   We had drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. They have a varied menu, so it can satisfy many different tastes. They have several vegetarian and gluten free options too and the menu is well-marked for these. The server was very friendly and helpful and even gave suggestions. Don't even think of going without dessert here! They are amazing - apple donuts, flourless chocolate torte, bread pudding! It was a bit noisy in the large room to the north but seemed a bit quieter in the main, smaller tabled area. All around a wonderful experience!

   Latin flare with nice atmosphere. Our server was really good let us know a large party arrived so kitchen would be slow but still got us out by time we asked for a show. Food is good, but also not ridiculously overpriced like many restaurants in town now. I’d go back!

   I want to start by saying I love Acova, I'm gluten free and they have lots of delicious choices. I have friends in Denver and live in Arvada and it's equidistant between our houses. Tonight I met a friend for food and wine and was having a lovely time until our server came up to us and said if we wanted desert now was the time to order because they had another reservation in 20 min. I asked him it they were throwing us out, and he said there was another reservation in 20 min. Clearly profitability is more important to them than our experience. What would have happened if we wanted to have a cup of coffee and talk some more? would they have thrown us out? Made a scene? I am so disappointed what was once a special place now feels uncomfortable and I don't know if i will go back.

   Hello Patricia, Thank you for your kind words about our restaurant. It was absolutely not our intention to insult you, our server was enacting our 2-hour policy. That policy is stated in OpenTable and terms/policies must be acknowledged by our guests before the completion of booking. That policy is in place to protect all of our guests experiences. I'm guessing you skipped over it? Had you requested more time, one of the managers working last night would have addressed this with you, nobody would be thrown out, no drama. There was no intention of offending you. We welcome you back any time and are happy to accommodate any timing related requests with advanced notice to avoid what we feel is an undeserved review. Enjoy the holidays. John H - General Manager

   My husband wanted to try this restaurant because it focused on gluten-free entrees and desserts. Overall the entrees were tasty. My husband had the GF fish and chips. Outside the breading for the fish was perfectly fried, but inside the breading was slightly doughy. This might be just the function of GF breading and nothing you can do about it. The coleslaw that accompanied his dish lacked any sort of seasoning or flavor. It tasted like cabbage mixed with mayonnaise. I enjoyed my Prime Rib French Dip. The perfect balance of cheese, meat, and poblano peppers. Delicious! The fries were perfectly thin and crisp. The service was beyond excellent. The biggest disappointment was the desert. My husband had the fried apple donuts and I had the cheesecake. I don't know if it was an off day for the deserts or what, but both were less than satisfactory. The apple donuts were sliced apples that had been coated in a breading and fried. The apples were not cooked through and were still hard. The texture of the cheesecake was spot on, but the flavor was missing. It was tasteless.

   Excellent in all regards. Appreciate that they allow reservations for brunch. Service and food were both excellent, and they had a lot of options that catered to my wife who is a celiac.
