Best meal I've had in years!!! We are not foodies but this place could turn me into one. I think it's really hard to do fish well but the halibut was amazing!! We also tried the deviled eggs which were a complete surprise and over the top. They had some yummy sesame thing going on which was quite yummy. Our server Chelsea was great!! read more

I was a bit taken aback by the menu, and wasn't sure the three of us would find something to our tastes! I was wrong! All 3 dishes were extraordinary, service was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be back. I will mention that the food is very rich. I would enjoy a lighter salad option to balance out the entree. Will definitely be back for a foodie fix! read more

Another AMAZING meal at one of my favorite places to dine! Best servers and their food is always so wonderful! Thank you KEN & Rob and the manager for a lovely evening! read more

This is in my neighborhood and it's my go to when I want a really good meal that I don't have to prepare myself. It's a little pricey by the standards of other Arvada restaurants but it's definitely a class (or several) above. Food and service is excellent. Worth every penny IMO! read more

That duck confit though! We had excellent service and our dishes came out in a well paced fashion since my husband and I ordered a full course. Favorites had to be the salad, fresh bread and obviously my duck confit. Desserts shined on their own since I typically don't love overly sweet things and our sundae and cheesecake were so well balanced. 10/5 stars! read more

Glad to have finally tried Stone Cellar Bistro. Farm to Table with fresh ingredients--this is a restaurant worth knowing and returning for something else. As a walk-in on a weekend night, I was pleased to have gotten a table. Service was impeccable. While we had a primary server, the whole team made sure everything was perfect. Teamwork - kitchen and staff - this was a well run operation. A very good cocktail menu. I was intrigued by a mescal and sparkling rose -- glad I tried it. The fresh peas, with goat cheese and these wafer thin crackers were delicious and a taste of the season. Pan seared Alaskan Halibut, in peeled tomatoes, fennel and cucumbers mouthwateringly delicious, seasonal and shows the talents of an inspired, passionate and creative chef. I was impressed. The wine list is short, but good, with many by the glass. Most expensive wine bottles was $130, everything else was well below that. Overall a superb experience. Parking difficult in downtown Arvada, but you already knew that. btw, the name "Stone Cellar" perplexes me. I saw no stones while dining. The restaurant is at street level. I saw no doors leading to a cellar. Yes clearly they serve bistro food, with French influences and techniques. So one out of 3 is still perplexing. read more

Great food, excellent cocktails and really comfortable place to meet for dinner. The whole group had a great time.

Expensive, but you most definitely get what you pay for. Every dish that I tried was at least a solid 9, but I'd give them a 10. I will certainly be recommending this place to friends and family. The service was great as well. I'll provide a more detailed review for those interested. I live in Centennial so this was a bit of a drive; however, it was well worth it. One of the few shows I watch on TV is "Hell's Kitchen" and as soon as I saw that Brandon was from Colorado, I knew I wanted to try his food. He was an extremely strong competitor and, Colorado bias aside, I thought he had a very good shot of winning. On to the food: We started out with the lettuce wraps and fried chicken. It'd be brutal to decide between the two. Both were incredible. All three of us loved the lettuce wraps. Savory with a little bit of kick. 10/10. The wings were solid, as well. One of my guests didn't quite love them - she prefers spicy buffalo-style wings. With that said, I didn't expect the "hot honey wings" to be spicy buffalo wings. To each their own, I suppose. My other guest and I enjoyed them. They met and exceeded my expectations. Hot (temperature-wise), tender, crunchy wings doused in a honey glaze. I may have preferred a bit more spice, but I'm really just nit-picking at this point. My guest thoroughly enjoyed his wagyu burger. I don't blame him for not wanting to share. As such, I personally only tried his fries. They were seasoned and cooked well. I ordered the pork-belly carbonara. I am not exaggerating when I say that the pork was probably the best I've ever had. I don't often eat pork, so take from that what you will. It was crispy, but melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. The scallop was also very tasty and I quite liked the pasta. If you were curious, the third guest didn't have an entree; she was full after the two appetizers. If you were to ask me to tell you one bad thing about the experience, it would be my portion size. Again, I'm grasping at straws here. When you walk into a restaurant such as this, you know you're not getting all you can eat sized portions. The burger entree was pretty fat, though. To reiterate, I'm definitely nit-picking - I just want to provide an objective review. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I'd quite like to return here, but only on special occasions; the drive, for me, is a dissuading factor and the prices would also render it a more so once in a while type treat. Thank you, Jordan and Brandon. You guys clearly know what you're doing. read more

