Absolutely phenomenal tapas, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. My wife and I stopped by for a date night and everything we ordered was incredible. We ordered some tapas that we had in Spain, like pan con tomate and jamon serrano, along with some unique tapas we haven’t tried before, like a special flatbread with quail eggs, and it was all incredible. The portion sizes are solid for the price and our server was incredibly attentive, swapping out our dishes and refilling our water regularly. We highly recommend stopping by and we can’t wait to be back to try more tapas!

Get a reservation before coming. On Tapas Tuesday they have 9 options of Tapas for $8. You must get their muscles (Mejillones con Tomate) and order an extra plate of bread to dip. The bread is phenomenal. The Setas Salteadas (mushrooms) are great. Everyone I go with tends to agree that some of their plates could use a bit more seasoning. Their croquettes are decent. They have a great wine selection. Very small beautiful restaurant. Their service is incredible and I appreciate that. They explain every dish they bring out to you.

As always, the 9th Door was excellent starting at the reception, the customer service, the waiters, the chef, the food and most importantly, the establishment itself. I had brought my brother, niece and father here for their first time and they all left highly impressed, truly satisfied, and fully stuffed from the excellent food choices they made off of the menu. I highly recommend this 5-star restaurant to others.

Really delicious tapas restaurant w/ a slightly smaller menu. They explain every dish to you when it comes out which I really enjoyed. $8 Tuesdays if you don’t have to dine in on the wknd! The croquettes are a MUST! Will be back again to bring more friends.

Edit – upping to a 4/5 because I tried their main tapas menu – they are amazing! True score is 3.5/5 though – got undercooked pork for one tapas which is pretty bad.

We have been on the hunt for a good tapas place in Denver and this spot is definitely our favorite so far! They had oysters and a green bean special, both of which were amazing! We also liked their patatas bravas, jamon croquets, lamb meatballs and crema catalana.

It’s hard for me to give 5 star to any place:) but this Tapas/Spanish/ Basque pintxos restaurant is just cherry on the top! The food is delicious, presentation and freshness 10/10! You can compare this restaurant to San Sebastián which has many Michelin stars under their belt. The food is explosion of flavors and authentic!!! The owner/ Chef Brian Murphy is truly a delightful soul to talk. He is knowledgeable and very attentive. The average cost per person will be around $50 but worth every dollar. Hard for me to remember the dishes I tried so the bill is attached and I tell you, every dish was worth every Penny. Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner tonight and thank you staff for the passion and love you serve the customers! Will surely be a frequent flyer here

This is a pretty good place. The food was great especially the paella, it felt very fresh too even though I usually have my doubts of ordering sea food in a landlocked state. We generally had a good time from appetizers to dessert. The atmosphere was busy but we had a nice little booth area and felt like a private dining experience. We would totally go back here again.

Oh man, this spot is great. We’re from out of town and were staying nearby. Excellent food, attentive and friendly service, great vegetarian options, tasty drinks, all in a chill atmosphere. I love it when the server knows the food well. All recommended tapas and drinks were on point.
