10/10 would recommend for drinks... we don't try the food so no hate just no opinion. I got a Don't Be Mad At Me as a big gin fan this drink was great. What really impressed me was the Barrel Aged Manhattan my partner got. I'm not a huge fan of whiskey but this is one I would order. There is zero burn. Service was quick for drinks and the servers were so kind. The establishment is small and intimate. read more

First time there with friends who go often. Fun little bistro with outdoor seating when the weather suits. Inside you can seat bar, twos and fours beyond that would be a challenge and all seating is best ensured by a reservation. Great wine and craft drink selection from which we had whites, a red and cocktails. It was really nice. We started with a ciabatta bread because we were starved. All meals generally arrive together and it was just so well done. Served in handmade pottery made by the chef. Service is spectacular and it was just a fun night. Our friends had just celebrated 31 years almost every staff member e r stopped by during the night to congratulate them. Really quality experience. read more

Stone Cellar Bistro - Fried chicken with honey - New American Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

My husband and I have gone twice to Stone Cellar Bistro during their Saturday afternoon happy hour. We thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The food is excellent and the cocktails are well-crafted, unique, and seasonal. Due to high prices, this is not a regular spot for us; however, you really do get what you pay for here. The first time we went, we sat at the bar inside. Second visit we sat outside at the little sidewalk bar there. Just note that there isn't a lot of outside seating and nothing like a patio or anything. Service was top notch both times and the ambiance is classy without feeling uncomfortably fancy. I really also appreciate the classy little details that make all the difference in a quality impression, such as the leather cocktail menu covers and the ice cube branding. This last time we went I tried the Wine Fashioned, which was so delicious. My husband enjoyed his Fall Spritz drink. We shared the fondue and brisket and were so pleased! Thanks for great food, drinks, and service to help us celebrate our anniversary weekend! read more

Absolutely not recommended. An extremely disturbing experience involving inappropriate and threatening voicemail messages connected to this business (Jordan Alley). The tone and content were alarming enough that we no longer feel safe or comfortable engaging with them in any way. Because of this, we will never return and strongly urge others- especially families and mothers -to be cautious and consider other options. No one should have to deal with harassment or intimidation related to a restaurant or service. Trust your instincts and choose establishments that make safety, professionalism, and respect a priority. read more

Bad service, mediocre food. Why return when there are so many other better restaurants in the area?

It was a casual night for my wife and I with a couple of our now adult children. Decided to try this place for the first time. It was absolutely amazing. The service was awesome. I cannot say enough of about the food, it by far was the best I had and with the way the 4 of us ordered I was able to try 4 of the main dishes. Absolutely the best place to go for a great time. read more

Everything about this restaurant was truly wonderful. From the kindest from the host at the beginning to having a beautiful table by the window to service that just went above and beyond. We shared the Walgra and a salad which were plentiful and so delicious and then had a couple of the daily feature entrées which were incredibly prepared. The wine list is short but impressive, and the ambience of the entire restaurant is wonderful. read more

This cozy little spot has super delicious plates that are easily shareable and are all made with very unique ingredients. We shared the duck rillette and the oxtail gnocchi. Both were outstanding! We sat in front of the kitchen at the bar and it was a great experience with super nice service. read more

Stone Cellars is a cute upscale creative restaurant in Old Town Arvada. I went there for Denver Restaurant Restaurant week girls night and its also great for date night too. The dishes we tried were beautifully presented, the fried chicken while not 'pretty' was delish, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. All the staff were super friendly and fun and I liked the decor, seems like a great place to stop by for drinks and dinner solo at the bar. I'll be back for sure. Great spot! read more

Damn, this was good! Stone Cellar Bistro is a cozy, small restaurant in the heart of Olde Town Arvada. I went for happy hour and ended up ordering everything on the happy hour menu--it was worth it. The drinks were phenomenal, and the food was amazing. After happy hour ended, we grabbed a few desserts, and they were out of this world. The service was great, even though we were just sitting at the bar. The staff, friendly and up for chatting while we relaxed. Stone Cellar Bistro is a new favorite spot. Excited to go back. read more