The hubs and I met up with friends for dinner. The restaurant is located in Olde Town Arvada which is a fun part of Arvada to visit and created a nice ambiance for the night. We started with Parker house rolls with the butter/brown butter combo. Our friends tasted Worcestershire sauce with the brown butter sprinkles and I thought it was good but not mind blowing. I enjoyed my roll mostly butter free. The roll itself was soft, fluffy and well done. For my main, I opted for the duck leg and vegetables in red curry. The duck confit was tender and packed full of flavor. I would have loved if the skin itself was crispy. The hubs got the venison loin and thought it was good. He thought the best bites were when the smoked celery root, mushroom, venison and gravy were all together. We finished with a decaf espresso and an amaro which was a nice ending to the meal. Service was efficient and professional. read more

Ambiance and service was great, but the food was mediocre for the price and there were fruit flies everywhere. We lost our appetite after they kept landing on our food. read more

This is a beautiful little gem in downtown Old Town Arvada. We knew instantly walking by this was for us. We went in on a Friday night around 8:45 and were sat immediately. Everyone was wonderful and super helpful. The food was out of this world delicious and clearly crafted with love and care. We shared everything because it was all too good to pass up. I can't wait to come back out here and visit again. read more

Food - amazing! Good attention to detail when preparing your food. Delicious, cooked to perfection, the ingredients were fresh and, for the most part, local to the area. We started with the Sweet Peas (see picture). You can absolutely taste the freshness with this dish! Peas offered the perfect crunch. The preserved lemon was the perfect accoutrement, and you can never go wrong with Grateful Bread Focaccia crackers in a dish. For our entree, we ordered the Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breast with Oyster Mushrooms - full of flavor, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. It was so good we just concentrated on eating and forgot to take a picture. While I cannot remember the actual name of their dessert, it was their version of a Cheesecake with a hint of Orange essence (see picture). It did not disappoint. It was smooth, not overly sweet, the perfect amount served, and highly satisfying. While Stone Cellar's atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and business casual, I assure you the food is anything but. This restaurant offers an upscale meal experience. You may want to bring your favorite credit card, but it's worth it. The only reason why I gave four stars versus five was the lack of interaction with the staff. While no one was rude, there is an air of hubris from the owner. Maybe it's just pride, confidence, or his mind was elsewhere; as an owner of an establishment interacting with your guests can go a long way. Perception is everything. read more

The food is a m a z i n g! We have told all our foodie friends that it is a must for date night! The waygu burger was phenomenal! The pistachio crème brûlée - incredible! My husband and son loved their old fashions. You can't go wrong with any choice on the menu! read more

Recently dined here and was extremely disappointed. I did the tasting menu and the timing for food and the wine pairing did not align. Food was over salted and lacking any real flavors. Descriptions did not match the food served, which can be an issue if you have food allergies. As for service, you will sit there without silverware, water, or anyone checking in on you. Drive the extra few minutes into Denver to enjoy true service and food worth the price. read more

Once again does not disappoint! Farm to table and so delicious and fresh! Owners are phenomenal!

We went to celebrate my fiance getting into grad school and from the moment we walked in, we knew it would be a special night. They brought over a personalized card congratulating him and champagne which was incredibly thoughtful. We probably over ordered, but each dish was amazing in its own way, and I don't know what I would have taken off the list. Hard to beat the fried chicken though- apparently on Saturdays from 4-5 there's a fried chicken happy hour so we plan to check that out. Definitely a new top restaurant in the denver area. read more

