The best places for Valentine’s Day dinner in Denver

It seems like every year I forget about Valentines Day until about the 12th of February, by then it’s too late to make any reservations and I end up taking my wife to a boring chain restaurant and get no brownie points. This year, I am on top of my game, and I am here to help you as well…

According to Yelp the top ten spots for Valentines Day dinner in Denver are:

  1. Guard and Grace
  2. Odyssey Italian Restaurant
  3. Tavernetta
  4. Fruition Restaurant
  5. Root Down
  6. Barcelona Wine Bar RiNo
  7. Nocturne
  8. Angelo’s Taverna
  9. Culinary Dropout
  10. Williams & Graham

As of the time this article is publishing, Guard & Grace, Odyssey Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar, Root Down, and Culinary Dropout still have some reservations available on Feb. 14th. on Open Table. It is possible the others still take reservations via phone, but it’s probably best to try sooner than later.
