Food: We got a bunch of shareable and was impressed by a lot of them Raviolo: One big piece stuffed with deliciousness. This was by far my favorite. It was incredible rich flavors but made so balanced. Super flavorful, earthy, incredible. The accompanied mushrooms were cooked to perfection. Focaccia: Super yummy and fresh. The middle price is $10 for 5 decent pieces. Not bad. Scallop crudo: This wasn't my favorite but my friend actually loved it. It was sour and also fairly spicy. Really fresh though. They definitely took their time making this dish, which you have to appreciate. Croquetas: These were a bit bland for me but my friend also liked these Drinks: We were both underwhelmed by their wine by the glass selection. I tried a few and didn't really love any. They have wonderful cocktails though! Service: We were at the bar at a low time but it was good Ambience: Super cute and trendy. Their dining room and bar are very welcoming read more

Overall, this is a good experience, not quite great. I will parse out sections of our experience. Decor is very nice and you don't feel cramped in the restaurant no matter where you sit. Service staff are exceptional, obvious they like working here and the clientele. Very good knowledge are the various dishes. The food is good and creative. For example, the Winter Squash Salad was a good mix of flavors with good visual appeal with the various layers. One low point is while the gnocchi were good, eating vegetarian/plant means you need protein. Nothing provided in that regard. The dishes were good and visually creative, just need a few more in each area. Like two or three plant-based options. We tend not to go to places where some type of tip/service charge is automatic. We feel they have to earn it, and then we tip generously. Most good places distribute through the house. We just tipped less as they already had us at 8% for BOH. read more

Wildflower should have been my first review on Yelp - my first dinner here was before I even moved to Denver. A bit on the expensive side as it is fine dining. The service is always impeccable, last visit we had to wait a bit longer than I'd like due to a table before us taking longer but I can't blame the restaurant for this. Food has not disappointed me a single time, I only wish the menu got updated more often as I have had everything on the menu by now and can't wait to see what they come out with next. The interior is dimly lit, bar area is very nice, it's usually not too loud. Oh and the cocktails are phenomenal as well - make sure to try the wildflower if you like mezcal! read more

Food, service, atmosphere were all incredible. I would go back in a heartbeat! Great for special occasions!

If you're looking for a Michelin star quality meal and service, then Wildflower is the perfect place to go. The interior takes on a classy, vintage but modern mood with pink willow-patterned plates, dried flowers and natural wood featured throughout. The warm lighting creates a private feel to the public dining room and the bar is absolutely gorgeous. As for food, the flavor profiles exceeded my expectations. With hidden notes within every dish that made bite to swallow an experience. I had the duck for dinner and it was absolutely delicious; coated in a crispy skin and a tender interior, while being paired with an apple pistachio combination, drizzled with an almost teriyaki flavored sauce was delectable. read more

Came here for Denver restaurant week for the 4 course meal for $55/person served family style. I was very impressed with their service and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The focaccia is probably the best I've had-I loved it with the olive oil and less so the garlic spread and Gorgonzola spread because I found th et overpowered the bread. The artichoke salad was incredible and so was the honey semifredo dessert. I thought the pasta and chicken dishes left a little to be desired. The pasta was a little hard and chewy for my liking but the sauce was delicious (the sausage, broccoli rabe and smoked burrata were a great combo of flavours). The heritage chicken had a nice crispy skin but the pistachio bean side was very bland and I didn't like the sauce that was poured on it either (it was a little bitter). Overall it was a good experience but the fact that the main dishes weren't my favorite was a bit disappointing read more

Wildflower was reminiscent of Rocca in Tampa and slightly vibey of Michelin starred restaurants I've been to--I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying for one. We opted for the Wildflower Bouquet which was explained to us to be an $80 tasting menu per person at the chefs discretion. I am vegetarian and they sent a good array of vegetarian options as well as meat options for my friend. Each dish was near perfect and a delight to the eye as well as the palate. The ambiance was intimate and cozy. It was my friends birthday and they brought her a complimentary little sweet bite with a candle. Our experience was wonderful and would have been 5 stars if not for the ending. Upon receiving our check we realized, instead of a $80 tasting menu, we were just charged individually for each item we were served, which went well over the $160 total quoted to us (we did order 3 drinks so our over total should have come to $205ish but was around $240 pre-tax) If we'd have known the tasting menu was just going to be full priced menu items that we just didn't get to choose, we would have just probably opted to order exactly what we wanted off the menu instead of being served random stuff at full menu price. Mistakes do happen, but this one took 30 mins and sending the bill back 3 times along with our server yelling at us "I did the math myself!" (math which meant taking $8 off the bill) before the really lovely manager/host came out, apologized, and finally corrected it to the menu price which we were quoted at the beginning. The mistake wasn't a huge issue, but the overall handling of it put a little damper on the night. Normally, if a high end restaurant makes a mistake as large as overcharging by $35 they just take 20% off the top to make it right, but we ended up paying exactly what we were supposed to--which is fine, but not exquisite or exceptional service by any means. I think if they are shooting for a Michelin star that will probably be further in the distance than they might hope for. read more

