Dinner in Denver

Any recommendations for a nice place to eat on a Saturday night in July? We'll be coming from Rocky Mnt Park and will be staying at the Brown Palace. I'd love someplace "hip and trendy".

Zengo! Hip and trendy and good food and drinks. It's Asian/Latin fusion. Great cucumber mojitos. It's somewhat behind Union Station at Platte River, kind of long but nice walk on a summer evening. You can also take the 16th mall bus to Union Station.

Sounds great. Do we need reservations?

Tamayo on Larimer Square is wonderful. Upscale Mexican. Another (on the same block) is Bistro Vendome.

You can also try LoDo for "hip and trendy". It's more a twenty-something area of bars and eateries. Go to Larimer Square for more slightly upscale restaurants, like Tamayo's, or buffalo burgers at Ted's Montana Grill. Or in the Pavilions, a newer outdoor mall downtown, you could hit Wolfgang Puck's. It's always good. Going the other direction, the Avenue Grill on 17th Street is good, too.

My husband and I checked out Lime on Larimer ( I think-maybe Market st.?) and loved it-great margaritas, cool atmosphere.

For a memorable experience go to Domo--country Japanese. You'll need a taxi--and maybe directions--and reservations. It is a beautiful place with spectacular food and sake.
Glad to read the other suggestions also.

I wouldn't say LoDo is mainly 20-somethings. There are lots of 30's and even older. My husband and I are 50 and we enjoy going to the many places to eat there. True--we don't hit the dance clubs--nightclubs. Trios Enoteca on Wynkoop is one of our favorites--a wine bar with some food and live jazz.

I totally, absolutely love Lime. I was shocked at how good the food was the first time I went!

Mexican - best margaritas around! Very hip/trendy atmosphere, lots of neon green...it's actually "undergound". You have to go down steps on the side of the road to get down to the restaurant.

Also, forgot to mention that they also have a DJ most nights...great place to start off a night of bar-hopping.
