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!

Cocktail menu

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!

Crab cakes

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!

Me and my love having a drink before dinner

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 !!!!!!

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.

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!

Beet salad
Ali W.

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.

HH tacos
Jennifer B.

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.

Loved her humor and her style! I also appreciated it when she pulled out some readers for my friend when he was trying to read the menu with the flashlight on his phone. They have a nice selection of wine to choose from by the glass as well as flights. They also offer snacks and charcuterie, as well as beer, seltzer, and non-alcoholic drinks. I decided to try a 'build your own' flight to see which of their wines I would choose for a full glass. I shared my palate preferences, and all selections were excellent. Prices are reasonable and pours are generous. I also have to give a nod to the artwork on their logo. I am an artistic person myself and appreciate the creativity of the name of the business, the product they sell, and the overall concept being blended into one. Take a closer look at it! Definitely a place I will be revisiting!

There's plenty of comfy seating to lounge on, as well as a bartop for folks to sit on.

When coming in, there are menus by the front door. When I went, it was around 11am on a Sunday, so it was pretty crowded. They have a food pop-up in the back patio that rotates between vendors, to my understanding. The back seating area is covered and has two space heaters nearby.

We loved the ambiance, feeling like we'd really discovered a gem off the beaten track, pun intended. By joining the club, it was a monthly excuse to plan a special night out to what became one of our favorite places for date night. It's been a couple of years now, but we had occassion to meet the owners, when we mistook their closing time for an hour later. The lights were still on, so we didn't realize our mistake, until they'd already invited us in to exchange our monthly growler with such warmth. Super nice people, reflecting the vibe we always felt on our other visits. The staff echoes that disposition, always friendly and knowledgeable. Though the winery isn't on-site, I've always been impressed with their tasting experience. I've now been a member for over 5 years, going in at least once a month, and they still suggest trying seasonal options and have broadened my palette...
