    Not the first time we come here and honestly one of the few good places in Black Hawk for some yummy food. They can get busy so make sure you allow for some wait time but it is worth it. Service has always been great despite the wait time. This place is open so you can still do lots of people watch with your dinner. The ramen is good, but their other dishes also satisfy. One recommendation are the pork buns so so good. The most recent ramen I tried was the wonton one and added some of the seasoning sauce which elevated the flavors of the broth. 10/10 and we sure will return although it turn out being a very expensive ramen experience . Stop by and get a nice warm bowl of ramen when the weather is cold up in the mountains

    The Tonkotsu Premium was absolutely amazing, rich, flavorful, and so satisfying. I ordered spice level 5 out of 10 and it was the perfect heat without needing any extra chili oil, the balance was spot on. The lychee drink was sweet and refreshing and paired so well with the ramen. I loved that they offer garlic on the side and being able to mince and add fresh garlic to my bowl was such a fun and tasty touch. The portions are super generous and I was completely full by the end. The house salad was bigger than I expected, but it had a bit of a bitter taste, maybe from the dressing. The pork bun was super juicy and tender. It was great for appetizer. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall an amazing and perfect ramen spot and I will definitely be back.

    That says it all!

    Awesome experience! Anthony was professional with a great vibe. Delicious cucumber salad, crispy chicken, and delightful matcha ice cream. Lovely ambiance!

    We came in for a late lunch and it wasn't very busy when we sat down but it got busy afterwards. We both ordered ramen and it didn't take too long to come out. I got the vegan red fire opal and my husband got the spicy chicken. We both really liked our ramen and my husband said it was some of the best ramen he has ever had. The service was slow getting our drinks refilled and my husband would have liked to order more noodles because he said the portion was a bit small. We would definitely come back here since not many restaurants in Blackhawk had vegan options and this place had several and serves impossible meat.

    First time having ramen that wasn't from a package. It was pretty good, waitress was friendly and explained things to us. The restaurant is in the Ameristar casino.

    JINYA is a MUST. The Birria Ramen and JINYA Chicken Ramen were delicious. The Matcha Tirumasu was the cherry on top.The staff from front to back are very welcoming and friendly. Jamiah was my server and I am definitely going to ask for her again. She was super attentive, knowledgeable on the menu and any questions I had especially when it came to substitutions, and just the sweetest! I can't wait to come back again for another one of a kind experience. Thank you!

    Came for a late lunch. It's in the first floor of the Ameristar casino. They were not busy but had to seat myself at the bar. The hostess was very nice when she arrived but she was also the server and bartender. I got the Jinya Tonkatsu Black and it was bland, I had to add salt. The broth was ok, the pork was not that defining. I've had ramen at other places and the taste was on point. I'm glad I tried it. It's a cute place and has a lot of options in the menu. If your around try.

    Disappointed with this location. While the host was friendly, the overall experience was underwhelming. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Ramen to-go, and it missed the mark completely--no spice, barely any flavor, and the broth was lukewarm. I also bit into a piece of cold chicken. I walked less than three minutes back to my room, so the temperature issue wasn't due to delay. What added to the frustration was a pricing discrepancy. When I tried ordering through their website, the total without tip came to $23.14, but I was charged $23.85 in person. It's not a huge difference, and I wouldn't have minded if the ramen had been good--but it wasn't. Strangely, they don't provide itemized receipts for to-go orders, only for dine-in. Maybe that's why--they can't clearly explain the pricing. Either way, it felt sloppy and disappointing for a place with such a strong reputation.

    The service could have been better, and the food was just okay overall. The restaurant is small and gets quite noisy, which made the atmosphere a bit hard to enjoy. That said, all the dishes looked delicious, and our favorite was the spicy shrimp tempura--it really stood out.

    JINYA Ramen in @ameristarbh was delicious! I ordered the JINYA Bun and the Tokyo Curry Rice. The pork belly on the bun melted in your mouth which is always a 50/50 chance when I've eaten pork buns before. The Tokyo Curry was delicious too, but didn't have a lot of chicken. The servers and manager were so nice! They were attentive and were always checking on our water levels which I absolutely love! The prices seemed pretty fair in my opinion too!

