We had a delightful dinner at Acova before the Pink concert the other night. What a great find!! The vibe is cool and laid back, service was good and the food was on point. We had the deviled eggs, elote as appetizers then shared the Havana sandwich as our main. Everything was delicious. They have a great cocktail menu as well. read more

Acova is a very cozy atmosphere with great food and interesting drink options. I can see why this place has such high ratings. I ordered the the "I'm your Huckleberry" drink. The drink is, 44 North Huckleberry vodka, homemade lavender-mint lemonade. Served on the rocks with a lemon wedge. YUM!!! VERY strong, but delicious! As an appetizer, I got the crab cakes. Warning they are a little bigger than a quarter. Although small, the were tasty. The chipotle aioli was very good. The star of the evening though was the Potato & Cheese Pierogis. OMG, I died eating these. They are, bacon, onions, mushrooms, red bell pepper, sour cream, herb butter. It was like this creamy, bacon and mushroom sauce on top that I could have mainlined into my veins! HIGHLY recommend trying the pierogis if nothing else. YUM!!! read more

Too many awesome gluten free options to mention. This place is great for anyone with Celiac and even if you could care less about gluten, the restaurant is simply awesome. I got the tacos as an appetizer As an afterthought but they ended up being my favorite of everything I got. I ended up ordering more tacos. The burgers are great and the crabcake is good too. Honestly, we didn't get anything we didn't love As far as drinks, we got the Huckleberry which was a spiked lemonade which was just OK but the Mixed white and red wine slushy was fantastic. The place has a really cool vibe too ...and I would be surprised if you didn't like it. This restaurant makes me wish I lived in Denver because I would totally come here all the time. For dessert we got the GF Apple donut and Affogato - both awesome. read more

I had ordered takeout from here once and loved the brussels sprout salad! When a friend and I met for dinner, I suggested here and the in person experience was also great. There was a bit of a delay on our drinks and the server came over to apologize which was appreciated. The drinks and food were excellent. I was walking through the restaurant to check out the cool decor and the owner started chatting with me. She was very personable and I enjoyed our conversation. I could tell how much pride she takes in the restaurant and it is well deserved. read more

I came in because of Yelp Roulette, and I'm glad I did. They have a nice selection of beers on tap as well as a full bar. The hostess and server were both super nice, and the short ribs were amazing. They made me feel so nostalgic even though my mom never cooked a dish like this. I think it was the way the flavors melded. In any case, well done for the evocation. I'll be back next time I'm in the Denver Metro Area. read more

The food was delicious and so were the drinks, but the service wasn't what I would call good..we weren't asked by our waitress Mack about drink refills or how our food was. As someone who worked in a food service for a long time I usually tip well regardless of hang up with service because it's not always the servers fault but we felt very forgotten about and rushed out towards the end of the meal..maybe it's because we didn't look quite as well off everyone else that was surrounding us. read more

Stopped here for lunch recently, had a great time. They've got a solid menu with healthful choices and great flavors. Had a Cuban panini and a cup of green chile posole. My wife had a beautiful looking salad. Nice cocktail selections. We sat in the dining area - it was bright and airy with exposed brick walls. Great looking bar area - next time I'm coming back for a beer! Convenient location along Navajo Street just south of W 38th. p.s. the server was terrific! read more

What a Beautiful Cozy Place! Staff was Wonderful! Drinks Delicious! Menu was Amazing! We had Artichoke Heart Fritters, Wow! Sooo Yummy! Potato Cheese Pierogis! So Creamy and Super Delicious! You have to try the Apple Donuts, fried with Berties & Ice Cream! We are from out of state, first time in the Denver Area! They are really fixing up this area! You'll Love this Place! read more

I have been here a few times now. I've been for cocktails, dinner, and even restaurant week. I have consistently been happy with the quality of the food and drinks. Although not inexpensive, the price you pay for what you get here is competitive, and provides solid value. Likewise, the service here is usually quite good. Most recently, I had a fancy burger and fries, washed down with a wine slushy. All in all, I was quite pleased. read more

Delicious Happy Hour and restaurant that caters towards gluten intolerant people! The majority of Acova's menu is celiac-friendly which is great if you're celiac or just cutting gluten out of your diet! They have a great indoor and even better outdoor space. Plus happy hour means all appetizers are $3 off! The deviled eggs are a must, they have a slight heat to them but are also some of the best eggs I've ever had. The perogies are fantastic, the elote is a great snack, and you can't miss out on their wine slushies. Give them a try on a nice day to enjoy their patio space! read more

Great spot to catch up with friends or go out on a cute date! They've got a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating as well. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it does fill up quickly. We filled up on their delicious wine slushes and appetizers! Acova Wings - They came out fried with dipping sauces. I was expecting the sauce on the wings, but they were so crispy and delicious I didn't mind. Tomatillo Beer Cheese Dip - Perfect to soak in the wine. Cheese dip was delicious and saucy. Potato and Cheese Pierogis - I can never say no to pierogis, but the sauce was a knockout! I ordered extra pretzels to dip in it as well. Fish and Chips - Crispy and delicious! I just wish there was an extra fish for the price. All in all a great spot to hang out! read more