After a lot of research, we decided to come here to celebrate a birthday. (Reservations needed!) The ambience was lovely and the service impeccable. Our server was very knowledgable about the cocktails and steered me away from one that I probably wouldn't have liked. The smoked manhattan was a whole experience with the smoke presentation. We opted to do the Bouquet of Wildflowers tasting and that was really fun. As with high end restaurants, I was worried that we were still going to be hungry by the end of it, but actually it was the perfect amount of food. Everything was delicious and pretty unique with its flavors and textures. read more

From the food to the ambiance, this was a different dining experience, but I really enjoyed it! We had no idea what to get lol so we decided to go with something called Bouquet of Wildflowers, which the chef specially curates our dishes for our dining experience. The service was also so great, our waiter was very attentive! Wildflower Focaccia - Flavorful! It was very delicious, I really liked the spread that came with it, very garlicky, which I like lol Grilled Artichoke - Refreshing! It was nice to have some veggies in the mix, this was a nice palette cleanser. Piquillo Tortellini - Delicious! I loved the tuile, added some extra crunchy texture and the flavor of the tortellini was so good! Croquetas de la Patata - Crunchy! The potatoes were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Defs one of my fav dishes. Lamb Feijoada - Yummy! This was flavorful and the lamb was cooked so well. Ricotta Cavatelli - Amazing! This was so delicious. I loved all the different textures and the components complimented each other so well! Yes Peas! - Interesting! I don't think I'm use to the black sesame being that potent, it went well but also had a strong shot with every sip lol Beauty or the Beast (House Smoked Black Manhattan) - Smokey! I'm personally not a fan of smokey drinks lol but my friend who ordered it liked it so recommend if you like smokey drinks! read more

Had an excellent (and I do not use this term lightly) meal and experience at Wildflower. From the multiple friendly greetings as we arrived to the genuine thanks when we left, we were fully satisfied. Our waiter, Sam, guided us through our Bouquet of Wildflowers (their version of a chef's tasting) which is a steal at price points of $50, $65, and $80 per person considering the amount of food you get. An amuse bouche is brought to you as you await your cocktails. The Smoked Old Fashioned is as smooth as it is smoky as they lift the cloche off the glass. Each dish built upon the next - the freshness of the grilled artichokes to the earthiness of the butternut squash soup. The main course of duck was cooked to perfection with a rich sauce, served with pillowy yet spicy potato croquettes. Even though we were full, the Wildflower Honey Semifreddo was too tempting to not enjoy. Chef's kiss! read more

Honestly better than alot of the other Michelin picks in the area that I've been to. I love this place. It looks very humble from the outside but this is a gem. The service, the food, and the vibe all checks out giving very elevated dining. I love that their whole thing is seasonal more chef tasting menus so while you can do a la carte it is a better experience to just do the tasting experience of them building the tasting for you. The servers are very professional and execute a high level of service without a pretentious air. For the tastings, they are very willing to work with any allergies, requests that you want rather than it being a set tasting menu. For example, no seafood or wanting on specific main for the tasting. Our tasting was a total of 9 plates including chef's starting bite and then small plates, one main, and one dessert. I would say portions are perfect for two. The pricing is very fair and the presentation stunning with very unique flavor pairings and thoughtful dishes. I will definitely be back. Made a reservation and they do have a good happy hour "wildflower hour" from 4:30-5:30pm. read more

