Glacier Denver - S University & Lowry Town Center

A new location just opened near us in Lowry and holy cow this ice cream spot is AMAZING. They have outstanding gelato (try the lemon) and their ice cream flavors are creative and fabulous (Funky Donkey is our new fave). The staff is warm and friendly and their service has been flawless every time we've been in. Hands down one of the top 3 frozen treat spots to hit in Denver when you need a dessert fix.

Locanda Del Borgo - 3rd & Holly

In the mood for Italian?? Locanda won't let you down. We had a wonderful evening of perfect service, extensive wine selections and delicious food. The Straccetti was new to us and amazing and it paired perfectly with the Butter Lettuce salad to start us off. I'm a sucker for Branzino and it was everything I hoped it would be. Husband practically licked his plate clean after trying the Short Rib Ravioli. They checked every hospitality box down to a table visit by the Manager without ever being intrusive or hovering. Relaxed perfection! BONUS: They called us when we forgot our to-go dessert on the table.

La Merise - Cherry Creek

This was our first dinner here (I've met friends for lunch and always loved the food) and it was fantastic. The atmosphere feels like eating at a neighbors house that can cook really well, relaxed and sophisticated. Their mussels and escargot are divine and the Boeuf Bourguignon knocked my socks off. It would hands down rival Julia Child's best Boeuf. Husband couldn't get enough of the Pork Medallions and has demanded that I learn to make a comparable mushroom cream sauce ASAP. BONUS: They shake up a perfect martini.

Four Friends Kitchen - Stapleton

This is one sweet, southern spot. We'll try any restaurant that has fried green tomatoes on their menu and this one is a hit. The Pepper Jelly Grilled Brussels were an amazing twist on the same old sprouts and the Cheese & Chorizo Beignets were perfectly fried. Choosing entrees was almost torturous because everything sounded so delicious. The Peanut Crusted Southern Fried Chicken Waffle Sandwich and the Down South Trio (Green Chili Mac & Chz, collard greens & Peanut Crusted Chicken Tenders) didn't disappoint. Everything was seasoned to perfection. All that awesomeness combined with their super quick service makes this a perfect breakfast, brunch or lunch destination. Be still my GA heart.

Solitaire - W 32nd/Highlands

This new restaurant is charming as hell and the food was absolutely delicious. This is the place to be this spring and summer. Their outdoor seating is just lovely with endless options (shaded, sunny, upstairs, downstairs, out back, on the side - awesome!). Their rotating beer list is going to get us back in sooner than later for some outdoor dining. The Misticanza & Antipasti Board were perfection only to then be out done by the CO Lamb T-Bone and Acadia Redfish. Husband swooned for their extensive Gin & Tonic list while I fell for the Hot Piece of Ass cocktail (not kidding). We left with a gift card (gotta gift a dinner here to someone we love STAT, it's that good) and plans to return for dinner soon not to mention full resolution that this will be our next dinner party spot. No question.

Cho77 - S Broadway

This spot was opened by the same amazing chef that owns one of our faves, ChoLon (LoDo). We were lucky enough to receive an invitation to a private tasting a week after they opened their doors and I am so glad we did. It gave us the chance to try many of the items on the menu and damn they were delicious. So damn delicious that we decided to stay for dinner afterwards. From the Scallop Ceviche to the Vegetable Samosas and a Tropical Fruit Plate with sriracha dipping salt we were in Asian street food heaven. I adored the Roti Pizza, husband ate every bite of the Wonton noodles & Pork Belly and neither one of us could get enough of the Hanoi Night Train cocktail. The decor with its many authentic and thoughtful touches will charm your socks off. This restaurant is not to be missed. Hurry up, your Buffalo Chicken Buns are waiting.
