June 18,: I wish we had the names of these serious servers because they were really great ) We met our friend from Atlanta before the rodeo at the Rialto adjacent to the Marriott where he was staying. It was happy hour and really busy but we managed to get 3 seats at the bar next to the service bar. The young woman who was bartending acknowledged me immediately and took our order immediately. Happy hour menu was super reasonable and that’s what we had for dinner. A couple of orders of steak tacos, some ribs, some calamari. All well prepared and tasty. The ribs were dry rubbed which I like much better than having sauce drip all over. When she was getting crazy busy another young lady bartender came over and offered our refills without us having to ask. We returned after the rodeo for a nightcap, the cocktail waitress was really nice, brought water without being asked ( she must have read my mind) and was prompt with drinks, refills and had such a fun personality. Although it was closing time and she was cleaning up and doing her side work at the tables she never rushed us to leave. We live north of Denver and of course, I used TripAdvisor to research where we were going to eat. Once I realized we were going to be short of time I noted that the Rialto was adjacent to the Marriott which would save us time and was convenient to the busses. The prices were extremely reasonable for downtown Denver and the food was darn good. If you are in Denver I highly recommend this place, we like to sit at the bar, there are many high top tables surrounding the bar which we sat at when we came back the second time and the bar was full. The dining room looked comfortable. The only thing that bothered me was the level of the music, it was really loud and made conversation slightly difficult for more than two so if I could tell the management to turn it down a couple of...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I showed up on a Saturday morning-ish, around 11:30. We were told that it was a 30 minute wait. After some time (didn’t keep track but we were very hungry) we were offered to sit at the bar, we declined and were set on table seating. The restaurant itself is cute, nicely decorated and has a Wes Anderson movie playing on a tv behind the bar. After getting seated and being served a glass of water (we had gotten coffee while waiting for our table) we were then informed that they were out of the breakfast potatoes and the eggs Benedict (and a couple other items) this was around 12-12:30. The entire reason for visiting this particular place is because the eggs Benedict were so highly praised, so to say the least we were disappointed. Instead I ordered the Wilshire omelette with hash browns (other option would have been breakfast potatoes) my boyfriend ordered the quiche of the day which happened to be the Wilshire quiche. Our orders arrived quickly but the eggs in my omelette were significantly over cooked and the quiche was very spinach heavy and the dough was undercooked. Our main disappointment stems from the fact that the two main dishes we wanted were sold out before we were seated. Had we known this we would have eaten somewhere else and avoided waiting 30 minutes and eating over...
Read moreIts small so expect to wait. HOWEVER, TOTALLY WORTH IT. I had the breakfast burrito "becky style". So good. Wasn't greasy. Wasn't over cheesy like they tend to be. Something so simple always has me asking myself "how can this basic meal possibly be ruined"... Yet, im often dissapointed. But this was really really really delicious. I had it with the side of potatoes, personally I dont care for potatoes and i always end up giving them to my boyfriend. BUT maaan, these were soooo good!! I couldnt stop eating them! So much food too. My boyfriend got the salmon and egg, that was delicious too! I had to try it because generally the salmon tends to be so salty. Not here. Just delicious. Oh, and the coffee. It was strong, couldn't ask for more. This is joint my boyfriend often goes to. But ive never been just cause the wait is generally long and I get hangry and turn into a little beast if i dont eat RIGHT THEN and THERE but lesson learned. Worth the wait!!! Staff is attentive, they're nice. Not like fake nice cause they work with customers, but they seemed like genuinely like nice people when they would interact with...