Really love the ambiance of this place. The staff is amazing and the menu is changed daily to accommodate seasonal produce, which to me is really cool! Drinks: they have specialty cocktails, great beer & wine choices. Food: The bacon bread rolls are an absolute must!!! Perfectly cooked bread and flavor packed. The fried chicken was literally THE BEST chicken I've ever had. It was so dang flavorful and literally melted in your mouth like butter it was cooked perfectly. I was absolutely floored by the flavor. It was served with a side of home made potato chips that were good but I wasn't too impressed by the delicious chicken being served with chips. The steak was good. Prepared nicely, along with the seasonal veggies. It was good but didn't necessarily stand out like the fried chicken. Overall, it's a place worth trying! I will definitely be back to try more entrees. read more

There is a reason that Stone Cellar Bistro is ranked among the best restaurants in Denver - An innovative and creative menu, absolutely delicious food, intimate and relaxed atmosphere, and terrific service. We recently celebrated birthdays here and the entire experience was so special and memorable! Wine selection is abundant...had an Italian red, and my partner had a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Shared a bleu cheese wedge salad, which was delicious. We also shared a plate of locally sourced Grateful Bread rolls, with a walnut miso butter. For entrees, slow roasted pork shoulder and brown butter basted sea bass - every bite was an explosion of flavors. For dessert, we shared the Bee Squared Honey Tart with raspberry preserves. The entire meal was amazing, but our awesome Server, Rob, really made the it an experience with stellar service! Can't wait to go back! You will love this restaurant. read more

Absolutely fantastic dinner here. Stopped by for a quick solo dinner and ate at the bar. Jessie was great and made some wonderful recommendations. Peach palisades app was great and snapper was maybe the best fish I have had in a decade. Will be back! read more

This meal exceeded expectations dramatically. I was expecting a good meal, but didn't realize I was in for an upper tier Michelin star caliber meal. Every single plate blew us away. The foie gras was absolutely balanced, delicious, and unforgettable. Fried chicken was as good as the best I had in Louisiana. Every single dish was the absolute best of its kind. An absolute must visit. read more

This place just opened and it has a very nice ambience! The staff are so friendly and attentive. Food wise, they rotate most of the menu based on what they get from the local vendors that day, which is rly cool. My favorites - fried chicken is sooo good. It's so flavorful you don't even need any sauces. The foie gras parfait & the rolls are both must have apps. Hope they still keep those on!! The peanut butter pie was a nice rich dessert too. read more

Phenomenal! Everything that we ordered was excellent! We started with the Parker Rolls, iceberg salad,foie gras, and mussels to share among the 4 of us. All were incredible! The salad was literally the best my wife had ever had. We had to order a second round of Parker rolls to soak up the mussels' sauce. Entrees were seared tuna, NY strip and an "off the menu" bison steak. All were delicious! Desserts are coming now! read more

Solid place, especially for the area. Had a few glasses of wine, salad and desert. Definitely the most competent FOH team I've experienced outside of Denver, kudos to them, will be back for more! read more

AMAZING addition to Olde Town - upscale but not intimidating, attentive/fast/friendly service, perfectly cooked everything. Inventive cocktails, targeted wine list, beautifully presented dishes. Love that the menu is so seasonal and locally minded that it changes daily - we all need more of this level of effort and quality in our lives :) We ordered: Heirloom broccolini with roasted garlic Thai lettuce wraps Snapper w honeydew basil and cucumber (me - I would eat this every day of my life and I usually get salmon) Pork tenderloin with sweet corn, Nardello peppers, cojita cheese etc etc (him) read more

Had an excellent dinner last night at Stone Cellar Bistro. We love that it is in Arvada (where we live) but feels and tastes like a big city, high end restaurant. Don't skip the parker house rolls. They are big and fluffy and delicious. I had the duck which was exquisite--crispy outside, moist and tender inside with a lovely sauce that you want to slurp up every last bit of. Husband had the flat iron steak which was perfectly prepared with a chimichurri sauce, that he used said rolls to mop up all the juices. Staff is friendly and attentive, we never felt rushed in any way. read more

Slightly upscale, great service and cocktails. Stopped in after dinner for dessert and cocktail. Fab cocktails and had the last of the summer's Palisade peaches roasted with a crumble and homemade ice cream. read more

