This was our first visit to Bistro Vendome's Park Hill location. While we loved their location in Larimer Square, this restaurant seems lighter and on street parking was a breeze. We were celebrating our 48th anniversary, and the whole celebration was brilliant! We took advantage of Happy Hour drinks and hors d'oeuvres, following up with main courses of Cassoulet and gnocchi -- both were outstanding! The crunchy wafer on their tiramisu was a surprising delight. We had a wonderful time people watching from our window seats and plan to return often.

We had a great time here! We decided last minute to get an early dinner reservation, and it did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal as was the service. It's a restaurant in a hotel so it's somewhat limited in the ambience hence why I gave that specific rating a 4/5. Only recommendation, and this is I have seen at most restaurants around Denver, is why is a mocktail $15, almost the same price as a cocktail? I would expect a mocktail to be $7-$8.
