Ribs
Kate D.

Honestly the best food in the city! Staying at the hotel for 3 nights and came back every night it was that good. The Brussels are great, the burger is excellent and the ribs are the best ribs I've ever had! Great bar seating if you're alone and a nice outdoor patio! I'll be back.

Fried deviled eggs and Brie toast
Erin C.

Fantastic food. Loved the fried deviled eggs and toast with Brie. Definitely recommend the board of meats, cheeses, nuts, and toast. The options from Spain are great! We've traveled to Spain and enjoyed the imberico ham and they had it as an option for our meat board. The drinks were good and so were the churros, which we'd recommend with the ice cream. It was in the train station, but they did good to give the place an upscale feel in spite of that. Our server was also very knowledgeable. Answered our questions confidently and could even speak to specific ingredient questions which impressed me. We will be back when we visit Denver again!

Absolutely great food!!! My husband and i were just walking around enjoying our day and i started to get in a snack mood. We popped our heads in here and to our very happy surprise, it was happy hour! $7 glasses of wine (he got the red and i got the rose) and it was really great for house wine. We personally love tapas so we picked 3 and LOVED all of them! My favorite was the bacon wrapped date. Highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed!! We sat at the bar and it was really cool! The wall of drinks was really cool and i didn't even see the upstairs until we were leaving. I told him i want to sit there next time! Service was good, however we really didn't interact with them because we were in and out. I can't wait to come back and try the dinner!

Corn toast and ham fritters
Bruce E.

When you can get your gin and tonic made with Ke No Bi gin there is little doubt you are where you need to be. The sangria was spot on with little to no sweetness but balanced fruit taste. Excellent croquettes and a delicious corn toast paired beautifully for a light lunch

Beautiful restaurant that we have read about in the New York Times & a James Beard winner. The restaurant is actually inside Denver Union Station with some tables outdoors. Ultreia is a modern-classic restaurant with a high-ceilinged room that resembles an art gallery, with wallpaper in the style of a landscape painting that depicts cows and pastures . The name means encouragement, to keep going reaching beyond and heading onward. Our waiter explained that the food is from a beautiful San Sebastián in Northern Spain. We perused the spring dinner menu starting with a delicious refreshing red sangria and sharing their board with olives, almonds, cheese, tomato, and chorizo, along with the crispy eggplant, sesame, honey. We shared an entrée with pan seared trout, Serrano ham, artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, and tonnato sauce. Our meal was exceptional, fresh, flavorful & very different from what I usually order and try.

Croquetas de Jamon
Michael A.

We found this place by accident and now one of our favorite places. Our server was super nice and recommended the Chef's Feast which includes chef's choice of plates and 20% off any bottle of wine. It was the perfect amount of food and great way to spend the afternoon. Perfect pairing of salads, breads and proteins which we would have never been able to select for ourselves. Totally worth the $90 for 2 people.

Pastel De Nata dessert.
Kai L.

The fifth and final stop of our Downtown Denver Food Tour brought us to Denver Union Station. Our guide pointed to where the restaurant is located, but we didn't even go in. We all sat in the seating area of the Station and the dessert Pastel De Nata was brought out to us on a tray. The dessert itself was okay, nothing special. By the way they looked I thought they would be really flaky. Not too sweet though with good texture. Interesting that the name of this pastel is "de nada" as in "from nothing". Nuns made these from nothing when monks kept the egg yolk for themselves and gave them the egg whites. So these nuns were able to make delicious pastries "from nothing". Just a tidbit our guide shared with us.

I found this place on Yelp because my friend and I just had a trip to Portugal and talked about tapas and patatas bravas. We made a reservation right before a concert we were going to. We took the train and since we have to transfer at Union Station - this was perfect. We were seated upstairs (had the option to also sit outside). Our server was so nice and also informative with questions we had about the menu since we needed some translations. He made recommendations as well. I loved the crab salad toast that I got. There was also a plate that came with bread, olives, chorizo, manchego cheese, and this tomato jam. It was incredible! Great flavors when you mix them all together. We throughly enjoyed and it between the two of us - had plenty to eat. I can't wait to go back and try more items. Love the convenience of the place also!

Watermelon gazpacho
J Warren R.

We had a 5-course tasting menu of very fine Spanish and Portuguese tapas and menu items. We started with a salt cod fritter, that was fried perfectly. The watermelon gazpacho was interesting, refreshing with fresh melons, cantaloupe and cucumber. The halibut seafood soup was hearty and tasty yet served at room temperature. The duck confit with fresh mushrooms was also tasty, and served warm. All would have been better if served a little warmer. Dessert was a nice mascarpone tarte. Service was okay. Wine selection focuses on Spanish and Portuguese selections and is quite reasonably priced by the glass or bottle. Located in Union Station, Ultreia is a relatively small restaurant, so reservations are recommended. Bar looks phenomenal with some interesting hand-crafted cocktails on that menu.