Well, certainly don't miss this spot @stonecellarbistro if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Old Towne Arvada ! Reservations suggested it's not a big joint. Food is pricey but well worth the culinary point of view. Lots of thought went into these dishes. My husband enjoyed the hanger steak with an awesome sear, I had the chicken dish-um chicken so juicy and reimagined!! Fantastic!! Then my guy ordered the cinnamon bun-quite the experience! I must say. Enjoy! read more

Absolutely fantastic, the food is about as fresh and as farm to table as you can get and you can tell with every bite. The staff are all super friendly and helpful and give great recommendations. The food changes frequently based on the ingredients they are able to get so well worth it to take multiple trips here. My opinion would be to get a reservation as well cause it's farm to table it helps them keep a better idea of food to keep on hand. The place is quaint and small and exactly what you expect for this type of place. Highly recommend! read more

Great new place in Arvada! We've seen many restaurants come and go here, and although we loved the Mexican place here previously this is a new gem! They had a selection of local craft beer, I tried a new terrain hazy that was amazing (per usual, NT) and my husband had one of their craft cocktails called the Anthony which was packed with flavor and very tasty. We started with the biscuits and fried chicken butter which were very fluffy and flaky and the butter was so rich and flavorful. Short rib lettuce wraps were also perfectly marinated with a Asian-ish sauce. Although very small portion for the cost, we're also delicious. Mains were the roasted chicken breast that came with salty farro and mushrooms which was also very tasty but a little too salty for me. The chicken was perfectly roasted and juicy on the inside. I had the Shankar steak which was perfectly cooked and the veggie medley with it was a great compliment. For desert we had another round of drinks: Sauvignon blanc and another cocktail called the Avalon which sounded more booze heavy on the menu but was actually a whiskey sour twist which neither of us cared for only because it was a huge surprise. Overall, our $145 tab was worth it for the conversation, great service and very tasty food with an upscale ambiance. read more

My wife and I dined at SCB last night. It was our first visit. Having lived in Arvada for nearly 20 years, I have complained frequently about the lack of high quality food. I should take a moment to share with the reader that I have a wonderful job that allows me to do a lot of entertaining. My territory covers Denver, Las Vegas and So California. As a result, I often take customers to some of the best restaurants in each of these cities. So, I have become somewhat inured to "great food"... and I really do understand great service and some of the best ambiance's available in North America. We are also very fortunate to vacation internationally for 2-3 months every year. When we are in a fortunate place to visit some of the best restraints in the world. In the last year, we have eaten at several Michelin Star recognized restaurants. This restaurant has only been open since June of last year - combine that with a location that hasn't had fine dining in my time here and it's understandable that they were not sold out on a cold Friday night. The ambiance does not match up with the most expensive or "showy" locations in major cities - again, not a surprise. The service was friendly and quick. Excellent drink quality using local alcohols in preference to the big corporate brands. I had a martini using a local gin. Sharp and refreshing. My wife enjoyed a glass of a very nice red from France. Now onto the food... We started with the Fois Gras app and Pork Belly wraps. The detail and presentation showed me immediately that the food was going to be the star of the show. The Fois Gras was smooth and served with a beautiful strip of Texas Toast dipped in butter and lightly fried on both sides. The taste was sublime. And again, the presentation was gorgeous. The Pork Belly was perfectly cooked and served in a Bibb lettuce leaf with a sweet and sour relish that had finely julienned onions, peppers and mango... On to the main courses... My wife went with the NY Strip. Served with small lettuce leaves that included toasted peanuts and blue cheese and a huge pad of truffle butter. Steak was perfectly prepared and incredibly delicious. I had Duck Confit. The duck was also perfectly cooked. It was served as a large drumstick. Skin on with a delicious glaze all in a sweet and sour like sauce that included Asian veggies. Literally one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. We then split two desserts. One was a lemon/pistachio shortcake with lemon sorbet and the next was a chocolate miracle served with shaved toasted coconut and coconut sorbet. We normally skip dessert... almost always! Don't skip these magic mouth treats. In fact, share an entree and make sure you try these. You will not be disappointed. I have no idea where the chef trained - but, it's obvious that they studied French techniques and their commitment to fresh ingredients and spectacular presentation is what make this restaurant one of my favorite dining experiences in the last 10 years. Please spread the word. I want to see this gem thrive so it's here for a good long time. If you're anywhere in the Denver Metro area - do yourself a favor and check them out. You will be extremely happy with what you find! read more