Excellent service that went above and beyond from start to finish. Wonderful cocktails and other libations that were welcome indeed. Creative food that almost, but not quite, hit the mark for me. Catey (sp) was our server. But, we also had significant touches and assistance from the hostess and two other employees. All were friendly, helpful, and professional. Cocktails samples included: a Negroni with Mezcal, a classic Gimlet, The Wildflower, and a Gimme Thyme. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. My taste buds may have been a bit off, but a couple of the dishes came across as too salty or surprisingly sour to me. We ordered the grilled artichokes, the lamb tart, the pozole negro, and the ricotta cavatelli. All were visually striking. read more

Cheers to a great celebratory experience! read more

Holy shit. I'm coming back here EVERY time I'm in Denver. - The lamb tart was one of the top 10 best things I've ever eaten. - I seriously wanted to order a second ricotta cavatelli the minute we finished it. This might be my favorite pasta dish ever. I'd pass on the Wildflower focaccia (it's delicious but nothing unusual) and the grilled artichokes (again, delicious, but not the standout). I'd also pass on the large plates (the corvina was fine, but nowhere near the level of some of the small plates). For drinks, The Beast is a smoked black Manhattan...I love a black Manhattan and have never seen one smoked before. It was great. Colorado Sky is an aviation riff, but they go easy on the sotol, so it was mostly just an easy drinker that wasn't all that interesting. We finished with either the Marigold de la Rosa or the Wildflower; I can't remember which, but I know we loved it. I think it was the former. We passed on dessert in favor of walking over to Little Man Ice Cream, which was a nice walk on a lovely evening. This is an adorable neighborhood, and it's worth walking around to explore it. However, next time, I'd be curious to try their desserts! The prices make this a place for a special dinner, mostly because you'll need to order several small plates (again, I'd pass on the large plates and just try more small plates). Also, the cocktails are pricey but generally worth it. We celebrated our anniversary here and were treated to complimentary glasses of champagne to start. TL;DR: Order the lamb tart and the ricotta cavatelli. Add to that whatever else sounds good to you, but BE SURE to order those two. I'm still dreaming about them! read more

What a perfect meal to close out a just-as-perfect week in Colorado. We experienced some of the best restaurants and cocktail bars Denver has to offer, but Wildflower, in my favorite neighborhood of LoHi, may just be the best, an approachable fine dining oasis outside of the bustle of downtown. You truly won't find a better thought out, more well executed meal, done in a way that is friendly and fun, not so stuffy like many fine dining establishments. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, able to accommodate most every need, and even make some helpful, off menu recommendations. The cocktails, to start, are pretty great. The Beast (along with its more delicate The Beauty) is a smoked Manhattan, presented surrounded in smoke under glass. Not only a cool presentation, but an excellent drink. The food is equally divine. From the char on the grilled artichokes, to the superb mushroom medley dish which features mushrooms four unique ways, it's impossible not to be impressed. The focaccia, with that whipped, herbed garlic butter, is too good to pass up as well. While the croquettes were the perfect texture, so light and fluffy, almost cloudlike, inside, they definitely would have benefitted from some garlic and pepper. But, the mezzaluna and cavatelli were the perfect finale to an epic meal, great textures and deep, complex flavors that invited more and more bites. Grab a friend, a date, a spouse, someone off the street, whoever, and try as many things are you can. Beware, though, you aren't going to want to share! Six courses and four cocktails between two people for $175? You won't find a better deal anywhere. Until next time Denver... read more

What an awesome and unique meal! We came here for our anniversary and the staff was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. They brought us each a small glass of prosecco or Champaign. We ordered the larger bouquet 7 course meal which was A LOT of food. All of them were really flavorful and beautifully presented. My favorite was the celery soup that actually had some kind of mushroom nut umami bomb in the center. That was insane. The starter raw scallop dish with passion fruit was fabulous as well. My husband loved the final beef dish. The pasta dish was good too but had too much goat cheese foam for my husband. I'm so glad that we came here and we had such a great time. You should absolutely make a reservation. read more

