Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Central

We celebrated our anniversary tonight at the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver and had a wonderful time. My husband had the tenderloin, small portion (which was anything but small). It was cooked exactly to his liking. I ordered my grilled salmon 'cooked no more than medium rare' and it, too was perfect. Although the salmon seemed a bit pricey at $44 one needs to consider that all of the entrees include a very nice house salad and choice of a carb (potato baked, mashed or chips or wild rice pilaf) and warm rolls. Our service (thanks Kay!) was excellent. We'll be back!

What a great find! We wanted to spend the day at the Denver Art Museum and realized that The Ponti serves a lovely lunch offering. Our drinks were all spot-on (smooth, well-crafted) and each of the entrees our party enjoyed were great! From burgers to a tempeh rueben sandwich to a super luscious salmon benedict -- all were cooked perfectly and very tasty -- we definitely will return. One of the highlights of the lunch was our amazing server -- just pleasant, funny, and very efficient. If you are looking to spend some time in the area, I highly recommend The Ponti!

I have never had a meal that was so well thought out and delicious. It was extraordinary and I will happily eat there again.

Bistro Barbés was the ideal place for a date night, special occasion, or simply just a place to treat yourself. The food was delicious, the wine was delectable and the chef was a delight! Consider yourself blessed if you get a chance to order the duck leg confit. Will be recommending this to all our friends!

We had a 7pm reservation, but it was so busy we didn't get seated until 715. The front was a little loud, but our seat near the back was great although it was quite warm. Our server was new so it was hard to get a lot of input but she was nice. We had the top tasting and it was very good. Lots of snacks, not a cheap night ending at $300.
