I gave it 5 stars because my group liked their happy hour. I am a vegetarian and I don't drink alcohol. So happy hour and non healthy happy hour food does not impress me. But my family liked their calamari and a couple other items they ordered. The 2 ladies behind the host desk were extremely friendly. And a couple of the other staff members whom I bumped into on the way to the bathroom were super smiley. Also they validate parking for 3 hours. So while it is not my kind of food and beverage, I do recommend this place for those who like this kind of food and beverage.

Excellent service! Delicious Italian food. The spaghetti carbonara was very tasty and a nice portion size. We are looking at hosting an event there as well. Also glad that they validate parking since it costs to park at cherry creek.

This is my third visit; we’ve gone here for our anniversary the last two years, and went back because we had exemplary service and food. However, this visit was the most disappointing visit to any restaurant I’ve had in a while. First off, we requested a certain table, because that’s the same table we’d been seated at the last two years. The server we had, was not the server for that section, so she took someone else’s table. Then we place our drink and appetizer orders, which went smoothly. The drinks were delicious, and the calamari was just as good as it’s been the last two years. But our server never brought bread for the table at all. The person who was actually supposed to be our server came up shortly after we had placed our orders and he greeted us and immediately brought water and bread for the table. When he realized that he was not our server, he seemed disappointed and a little irritated that someone had taken his table. After a while, we ordered salads. My husband ordered his first, and as I was indecisive, waited until the appetizer arrived to place my salad order. My salad came first and we asked where my husband’s salad was, and our server said that due to an error with the POS system, the salad hadn’t gone through and she’d get it to us as soon as possible. Then when his salad arrived, it was dressed so heavily, and mine was overwhelmed by parsley. We asked to replace them with something else, which was done easily enough and not put on our bill. Then the entrees. He ordered the same thing that he ordered last year, the lamb chops. It’s a $34 plate, so we had a standard sent in our minds for taste, doneness, and presentation. All three were not met. We ordered it medium rare, but when it arrived it was closer to medium and the outside was so charred that’s all that could be tasted. The potatoes were different from last year, a measly pile of under seasoned, slightly funky tasting mushy cubes. The asparagus was limp and under seasoned as well. My plate was Gorgonzola crusted beef medallions. I ordered medium well, and I was given extra well done. My mashed potatoes were served with that film on top that you get when you’ve left them under a heat lamp, and my roasted veggies were clearly for a frozen mix that tasted 90% of red peppers. We waited and waited for our server to return so we could get them remade, yet she was nowhere to be seen. We asked a different server, and apologizing profusely, he immediately ran to get our server to fix the issue. She came over and took our plates back to the kitchen. Our table was close enough to the kitchen that we could see and hear the chef complaining about our complaints. We finally get our plates back, and everything is cooked properly, but his potatoes are still weird, and my roasted veggies are still horrible. Then it was time for dessert, and we ordered. But it took 10 minutes to get our desserts. We watched as they were placed ready for service, and then looked around for our server, again nowhere to be seen. We also had to ask for our water to be refilled. Not once through the whole meal, did she refill the glasses, even though they were less than half full before we even got our entrees. When we finally got dessert, the tiramisu was good, but the Crema Catalana wasn’t what we thought it would be. It was custard soaking in brown sugar syrup. Almost like an inverted flan. It was not good. We found out that they’re under new management, and have gone corporate, and that’s one of the worst things that can happen to a restaurant like this. This was the most disappointing experience, and we didn’t let it ruin our night, but we will not be going back next year. The first photo you see is last years lamb chops, and the second is this years lamb chops.

To the menu designer, please rename your "Mediterranean Salad" to something else A Mediterranean Salad is supposed to have: tomatoes, onion, olives, feta, oregano, olive oil & vinager as its base. Being this an italian place this had to be returned, it had tangerines, beets, and no feta cheese. Service was great and they brought something else, but what a disappointment.

Decent. Not bad. Maybe over priced for quality of food. Nice atmosphere.

We were able to book for 11 am via OpenTable but they opened at 11:30. We appreciate that they let us in to wait for 30 minutes, since it was cold outside. Our food took so long, over an hour, so we started eating at 12:45. Most of our food were not good. There were only 3 tables being served, service should have been a lot better. Not sure how this place is still open.

It's was good. Extremely expensive. But that's what you get at Cherry Creek. Would I go back? Likely not. Good place to just try. I did give 5 stars. It's worth it. I personally just thought it was good. But the environment was nice the food tasted good it was good quality decent portions the staff is friendly and they do validate your parking. It's definitely a restaurant that you dress up for you get a little nice I would say don't walk in there with shorts or jeans.

We reserved the private room for a family dinner. The food was good. Even though the main restaurant was almost empty on a Friday evening, the wait staff was inattentive. I had to walk around to find someone for additional salad dressing, drinks, and even the bill!

This was my first time here and quite possibly my last. It started off great but quickly went downhill. First we got our calamari and there were some very undercooked pieces that we couldn’t eat. Then when my boyfriends lamb came out it was VERY rare and we had to send it back to get cooked more. We had ordered drinks at the beginning and they didn’t come out until we had to ask about them again and they didn’t come out until we were already nearly done with our meal. I’m never one to complain but after all that we still paid full price for everything and I honestly just don’t feel like it was even close to a $90 experience.

We've been here 3 times over the past several months and it never gets old. The food is fresh and delicious, and meticulously prepared and served by attentive servers. I love the atmosphere and parking is surprisingly easy for Cherry Creek (they'll validate your ticket for the large lot in front). Great place for quiet dining or a shopping break lunch with the girls.

Excellent food, upscale prices. Could be a nice quiet dinner date place or a spot for the family. Very kid friendly despite the deceiving atmosphere. Our waiter brought dough out for the kids to make their own shapes and then baked them in back for them. I wish I could remember the server’s name, but he was excellent as well. If anyone reading this works there, every time I said thank you, he said, “my pleasure” and you had a distinct hair style. Keep this guy around!