This has to have been the most beautiful meal I have ever had. The presentation of every detail was so thoughtful and downright artistic. We tried a variety of cocktails, including the In Full Bloom, Marigold de la Rosa, Gimme Thyme, Smoked Old Fashioned, and honey meads with our dessert. They were all so pretty and luxurious, not to mention how incredibly delicious they were! Extremely fresh with real ingredients, none of the syrupy stuff many places offer. Just outstanding! We started with the Striped Bass Crudo. This may have been my favorite dish, hard to say as everything was so wonderful. It tasted like they caught the bass ten minutes prior. The citrus, pomegranate, avocado mousse and cilantro popped without overpowering the delightful fish. It was incredible! We also had the Croquetas de Papa, which were perfectly crisped on the outside and creamy on the inside. It was very reminiscent of grandma's home cooking in an elevated way. We had the Risotto and the mushrooms were lovely. For our main, we had the Coulotte Steak. The mole complemented the perfectly rare steak beautifully. They brought us each a small glass of the honey mead and the Wildflower Honey Semifreddo for dessert. They were the perfect send-off to wrap up our exquisite meal. I also have to mention the interior decor and music. I would stay here all day if I could. It's so beautiful, the music was enticing, and the service was the best you could ask for. We will definitely come back, especially for romantic date nights or special occasions. Wildflower is an experience; we highly recommend it! read more

Not sure how it took me this long to review wildflower as I've been there maybe 5 times in the last year? If you just read this paragraph, here's my summary: one of the best restaurants in Denver for its food, ambiance, and cocktails. A little on the pricier side so perfect for a special date night and to show friends and family, but nothing too crazy that your wallet will be crying at the end of the night. Wildflower is my go-to whenever we have out of town guests. It's around the LoHi area which means you can hop around to different places before/after dinner. It has a cute atmosphere that's perfect for visitors but not overly fancy or extra where you feel you need to dress fancy. I've come here in a dress and I've come here in jeans. Delicious food: go with server recs! For instance, I'd never myself order blistered peas at a restaurant but we got them off a server recommendation and wow they were so perfectly charred and tasty, now we get them every time. Delicious cocktails: all of them are good, whether you want something light or a smoky old fashioned. Frontier fog is incredible. But save some room for dessert! The photo attached was so freaking delicious and their honey dessert is our usual go-to. If you or your friends have pretty basic pallets and think pingeapples on pizza is ~exotic~ then this may not be the place for you. But if you're down for some delicious creative inventions and to show guests that denver does in fact have delicious food, come to wildflower! read more

Wildflower - Roasted Corn Canutillo - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Beautiful atmosphere. Located in a restored hotel, the decor is reminiscent of its cowboy Western beginnings (in a very natural, upscale way). The food on the menu is inspired by nature and produce native to this state. Food was good, but not jaw-droppingly so. I have to admit that for the price, I've had less expensive, more impressive meals in Paris and London. Nevertheless, Wildflower is a solid addition to the Denver scene. Reservations are highly recommended, even weeks out. I would go back again for the beautiful atmosphere. Great for a romantic date night. It's also on a road with other cool spots, so hanging out in the neighborhood would make for a fun night. read more

Well deserving of five stars! Had seen Wildflower on a few must try lists and I was finally able to check it out for a friend's birthday dinner. While it is non-descript from the outside, you are transported to a cozy and classy interior when you step over the threshold. Decoration and attention to design details are on point. The hostess, our waitress, and other staff we engaged with were all super friendly and accommodating. We had a GF/Veg in our group and they were very helpful in identify what she could and could not eat. Cocktails were delicious, food was even better! Everything was bright and fresh and presentation was impeccable. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for and that is an elevated experience. They even made sure to note my birthday indication on my OpenTable reservation and brought out a special treat for our birthday girl. 10/10 would recommend for a cozy date night or evening with friends. read more

It's been a hot minute since I've been impressed from start to finish with a restaurant in Denver. Don't get me wrong- love the food scene here. But this place kicks it up a notch. You walk in and it feels like New York. Take that as you will- I'm an east coaster so it felt like home. Beautiful decor. Immaculate vibes. People enjoying themselves.

The place reminds me of some burning man camps.. dark vibe, dried flowers, old style fancy tall glasses and silverware, and China- like plates. Pan and polo music in the background, and the waiters are all dressed up. Drinks were great, but very small.. The kind waiter recommended a few dishes z we took some of his recommendations (endive salad, analotte, fuccacia, steak) and ordered a few more dishes that looked cool on the menu (risotto and lamb tartar). Somehoweverything that came recommended was delicious but tiny (endive salad had 6 small leaves, analotte had 5 small pieces, 8oz of meat for the steak), while the other dishes were more "normal" (still on the smaller size), but just... not tasty :/ I still can't decide whether this is a 2-3 star place or a 5! read more

