    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    They even have their name on the steak knives!

    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!

    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.

    The food was really good. The only thing I didn't like was that the place is so loud! The dining room is like a night club if you are into that type of atmosphere. I like things a little more calm and private if I could have it my way. But the food is amazing! Definitely the best steak I've had in town.

    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.

    Seafood tower for 2
    Anh N.

    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.

    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!

    Caesar Salad
    Irina R.

    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!

    Prime Ribeye - 6/10 - i ordered it medium and it was definitely rare/almost raw in some parts
    Eddy H.

    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.

I typically order my filet medium, but when it arrived, it was prepared medium-rare. I flagged my server, who was incredibly polite and took my plate back to the kitchen to have it fixed. Several minutes later she returned, but to my surprise, they had only cooked the outside while the center remained medium-rare. I was really disappointed and declined a third attempt, as recooking the same piece of meat completely defeats the purpose. What saved the review entirely was the exceptional service recovery. My initial server was incredibly kind, apologized, and offered a complimentary glass of Sauvignon Blanc. She had to take a break, and another server, Tyler, manned the section. After hearing about the situation, Tyler recommended a birthday dessert, which I happily accepted, and it was indeed tasty. I expected much more from a Michelin-recommended restaurant, but the two servers completely redeemed the evening by graciously comping the meal to make up for the dull kitchen experience. Exceptional hospitality!

We started with the focaccia (with the ricotta and honey on the side) and it was so tasty. My partner doesn't normally like ricotta, but loved this dish! Then, we had the melon salad (very refreshing). We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff brought out complimentary glasses of bubbly rosé, as well as their special dish, which were the stuffed squash blossoms. This was a really thoughtful touch! For mains, we ordered the tagliatelle with lobster (this dish had a tiny bit of spice, which was fine for us but might catch someone else off guard), and the lamb loin. Both were excellent. Overall, we had a great time! We found easy street parking nearby, as well. My only downside would be that, because this restaurant is so popular, there are lots of diners, which makes for a pretty loud atmosphere.

As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit.

The horseradish which accompanied the dish was milder than mayonnaise but still tasted nice and it was definitely better than the ketchupy stuff that also came with the plate. The buffalo prime rib was tender and not gamey at all. The (beef) steak was nice. They also offer other game animals like elk and quail. Our server was wonderful. She gave excellent recommendations. You can't discuss this restaurant without mentioning all the stuffed animals everywhere and the zillion animal heads mounted on the walls. It takes a little getting used to. The bar upstairs is very cool and is worth a visit but you want to dine downstairs for the best ambience. The food is good but not amazing. Call me a dumb tourist but this is a unique, fun place.

    You probably can't beat this location as far as interesting decor and an accompanying story is…read moreconcerned. We spent a good amount of time after our dinner just exploring and learning. Very, very cool. We started with Rocky mountain oysters because we were feeling spicy. They were fine - you can fry anything and make it palatable. Overall, food was yummy but holy cow, was it expensive!! Definitely don't come here if on a cheaper budget. I did enjoy the interesting selection of meats and it was all cooked perfectly. The sides weren't mind-blowing (for that price I expect to be wow'd) and if you're a vegetarian, you're options are very limited. I had the cheesecake for dessert and it fell short of the mark, sadly. Large cocktail selection and their old fashioned was well made (again, high price tag). Service was friendly and plenty of staff happy to give a little history lesson. I would perhaps return to bring someone very into meat and history, but outside of that would pass.

    What a beautiful place! This should be a Denver landmark by now. It's so fun and different inside,…read moreit makes you feel at ease right when you walk in. The food was great too! The menu just has all the highlights. I was interested in almost every item on the menu. The salads looked delicious too which is always a good sign for me. We got the sugar steak (their staple) as the Wagyu filet, which was divine. And it was cooked to literal perfection at medium rare. It had gorgeous coloring with a dark color on the outside because of the sugar rub and the beautiful pink inside. We were upstairs and the string lighting is adorable. The service was a tad slow (had to ask multiple times for water) and the wine took a bit but otherwise fine. The pricing is extremely reasonable as well. We already booked our next dinner date for a few months out to try their other menu items. Omg and save room for dessert. The list is stacked!!! The crab cakes and bacon wrapped scallops were both phenomenal as well.