Stone Cellar Bistro - Yogurt Cheesecake - New American Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I wrapped up 2024 in the best way possible - with an incredible meal at one of my favorite spots in the Denver metro area Their five-course meal was Perfectly executed and paired with wines chosen by the swaggiest sommelier I've ever met. The service? Outstanding. The experience? Near perfect. Chef Brandon Kerr and his team change the menu daily, always working with the best and freshest ingredients. What we ordered: Scallop - champagne, caviar Monkfish - lobster dashi, smoked collards Duck Breast - celery root, bone jus N.Y. Strip - short rib, black truffle Cheesecake - cider, granita Best bites: I thought our first course was butter, but it turned out to be the most perfectly cooked scallop I've ever had. The caviar on top? A great touch (and yes, we may have turned it into a bump). The duck breast was perfectly cooked, and the bone jus with celery root brought everything together. The N.Y. strip was textbook medium rare, and the short rib made the perfect bite. And that cheesecake? Unreal - the tart cider granita made it next level. read more

We discovered this place a couple of years ago. It was crave worthy and we sent several people there. We drove from South Denver and it was always worth it and never a hesitation. Tonight the service was good with Eric and Chelsea, but the food was a salt lick!! The deviled eggs were the exception. They were delicious! The scallops were near inedible they were so salty but the prep was good. The steak was chewy and salty. The burrata cheese pasta and fried chicken were just ok. The chicken dish was good and the pot roast left was underwhelming. The fig drink was a cavity waiting to happen and beyond acidic. As a Friday night at 7 the place was half full and it's heartbreaking. The potential to be as good as they used to be is there but changes need to be made. It's a great location, cozy place and the wait staff is great. I want to be your biggest fan, but you're making it hard serving inconsistent food. read more

Still one of our favorites. We like to now sit at the bar, maybe get happy hour. The drinks are really fabulous! Service is very attentive. Even the chef/owner pops out to chat. Food is always delicious. Appetizers unique. And the atmosphere is classy but intimate. And after you can walk around Old Town Arvada. If you are in Denver take the G train straight from Union Station and it drops you in the center of Old Town Arvada then it's a short walk to Stone Cellar Bistro. Not cheap food. Fresh. O read more

We were celebrating our anniversary and this was just the place to do it. And looking back at my review from last year, this is becoming a habit. I had the most lovely steak served with stuffed squash blossoms. The steak was done perfectly and so tender. My husband had their fish offering which came with Palisade peaches and shishito peppers. He thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The fish was tender and delicate and paired so well with peach. The service here is always top notch. They have different menus depending on what is in season. I would recommend a reservation if you are planning to go on a weekend evening as the space is not large. They do have bar seating as well as some outside space. read more

Honestly after the breastfeeding discrimination and the voicemail to the woman calling her names, etc. I don't care about the food or drinks - this is NOT the type of place I would go or take my family. The fact that they threaten bad reviews is worrisome too. We should all be alarmed and not support this owner. I'll support local, and women friendly places. read more

Recently came here for date night, the space is less than impressive, the food was not good (cold, dry, under seasoned), and overall the experience was a major let down. I wouldn't recommend really for any occasion :( Edit: after seeing other reviews about the owners unhinged and threatening behavior towards other customers who had negative experiences in their mid restaurant I am even more disappointed & recommend anyone AVOID, the owner is unsafe and inappropriate to the community. There's plenty of actually good restaurants in Arvada and Denver with decent owners, highly suggest looking also where read more

Phenomenal food, great service and knowledgeable, passionate staff. I was taken by friends for a special dinner, and was not disappointed.

I am so sad to post this. Our first experience was excellent but we went back maybe a month ago and the bar was dirty. The wines were corked. The kitchen was unfocused. It took us an hour to get 2 drinks and 1 appetizer and cost us $75 with tip... idk what happened but I know they can do better. I emailed the restaurant bland heard nothing back. We probably won't be back again after that experience. read more

I've been a repeat customer and have gone to Stone Cellar Bistro 5 times now and can I just say, WOW! I keep up with all surrounding restaurants in Arvada and can say with a high level of confidence that this is the best New American restaurant in Arvada. The service is amazing. Very attentive staff who are always happy to give recommendations and address any concerns you may have (food allergy in my case). The food! Oh, the food! It's amazing. Super creative and always tasty. I'm so happy this place is in walking distance from where I live! I really really want to be a regular but it is on the pricy side so will have to settle for stopping by every couple of months. read more

I have had the pleasure of dining at Stone Cellar many times since it opened. Tonight was such a standout dinner. The peach and watermelon salad was perfection--ripe and crisp. The wedge salad with the blue cheese dressing and bacon with fried shallots was an upgrade to a classic. Ribeye, with potatoes I didn't know I had missing all my life. There are few restaurants that are consistently delicious and seasonal and Stone Cellar hits the mark every time. Thank you for always wowing me. read more