    Wow. Just wow…read more Nora's Speakeasy might be one of my favorite cocktail spots ever. The vibe is dark, elegant, and cool without trying too hard -- it really feels like a secret hideout (but in the best way). Drinks? Insanely good. Their "Nora's Version" menu reimagines classic cocktails with modern twists, and every single one we tried was a hit. Balanced, bold, and beautifully crafted. Food is simple but hits the spot -- charcuterie, grilled cheese, and pretzel bites that pair perfectly with the cocktails. Bonus: You get a welcome sip when you arrive! Such a fun touch that set the tone for a great night. Run, don't walk. Louisville, you've got something really special here.

The barista was super friendly, and I saw online they'd had a very sweet cocktail from a few years back - I asked her about it and she didn't have all the ingredients but offered to make me something similar. I declined because I felt like i shouldn't be drinking with my stomach feeling off, but it's exactly the type of place I like to check out, the menu was cool. I will definitely try to make it back one of these days when passing back through the area! Also had lots of free street parking all along the main road ~

    Man what happened to this place…read more. Jasmine used to be my favorite bar in the area. They provided a varied menu with incredibly unique and delicious drinks with an upscale yet cozy vibe inside. However our last visit was anything but. Supposedly they've made the decision to drop the entire "old menu" as the bartender called it in favor for an uninspired and honestly boring Christmas menu with drinks that weren't even remotely on the level of their previous offerings. Yet the prices were actually higher than their standards. This current menu feels like something you'd pay $11 for at a dive or chain restaurant. After a relatively long wait for service, we ordered 3 drinks, having to repeat ourselves multiple times to the hostess that didn't seem to have any clue of what their drinks were called. Of the 3, none of them included the garnishes that were outlined in the menu, and one drink was completely wrong. We were allowed to keep it and had it replaced at no cost at least, but even the replacement did not have the correct garnish per the menu. I'm praying this place didn't sell out and it's just in some strange transition period between seasons but I won't be returning to check until some time after the new year and these awful drinks are gone. For now, go to Nora's.

It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried!

Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

Despite the current ratings of less than 4 stars, I somehow was determined that this place would not disappoint. And my hunch was right; it didn't. We did make a reservation ahead of time. Upon arriving, we were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside to which we said inside (for a mid-October evening, the temperature outside was decent and yet we weren't sure about sitting outside the whole time. We made the right call. Occasionally the cool breeze came in from the side door at the bar (as it was left open; they said once closed it locks so it would inconvenience the people out in the open deck area to leisurely come in) and it felt a bit cold to our liking.) Inside was lively. The beautiful modern-looking lounge was filled with all kinds of chitchat by other guests. Our conversation was sometimes canceled by it where we had to talk into our ears but we certainly didn't mind it. Yes, the ambiance is what you come here for. He got the Juicy Bits IPA and I got the French red blend (Grenache and Cote du Rhone). We browsed the food section in the menu. Some looked interesting but we ended up not ordering anything as even though we ate lightly at the first restaurant we were still quite full from it. Our waiter (young male, I believe his name was Payton) was busting his bottom. When he was at our table taking our order he said he was pretty much the only one who was assisting with the guests in the main indoor area. He occasionally got help from his colleague. It appeared to be an understaffed night. We completely understood. Payton, you were pleasant to us; thank you. We truly enjoyed our drinks. FYI - Juicy Bits IPA is not on tap so even though they poured it into a glass the server couldn't pour everything into it so he brought the can as well (btw, it's a 16oz can.) As much as I enjoyed my bold red wine his IPA stole the spotlight at our table. He is a beer guy and he couldn't help but taking a photo of the can for future purposes/purchase. Juicy Bits is a local craft beer made in Greeley. Quite refreshing beer indeed. Well, we sat in our comfy couch for an extended period of time from 6:30 to 9pm. We both stepped outside to the open deck area for a quick view earlier in our dining experience. And we must say that this is one of the best rooftop restaurants we've been to in the Denver area. We shall be back.