Calamari
Mariel T.

Decent happy hour stop if you're near union station, but it left a bit to be desired. The patatas bravas were okay, the happy hour calamari was good enough, and the trout.. well.. I won't be getting that again.

Soroosh P.

Solid upscale tapas spot, with a decent happy hour. Everything was good with the exception of the pork ribs. Bacon wrapped dates were excellent, I liked the anchovy tapas as well. The service was patient and friendly. Definitely a cool spot to eat and get drinks with colleagues. Prices were fair for an upscale eatery; it's located in union station which in my opinion was a very neat repositioning of an old train station. One drawback is that the restaurant shares the bathroom with the station as a whole. The churros are also quite good.

Flatbread
Laureen O.

This has been on our list to try and finally got here. We had a nice experience. Server, Shelby was excellent as he made good recommendations. My husband is gluten sensitive so we were able to order well. The ribs, trout and flatbread were all tasty. There are other items on the menu that are interesting and might get us back here.

Lauren B.

What an incredible tapas spot conveniently located at Union Station! We chose Ultreia to snag some food before a concert and couldn't have chosen a better place. Great outdoor patio, the service was impeccable, and the bacon wrapped dates may have been my favorite food of all time. Oh - and they've got weekend happy hour until 6!

We had an out-of-town friend staying in downtown Denver for a conference. We wanted to impress her, and I had been wanting to visit Rioja for some time, so we gave it a go. Everything about the experience was perfect. This includes the service, which was warm and knowledgeable. We ordered the two James Beard award dishes, the fresh bacon and the artichoke tortellini, to share between us. Both were delightful and definitely worthy of the attention. I had the mushroom pappardelle; which was appropriately rich and satisfying. We also had a round of drinks. We all enjoyed our drinks and found them to be well-balanced.

The server gave us a lot of info like telling us which food dishes were James beard award winning. The breads were yummy but very small and the server came around to distribute it to us individually. We tried the fresh bacon first -- it's basically a piece of pork belly in a garbanzo bean mush with butter / oil around it. I liked the bean mush the most, it added a lot of flavor to the pork. The pork is actually pretty similar to a piece of Kalua pork, we were eating with some Hawaiians and they thought it was just like kalua pork minus rice. I ordered the artichoke tortellini but it was extemely rich and I was a bit shocked by how creamy it was. Served with small pieces of artichoke hearts and some cheese. I found it was best if you ate it with a bit of the broth as it adds a lot of flavor that balances the super creamy tortellini. I loved the dessert-- it's basically a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Some of my table mates ordered the peas and carrots dessert and it looked really interesting kind of like a salad. I took off a star because they seemed to keep clearing only half the table and taking away our silverware without giving more. We found ourselves short of utensils a few times! There could also be more clear signage about where the bathroom is.

The service was so poor we had to keep requesting items-only to see them go to other tables and not ours. I requested "bone-in ribeye" 5x, and almost 2 hrs later one did show up, but not after half the table was done. Several orders of pichana were so overly done that it could have passed for beef jerky. Often the signature fat cap was left off as the gaucho cut the piece top to bottom. It's not like the selections were not ready, we could clearly see them making their way through the restaurant, only to be thwarted a few tables away. I requested chimmichuri for the 6 of us, got 2 1oz ramekins a half hour later. No apology, no explanation why this tiny amount was to serve 6 adults.

I also really enjoyed the sides that come with the meal especially the fries, plantains, mashed potatoes, and pão de queijo, which were all tasty and a highlight of the dinner. However, the meats weren't as flavorful as I expected, as if they under seasoned the meats. Some cuts were decent, but overall they didn't stand out the way I hoped they would. Service was a bit mixed. Our waitress was polite, but there seemed to be some language barrier issues, which led to a misunderstanding when we were charged for a birthday dessert after being told it would be free. To their credit, the manager came by and corrected the mistake, comped the dessert, and also applied a 10% military discount, which I appreciated. Another issue was that the churrasqueiros (the servers bringing the meats) would still approach the table even when the card was turned to "no meat." It felt like they weren't really paying attention to the signal system, which is a key part of the dining experience at a place like this. Overall, the salad bar and sides were great, but the meat quality and service consistency could be better. I appreciated the manager stepping in to fix the dessert issue, but the experience didn't quite live up to expectations.
