Stepped in on one rainy spring day. Wasn't sure where the main entrance was but did find one through the patio area. There is also one by the 17th Ave which will be lot easier. It was very early so we got seated right away, served right away and got the food quickly. Just had to communicate with the server of time crunch we had for the event for the night. Our server was on top of it. Our server explained of American style tapas, shareable dishes. We got 3 things and they were all excellent. The miso cod was delicious, definitely prepared the asian way. The pear and gorgonzola pillow was unique but definitely will revisit. Im not much of risotto fan but my hot date loved it. I guess we will order that again. Overall, Eric our server was on top of it and we were very happy visiting Ollie & Park's.
We've been here, not once, twice, but three times! Rockin' happy hour with great food and drinks. See menu - which we've mainly ordered off of. Got the burger twice, fried green tomatoes all 3 times, short rib tacos twice, crab cake twice . . . I won't go on! Staff is friendly (even those that are there and not working!). Sad to see it not so busy! Negroni and Aperol Spritz are a hit for cocktails too!
We decided on Ollie and Park's for a date night and it was the perfect place. We made a reservation, the location is quite large and wasn't very full when we went on a week day night. We were greeted right away and sat quickly after. It was clear they were working with a small staff - 1 bartender, 2 or 3 wait staff and a host that was doing double duty. I was quite impressed at how they navigated everything and everyone. We ordered cocktails and... Pear & Gorgonzola pillows Pimento cheese Lamb ragu Tuna crudo Korean BBQ pork belly Neither of us care too much for Gorgonzola cheese but the appetizer was out of this world. It was unique, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Gorgonzola is wrapped in a homemade pasta and the pear is provided as a compote. I would have eaten my weight in these. But, we decided to try a few other dishes. The Korean bbq pork belly and tuna crudo were my favorite. I did enjoy that the lamb ragu was not overloaded in tomato sauce but that some Tomatoes, peas, and other veggies with a Light sauce and hand made pasta. I would definitely recommend for a business dinner or date night!
Starting with the positives: The staff at Ollie & Parks is SO friendly and accommodating -- truly a highlight of the visit. I also really love the concept of tapas and shared plates. On the food front, the meatballs were yummy, the oysters with pineapple spice topping were tasty and unique, the mussels were fresh and in a flavorful sauce, the blue cheese salad was good, and the crab cake was okay/good. Unfortunately, the rest of the food and experience fell short. Service was very slow -- it took about 20 minutes to get a single glass of wine, which was surprising since the restaurant wasn't full. As for the dishes: * The goat cheese, beet, and arugula salad had great components, but the vinaigrette was so bitter it overpowered the dish. * The calamari was very heavily breaded, with the inside soft and the squid extremely chewy. The sweet tartar sauce also threw me off -- we didn't finish it. * The pork belly had nice seasoning, but the pieces were overly fatty and the pickled veggies didn't balance it well. * The carrots were extremely overcooked to the point of being mushy, almost like sweet potatoes. * The risotto was the most underwhelming dish -- very liquidy in consistency (almost like unmixed yogurt) with chunks of what seemed like imitation crab. It neither tasted nor resembled risotto. Considering the prices aren't low, the misses felt more noticeable. Overall, I hate leaving such a critical review because the people working here were genuinely lovely, but I think it's important for diners to know what to expect. I hope they can make some tweaks because the concept and hospitality really are great!
There's a new restaurant in Uptown Denver--and I'm already a fan! Ollie and Park's opened last summer in a beautiful, airy space inside the Park 17 building. I was super impressed with their American Tapas concept, standout cocktail program, and the warm hospitality from Ned and Olivia. Let's dig in! What I tried: Grilled Caesar Salad: Lightly chargrilled romaine, shaved parmesan reggiano Pear & Gorgonzola Pillows: With butternut squash purée Tuna Crudo: House ponzu, candied grapefruit zest, toasted sesame, cilantro Sliced Wagyu Sirloin: 6oz Elevation Beef (Boulder, CO), served with bearnaise Roasted Carrots: With quinoa, dates, and carrot jus Pastel de Nata View from Fuji: Tokyo Japanese whiskey, guava, lemon, house cherry bitters, soda Buddy's Rendezvous: Watermelon-infused mezcal, lime, basil, Cointreau, salt Best bites: I've never had a chargrilled Caesar salad before--and now I'm wondering why I waited so long. It might just be my new favorite version. The roasted carrots were also a surprise standout--cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Both cocktails were light, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. Can't wait to go back and try more tapas and drinks!
Some of the best food I've ever had simply put , the selection of this place is top notch , the service was pleasant and perfectly paced and the patio was so beautiful on this day. What a lovely date night spot !!!!!!
I came for dinner with some foodie friends. The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and looks quite fancy with its white tables cloths and decor. We arrived at 5pm for our reservation as we like to eat early. I ordered the Pineapple Basil mocktail. It was delicious. The perfect sweet and tart combo. I would recommend adding a spicy kick to it! We orders a hodge podge of dishes to share including the beet salad, burrata, pear and gorgonzola pillows, roasted carrots, calamari, and waygu. We had macarons for dessert. My favorites were the beet salad, burrata, and gorgonzola pillows. The beet salad was refreshing. The burrata was extremely tasty. It is a hot burrata, not a cold burrata! That was surprising and I was pretty neutral on the texture of the cooked cheese but the sauce that was in that dish was very savory and tasty. I could dip bread in that all day. The shining star of the meal was the gorgonzola pillows. The pasta was cooked really well, the gorgonzola was present but not overpowering, and the little bits of sea salt shined through and paired super well with the butternut squash puree that was slightly sweet. A perfect bite. Also, how cute are these little pillow pasta folds! The macarons were delightful and perfectly sweet. The server was super nice and gave good recommendations. We did have to ask for a few things but no biggie. Overall, a good experience!
