Restaurants near Colorado History Museum

I live in Denver and brought a visiting friend to tea. It was a lovely experience - not inexpensive, but since it's not an everyday outing, that was fine. The room was beautiful, the food was very good, the tea selection was excellent and the service was outstanding. However, it IS Denver and it DOES get cold here in the winter; it was uncomfortable in the atrium and most people kept their coats and scarves on. It's too bad the Brown Palace Hotel hasn't figured out a way to combat the frigid outdoor temperatures better. Since we 'dressed up' for the occasion, it was a shame to have to keep our outerwear on the whole time. Overall, a fun experience.

We dined there for the first time last night to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We were greeted by our server with a card that was signed by the chef and all of the staff which was very sweet. We were so surprised to see how large the portions are. The family style sides were huge and a great value. The whipped mashed potatoes are hands down the best potatoes we have ever had. Truly. We are still talking about them. The only complaint we have- and it’s a very small one- is the open seating in the main dining room. We were very close the diners on either side of us and we could not have a private conversation. We booked only a week before, so I’m not sure if booking out earlier would have helped, or if there are more private booths. All in all, we had such a wonderful time. Our server was phenomenal, the food was sublime (go for the Filet Flight, you won’t regret it) and it has become our favorite already. Better than Shanahan’s and Del Frisco’s which are our usual go-to’s for steak.

Special call out to Estella she was very friendly and provided excellent service.

The food was excellent. The pinot grigio and the service were outstanding. We went early for a birthday dinner and had a quiet table in the corner. Highly enjoyable. Friendly and welcoming staff throughout.

Fasbulous fresh small plates of food, perfect for a light lunch.
