Hands-down, best restaurant in Denver. From the food and drinks to the service and ambience, you could not ask for a better experience. The chef clearly has impeccable taste coupled with a deep knowledge. Clearly knows how to cook fresh locally sourced food to perfection while adding a distinct, useful twist. Trust me, next date night should be here read more

I was hesitant about going through with our Monday night Wildflower reservations because reviews regarding impatient service gave me some pause. I'm glad we looked past them and gave Wildflower a try. Genuinely friendly and thorough service, innovative menu, and remarkable execution. Atmosphere perfect for a date night - fun quirky details all around the interior. Tracy was our host, but popped in here and there to clear our table and send some dishes our way. We were lucky to have Lola as a server. They don't offer a paper menu, only a QR code you access on your phone. But if you have any questions at all, the servers are well-equipped with knowledge about the various menu items, cocktails, and meads. For drinks, we had: * Frontier Fog cocktail ($15): Gin-based with earl gray and lavender. Can't go wrong here. They use shaved ice made from the frozen cocktail. I think it's made kind of similarly to a milk punch, using lemon and milk to clarify the cocktail. It came in a very charming teacup. So tasty! * Toasted Caramel mead ($19): She recommended this one over the Chamomile once she heard that Steven didn't have a huge sweet tooth. He was appreciative of this rec since this mead ended up having great depth to it. * The Colorado Sky cocktail ($15) * Gimme Thyme cocktail ($15): Pretty strong, but not overt about it. For our meal, they started us off with a complimentary small bite: tomatillo with corvina. Spicy and delicious! We were considering the Wildflower Focaccia but figured it would be too much, so decided against ordering it. Also thought about the Hickory Watermelon and the Kabocha Mezzaluna (sounded like an incredible autumn dish but perhaps too heavy). We mulled over the corvina dish because of how tasty the small bite had been, but Lola advised us to go for the NY strip steak based on the other dishes we were ordering. In the end, we settled on the following: * Lamb tart ($21): The tartare sits on a fantastic crust, with a phenomenal meringue topping. Probably one of the better tartares I've had. Contrasting ideas of tart (breakfast/dessert) and tartare (usually a dinner thing?), very interesting combo. Tomato-forward, which I liked. * Denver meat and cheese ($28): What a fun board! The Berkshire spicy coppa was perfect. Triple cream blue cheese, so much fun. Didn't love the brigante, it was a little dry and most of the flavor was back-ended. There was SO MUCH piquillo chutney we didn't end up finishing it, but I wish I'd had room for it. Also can I mention this board came with their focaccia? That worked out well! * Ricotta cavatelli ($26): This came with a house-made burrata snow that was shaved and frozen? You're supposed to mix it in to melt it into the sauce. Rosemary breadcrumbs seemed a little too salty and overwhelmed the rest of the dish. Lots of flavor here. I liked the broccolini texture. I wish the burrata had been a normal creamy blob to counter the breadcrumbs. * NY Strip Steak: This came with a mole verde boasting 27 ingredients and cooked over a 2-week period. It was kind of a hard sell for my fiancé since he's not a mole fan, but as soon as we tasted it, the two of us just looked at each other in shock. SO GOOD. It felt like not enough meat for the mole verde but let's be real, we finished off that mole like it was a soup. It comes with a blue corn tortilla served pani puri pastry style, gigante bean puree sitting inside? Super surprising. The puree texture is exquisite and goes a long way. Would absolutely order again if it's still on the menu when we're back next. * Wildflower Honey Semifreddo ($13): We got this one on Lola's recommendation and loved it. This dessert is reminiscent of an escalated honey bunches of oats. Marsala foam?? I haven't had honey brittle this thin and it works perfectly. We were one of the last parties to leave the restaurant, but didn't feel rushed at all. We'll absolutely be making another reservation whenever we're next in Denver. read more

Excellent atmosphere and awesome customer service. The food is always consistent and fresh. I love the fact they switch up the menu to keep me coming back to try something new and awesome. Definitely worth trying if you haven't been. Make sure you set reservations early on as tables fill up fast. read more

My husband and I traveled from Jacksonville Florida. We had the absolute pleasure of eating dinner at Wildflower on our first night in Denver. Definitely worth a journey. One of the best meals ever. Worth a Michelin star ****. Wine to start with a delightful plantain Amuse Bouche. Our dinner consisted of Foccia bread with garlic confit which was marvelous. Followed by grilled artichoke, lamb tart also marvelous, a creamy pasta dish w/fresh grated cheese which was sublime, finished off with semifreddo cannoli for dessert. Plate presentation, attention to detail, service ++++ was outstanding. Tracy was our host and gave us a warm welcome. The wine list is also magnificent. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

