Always a good time at Shanahan's. From the moment you enter, you know you're in for a decadent experience. You can count on the food to be the same, high quality as it always is. Starting with the jumbo gulf shrimp, I knew I was once again in for a treat. The shrimp was absolute perfection and the cocktail sauce, though a little bit heavy on the horseradish, was divine. The bread and butter for the table is always a good staple-but of course- try not to fill up on bread before the main course! I always go with the steak here, though there are other options of course. The filet was cooked to my preference of medium perfectly making the steak perfectly tender and juicy. The side options included creamed spinach and roasted garlic mashed potatoes which were also perfection and were even better the next day. A to-go box was definitely in order. The blueberry cheesecake to finish the meal was a great way to wrap it all up. Service is always great as expected. Our server definitely checked on us a few times and was so very friendly and knowledgeable. While pricey, Shanahan's is worth it! read more

Ambiance - average. Layout is weird, always feel like ure in the middle of smthg. Service - good, no complaints. Food - a lot to ask for: a. Hamachi sashimi - drowning in sauce, way too salty. good fish but dont drown it, had to dap it with a napkin to dry it and fix it b. beet salad - its good.. just needs salt or more cheese - too bland c. Steak - fucked up the steak. Asked for Medium +, got reassured they can do it, got a rare steak. They took it back and cooked it more but it doesn't fix it .. just makes the edges burnt and inside is still rare... who cares if your plates are scorching hot - focus on making a good steak! i had to hibachi mine - better cook tableside since your chefs dont know steak temps read more

Food is 10/10! Everything is so amazing and cooked to perfection and so full of flavor. The restaurant is large and tables are a little close together but it doesn't ruin the experience. You can't hear the convo of your neighbor which is good. I believe our serve was new because she was a little on the slow slide, didn't know how to use the crumb sweeper, messed up our check, however she was so nice! This place is romantic and a great place to celebrate special occasions. We were celebrating our anniversary and the server/ hostess didn't even ask if there was a special reason we were dining with them, which they have in the past. The table next to us was also celebrating an anniversary and they had put rose pedals on the table for them which is a really cute touch. read more

Returned to Shanahan's for a dinner presentation in one of the smaller conference rooms. Service was excellent and timed well. Along with bread service, we were given a half portion of their Jumbo Gulf Shrimp Cocktail and a choice of salad. I selected Shanahan's salad, a tasty blend of three lettuces, English cucumbers, tomatoes, honey-smoked bacon, cranberries, strawberries, croutons, and champagne vinaigrette. Our entrée was a 4oz filet mignon with roasted garlic mashed potatoes & creamed spinach. I like my steak medium rare with a warm red center. My steak was a bit undercooked for my taste, more blue rare/rare. To finish off our meal, dessert was a slice of Colorado Clover Honey Cheesecake. It usually comes with blueberries, but due to my allergies, strawberries were substituted. Excellent meal with plenty of leftovers to bring home for another meal the next day. read more

This is a great place for a date night. We were in Denver for our 15th anniversary. My sister-in-law had recommended Oliver's, but my brother-in-law countered that we should switch to Shanahan's instead. I'm glad I took his advice! We had an early reservation as this was a last minute booking, and I didn't want to sit outside or at the bar. Being Sunday, we opted for the special prix fixe meal. I started with the wedge salad (chopped, per the recommendation of our server), the NY strip, and the chocolate mousse. My husband ordered the Caesar salad, the prime rib, and the cheesecake. We had an order of the asparagus and the garlic mashed potatoes for the table. The food was all excellent and abundant. Those salads were huge as appetizers (I took half home for an excellent lunch the next morning). The wedge salad had a little too much dressing, although I do love the dressing. I loved the heirloom baby tomatoes. My steak was perfection itself, and it was still delicious the next day for lunch. The sides were good. The chocolate mousse was also very tasty. My husband enjoyed all of his food. I tried some prime rib, and it was nicely tender. The wine list is pretty good. We got a 2010 Bourdeax, and it was served with all the required pomp. It was perfect for our meal. Service was excellent. The setting was very nice. I had asked for a quiet table, and that's what we got. It was a very relaxing and delicious meal. read more

A really good place to get steaks and drinks. Wonderful service to top it off. Let me start with saying I have visited many high end steakhouses all over the states. Most are comparable but Shanahan's is on the higher side. We ordered a couple of steak Delmonicos that came out perfectly medium rare. One of the better I have eaten in a while. The sides could be a little better. Caesar salad was overdressed. The green beans, mash potatoes, and fried calamari were good. Overall a very good experience. Highly recommend. read more