Olde Town Arvada has @stonecellarbistro that's must visit! A date night spot! Opened in June of last year by two best friends with over 30 years of collective experience. Jordan with the dreadlocks and Brandon, who's the Chef de Cuisine. Just honest-to-goodness good food that reminds you of French dishes but with a twist of familiarity - like a seasoned friendship. They source locally. We had the most fantastic dinner. We can't pick a favorite. Phenomenal dishes. We started with their 21-day-old Buckner Farms Beef Tartare. Instead of bread, they used Tater Tots. The surprising switch was both fun and so good! Fresh! Foie Gras Parfait Meyer Lemon Curd, Pickled Curtants, Mountain Man Basil, Toasted Brioche. Amazing! So smooth! So rich! I'm still thinking about this! Followed by infinite Harvest Bib Lettuce and Wedge salad. The Green Goddess dressing on the latter was terrific! We also tried their Buckner Family Lamb Loin. So tender. The best! Beautifully plated and an immensely delicious dish! They sent us home with their Wildfire Chicken. It's fried chicken and hot honey! Get this! Their plates are made by a local potter, Cassandra Duft @hanoviceramics. Jordan's family has gone on camping trips for generations at Stone Cellar in Sawatch, CO. read more

Our son and his fiancee took me and my husband here for dinner on a special occasion. It was the perfect place to celebrate. I believe the chef changes the menu every month. We began with the Parker rolls that are made in house--they're not complimentary but an absolute must have for your meal. Think elevated King's Hawaiian rolls that are crispy and warm from the oven with a scrumptious brown butter on top and coarse salt. Our salad was a cherry tomato and basil mix on a bed of delicious dressing. It was so good, our entire table wanted more. My husband and I shared our entrees of pork belly and roasted chicken. I've never had pork belly honestly and it was very good but I'm not sure I would order it again. The gravy was a 10, as was the accompanying kale/squash salad, but in the end, I'm probably not a huge pork belly fan. My husband's chicken was perfectly prepared and the hush puppies and corn sauce were divine. We loved the service--not rushed, elegant but casual, attentive but not rushed. We can't wait to return! read more

I'm so happy this place came to Olde Town Arvada. It took over Mi Tierra, which was a Mexican place I tried once and didn't really like. I've been to this new restaurant a couple times and the food has always been delicious. Definitely start with the biscuits. They were delectable. The hanger steak, if they have it, was also a nice dish. I like that their menu changes with what's seasonal and the best quality on the market at the time. The charcuterie plate was well done. The jalapeño peach jam was amazing. And the desserts were really good as well. The cheesecake - yum! The servers have always been super nice and on top of things when I've visited. The restaurant was kind of small but not cramped. Just feels intimate. I really love this place and I hope it stays around for a long time. The best place to park was probably the parking garage. It was a short walk from the RTD parking garage to this restaurant. read more

We've eaten in and around Old Towne Arvada many times, before and after shows at the Arvada Center. Never been here before this evening, and are so glad we did. With food and drinks, the whole thing cost around $100/person -- but we had a lot of food and drinks, and it was all excellent. The menu is relatively short, varied, and complex, but the taste of everything was just delightful. The special creme brulee was one of the best I've ever had. The cocktail menu was interesting, and shared sips showed it was all good. The server was quietly competent, the additional staff helpful -- and, overhearing us talking about theater, the hostess checked if we were heading to a show afterward so that they could accelerate things for us. Only downside, to be honest, is that it's in the middle of a block in the parking and blocked streets and zig-zags that make up Old Towne Arvada. I'm sure with, anticipated return visits, we'll figure out where best to park. read more

Stone Cellar Bistro - Light fixture - New American Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Something you should know about the Stone Cellar Bistro in old town Arvada: While I've been a big fan of the place as being one of the best "neighborhood restaurants" in the entire Denver-Boulder area, the meal we had there last night was Michelin star worthy at much much less than Michelin star prices. Attached are some pix but they don't begin to depict the outrageously delicious food we were served. The menu changes every month so a specific recommendation might not serve you well, but while they change up the entrees frequently, the apps seem to be more regular in appearance. Some that you shouldn't miss are the steak tartare, the endive salad and (if you're into this kind of thing...) the dark chocolate covered fois gras balls with touches of wild cherries and crushed pistachios. Wow! (and the expresso chocolate tart and almond sponge cake with Compari sorbet we shared for dessert were out of this world too!). Sign me, David "Exec Director of the SCB Fan Club" M read more