The service and food was phenomenal. Also the place is huge and wasn't super busy so would be great for a big party/group. Also they have a patio so seems great for brunch or summer vibes! Food: (1) Burrata: so unique, I wasn't expecting it. It's like in a tomato sauce and roasted. Thought it was delicious! (2) Beet salad: perfectly dressed! So fresh and delicious (3) Calamari: loved the breading; light and crispy and the sauce was so good (4) Pear and Gorgonzola pillows: incredible! A squash puree was to die for. The pasta was cooked to perfection. I dipped everything in that puree. (5) Carrots: A little lack luster. Didn't have much flavors and I would have loved it to (6) Wagyu Sirloin: Definitely needed salt. There was zero salt on it and it needed much more chimichurri if you ask me. Actually my least favorite dish even though I was most excited about it on the menu. I also would have loved for it to be sliced thinner instead of 4 giant chunks Overall, most menu items were great and I will be back!
Excellent service here. This is a beautiful restaurant in a fun location with a lot of different food and high quality drink options. Ryan and I came in to try a couple items and some drinks and plan on coming back soon for a full dinner. We came here during the fringe festival so it was nice to pop in here in between shows. I enjoyed the crab cake the most of what we got and Ryan was a fan of the Brie ! He loved his margarita and I went with one of their speciality cocktails that was made perfectly not too sweet and not too tart it was just right. We will definitely be making our way here again soon!
i have mixed feelings about this place. starting out with the good: really enjoyed the simple, modern decor and furniture. the host was extremely accommodating, and our server checked in regularly. additionally, my family said they enjoyed the mac burger and crab cake benedict. on to the bad: my breakfast platter was cold when it arrived. the eggs weren't fluffy or flavorful. also, the potatoes were bland and tasteless. definitely not worth $18. drink presentation and table decorations could use improvement. lastly, our water cups came out really wet, and my mom's had milky droplets inside. this has never really happened to me. kinda gross.
I came here for happy hour the other day and it did not disappoint. We basically tried everything on the HH menus so can't comment on their dinner menu. With the exception of the chicken slider (a bit overcooked and dry), everything was wonderful especially given the price point. The menu had a large variety for HH food and the portion sizes were pretty big. We had the tacos, pimento cheese, Mac and cheese, chicken sliders and grilled Caesar salad. I do wish the salad came with croutons instead of bread, but that's my personal preference. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I had the HH wine which was fine, but hey for $5 wine on the patio it wasn't too shabby. I fear the space is a bit too big and there weren't too many customers, but I'm hoping that it changes in the upcoming months. I also appreciate the dishware, which was more upscale than your typical restaurant plates/silverware.
Run to this restaurant! AMAZING! Modern American Tapas--10/10 food and service!! I had a hard time deciding on what to pick and will be going back so I can try their full menu!! The seafood and veggies were so fresh and well prepared! They also had hardy duck pot pie that was out of this world! And the curried cauliflower is something I will get every time I go! This is the perfect mixture of Florida and Colorado dining! Ned and Jason (the owners) have really thought everything through from the menu to the comfortable seating in their restaurant!
Been meaning to check out this place. Eventually found time and went during Denver Restaurant Week on a Thursday. Had the DRW menu and most of it was tasty. I ordered the PEI Mussels for first course, Sliced Wagyu Sirloin for second, and Tiramisu for third. There was a surprisingly large amount of mussels per each order. There were five of us at the table and three of us had the mussels. It was a hit! The sauce was buttery with amazing flavor. The Sirloin was a bit of a dud. Not bad, but nothing to talk about. And, the Tiramisu was good. You could tell it was either chilled or frozen before as it was pretty solid. Some friends had the Shrimp Gnocchi as their second course and it looked like a very small portion. Though for a total of $35 for the DRW menu, it was definitely worth it! Overall, this place is solid and I would definitely go again to get a better feel for a regular day. The service was slow, but that might be because of DRW. The restaurant was pretty packed as well!
High-end place for tapas! I came with a friend on a Friday night and it was moderately busy. The ceilings are high, the staff are super helpful, and the vibe feels perfect for a classy date night. They have an awesome drink menu. My friend and I were both very happy our drinks. The tapas menu is also full of great options. We had the tuna steak, the beef steak, and some scallops. It was very delicious with great presentation. Very fine-dining. This is a little on the pricier side and you're not going to be full from just a plate of the tapas. However, the experience makes it worth it! If you wanna have a fine-dining experience without committing to like a $300 9-course meal, Ollie & Park's is the place to go! read more