Tonight friends and I celebrated my retirement. I've been here before and thought it fitting since I had a great time last year here. Food wise and service wise we were impressed. The food came out as we requested as well and you definitely got plenty on your plate. They have a Sunday three course meal that was also priced right. Ernesto our server was very attentive as well. The only downside is that they stopped giving military discounts since when I last came here. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday, he loves steak! Probably everyone knows this, but this is something we learned when we were at the restaurant, Mike Shanahan who was the head coach to the Broncos for many years owns this restaurant. In the restaurant you can even see a whole display case in the front with a Lombardi trophy and super bowl rings! We started off with the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. We absolutely loved it the wagyu was so tender, a great start to the meal. I got the crab and prawns and the Tech tequila to drink. I am always a bit iffy about eating seafood in Denver since it is far from the ocean, but the seafood was very fresh! My husband got the Wagyu Rib Eye Satay. He really liked his meal. Since it was my husband's birthday they gave us a complimentary dessert. The restaurant was very clean. It reminded me of a restaurant that would be in Northern Virginia. I really liked the vibes of it, more sophisticated and elevated, everyone was dressed nicely. I think it is a great place for a special occasion, especially for men. Prices are high, but I thought the experience and food was quite memorable and it make my husband's birthday special to come here! I would definitely come back! read more

An unexpected treat for an unexpected night out. I cannot say enough good things about David, our server, and ALL of the staff. It felt like they went out of their way to make it a fancy night out for us even though we were not dressed or prepared for the occasion--an impromptu big life event/birthday. The lobster and crab cocktail? Delicious. The scallops? Divine, that buerre blanc was masterful. Ribeye was wonderfully well cooked, cheesy and savory potatoes au gratin. Excellent wine recommendation, and a dessert on the house for my birthday was a thoughtful touch. We will certainly be back for another lovely dinner. read more

I had really high expectations for Shanahan's, and was really let down. Typically, I've had really good experiences at high end, high price tag, fine dining establishments. Shanahan's missed the mark for me, unfortunately. The food was just "ok", honestly. Not the best steak I've had, the fillet was actually quite tough (I ordered medium rare) and really, very salty (and I'm not a "low sodium" person- I love salty stuff.) For a $70+ steak, I was expecting much The wedge salad was nothing to rave about. It arrived absolutely drenched in dressing. Very little of anything except lettuce and dressing. It was really disappointing. Very small scoop of mashed potatoes and 3 stalks of asparagus. Pros of the wait service: made sure waters were filled consistently. Otherwise- they seemed disorganized and just generally unhappy. I was completely skipped at my table (everyone else had their order taken) and when I went to gently ask the server if I could have mine taken, he snapped at me saying "we aren't done yet" okay, but every single person at my table had their order taken and then I was skipped while sitting right there... And upon coming back, loudly said "yeah, the chick in the white sweater" to the other server while I was sitting right there and I could obviously hear them talking about me. Super weird situation that I can't say I've ever experienced, especially not at an establishment like this. The female wait staff who was helping run food had a horrible attitude. I went to the restroom and upon returning, glared at my soul because I guess I was "in her way"; I said excuse me and quickly got out of her way (tight fit between seats) and she just looked at me like I did something to her. Just a big yikes all around. As a healthcare professional, who also waited tables to put myself through school, this entire dinner was just not it. We take care of you when you're sick; and this is how we are treated in return. I only mention this due to the fact I was attending an educational dinner with my company, and it's not a secret that we are doctors, nurses, and other healthcare personnel in attendance. The poor treatment was disheartening. I've had really good experiences at Ocean Prime, Del Frisco's, STK, Eddie V's. I would prefer any of these establishments in comparison, in terms of food, service, and experience. read more

Trying to figure out where we wanted to go...Shanahans or Elways. Shanahans much closer to our hotel, so that settled it. A little noisy and crowded. But that was my only "negative" and that's only b/c I'm old and was tired. Bread....soooooooo goooooood. I loved the crispy top covered with goma. I could just eat that bread all day. And the butter nice and salty. Me, hubs, cousin all got the NY. It was perfectly cooked and delish. Baby ate some, but think she was tired by then. Best part was the service. We ubered from a friend's house after the Broncos game (and some drinks). Baby's car seat + a cooler bag and backpack. They held it in the front for us. For some reason, Hubs only grabbed carseat when leaving. Oh no. They called us to let us know thankfully, but couldn't make it back in time before closing. We were all leaving the next day, so panic set in, but people in house at 10am. They were so nice and helpful. So thankful... read more

