Extremely disappointed in last nights anniversary dinner at Izakaya Den. Incredibly loud and the seating area was way too close to the next table. We shouldn’t be able to hear their conversations and know what they are talking about. Another person joined their table sitting right next to my wife. Very awkward and really ruined the romantic date we were trying to have. We asked to be reseated for our dessert but it was really too late.

Our dining experience was wonderful! Eugene, our server was attentive and gave us great suggestions on ordering. We tried a variety of things, and loved everything! Our favorite was the Toro sushi, and crispy rice spicy tuna, the eggplant miso and miso black cod. We saved room for dessert, and the banana pie and matcha tiramisu were outstanding! We will definitely be back!

The food is always superb as is their service. We think it's the best restaurant in Denver and it's one of the best I've eaten at anywhere in the US or anywhere. We've been coming here since the 1990s and it's by far our favorite restaurant.