We had heard a lot about Acova, so Andreas and I decided to make a little Friday Happy Hour date out of it and tried a bunch of different appetizers. Lots of great options, and super reasonably priced! We really liked the tacos and pretzels and cheese. Didn't try any drinks this time, so we will have to go back! read more

Our friend had always wanted to try this place, so we enjoyed a fantastic lunch here! The outdoor patio was perfect for the sunny day. We started with pierogis - lush and cheesy. I had the chicken thigh sandwich - elevated - and my partner had the steak dip sandwich which he really enjoyed. Our friend's burger looked good too. Loved our server. The inside looks really cute - definitely recommend this place. read more

SO GOOD. Almost everything here can be made gf. And if you come you MUST get the apple donuts. They are to die for. Our server Aleeza was the absolute sweetest and was very knowledgeable. read more

I really enjoyed my experiences at Acova! I've been to their brunch and dinner! Cute restaurant with some great seating options. They have an inside/outside bar top, a patio area, a hightop cute bar area, and low tables with cute greenery views. The berry puff puff at brunch is a MUST get! It was delicious. The benedict biscuit was great and the mimosas were a great addition for brunch. The scallops from the dinner menu were also delicious and they have really refreshing drink options! Each time I've gone the service has been great. Didn't need to make a reservation either time and the restaurant never got too crowded while I was there. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

+ Blackened salmon + Lavender lemonade tea + Cauliflower fritto + Calamari (not pictured) Service was impeccable here our server was attentive and so were others when delivering and picking up our plates ! Was here for dinner on a Monday at 7pm which sorta makes sense haha. The ambience is perfect for catching up with old friends not too loud or too quiet. +Calamari served in tomato sauce with other spices was delicious. This appetizer is a must! Probably only good for 2 people. + Cauliflower fritto was not exactly what I was expecting. Why was I hoping for something a little more deep fried and battered lol? I would pass on this one. + Blackened salmon the salmon portion was fantastic. I, unfortunately, found this dish to be too dry. I'd def try something different next time. read more

So figured I would give this place another try. So my husband and I decided to stop by and eat outside with our pup. They don't allow dogs on their patio and they told us we could eat out front but our dog had to be tied on the street because of allergies. You're in Denver where there are more dogs than kids, so don't use stupid excuses for not being dog friendly. Also, understand that my money will go elsewhere because my fur baby is just that and I will support businesses that are dog friendly. read more

Acova is a true hidden gem! I never leave disappointed. Service, food and drinks are always great. The charming ambiance and patio seating in the Summer is a definite perk. Highly recommend. read more

Had a date night in Denver and I was tasked with finding the spot where we were going to eat. I chose Acova for the perogies and they did not disappoint! My wife even exclaimed that her papa, who is polish would have loved these. They were pretty much the highlight of the meal. We arrived a little early for our reservation and our table was ready so we didn't have to wait. Ordered a bottle of wine and a whiskey on the rocks for drinks but as mentioned above was eager to try the perogies so started with those right away, amazing! The sandwich and fish and chips were ok but didn't stand out. The sandwich could have had a little more filling as you can see from the picture of looks like just bread. The fish and chips were small but tasty which was ok since it left room for dessert! The dessert not pictured was not good. We tried the berry cobbler which was very tart and under cooked. This place has a lot of great things going for it and the perogies should be a meal option with maybe a sausage would be epic. If you couldn't tell i really enjoyed the perogies and would make a meal out of them next time! read more

Acova is a celiacs dream come true. To start, the restaurant itself is stunning. Tucked away in the highlands it has a wonderful patio and fantastic bar. The service is second to none and the food was incredible. I split a few appetizers with a friend but will be back to try the fried chicken. The espresso martini had the most amazing flavor and the artichoke fritters had my heart. I have not had those in years. The gluten-free options are amazing and the staff is VERY allergy aware. They also own the Hornet on South Broadway which has been a go to of mine for years. Thank you Betsy and Sean for giving me such a delicious and celiac safe place to dine! I'll be back soon for that chicken. read more

Food was decent in taste and value for money! I came here for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. The booking process was simple via Open Table. I did leave a note on Open table that it was an attendees birthday though they did not acknowledge that special note. We arrived with a party of 5 and we were seated in a nice booth. Just a heads up, there is a 2 hour limit for people eating dinner and drinks. We ordered a pretzel and beer cheese and nachos appetizer to share which were okay tasting. I ordered the honey stung chicken for my entree which was disappointing. I love all fried chicken, but my chicken was over fried, hard, and difficult to cut with a knife. The dish comes with 1 broccolini which seems odd to not come with more, and the potatoes were fairly tasty. At $20ish dollars for an entree I was pretty disappointed. We also asked for pepper and instead of in a pepper dispenser or grinder it came in paper packets. Seems odd for a mid-scale restaurant The atmosphere is really nice and we enjoyed sitting here for hours chatting. read more

