    Came here for a date night while visiting Denver. A friend highly recommended this spot and it lived up to her words! We sat up at the bar seating and that was equally cozy and perfect for us. Everything we ordered was so good and would do it exactly the same! The mushroom and fried chickpea dish was my favorite! The server did a great job of timing out our orders throughout the dinner. I can't wait to come back when I'm back in Denver!

    Update: love this place and have been multiple times now. Staff is consistently great! Came here during happy hour last and food is great as well. Came in for the burger, ordered the pate again (hard not to order), and the pasta dish. Burger was very good, juicy, seasoned well, and did not think the bread would work so well. Pleasant surprise. Pasta dish was really good as well. Loved the sweet and tart flavors. Bottarga added good depth and basil to finish.

    Delicious, as always! A nice higher end option in the the Stanley marketplace, with a nice happy hour too! Quality ingredients expertly crafted into delicious fresh cuisine. I hadn't been here in a long time and was glad to see they still have the egg salad toast! I was excited to try some new dishes like the autumn puff pastry and the butter lettuce salad my friend had been raving about. Excellent service and ambience. Such a delight!

    Fire Roasted Stone Fruit

    A return visit to Annette, where I was lucky enough to listen to and understand, Chef Glover's focus --- Fresh, local ingredients, fire roasted or grilled. Cook things that grow together, like beans, corn and tomatoes. She is a master. The fresh garden salad over a summer tart was a beautiful way to start. The calamari and linguini, divine. The pork chop was a bit underdone imho, but tender, from being marinated for 24 hours. Dessert was stone fruit, fire roasted and then topped with a sherry reduction and a very little amount of sugar. Goal, let the fruit be the star and it was. Everything locally produced. Very good wine list. Service, as always was exceptional. Annette has a cozy feel with the large plants which help dampen the noise from other diners. Overall, a wonderfully prepared. beautifully presented and very satisfyingly delicious meal.

    Absolutely delicious, great food, great service and incredible ambiance. What a fun place hidden away in Aurora. We will definitely be back!

    Cute place inside Stanley Markethall. It has a great ambience of a more upscale place if that is what you are looking for.

    The food, service and ambiance here never fails! We went to Annette's for an impromptu Thurs night date night where we sat at the bar and enjoyed 2 shareable dishes. Everything is delicious. They have a couple new items on the menu this winter which we decided to give it a try: fading ember: it was a bit on the more bitter side at the start of the drink but mellowed out towards the end. the basil and thai bitters was an interesting take, not exactly sure what they were going for. not bad but also not my favorite drink there espresso martini: need I say more? that's physics, baby: easy to drink collins cocktail. nicely balanced tart and fruity. I think I would've enjoyed this more on a hot summer day meanwhile, back at the ranch: this was probably my 2nd favorite, the mezcal made the drink a little smokey, reminds me of their take of a smoked old fashioned. delicious! as for apps, we got the castelfranco radicchio + boquerones and chicken liver pate. we were unsure if that was enough but it was just the right proportions. the radicchio is their take of cesaer salad which was great! for dessert, we got the the paris-brest which is my favorite there! always a great experience there, speedy, attentive service and the food is consistently amazing!

    Grilled broccolini
    Andrea K.

    On a rare outing to the Northeast side of Denver, we decided to eat here for happy hour/dinner. First of all, the service is impeccable. Attentive, but not invasive. Thoughtful but not arrogant. Whoever is training these people is doing it right. Secondly, the food is delicious! We opted to share the burger and fries ($20 on happy hour), deviled eggs ($5 for 2 on HH), the broccolini ($17) and house made pasta. Everything was wonderful! The pasta with mushrooms and lemon was just marvelous- well prepared and perfectly cooked and sang of spring. The broccolini was incredible. I thought an english muffin instead of a bun on the burger was strange, but it totally wasn't. It's made in house and is so delicious. I need to learn how to make english muffins for this very purpose! I felt the fries could have used a bit more salt/seasoning. The eggs were great, but I wouldn't get them again. I paired it all with a fantastic tempranillo on happy hour. My little had the pasta off the kids menu, which she loved, but I found a bit too al dente. She ordered the house made lemonade, which she declared tasty, but it was $5 for basically a shot of lemonade (see picture). She had to have at least two glasses- making it the most I've ever spent on a beverage at a meal for my daughter! All in, this is a wonderful addition to the Stanley.

    Devilled eggs

    The skinny: Solid food, good ambiance at Stanley marketplace. The overview: Came here for HH/Dinner for 3 and ordered a few things to share. Overall the food was solid and yummy, but for me fell a little short of an amazing 5 stars. - Devil eggs: a nice little snack but nothing too new or crazy flavor wise. - mussels: these were yummy in a simple yet flavorful light white wine sauce. A large amount of fries with house made ketchup and aioli as well. - asparagus: this missed the mark for me a little. The flavors on top were good, but the asparagus itself felt a little lacking. - Orecchiette: this was the favorite. Fresh pasta with a creamy sauce. Highly recommend. - Burger: solid burger ( but the patty itself was quite small). The bread was very good - but the patty to bread ratio seemed off with the large bun but small patty. Overall the sizing was on the smaller tapas side. We definitely could have ordered a bit more food but decided against it just because there is a lot of other options at the marketplace. Would I come back: If I'm in the area it could be a good stop - the pasta! Service and ambiance was good as well.