A great new American restaurant in old town Arvada. Their menu changes daily based on available ingredients and is varied but small (which makes it easier to make a decision on what to choose). We tried the steelhead trout with leeks and parsnips in a butter dill sauce and steak in a green curry veggie medley. Both were perfectly flavourful and cooked to perfection. The real show stopper was the coconut cheesecake with macadamia nuts, sesame brittle and lime sorbet. It was divine! Service was friendly and prompt and waitress was very informative and knowledgeable about the menu. My only complaint is that when I booked the reservation over open table I indicated under the "occasion" that it was for a birthday (mine) but nobody at any point acknowledged it. I would recommend either not asking for that information when booking if you're not going to use it or doing some kind of small gesture (even as little as a happy birthday wish) to make the experience more personable read more

Love, love, love Stone Cellar Bistro! The food and drinks are always incredible and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I love the rotating farm-to-table menu. Additionally, the ambiance is top-notch. They restaurant is always clean, organized and nicely decorated; you can tell that they pay attention to the small details. Considering the quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable. A must stop if you are in Olde Town Arvada! read more

An absolutely fantastic experience all around. We sampled most things, including four of the smaller bites, two entrees and four desserts. The foie gras was exceptional, and the charred broccoli, and the beets (and I don't like beets haha) as well as the jaegerschnitzel. Entrees included the short rib (amazing) and the red snapper (also amazing). Desserts were all fantastic as well. Met the owners as well as our server Katia who was great. This is the best place we've been to in and around Denver. Highly recommend. read more

We showed up without a reservation but were able to get a seat at the bar. Really good food. The quality was excellent. Service was great. We didn't see a $$$ indicator on the Yelp listing so we're a little surprised by the price. It's high, but the food was worth it. read more

Excellent fine dining outpost in Olde Town Arvada. We met up with friends and shared several small plates, including the fried chicken, a beet salad, pork lettuce wraps, and the Parker House rolls. All were delicious! For me the highlight were actually the beets, which are served on a whipped Brie base and garnished with honeycomb and crunchy granola bits. Just so good! Most starters price out in the 15-20$ range, and 3-4 shared by two people would make a meal. We moved onto entrees, one featuring red snapper and the other beef short rib. Both were tasty but pricey and on a revisit I think I'd go with multiple shared small plates and move straight from those to dessert. Very attentive and helpful waitstaff, pleasant ambiance with low sound levels; just overall a great dining experience. read more

Unfortunately, need to re-review this place. Will never return and tell everyone I know not to go. The food is decent, our waiter, the hostess and sommelier were very nice and friendly. But this place adds a 5% "kitchen living wage" to your bill. Yes, they do put this in the fine print on the menu. But when you come in and are chatting with your spouse and having a nice evening on your anniversary, sometimes you forget to read the fine print. I know this is becoming more and more common in the restaurant world, and good talent is hard to find, but the restaurant needs to simply pay them more and go ahead and build the 5% into the menu prices to be more transparent. I would probably still eat there, but wouldn't feel like the establishment is being a bit shady. How much does it really cost to eat at your establishment? Just tell us straight up. And why did the kitchen need 5% of the expensive wine bottle I bought? AND.. we did the math, we were taxed on the 5% too! We took the 5% out of the tip and documented why on the bill. The waiter told the kitchen and two of the kitchen staff came out and tried to intimidate me and my husband. Even the manager after we brought it to her attention, recognized that they were acting like goons and asked them to go back into the kitchen.. which they didn't. These employees need to be fired. I will not be bullied or intimidated into tipping more. I am typically a 20% tipper and recognize how hard restaurant help works. Diners need to start standing up for themselves. The manager said the employees would not be fired. So... I guess this restaurant is ok with employees acting like part of Tony Sopranos thugs. There are too many options in Old Town now that will treat us nicely, and offer good food, we don't need to put up with this. We work hard for our money, and when we dine out we expect who we are handing our money to, works as hard as us, doesn't bully their way to it. Just simply start being more transparent and tell your diners what their meal will really cost them. read more
