. Lots of options for everyone and just a really chill vibe. We had the pleasure of being served by Carla who was so sweet (our friend was chilly from a wintery trek from his car, so she brought him a hot water to wrap his hands around) - so thoughtful! We had a lovely time and will be back.

    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.
