Louis Baltimore: Maybe the best traditional “red sauce Italian” place in Denver. All the good stuff- parmesan, gnocchi, carbonara etc. Can’t go wrong. Great cheesecake too.
Denver Westword: The Cherry Tomato is a comfortable place with cracked-tile floors and rough brick walls, a bar crowded with locals and a young, eager staff. Read more.
Megan Haeffele: Terrific salads. Really caring servers.
Sara Power: So delicious! Always juicy burgers, amazing truffle fries with a truffle aioli! I recommend the Bison burger and the Primetime!! But you really can't go wrong!
Jeremy Garber: Good beer selection, excellent burgers. Get the Goodnight/Good Cause and raise money for charity too!
Stephen Headrick: Try the burger with bison meat. It doesn't disappoint!

sarah vergara: I can't stress enough that CCG has the best French dip Au jus. Something about the perfect thinly sliced prime rib, not-so-chewy bread, and the au jus itself
Brooke: The tuna burger paired with a glass of Prisoner wine is delightful.
Denver Westword: Try one of the wines on their long list of domestic wines -- you can get them by the glass! Read more.