My first visit to Ollie and Park's and it was a delight. My friend and I stopped here for happy hour after spending several hours at the Denver Botanic Gardens (also 5 stars), and we had margaritas (which we had them alter slightly so that they included orange liqueur), crab cakes and tacos! The staff was warm and welcoming as well as accommodating. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. What a wonderful way to end a beautiful day at the gardens - with a full stomach and a refreshing beverage. I would definitely go back, especially when I visit the gardens as it's an easy drive (and you could also walk). read more

Truly bizarre and unpleasant dining experience. My husband and I went for brunch and were surprised the menu was not tapas style at all despite being billed as such. I tried to order a cocktail and the first 3 I asked for were unavailable so the waitress just made something random off menu. We split a Caesar salad that was fine but it's hard to mess that up. We got the "hash" with short ribs and it was hardly hash. When they brought the hash out I thought they put tortilla strips on top of the potatoes. It was just those crispy, un-fork-able potato chips, a pile of shot ribs salted within an inch of their lives and some eggs. The service was bad. We got checked on once and if I didn't know any better, our waitress was fried or hungover. The decor was underwhelming and disjointed. Overall a waste of money. read more

This place was wonderful! We came at an odd time so it was pretty quiet overall. Our server was Hailey and she was excellent. We came during happy hour and got some cocktails, the truffle mac and fries, chicken sliders, short rib tacos and a steak. They even made me ranch/aoli! Everything was so delicious especially for the price point. This may have to be our new regular spot! read more

We loved everything we ate and that Albariño was so %#*!;$&@ crisp and refreshing!!!!! We had the chef bread and butter, beet salad. This was course 1. Heaven on earth especially that goat cheese. Then we traversed the flank steak which was sliced in such a way that was perfectly easy to eat and resembled the flat irons ..genius..., and fried green tomato. We weren't sure if we have eaten a fried green tomato before but we decided that if we did, it wasn't as good as this one, because this one was just so good. We finished our journey with some healthy carrots and then dove head first into a melting cheese delicious godlit pool of scalloped potatoes. Eating the scalloped potato felt like how I imagine our bottle of wine felt as it nestled into its cozy ice bath. Our server Hope was the star of the place. She was amazing and the only server for as far as the eye could see. I don't know what led to this understaff situation but she killed it. Now let me express some concern as well. When you pay the bill with a credit card, the tip line says "Additional tip" not just "tip" like normal. This confused me as I thought long and hard: was this a place with a tip pre-included? I'm not opposed to that! However I didn't think it was, and then I concluded this was not a place with the pre-included tip. So why the word additional? As if I already gave a tip...and then had a place to make an additional one? Maybe i'm crazy Frankie with too much Albariño . But my point here is that the service was really good, and I would hate to think that others might be confused and leave less because of the wording there in this day and age where it's not uncommon to have a gratuity built in. So ya anyway thank you Ollie and thank you Park and thank you Hope and thank you kitchen staff and bartender too. We will be back xoxoooooo Frankie read more

We had an amazing date night at Ollie and parks, pictured here were the pear and Gorgonzola pillows with butternut squash purée. The volcanic sea salt sprinkled on the fresh pasta pockets were absolutely perfect, and the crab cake was too good to wait for a picture. Our server Richie provided excellent explanations for all of the dishes as well as a very descriptive offering for daily specials. Ambience was top notch, presentation was exceptional, and the service was unparalleled. This neighborhood gem is not to be missed. Yet another "new favorite restaurant" review. Hats off guys! read more