We stopped in a few months ago to have a drink at the bar, talked to the staff, and promised we'd be back - and back we came! I was so excited to try Stone Cellar Bistro because not only are the owners incredible chefs but their whole menu has a locally sourced component. We started with the Grateful Bread and the whipped feta was incredible. From there we got the infinite Harvest Bib and the Carpaccio. The carpaccio was definitely our favorite of the night. We each got the Sir-lion which was really great as well and had so many floral flavors. We got the creme brûlée and toffee pudding for dessert, which were great as well. We will definitely be back - you'll probably catch us at the bar eating all the Carpaccio! read more

We went here for a celebratory dinner and had a great time. This location used to be home to "the worst Mexican restaurant" within three miles, or at least I thought so. Now it is an upscale place with a seasonal menu. Or, as they put it, "Menu Subject To Change Depending On Farm & Product Availability". We were mostly happy with our choices, but the prices were a tad high. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was fire. Try the Kat's Parker House Rolls Sweet Corn Butter & Peppermash. This appetite opener is way better than it has any right to be. read more

My husband and I have dined at Stone Cellar Bistro twice now in the past 2 months. The first time was a 5 star experience. We had ordered a salad & fois gras as appetizers. Fois gras was amazing, salad was good but nothing to write home about and nothing special to justify the price. For our main courses, we ordered the steak cooked medium rare and roasted chicken. The star of the night was the roasted chicken and the steak followed closely behind! Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection. Not only that, all the cocktails we ordered were phenomenal. To end the night, our server gave us glasses of champagne to celebrate our special night. I kept raving about Stone Cellar Bistro to friends in the area and kept insisting the food was totally worth the price! I absolutely hate when we dine out somewhere and the food is just not worth what we paid for at the end. Fast forward 2 months (11/4), my family was in town from DC and since DC is one of the meccas of GOOD restaurants, I thought what better place to take my family than to Stone Cellar Bistro? We started out with dirty martini and an old fashioned. - Old Fashioned- This was way too sweet & had crushed ice. This is not a dive bar by any means so please PLEASE, if you're going to have old fashioned on the menu, please serve it with one large single ice cube. - Dirty Martini- This was my drink. It was OK- nothing to write home about. - Whiskey Sour- This came in a regular glass with ICE. Whiskey Sours are NOT served with ice. WAYY too sour. At this point, 2 out of 3 cocktails were 1 out of 5 stars. I originally wanted another cocktail but decided not to get one b/c the two cocktails my husband ordered were just not good. We were utterly surprised because our last experience was completely different. Maybe different bartender? Please at least establish some level of consistency of the quality of drinks between different bartenders. Moving forward, we ordered 2 Roast chickens, steak (cooked medium), and dry aged venison (medium rare). Both chicken entrees were dry. Steak was cooked to medium but again was dry. The gnocchi in the chicken entrees were way too doughy and tasted undercooked. All in all, the food was passable but was it worth the price? Absolutely not. Were the cocktails worth the price? Definitely not. I was pretty disappointed since I've been going around telling family and friends about this place and taking out of town guests to this restaurant and we were left feeling dissatisfied. I did tell the server that our chicken was very dry and he told me he would inform the kitchen staff. The food/drinks just warranted 2 stars honestly considering the $$ we paid for dinner. Also, I noticed that Stone Cellar did charge 5% living wage on the entire bill. I honestly don't understand why restaurants add a separate charge like this. If you want to add $$ onto the bill for 'living wage', can you at least up your prices so it doesn't seem like we're paying another fee? We did leave them a full 20% tip on top of the 5% but that really does seem excessive. read more

We celebrated the holidays by making a reservation well in advance at Stone Cellar Bistro. This small and charming restaurant in Old Town Avada does not disappoint in its food preparation and presentation. The short ribs, snapper and pork belly that we ordered for our table of four were all excellent. Stars are removed from our review because of a communication problem between the wait staff and the kitchen that caused our entrees to be served more than an hour after we ordered. The restaurant partially made amends by providing an additional free entree. That problem aside, we have eaten at the restaurant several times and recommend it. read more
