- DDon and ParisDenver / Colorado •21 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAbsolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! From the moment we were seated to the time we walked out, everything was exceptional. Jason was an attentive and wonderful host, and Zach went above and beyond as our server and bartender. The food was fantastic—every dish a standout. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the whipped potatoes were absolutely delicious. The French onion soup was flavorful and just the right portion for a starter, but my personal favorite was the wedge salad—the blue cheese dressing was so incredible I wish I could’ve taken a bottle home! The gnocchi was rich and flavorful, with a generous portion size. My only suggestion would be a little more brown butter sauce to balance its heaviness, but overall it was fantastic. The ambiance was impressive, making it a perfect setting for a birthday dinner. Since it was a Monday night, we didn’t experience the noise of a busy evening, but the atmosphere was beautiful and inviting. Highly recommend for a special night out!More infoWhite Buffalo Grille @ The Lodge Casino (Must be 21+)Price: Expensive• American• Black Hawk•4.1
- JJenniferDenver / Colorado •6 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThe food was incredible and our server was very helpful. The table of 15 people next to us celebrating a birthday were louder than the band, and it ruined the atmosphere. The band was amazing, when we could hear them. Towards the end of the meal our server became less attentive, but I think that was due to large parties she was responsible for being sat at the same time as we were wrapping up.More infoBistro MariposaPrice: Moderate• Bistro• Black Hawk•4.4