The ambiance, service and food were incredible. The endive goat cheese soppressata amuse bouche was delicious. Our server suggested pairing the focaccia with a lobster butternut squash soup. The combo was incredible. The octopus was tender and delicious. The duck dish was great. The smoked apple on that dish was underwhelming. The wagyu dish was very well composed. From the cocktail menu we tried the Golden Goose and the Smoked Old Fashioned. The cocktails were a solid 4/5. The wine that was paired with our dinner was good. Wish it wasn't warm. read more

We were excited to go to this restaurant as our first restaurant to check out in Denver and were kind of disappointed. It wasn't worth the cost. It seemed to be upscale with tasty drinks and food. About an hour prior to our reservation we got a message from the restaurant asking if we could come in early so they could close early at 9:00 PM (vs 10:00 PM) due to the weather. We tried to get there earlier than our 7:45 PM reservation and finish our food/drinks by 9:00 PM. We did and right when we were paying our bill at 9:00 PM, the restaurant allowed 2 groups of 4-5 people to sit down and begin eating. It was frustrating that we rushed to finish because of what they had told us but then they proceeded to stay open their normal hours. With the prices they charge for their food and drinks this definitely shouldn't have happened. The food options sounded amazing but the Mahi mahi with potatoes and pasta was served to us cold which made it less tasty. The drinks were great and our waiter was very good as well. I wouldn't go back here because of the cold food and being rushed to eat despite the restaurant staying open for other guests. Definitely not worth the cost and upscale vibes they presented. read more

I'm convinced Wildflower is Denver's best kept secret... but quite sure that it won't remain that way for long. They've nailed the cozy hotel lobby cocktail bar ambiance that you just can't find elsewhere in Denver. It's elevated but unpretentious--perfect for both a special date night or a weekday neighborhood catch-up with a girlfriend. The first time my SO and I came here, we sat for dinner and then ended up migrating to the bar for a few too many drinks because we were having the best time. We fell in love with the whole vibe (and it's a vibe) and the wonderful staff. The menu here is super creative, and the cocktails are outstanding. Without exaggeration, their cocktail program is better than the Denver cocktail heavy hitters like Death & Co, Green Russell, Williams & Graham, etc. Marigold de la Rosa and the Wildflower are my personal favorites but you cannot go wrong. (Do not sleep on the espresso martinis. Despite being off menu they are the best in Denver. I will give you money if you disagree.) Anyway. We loved it so much that we ended up planning a holiday party at Wildflower! Even in planning the holiday party, Oren, the GM, was incredibly thoughtful about both carefully curating our guests' experience and ensuring that private events didn't impact on the community's access to the restaurant. Our party turned out even better than we'd envisioned, and our guests were so complimentary of the entire evening. The very best part of Wildflower is the people, though. Oren has built a truly incredible team. Every single person we've interacted with is a warm, friendly, and fun gem of a human. You can tell they have immense pride in and love what they do. Go now before you can't get in! read more

For my birthday I made me and my husband a reservation, this place was so welcoming and am amazing. Every single plate and drink we got was amazing.

So impressed with Wildflower! We've ordered delivery before (burrata with beets, kingdomcome mushrooms plus their market noodle dish) - it was packaged with care and delivered beautifully. The first time I've ever called a food delivery "beautiful." Today stopped in for takeout. An absolutely thoughtful stuff and well care taken of even for our to go order. A true treasure. Wildflower clearly has a dedicated focus to their food and drinks (whether in restaurant or to go), while never losing sight of the overall experience - again, whether you have it to-go or delivery or (hopefully soon again) in restaurant. read more

There is no question that we will never be back. The waitress we had was lovely. The food was fine. There is a prix fixe menu but it is not "fixed." It is different for every table. They require that the staff ensure that whatever they serve equals the prix fixe total, which was an obvious stress on the staff. We asked the GM why they would do this to their people and he told us that they can leave if they don't like it. We are almost certain, given his behavior, that he will punish our lovely server. read more

Came here on a first date and it was freezing inside when it's 55 out and storming I was so uncomfortable and didn't know I needed an Alaskan Jacket to survive. Then I guess a dinner party was coming at 730, (we sat at 520) and 10 minutes after we sat, the waiter, was rushing us to order our dinner and was asking us several times if we were done with our food throughout the process, it felt rushed and very uncomfortable. Next I'm gluten free and I wanted the steak which said it's gluten-free and he said that was a typo on the menu that the sauce wasn't gluten-free to order something else and the artichoke was gross. The only thing that was good was the cheese plate but I could've made that at home and the non-alcoholic elixir I had was good. It's a pretty place but bad service and nothing to write home about food wise. Definitely won't come back. read more

