Steuben’s is named after a restaurant in Boston that my Great Uncles, Max and Joe, opened in 1945. Steuben's became a famous Boston restaurant, nightclub, and hotspot from the 1940’s to the 1960’s on Boylston Street. The Vienna Room, The Cave, and The Blue Room were all part of the Steuben's space and hosted Big Band, Jazz, and Swing groups with The Rat Pack, proms and sweet sixteens, and more. In its prime, Steuben’s was the center of the Boston dining and nightlife scene.

Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul. Even its name pays homage to its South Broadway sibling restaurant The Hornet, while tipping a cap to its storied Italian predecessor Patsy’s. The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

    Exceptional Service & Delicious Food at Saltwater Social I had an amazing experience at Saltwater Social, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tim! From the moment we walked in, his warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a fantastic meal. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made our visit truly special. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a testament to the high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite or a memorable dining experience, Saltwater Social delivers on every level. Tim’s exceptional service made all the difference, and I can’t recommend this place enough. Looking forward to coming back soon! Tim and Neil have sex appeal!

    I’ve returned here several times. Service is excellent. Food is outstanding. The menu changes, but I have not found a dish I do not like. The servers have always made excellent recommendations for both flavors and quantity of food based on the member of people.  it’s a great date night restaurant, but I recommend four people, because then you can try almost everything on the menu.

    Caveat: it was St. Valentine's Day and we would definitely go back .... we arrived for our 445 pm reservation, got to choose our own seat (as there were only a few others in the restaurant at that time), and had our order taken almost immediately. Server was terrific. Food was amazing and served very quickly. Then the restaurant filled up and we waited and waited to see our server again. When we finally did (40+ min later), we ordered more food and drinks, yet those took close to an hour to arrive. There were many tables around us -- all filled -- either waiting to place their initial order or waiting to get their check. Throughout this, the line at the door backed up and up and up. Have to say, round two of the food and drinks was just as amazing and the server was very apologetic and gracious. She even dropped off a few shots of tequila as a gift. Overall, the food was great, the staff - although overwhelmed - was gracious. As I said at the outset, we would definitely go back.