Was in town visiting and came here to celebrate a birthday. Service was top notch from our server. Can't go wrong with escargot to start. Bone in aged ribeye was perfectly cooked and tender! Sides are shareable! The seafood tower I felt was a little lackluster for 69/person. Complimentary valet out front. Make reservations. read more

Always a wonderful experience at Shanahan's. Timely service, moody ambiance, and obviously amazing food. This was the first time I ordered anything other than a steak and I was not disappointed. I had the Chicken Tuscany, this is such a well-balanced dish, I even had leftovers. They're always able to split checks with big parties no problem and the complimentary valet makes the experience that much more seamless. Lifetime customers right here! read more

We had such a wonderful time at Shanahan's Steakhouse! I love to explore different places but can't beat the fact that you always know what to expect at Shanahans. Even when it comes to little details, such as valet parking, coat check, kind recommendations and deep knowledge of every single item on the food menu and wine list. We got escargot and crab cakes as appetizers, and they were wonderful! My Caesar salad was so filling and absolutely delicious. Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked and one the best ones I've had in a while. You would expect for all the steaks/meat to be delicious but their seafood is really good as well. I thought the prices were reasonable for what you get. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend it for a special event! read more

Vibe and Ambiance at this restaurant was great! Its a more intimate atmosphere and the restaurant is obviously very fancy! Service was great. Food was disappointing unfortunately. I ordered the Ribeye steak medium and got it super rare. Server said that he knows people expect a pink center but at Shanahans when someone orders medium its usually red. Didnt make sense to me but whatever. My friend ordered the Australian Wagyu New York Strip medium rare and it was overcooked. Now that I think about it, what could have happened was the server mixed up the cooking times between my friends steak and my steak. Either way, i just didnt think the ribeye was worth $79 and that Wagyu Steak was definitely not worth $105. Brussel sprouts and caeser salad were good. Nice place to go on a date to impress someone. read more

Amazing food and ambiance, steak was served perfectly cooked and drinks were all top notch.

This steakhouse seems far more interested in projecting an air of exclusivity than actually providing a welcoming dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the staff comes across as dismissive and overly pretentious, which completely overshadows the food and atmosphere. Dining out should feel enjoyable, not elitist. Unfortunately, the snobbery here makes it hard to justify a visit, especially when there are plenty of other places that offer great food and genuine hospitality. I'd suggest Eddie V's for a better dining experience in the same area and if you want a great steak, Guard and Grace is everything that Shanahan's lacks. read more

Went for Easter dinner and had a 7/10 experience. 1. Service was very good. 2. Salad was a disappointment. 3. Corn had a lemony taste, not good at all. 4. Prime rib had too much pepper and peppercorns on the actual steak, not enjoyable to eat. Overall, it was a mediocre experience, sorry to say. read more

OMG. When you walk in - first of all - it LOOKS like a great steakhouse. We had made reservations, and we were seated immediately at a beautiful table. It was hard not to get full on the bread and butter. My wife had the Caesar salad and I had the house salad and lemme tell you, if I'd had better somewhere else, I don't know where it was. I had ribeye, green beans, and they served me an absolute mountain of Parmesan French fries. Amazing. Steak was properly cooked - and I got bearnaise on the side. Excellent steak. Properly cooked. Perfect!!! It was a struggle to finish my steak. Finally we had key lime and vanilla ice cream. I was pissed off - it was so good. I do that sometimes, I get a little angry when food is knocking my socks off. I want to go back sooooo soon. read more

The food was genuinely great, fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the service at the bar didn't match the quality of the food. The bartender/server dropped off a menu and then never returned to take my order; she was busy chatting with other guests at the bar, so I eventually had to flag down someone else just to order. When it came time to pay, she took my card and left it sitting in a glass for more than 20 minutes before returning it, which meant even more unnecessary waiting. Overall, amazing food but disappointing bar service. With more attention and follow-through, this could easily be a five-star spot. read more