OK today this is my new favorite restaurant. Wendy and her family that owns this place also on the hornet, oh my goodness, I've been going to that place for years. I love her she's just so sweet, full energy and very bubbly. Reagan was her waitress today and did a wonderful job. She explained the menu and told us about her customers favorite things on the menu. A French dip was ordered, not the best. But I ordered the Beef Short rib with risotto and Demi glaze. Wow! I loved that! The outdoor patio that looks really fun and be great when it's definitely warmer out. A young person's playground in the back. I love the bar area the light fixture, the plants inside were amazing I WOULD go back. read more

Acova's food is mediocre. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with it--it's just not as good as the other restaurants at the same price point in the area. I've never left feeling I had a fantastic meal. However, I will say the fried chicken and wings are good. read more

Acova - Honey Stung Fried Chicken - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Really cute patio space and love the plants inside. Those hanging pothos are GOALS! I thought the food was good; although a little stingy. The fried chicken dinner was literally 1 chicken breast and the fish and chips came with two teensie pieces of fish. Luckily I didn't order any of those however when I saw the fish I was like man that seems a bit lackluster. Apps were good, and I'm thinking if I come back sticking to apps might be the way to go! Service was a bit slow but luckily they didn't adhere to the two hour time limit because there's no way we would have been able to do drinks, apps, and dinner in that time. read more

We loved Acova! The chicken was absolutely delicious, my partner ordered it and I tried a bite. It was crisp and had great flavor! I ordered a bunch of appetizers to try. I'd highly recommend the pierogis and the pretzel/cheese dip. The chips were also absolutely delicious! Our waitress brought us the chips so we could have them with the cheese dip as well. We weren't super impressed with the cauliflower, and I liked the tuna app but wasn't super impressed. I was not a fan of the cobbler, it was too tater for me. My partner like it though! We'd definitely come back here, highly recommend! read more

Acova was is a great spot for a date or casual evening out with friends. I really like all of the plants they use as decoration and to break up the sitting areas. The Broadway lobster mac & cheese was smothered in melted, creamy cheese with chunks of buttery lobster. The potato & cheese pierogis were delicious! These little pierogis pack in the flavor with cheesy, potato goodness. My favorite dish was the calamari fra diavolo....it had just the right amount of spice to add a little kick and the calamari was cooked just right! I saved some of the sauce for my lobster Mac & cheese. I could put that sauce on almost anything!! For dessert, I had an Espresso-lico. It was the perfect balance of coffee and creaminess to satisfy my sweet tooth. read more

I always love visiting new unique places in cities outside of my own. Acova was no exception. Even from the outside, the place is vibrant and you know you're probably going to have an enjoyable time. We sat in a booth in the back corner and right off the bat we loved our waiter. He was great and definitely made the experience what it was. We were big on our drinks that evening, so those were the stand outs. I specifically ordered a Painkiller and the Huckleberry drink. All yummy! As for the food, we had the tuna appetizer and it was a little small for the group (we got two which was just under enough for four people). I ordered the Italian pasta without meat and with veggies instead. It was good, but not really what I expected and also slightly small in portioning. Overall, our experience with the waiter were great and the atmosphere was definitely up our alley. I'd recommend if you're in the area, maybe for happy hour or a lighter snack! read more

We came in on a Monday night to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was surprisingly packed! The food was just okay. The best dishes were the appetizers we shared, the pretzel bites and nachos. I had the grilled Caesar with Salmon. The salmon portion was pretty small and the grilled lettuce was a little limp. Everything seemed just okay. Not sure that the food is worth the price. I think their brunch may be better so I would return to give brunch a try but maybe not lunch or dinner. read more

Suuupppppperrrrr confused by this place. The reviews don't make sense and the menu is bizarre... I should have gone with my instinct and ordered the fish n chips instead of asking the waitress' preference, which I now realize were the three most expensive meals on the menu. The blackened salmon was so subpar I could barely eat more than a few bites. I'm by no means a great chef myself, but my salmon at home sh*ts on theirs. TBH it tasted like someone cooking farmed salmon for the first time and burning a bag of microwaveable rice. I want this place to succeed, because it's got decent atmosphere, but they need to significantly improve their meals. OR ELSE, they need to stick with sandwiches and more simple meals and get rid of all their entrees that fail to meet expectations. In the meantime, I will absolutely not return for anything more than cocktails at happy hour. Hope this helps make some improvements because it's got potential...? read more

What an enjoyable evening. This is definitely a great place to take friends, sit at the bar and watch a game, or even take a special someone out for a date. During the warmer months they have a fantastic patio to sit on. The staff from start to finish were friendly and welcoming. My SO and I started off with their calamari dish dish, which was served in a light tomato-based broth with just enough seasoning to make it a must try. For dinner, we shared the scallops dish, the Pupusa and Gnocchi appetizers. We enjoyed every bite, though, my favorite dish was the Pupusa appetizer. We finished up our meal with a chocolate flourless torte served with vanilla ice cream, and a sprig of mint. Definitely worth a visit. read more