This restaurant is in an very unassuming building which looked like the lobby of a hotel. But when you walk in it's super cute with a lovely bar and interior. Great ambiance and date night venue! Food was delicious and cocktails were tasty. Love their mead selection, the one we tried was fantastic. We came here after a recommendation from a coworker who also found it hard to find places they enjoyed eating at in Denver. Make a reservation since they fill up fast. read more

Staff was excellent, Atmosphere was nice, but the big round blocks under our table were uncomfortable, kitchen was loud at times. My drink was great, the octopus and focaccia small plates were delicious. The main courses were mediocre. (risotto and duck) the sides that came with the duck were not good and neither of us were able to eat them. Expected really great food for the $200 spent but left disappointed. read more

This place was amazing! Friends of ours recommended the bouquet (chef's tasting menu) and it did not disappoint. Our wonderful server, Jacki took great care of us, and the little amuse bouche plates she made are darling. The atmosphere of the restaurant is upscale yet inviting and cozy at the same time. We also had two delicious mocktails! 10/10 would recommend. read more

If you want an incredible fine dining experience, you NEED to come here. The owner and bartenders made the experience just so incredible. We came here after our engagement and they made our experience just so amazing. Wonderful food, I can't even begin to express how delicious and beautiful their plates were. The drinks were absolutely incredible as well. Overall ambiance was amazing as well, with the decor and lighting. Honestly, our new favorite spot in Denver and we will be returning. Hopefully for our engagement party as well. Thank you to everyone at Wildflower for making our post-engagement dinner so spectacular. If I could rate this place a million stars I would in a heartbeat. I will be recommending this place to everyone we know! read more

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Denver! The atmosphere is cozy and romantic and the food is absolutely incredible. The first time I came here was with a group of girl friends and the 2nd time was a birthday date with my boyfriend. Perfect restaurant for both! Both times we did the Bouquet of Wildflowers and I highly recommend that. You get to try so many different dishes and there was not one that I didn't enjoy. All were such decadent flavor combinations and all were such interesting and different dishes to try. Our server on my birthday dinner was phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Perfection. Beyond outstanding. Just go and try as many plates as you can afford. Went for an anniversary and my wife could not have been happier. The atmosphere is somehow extremely elegant and extremely comfortable. The chef greeted us at the end. So happy that this is not just a restaurant, its a singular person, an artist, that, with help, creates the menu. read more

Ambiance/service feels upscale but the food is ok. We ordered plenty but can't think of one dish that really impressed us, which is a bit bummed for this price point. Didn't live up to the yelp reviews for us. read more

Honestly one of the best culinary experiences of f my life. We got the "bouquet of wildflowers" for 2 and it was amazing. They described everything so beautifully but honestly I couldn't keep track of my favorite dish. Perhaps this was because they were all just so great and the environment and my partners company and the great service just made the experience all the better. I kept telling my partner the next dish couldn't top its predecessor and it was just as magical in its own way . Highly recommend. read more

Not impressed. Our waitress was not a fan of us from the moment we sat down and from then on it was just a struggle. We ordered focaccia.... sold out. Ordered the cheese plate. Ahh well it needs focaccia so was sub par without it. No burrata. No churros. Why even have something on your menu if you're just not going to offer it? It was so strange. What we did order looked pretty but the taste was severely lacking. I mean the artichokes were gross, the tortellini had potential but lacked flavor and again, half the things we wanted from the menu were just not available. On top of that they rushed us out as fast as they could. We were seated at 8:45 and told to order now or hold your peace essentially. For what I paid... I am disappointed. There's plenty of other denver fine dining that hit the mark for cheaper. read more

One of the best culinary experiences in Denver. All around great spot. The food, drinks, decor, vibe are wonderful. Highly recommend

