I’ve eaten here quite a few times and have never had a bad meal. The rib eye cap dinner is outstanding, but I departed and ordered the ribs last night. They were fall off the bone good!! Portion sizes are perfect and service is always attentive. This is one of my “go to” restaurants when I head to the Stapleton area. One area of caution. They changed their well bourbon for their Old Fashioned. It’s a terrible choice, so be sure to specify your own bourbon.

It was a great experience! This is our second year in a row we came to Avantiki. The ambiance is fun, drinks are amazing and the service is fantastic! I think the only downside is that it’s so loud, it’s hard to hear the conversation at your table. But we had an amazing time as always.

Fun modern vibe with giant orb light fixtures that reflect in the floor to ceiling windows of this rooftop bar in RiNo making it appear like there’s a giant full moon outside. Impeccably friendly and unobtrusive service with a smile. Crafty cocktail menu and delightful frozen concoctions that change regularly. Marigolds grace the drinks and the flatbread was divine. Small menu with tapas style portions, easy to share and tasty bites. Less options for those who are gluten free. Bouncy lounge music vibe without being so loud that we couldn’t talk in the cozy, comfy semi circular booth. Will be back!