This was the last meal I had during my trip to Denver this past week and what a way to end it. I was speechless and made sure we left no crumbs on any of the plates before they were taken back. This is an intimate fine dining restaurant in lohi neighborhood. The staff are super attentive and accommodating to any questions we had in regard to the menu. We were a bit indecisive between bouquet of wildlflowers (~tasting menu) and choosing dishes off the menu. We ended up choosing our own dishes because we wanted more control on what we were going to eat and had did some peaking around beforehand so had our heart set on 1-2 dishes. Our order included: - Wildflower focaccia (love the whipped garlic, rosemary. you can get different portion sizes so a nice bite between plates or to kick things off or both) - Lamb tart (The lamb x shallots x other veggies combined into the tart comes bursting into your mouth with tons of flavors and textures. And all these components just work and tastes GOOD. - Croquetas de la Patata (Crisp on the outside, but soft/pillowy in the inside. As a potato lover, this was comfort food elevated the right way) - Seared scallops (I am still DREAMING about these scallops. I took one bite and melted. The japanese yam was sooo light and alongside the chipotle honey, ricotta it enhanced the already well cooked scallops to another whole level. The flavor profile in this dish was so addicting, we questioned ordering another. If they have this on their small plates, GET IT.) - Branzino (i enjoy a great crispy skin char on my fish especially. The nopales and prickly pear combo worked so well) - Rhubarb Bavarian (cardamom white chocolate and almond praline kept me wanting more in this perfectly balanced dessert) The only part that sucked was that it ended, I felt in denial after this amazing meal and experience. I'm extremely thankful to my friend who recommended me this restaurant because I don't know if I would've come across Wildflower otherwise. Out of all food spots I went to Denver (including some that are on the Michelin Guide), this by far wins and who knows might join the list very soon. I'll be back again when I'm in Denver and again be torn between getting these dishes I loved and choosing the bouquet of wildflowers to try more dishes that I'll probably enjoy too. read more

TL;DR: there are better experiences out there for the same price. Were this a review for the food and general ambiance alone, Wildflower would be a 4-5 star experience, but our experience there was substantially impacted by our interactions with management. We went to Wildflower back in October (yeah, it's been a minute, I know) for my husband's birthday dinner. We arrive punctually for our 6:15 reservation. We are awkwardly seated alone at a large table for eight. Along with the greeting, we're immediately informed that we have to keep to our time limit (1hr 45min), as another group has reserved our table for the 8:00 slot. Fair enough, though it is a shorter slot than we've seen at comparative establishments. We order cocktails as soon as the server greets us after our seating. It takes 15-20 minutes for the cocktails to arrive, at which point the server returns to take our order. We order our bottle of wine, appetizers, and entrees all in one go. Then we wait. And wait. By 7:25--remember, this reservation started at 6:15--we have only received our appetizers, which would be fine, but we're very mindful of our time window. Considering we want to order dessert, we're concerned with the pacing. At 7:25, our entrees arrive. Shortly thereafter, the manager comes over to reiterate that we need to leave to accommodate the next reservation. My husband pushes back on this. This is a special occasion for us, we didn't choose to put ourselves at this table, and we don't determine when the food comes out. The manager excuses the rush by stating that, if they allowed more time for reservations, they would have to charge as much as other restaurants of their caliber. Dear Reader, Wildflower DOES charge as much as other restaurants of their caliber. We eat our entrees quickly and then...wait. At 7:45, the manager comes back and asks us to vacate the table 15 minutes early to move to the bar, where they have comped a birthday dessert and they've offered free glasses of dessert wine. No prob. We're a bit irritated by the tone, but we'll take the inconvenience in exchange for a freebie just about any day. We move to the bar. Weirdly, they don't ask my husband what dessert he wants and they don't ask if we want separate desserts. The dessert they choose is very much not the one my husband would choose. Finally, we pay and go to leave. On our way out, the manager stops us and my husband thanks him for the freebies. The manager responds appreciatively, but then he says he understands that customers sometimes "lose track of time" and linger overlong. It is both condescending and patently untrue in our case. We had just spent our special dinner checking the time repeatedly. Our dinner conversation was increasingly centered on worrying over the plating pace, which we had zero control over. Then for the manager to act as though we were the problem really put a nail in the coffin for the whole experience. read more
