Savinas menu
Melissa J.

Savina's was highly recommended to us by the valet at the hotel we were staying at. It was a close walk. The restaurant was not very full when we got there but it was early and it was filling up when we were leaving. The homemade tortilla chips were awesome. They had just the right amount of salt. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and my husband ordered the pork burritos. Mine could have had a bit more chicken but it was still delicious. My husband said his was good although they put too many onions on top (if I had to guess it was 1/3 of an onion chopped-a little rediculous). He also had a Catalan margarita that was tasty. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. He talked to us about how he came to Denver from the east coast and liked it here. Overall, we would definitely recommend Savina's and if we are back in the area we would eat here again.

Chile Rellenos
Christian C.

Savina's has such a beautiful interior--it feels warm, inviting, and makes for a great place to catch up with friends. I met up with an old coworker here, and the atmosphere was perfect for sitting and talking without feeling rushed. I ordered the chile rellenos, and they were absolutely delicious. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

Chicken fajitas
Daniel T.

Savina's was great spot to check out in the downtown Denver area. The upscale vibes make this the perfect spot to grab dinner or margaritas with a group. The food was amazing as my wife and I got the fajitas to split. The warm handmade tortillas were delicious! The fajitas came with a spicy verde sauce that we couldn't get over. The restaurant overall was clean, inviting, but a little loud. I'm not too old so it didn't bother me, but just a note. Service was amazing and had no complaints there.

Steak and shrimp fajitas
Sokha L.

Savina's was a great choice while we were in town for a convention. We made reservations ahead of time, and it came highly recommended by a local friend--which always feels like a good sign. It's a solid Mexican spot with a lively atmosphere. The place was very busy, and the bar was packed, so it took a little while to get our drinks--but once we did, it was worth the wait. We ordered margaritas, and they were delicious and clearly made with fresh ingredients. I had the jalapeño margarita, and it definitely had a kick--in a good way. Just a heads-up for anyone who isn't great with spice. The food overall was good, and our waiter was super friendly, attentive, and helpful despite how busy it was. I'd absolutely dine here again the next time I'm in the area.

Chips and salsa
Candace S.

My coworkers and I went to Sabina's for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon which was formerly La Loma. This was my first time there and pleasantly surprised! The chips and salsa were fresh and very tasty. The wait staff was also very attentive. I ordered a mocktail along with their Acapulco Grilled Chicken Salad. Both were delicious! The portions were also HUGE so come hungry or be prepared to have leftovers.

Shrimp was overcooked, beans and rice were good
Jim C.

This looked like a nice well decorated restaurant. The booths were very comfortable, they bring you good salsa and chips when you sit down. Service was a little slow even though it was late afternoon and not very busy, they were understaffed. Unfortunately, I couldn't recommend the food. I ordered the tequila shrimp, and while the rice and beans it came with were tasty the shrimp was overcooked and tough.

Enchiladas
Hilary B.

We came here on a Saturday night without a reservation and were able to walk right in but we also got there quite early at around 5. The service was great and the waiter routinely checked in on us. I ordered the enchiladas and got one chicken and one brisket and also half green chile and half red sauce. I liked the brisket better and the green chile was very flavorful. They also bring you unlimited chips and salsa and the chips come warm and fresh. It is more of an upscale Mexican restaurant and a good place for a couple people or even large groups.

Chimichangas
Tina C.

Come here for the green chile and shredded beef (in burrito/enchilada/chimichanga/etc) and you're go to go for the whole meal. Other things are good too (guac, salsa, chips, beans, rice, chicken) but the green chile and beef are incredible. Can get pretty busy even on a weekday evening so food may take 20-30 min to come out, and parking is tough but there is paid street parking or garage nearby. Rustic vibes, on the fancier end of Tex Mex.

Ian T.

I think in transition of the rebranding, something was lost. This former Denver hidden gem felt soulless - our server was spotty, barely speaking to us, which maybe speaks more to being overcapacity. The food was basic, chimichanga not crispy nor flaky, filled with very plain brisket - which was tough. Same with the tortilla soup, it was okay, but the chicken was somehow dry and tough? Quality is okay, but this spot lacks the flare it once had. Come here for drinks and the green chili, the rest feels manufactured.

Sampler & free chips and salsa
Sunnie W.

First time here with my partner. We came in around lunch time today and it wasn't very busy. Darkly lit, relaxed atmosphere. Our server was amazing, super sweet, great energy. She had been at the restaurant for 9 years and explained that some minor family mishap created the split and change in names of the place. Savina's Sampler: 4/5, good sample of their food options & green chile if you mainly wanted to try everything without committing to food with a lot of rice and beans. Good balance. Beef Brisket Chimichanga Combo (1 chimichangas with rice and beans instead of the specialty that came with two. Was quite full from the sampler). 3.5/5, the food is good, we got red chile instead of green to try it and didn't love it as much. Lots of rice and beans.

Julie C.

The green chili rellanos are so delicious they are worth the visit by themselves. Additionally the portions are huge, service is friendly and location is quiet in a good way.

Beef brisket Chimichangas with green chili sauce.

Why were these the best chimichangas I have ever had in my life? The brisket inside was perfection. The green chili sauce, an out of body experience. I was even given a homemade tortilla to dip in the green chili. I was in heaven. Mauricio was an attentive server and made this an experience. A must stop for any visitors! Go Bills.

Pollo Tampico
Jon P.

Honestly, this was the best Mexican I have ever had in my life: chips were extremely crisp, meal was juicy with flavor, the atmosphere was high class and very well kept, service was professional and, and it all came at a great rate. Check this place out!!

Is a reservation a must? I'm trying to go Saturday evening but there are no openings until 9PM.

You should call the restaurant. If they are fully booked until 9 PM, you might want to choose another restaurant.

How is parking?

Parking downtown can be difficult and there is very limited parking on that block. I'd recommend using the valet service (Mon-Fri at 5pm, Sat/Sun at 11am), using Uber/Lyft, or taking the RTD.

How is outdoor seating going to look during Denver's cold winters?

Most tables are on the patio with overhead heaters. They are pretty toasty. There are two tables outside the patio on the sidewalk. Those aren't heated, and aren't too comfortable after the sun goes down.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.