    We had such a wonderful time at the retro and wonderful Bastien's Restaurant! The food was…read moredelicious and there were huge portions. I was so impressed that the steak came with vegetables, a choice of potato style (I ordered the twice baked which was so good!) and a salad or soup. The drinks were tasty. There are seasonal specials as well as classic cocktails. A bonus was that our waiter was a lot of fun. This place has been around for decades and it's so nice to see how popular it still is! I LOVE the neon sign in the front of the restaurant. We liked the main floor seating because it had an open and classic vibe. We look forward to returning to this flash from the past! Free parking is available in back of the restaurant.

    After eying this place for while we finally tried it for a bottomless brunch + booze and it was…read moreamazing! Ambiance - 5/5, it's a trendy restaurant. We were able to easily bring our infant with us. Food - 5/5. The tapas at brunch are bottomless, we had several rounds of the spicy shrimp, steak skewers and the shishito peppers. So good! You get one order of the entree. My husband got the steak & eggs and I got the pork belly tacos. Sooo good! For dessert, the churros were amazing Service - 5/5! We were staying at the hotel Clio and my server offered me another Bloody Mary to go

    Great dinner at Toro Latin Kitchen with a large group, and everyone left happy…read more We started with the sweet corn empanadas, the clear highlight of the apps, sweet, warm, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Beef tartare was close behind, finely diced and well-seasoned. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, the prawns had a nice char, and the Amarillo ceviche brought a bright, citrusy heat from the aji amarillo peppers that balanced beautifully against the cool, tender fish. But the real highlight of the night was the steaks. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly, well-charred outside and tender inside, paired with the potatoes three ways, crispy, creamy, and roasted, each with its own texture and seasoning. Even better was the tomahawk ribeye, flambéed tableside in mezcal, a great bit of theater with a smoky, slightly sweet flame that infused the meat. I got lucky enough to try a bite. Rich, buttery, and delicious with heavy rosemary. A real treat. Service was a bit spotty for our group. I won't go into details, but our server disappeared for long stretches and it took a long time to finally get our entrees. This was likely because of our specific server.

    I visited for the first time on a Saturday evening. It was moderately busy but they seemed very…read morewell-staffed. We were immediately greeted and seated. The establishment has a fun vibe and is tastefully decorated. The live dj was fun to watch and listen to. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and even the wine list. They made great recommendations for food and drink pairings. They were very attentive and friendly throughout our whole visit. The bread that is provided as a starter was light and fluffy. It came with a great whipped butter and olive oil. I ordered the lobster pasta and it was amazing. It was a little spicy for me, but the tomatoes added freshness to the bite. They added a lot of lobster so the price felt fitting. My partner got the Australian steak. The meat was very tender and perfectly cooked. We also got the Brussel sprout which were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. We ordered a chocolate lava cake for dessert which was delicious. The cake was moist and melty on the inside. The berries and ice cream added a lot of flavor and freshness to it. They validated our parking for the garage next door which was a pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed our visit here

    Visited STK Steakhouse on 7/26/26. The ambiance was great, and the DJ created a fun atmosphere with…read moregood music. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. We ordered fried calamari, a medium-rare steak with fries and Brussels sprouts, four cocktails, and bottled still water. The service got off to a bad start. When our appetizer arrived, the waiter failed to notice that we had no utensils. After about five minutes of trying to get our waiter's attention, another server stopped by. In a joking way, I asked her to "try the calamari," hoping she'd realize we were missing utensils. Instead, she reached toward the food with her hand. I stopped her and pointed out that we didn't have any silverware. Her response was that calamari is "finger food" and should be eaten by hand. That's not the level of service I'd expect from an upscale restaurant charging premium prices. Things only got worse. Our waiter then refilled our glasses with tap water without asking, mixing it with the bottled water we had ordered. The steak, ordered medium-rare, arrived cooked closer to medium-well. The cocktails were also underwhelming--at $33 each, they were tiny, packed with ice, and felt more like a shot than a proper cocktail. Overall, STK is an overpriced, overhyped restaurant that doesn't deliver the quality or service its prices suggest. While the atmosphere was enjoyable, it wasn't enough to make up for the poor service, mishandled food and drinks, and disappointing meal. I won't be returning. Next day went to EDGE at 4 Seasons-amazing food and service.
