Wow. My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate and what a wonderful, wonderful dinner we had. We got a chance to meet the GM, Mike who was friendly and easy to talk to and were served very quickly before our reservation.

My husband and I enjoyed an elegant dinner. The food was superb and the wine suggestion paired well with the dish. The GM Mike was so nice and checked on us throughout the night. Our waiter RIO was helpful and fantastic. We will definitely revisit this restaurant, highly recommended.

Outstanding dinner! I was visiting on a business trip with three colleagues and we were all exceedingly pleased with our dishes. The service was also excellent and the prices were reasonable given the quality of the food. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place and a lovely evening! The service was impeccable, the food fantastic. Lots of great flavors, served beautifully. Only “complaint” is that the seating if you are just two is VERY close to the table next you … we wound up chating w/the folks at the next table because it kind of felt like they were at our table lol. If you are looking for privacy you should probably ask for it when you make your reservation. I will be going back!

I recently rented out Avelina’s (LoDo) private room for a birthday party with 25 people and had an absolutely incredible experience! Mike Mitchell (GM) was so attentive when answering all my questions and emails. The restaurant give me incredible options to pick from for a 3 course pre-set menu. The price was unbeatable (seriously, everywhere else was significantly more expensive for so much less), and the portions were HUGE. All of my guests were really impressed. Their cocktail selections are also super with something for everyone. The service was impeccable. Shout out to our server, Bri! The entire process was so easy with absolutely zero surprises or hidden charges. I would 100% recommend this restaurant for a larger event, and I will most certainly be back to try the rest of their menu. Thanks Avelina!

3/7/23 The leek and potato soup was amazing, the mussels were amazing, the bison short ribs were AMAZING. Finally a restaurant that came through for Denver restaurant week. Delicious. I will definitely be coming here again sometime soon. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend was the sorbet, the texture was off and so was the flavor, it was not my cup of tea.

Most spectacular happy hour in Denver. The mussels and crispy truffle potato’s are the best! Kim & Kat are fantastic bartenders. The atmosphere is unbeatable.

Awesome menu. Loved the Som here, so welcoming and kind on my sister’s birthday. Our server was also fun and very professional. We got bubbles to start and then cocktails (not too sweet, well balanced) and a bottle of malbec. We were here the first night of their spring seasonal menu. The PEI mussels were divine. So many fun flavors. We loved the NY strip and all of the desserts were delicious too. The sumac sorbet was surprising but great for people who like tartness. I loved my lemon thyme dessert. Awesome experience.

Really enjoyable experience. Well-priced and well-executed dishes. We went all out with “small” charcuterie board, sweet potato appetizer (highest recommendation), mussels, lemon mascarpone “ravioli”, bison, and New York Strip. Also received the Brussels sprouts by mistake and they let us keep it (turns out “brussels sprouts” can be mistaken for “mussels” when ordering). Enjoyed son’s bday dinner. Not many entry-level bottles of wine but we enjoyed the $52 bottle of Tempranillo. Ordered too much and too satisfied for dessert. I had my eyes on lemon thyme cake and my daughter was hankering for chocolate fondant. Not needed.