I was given a gift card to here and my husband love a good steak. We're fairly new to the Denver area so we're still discovering out go to spots. We are in love with this place! Very cute ambience for a nice night out. Also, our wiater and bartender were so nice and helpful. Gonna shout out the waiter for being from my home town. We both got the bone in cowboy with potatoes au gratin and the baked potatoes. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I loved every bite. We shared the lemon cake dessert which my husband even loved and he's not a huge lover of lemon baked goods. We are fans and will come back in the future. read more

Shanahan's Steakhouse delivers a winning combo of ambience, service, and cuisine worthy of its namesake. From the moment you walk in and spot Mike Shanahan's Super Bowl Lombardi trophies, you know you're in for a first-class experience. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm--perfect for a special occasion, though we came on a regular night and felt right at home. The service was outstanding throughout: attentive without being overbearing, with thoughtful touches that elevated the evening. As for the food: every dish was excellent. I had the New York Strip, cooked to perfection with just the right char. My wife enjoyed the colossal crab and prawns, which lived up to their name in both size and flavor. Our daughter ordered the lobster mac and cheese, and we all ended up sneaking bites. For dessert, we tried the Signature Lemon Shortcake. It was clearly fresh and well-prepared, though a touch too tart for our tastes. Highly recommend. We'll be back! read more

This place is absolutely beautiful! From the moment I walked in, the service was on point, super friendly and attentive. I started with a glass of red wine and the lobster bisque, which was rich, flavorful, and full of real chunks of lobster (no skimping here!). For my entrée, I got the trout over a corn and potato hash, it was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and a surprisingly big portion. Every bite was amazing. Honestly, this meal hit every mark! Great vibes, great service, and incredible food. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Going early always gives us a better experience. Wait staff were friendly and un-harried, drinks were perfectly made, and the food was presented very attractively and tasted great. Can definitely recommend the trout as a marvelous choice. Had the shrimp cocktail and was a bit disappointed that the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery as well as only 4 pieces for $30. But overall a great evening and fine restaurant with a warm ambiance. read more

We made reservations here for our anniversary for sunday around dinner time. They have complimentary valet and self parking options. Parking was not an issue at all. When we arrived we were greeted quickly and said that our table will be ready soon. We probably waiting around 5 mins. This place is very romantic and had very good ambiance. The dining area didnt reek of steak and smoke which I really appreciated. We came on sunday for their $89 prime rib sunday deal and it was quite a delight. They decorated our table with rose petals which was a very nice touch for our anniversary. The prime rib deal consists of a soup or salad starter, choice of meat, sides, and a desert. This was a really good deal. The lobster bisque was elevated with a half claw of lobster meat in the bisque. It paired well with the bread. The sides were good. Broccoli is steamed and came with a lemon. The mashed potatoes had a very strong garlic flavor and was very delicious. The steak was phenomenal. The plate that it comes on is VERY hot and kept the steak warm the whole time I was eating. This was a super nice touch. Additionally, the steak was cooked perfectly and super tender and soft. It had the consistency of wagyu without the fattines. Definitely a good cut of meat and its big! The steak really didnt need anything aside from salt and pepper. Our deserts were good, nothing crazy but a good way to end the meal. They also gave us an extra dessert for our anniversary. We got amazing service the whole time we were there. Our server checked on us throughout and many other people checked in on us as well. My water was never empty. Our courses came out in a reasonable amount of time and we never felt rushed. This is definitely the place to splurge on for a special occasion. I will definitely come back! read more

Went there for New Years. My husband ordered the ribeye and I got the New York. We also got a Caesar salad, fries, and the truffle Mac and cheese. Steaks were pretty flavorless. Our server was very dry and only became nice towards the end of our meal. Immediately once coming home I had major painful diarrhea.

Solid, consistent, tasty with a phenomenal wine list and a beautiful patio. Pricey but steaks done right.