    Inside the Profiterole

    A definite "MUST VISIT" if you're in the area... everything from their interesting menu, to the beautiful, open-kitchen venue, to their amazing service was excellent! I dined solo as I was in Denver for work and reading online reviews pointed me to Annette. I opted to sit at the bar and the bartender, as well as various other staff did a great job keeping my needs met and my taste buds happy. If you go on a Tuesday, it's happy hour all night, so they have nice deals that are available throughout dinner service. They have a nice menu, filled with something for everyone and all items are shareable... Most are actually available in half portions too, which was great for me as a solo diner. I started with their deviled egg which was excellent and basic. Nothing fancy or crazy, just a very nicely seasoned yolk (filling) which tasted great. Next up was a half order of their Butter Lettuce and Tarragon salad. What an interesting and fun compliment for them to add a sunflower seed brittle to this salad! It offered a nice texture as well as a sweet bite that complimented the tarragon very nicely. This was such a perfectly dressed and plated salad that! Dinner course consisted of their orecchiette and since it featured Calabrian chilis, I asked for extra of those be included in the preparation. The half order looked small, but I couldn't finish it all. Definitely filling and packed with flavor. A slight bitterness from the lemon preserve and a nice heat from the Calabrian chili. Save room for dessert... They have several that looked amazing! My final course was simply a single profiterole and a scoop of their strawberry lime sorbet (separately, of course!). The profiterole featured a bay leaf ice cream inside it and homemade salted caramel on top. I'm not normally appreciative of caramel, but this was so good, I licked the spoon to get it all! The pastry dough was the best profiterole I've ever had! The combo of everything in a single bite was dreamy! Switching to the sorbet - Really Really Good! (But it's sorbet, what more can I say about it?). Highly recommend stopping in here... Make reservations though, they get busy!

    Went here as a solo diner while I was in the area for a conference. I didn't make a reservation but the staff was very accommodating. I got a nice seat at the bar where I could see the bartenders making drinks and the action in the open kitchen. Food was good but the experience would have been better for a couple or more - the idea seemed to be to share plates. The server suggested I get a half order of one of my selections which was a good idea. Unfortunately, they were out of several things I would have ordered. I got the deviled eggs, which were great, and the pork tonnato, which was just okay. To be fair, the server warned me that the plate was "a lot of protein." The tuna on that dish was more like tuna salad you make from a canned tuna but I was expecting it to be more like tuna tartar. It was my mistake for not asking for more details.

    Chicken liver pate
    Naquiyah C.

    It's a real nice cozy modern place. It's a great place to try some different things. It's certainly on the pricey side so be prepared. Food was good and the service was fantastic! Food is more of a tapas style for sharing. The liver pate was amazing I could have the whole thing to myself! Extremely silky smooth and the sweet Cherrys on top gave that nice salty sweet balance needed. The red peas dish is the bomb! Def get that! I was not impressed with the beef tongue, felt it needed a tiny bit of salt flakes or something else to level it up. Skate fish was the fish of the day. I have never had a sting ray wing fish before so was a new for me. It's a stringy like texture and it being grilled didn't have much flavor, even with the sauce I was not a huge fan and hence taking a star off Overall a great place to try

    Cool neighborhood vibe. Friendly service. Dishes had potential if couple were not over salted. Linguine was perfectly al dente. Fish was fresh and not over salted but the braising greens that came with it was very salty. The roasted chicken was tasty if the greens were not salty. Overall, a good neighborhood option that just needs some adjustments.

    Do people prefer dining room or covered patio during Jan / Feb months?

    Dining Room

    If you make a reservation for "enclosed patio" will you find yourself in yet another run-of-the-mill, crowded enclosed patio or are the awesome cozy greenhouses still up?

    The enclosed patio is attached to the restaurant. It is small and cute. A few months ago they still had their igloos up. I am sure you can call and confirm.

    Do we need a reservation?

    I'd recommend a reservation! Especially on busy nights (e.g. Fri and Sat). You can also call in to check availability

    Lady Nomada - The Duo

    Lady Nomada

    (46 reviews)

    Stapleton, Northeast

    My spouse and I had tried several times to get into Lady Nómada and finally learned that…read morereservations are essential -- it fills up by happy hour (2-5 PM) and stays busy through dinner. We had a 5:45 PM reservation but the dining room was already full, so we sat at the bar and were immediately offered menus, water, and house-made chips and homemade salsa (Aaaah-mazing salsa!). Service was friendly and welcoming from our server Hunter to the bartenders and food runners -- everyone was happy to chat. We sampled a couple cocktails (Elderflower Prickly Pear and the Spicy Mezcal). If you like mezcal, the Spicy Mezcal is a perfect balance of heat and bright citrus. The prickly pair is too sweet for my taste buds but love the presentation. For my entrée I tried the Nomada's Best of Plate -- a grilled taco, chicken enchilada (I added green chili), and crispy carnitas (I ate these with a tortilla). All three were excellent and distinct; the chicken enchilada was my favorite and likely what I'll order next time. My wife had the crispy carnitas fajitas -- a generous portion and very easy to eat thanks to a thoughtful presentation. Highly recommend -- just be sure to make a reservation.

    The good - food is fresh and good and the ambiance is cool…read more The bad - and this is insane, in my opinion - I was told (by the manager, it appears - guy with shaved head on the sides and back) that a salsa refill would be $5. A salsa refill. As in, the little cup of salsa that goes with the free chips. Have no fear, though, chip refills without salsa are free! I understand that restaurants are dealing with increased costs, but charging $5 for an extra small cup of salsa, especially when the entree is $24 (chicken fajitas) doesn't fly with me. $1? I can handle that.