Let me start by saying we visited this place totally on accident....we were planning on going to a casual weeknight dinner across the street and saw this place and thought, "oh it must be new, lets go there instead" so I quickly googled and I don't know what I was looking at (A "wildflower" restaurant in another city maybe? Not sure) and saw a menu with a lot of american small plates and vegetarian options ( a must for us). I tried to make a reservation on opentable for 2 but it kept defaulting to 5....so we just went and they were able to seat us even though we were in jeans and tee shirts and suddenly felt very underdressed. As soon as we looked at the menu it became clear we were not at the place we had thought we were going. Its located in a very fancy boutique hotel in a residential neighborhood. Its expensive. I did not know what many of the things on the menu were....I was furiously googling ingredients and was still confused. My husband, the vegetarian, is not an adventurous eater....he was terrified. Determined to make the best of this, I ordered 3 small plates (all veg)...none of the large plates were vegetarian. OMG....everything we had was absolutely delicious. I still don't understand what half the ingredients were but they tasted wonderful together. We had the focacia, Pozole and Croquetas. All were wonderful. These were truly small plates but what they lacked in size they made up for in taste. I asked our server for a dessert recommendation and that also did not disappoint. We left completely satiated but not too "full." We spent more than we expected to that night, but it was such a great experience. We already are planning to return with our very discerning "foodie" friends. Decent wine list, extensive fancy cocktail menu we did not even get to explore. Truly an experience and not just a meal! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I almost don't want to write a review because I want to keep it all to myself but you deserve to know. The decor is phenomenal, and the service is even better. We sampled nearly everything and every course outdid the last. Do not miss out on this spot! read more

This place is wonderful...from the food, the service, the beautiful space, and even the smell(the candles)! We love this restaurant!!!

Wildflower is a delicious treat away from reality. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here in a true Colorado oasis. The aesthetics immediately send you into a fun western Colorado boho style. The decor is fun and imaginative everywhere you look and the large cacti are the stars of the show. The plating is unique, elegant and creative. I especially loved the idea of a cocktail in a teacup! Each dish is thoughtful in its Colorado native flavors, textures and colors. So many wildflowers, honey, and local ingredients are incorporated throughout the menu. The staff are all kind and attentive. I didn't feel uncomfortable once since all masks were being worn correctly and they did everything possible to stay safe during the pandemic. Our favorites of the night were the focaccia bread, tortellini, frontier fog, and croquettes! We would love to come back and try more of their dishes, as it was agonizing to choose just a few. read more

From service, to food, to ambiance, Wildflower checked all the boxes. Do not walk, run to this amazing restaurant. Katie was our server and she was absolutely lovely. The rest of the staff was just as lovely. We felt welcomed the second we walked through the door. Cocktails were exceptional. Food was delicious and inventive. There wasn't anything we didn't love. Highly recommend making a reservation for a table; makes the experience so much nicer! However, bar seating is available at a first come, first serve basis but filled up fast. We will be back many times in the future. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Wildflower staff! read more

We ate our food before we can take pictures - so, my words are here instead. What a great experience we had. Service was impeccable and amazing at providing the perfect recommendations on small plates and cocktails. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu - however the snap peas, crudo and artichokes is how we started the night & I have no regrets. This is the perfect date place or friends date (highly recommend making a res, it's not a huge place). read more

This is the place to go. By far the best food service and cocktails we've had for years. I love to eat and drink good food and this easily exceeded bigger more established restaurants. Exceptional in every way. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday here prior to going to the theater. Lovely ambience, excellent service and delicious food.

A perfect evening and for which I am most appreciative. read more

When you walk inside, it smells pleasantly of smoke. This was what we were soon to learn were the smoked cocktails, presented with flair by the bartender at table side. Everything at this lovely restaurant is thoughtfully curated, from the chic mountain design to the seasonal, local menu. The food is meant to be shared, and the more things you order, the luckier you will be. We loved everything that came out, and we were especially taken with the honey-themed dessert paired with the honeyed mead. The experience was excellent, the servers knowledgeable and attentive, and the food truly unique and delicious. If you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary evening in a town that doesn't have many differentiated restaurants, look no further than Wildflower. read more

We did the bouquet of wildflowers. One of the best meals we have all had and amazing service. Well worth the money. Great experience.

Wow... all I can say is wow. What a wonderful experience. Service was fantastic. Ambiance was warm, welcoming, and chic. Everything we ate was absolutely superb. Menu is seasonal, but you really can't go wrong. Focaccia bread was a big highlight. Scallops were amazing. Would recommend this for a date night or special occasion. read more

Last night was our second time eating at Wildflower within 3 weeks and it did not disappoint. In fact, last nights experience was even more memorable! Orin, the GM was most welcoming, congenial, humorous, and treated us like family. He and his staff are knowledgable, passionate, and demonstrate the ability to manage a full house with no flaws. Oh and a ton of fun! I highly recommend Wildflower for the amazing service, creative and deliciously prepared food, and yummy cocktails! read more
