Reviews for Avelina in Denver, CO
Get the tasting menu and a bottle of wine for a great time! Everything was amazing. Lots of new flavors and creative dishes. The... chefs put their own unique twist on classic dishes to create a memorable dining experience. Service was also incredible. Thebartenders deserve some type of award for their hard work. Read more
We had the Chef's Family style. It was six courses all from the menu. Not pre-determined. The food was good. The portions were... larger than I was expecting. Our waitress Bree was fantastic. Would definitely go back. Read more
Loved everything about this place. The ambiance, our server, the entire food experience. I cannot recommend this place enough.... Get the charcuterie board. We devoured before I could take a photo. Read more
An amazing food experience. They allowed us to come in without a reservation on one of their slower evenings. Service was really... good and the food was absolutely amazing. Portions were not huge but not small... More like just right. Everything was very,very tasty and worth it. Read more
This place is amazing on levels. Despite being restaurant week, Avelina is a well oiled machine where the service is attentive... and everything was timed perfectly. There was not a single dish or drink we didn't thoroughly enjoy. We ordered the smokedcarrot dip, sweet potato bravas, wagyu beef carpaccio, brussels sprouts, bison ribs, pork tenderloin, red velvet chocolate chipgelato, and raspberry yuzu sorbet. Everything was well balanced and delectable. Unfortunately that also meant the food was sogood I forgot to take pictures of everything. I will note the portions are on the smaller side, but for how good it tasted itwas still worth the cost. Shout out to our server Jen! We will definitely be returning in the future. Read more
Easily the best meal we had while visiting Denver. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The dining room is... understated but comfortable and not too loud. The service was considerate and personal, thank you Jen. Read more
Absolutely incredible. Champagne was delicious, our server Jolie (sp? I didn’t look at the receipt) was super knowledgeable... and kind and funny! She made us feel right at home. Damn near cried when I put that Monkfish in my mouth the first time. And thepanna cotta?? The sounds I made when I tried my first spoonful of that should probably be banned by the Geneva Convention. Ieven tried a mussel. A MUSSEL. The girl who can’t stand condiments on her cheeseburger ATE a MUSSEL. ???? “And she wasbeautiful…”???? I feel like since the pandemic, almost every restaurant went through hardship. Some excelled, some fell bythe wayside through no fault of their own - and some of them took advantage of that hardship through laziness and a completelack of consideration for their customers. It can turn a mood sour or a good day bad so quickly, and I’ll admit I’m always alittle nervous going to a new restaurant for the first time. But this was NOT the case at Avelina. I have never felt so lookedafter by a server simply doing her job - with the rest of the staff backing her up every step of the way. Bravo! Will telleveryone I’ve ever met - including people on the street - they should eat here. Thank you for making my best friends birthdaysomething to remember! Oh god that reminds me, also - I wanted to bathe in that gelato. Well done all around. Thank you so much!???????????????????????? Read more
Evan was a delight, joy in human form. He had great recommendations and guided us through the chef's tasting which is an... absolute *steal of a deal* compared to other kitchen tastings in the Denver area - quality and flavors were exquisite,especially for the price. Highly recommend as an impromptu date night idea! Read more
