This place is amazing! Small intimate setting (make a reservation to be safe) with great service and phenomenal food. We started with the chicharrones and the Ahi Tuna Tiradito. Both were exceptional - the chicharrones had some spices sprinkled on that went really well, and they were solid pieces of pork, so no one was upset at the portion. The tiradito had a leche de tigre that was very flavorful and went perfect with the ahi and avocado. Our party ordered the cachete and lomo saltado for entrees, which were both amazing as well. The cachete was incredibly tender and flavorful and came on a bed of beans with mole. They serve with tortillas and the entire dish fit together perfectly. The lomo saltado was also very tender and packed with flavor. I particularly liked the shrimp they it came with, but all the parts of that dish were really well done. The ambiance was perfect, the music was present but didn’t prevent conversation and it maintained an upbeat atmosphere. We did not order any drinks aside from water and beer, so I can’t speak to their cocktails, but they had a well-stocked bar. Overall I would come back in a heartbeat!!!

5 Stars – An Absolutely Unforgettable Anniversary Experience! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Shanahan’s Steakhouse on October 25, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the finest dining experiences we have ever had. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were made to feel like a million bucks. The attention to detail, warmth, and genuine hospitality were simply extraordinary. Our table had been beautifully prepared with rose petals in celebration of our anniversary, setting the tone for what would become a truly memorable evening. Our server, Robert, was phenomenal—attentive, professional, personable, and absolutely committed to making our evening special. A special acknowledgment also goes to Lane, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional. His generosity and thoughtfulness, including a complimentary addition that perfectly complemented our meal, were remarkable. To top it all off, we were treated to dessert in celebration of our anniversary. The food was outstanding, but what truly distinguished Shanahan’s was the level of service. Every interaction felt genuine, thoughtful, and intentional. This wasn’t simply excellent restaurant service; it was quite possibly the finest customer service experience we have ever encountered, anywhere. To Robert, Lane, and the entire Shanahan’s team: thank you for making our anniversary so incredibly special. You have earned not only our appreciation but our loyalty. Shanahan’s is officially our new favorite restaurant, and we will absolutely be back. An exceptional experience from beginning to end. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Stopped by Del Frisco’s in DTC with my husband for a little remote work session at the bar over lunch. Enjoyed a martini, wedge salad, and lobster bisque. Everything was delicious! The lobster bisque was rich and creamy, and the wedge was fresh and flavorful. The manager, Chris, was great and made our visit even better. A great spot to get a little work done while enjoying a nice lunch together!

We were at Eddy V's to celebrate a birthday and from start to finish, everything was stellar! Our server Stephanie was the best I've had at this location and I will ask to be seated in her section any time I'm going to dine with them!

Sushi

Tech Center / Greenwood Village

About the restaurant

The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they're Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun!