One of the best dang dinners I've had in awhile. Started off with Espresso Martini at the bar and woweee I was tipsy after 1 - the martini was super smooth but intoxicating. My guest got the lemon drop equally fantastic. Sat down for our rest and started with the oysters which were delish, warm bread awaited us and was fresh and crusty. Next the wedge salad we split I will say it was overly creamy for me I wish it had a contrast of balsamic drizzle. Dinner was Delmonico cooked medium it had a thick peppercorn crust. I got the cognac peppercorn sauce and it definitely calmed down the peppery crust. For a prime the steak was delish. I ate about 1/3rd and was full with the Au Gratin and Creamer Spinach. Food was super rich so come hungry. We got the chocolate mousse cup as we celebrated a bday and they comped $10 which was nice. My guest got the scallops appetizer I personally didn't love but they were well made and all the food was PIPING HOT (temp wise) which is always a good sign of a great kitchen. Overall for 2 the bill was $300 with 2 drinks but I left well satisfied vs another steak house I visited earlier this year read more

Ugh - have to update that this steakhouse has truly gone downhill as several other reviews report. I waited three visits before writing this because I wanted to still love the place. Steaks are not well cut, bombed out with black pepper for some inexplainable reason, and just not very good overall. Where's the chain on the ribeye? Why is it still raw unless you let sit for ten minutes on the sizzling plate? Just serve it on a warm plate at the right rested-temp! Still super expensive and I'm not sure what the heck is going on in the kitchen but it's not good. Fix it. read more

Came with my family to celebrate my aunt's 50th birthday! We were greeted with very nice service starting from the valet to when we were seated. The ambiance was very modern, dim lighting vibes. Daniel was a great waiter and very patient with my family as we were getting situated and figuring out our order. We ordered a variety of items: Apps: Escargot (kind of salty for us, but the bread was great) Octopus Main Entrees: Wagyu Tomahawk Wagyy Strip Porterhouse Chilean Sea Bass (all loved this dish) Collosal crab cake and prawns (everything was delicious including the sauce) Ahi Tuna Sashimi Sides: Garlic Mashed Potatoes Creamed Corn Brussel Sprouts Mac n cheese (truffle & the lobster one) Loaded baked potato The steaks were all delicious and cooked to what we each ordered perfectly.

Great atmosphere. Overrated food, insane prices. Underwhelming taste. Nothing special and I've eaten great food in several countries and around the US. Truly nothing to brag about.

To celebrate my husband's 30th, I treated him with a night at Shanahan's. We made a reservation for Saturday evening and were seated shortly after arriving- they seemed very busy that night. They have a great wine program and we were both happy with our selections that night. Bread is brought to the table and we also decided to split the yummy Shanahan's salad- the portion is perfect for two people as a starter. For our meals, my husband ordered the ribeye and I got the filet mignon with the croquette and added shrimp to the side. We also ordered mashed potatoes and carrots for sides to share. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and everything was cooked to absolute perfection. The filet was tender and was perfect with the cabernet sauce. I was also happy I decided to add shrimp as it was a perfect pairing. My husband's ribeye, though, was the easy standout. They pride themselves on their steaks and for good reason. It was so flavorful and tender, we were truly delighted with it. The mashed potatoes were garlicky and buttery in all the right ways and the carrots were both sweet and savory and very good. The meal ended with a complimentary espresso mousse to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was the perfect ending for an incredible meal. Our one complaint was the music. It was a little too loud and the selection was weird- like odd club mixes of throwbacks (I'm talking a remix of Dido's "Thank You"). It's not that I dislike that kind of music (I do enjoy it!) but it just seemed a bit odd? But it certainly wasn't enough to deter us from wanting to return. It's pricey, which we totally expected, but the food really is worth it, so we'll be back to celebrate another big occasion! read more

I've been to quite a few high end steak houses this one was middle of the road at best. We had a large party and they had one table to accommodate us. Well we were sat 45 minutes late because the party at the table wouldn't leave staff did nothing to move them along after they paid their check. The food was mediocre at best. Lobster bisque did have one large chunk of lobster but steak was tasteless. The fact that we waited for them to clear a table that was finished and just chit chatting was inexcusable read more

This place went downhill since last time I was here. Atmosphere was still great and server was attentive. Steak was almost raw, fries weren't hot and key lime pie was just ok. At their prices, the food should be better. read more

I will give this restaurant a 4-star review. For the price, I expected more than outstanding taste and food. I was not too impressed and I had better. The service, however, was outstanding! I think the restaurant is kind of dark. I barely saw the menu, I had to pull out my flashlight from my phone. The ambiance is also more industrial than romantic for my taste. I also think the music needs to be less hip pop, Here we are in a 5-star restaurant, and you hearing Beyoncé's, and similar singers. For a fine restaurant, you also need a fine, good-quality of music, not garbage. The leftovers were packaged for us, such thing a is rare nowadays. Shanahan's Steakhouse it okay, maybe better than just good. It just not one of my favorites. read more
