Bringing the beautiful turquoise oceans to Denver and uniquely named with Victorian-era slang meaning “properly-done,” Bang Up to the Elephant! serves West Indies-inspired cuisine, complete with clean, fresh ingredients, and intense spices and heat. The tropical postcard setting reflects the different approaches found in the restaurant’s scratch-made vegan offerings, and vegetarians, omnivores, fruitarians, and airitarian will be thrilled by the unexpected and creative options. 

Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood

We love Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood! Check out five reasons why!

A brand new offering from the team at Carmine's on Penn! Nestled in a brand new development and surrounded by shops and residences, it’s the perfect place to find homestyle Italian eats after catching a game or enjoying the plaza.

D Bar Denver

The D in D Bar stands for drinks, dining, and dessert. You will find all three in this culinary sanctuary filled with upscale comfort food and seasonal desserts. Whether you want the full dining experience or to top off your evening, D Bar Denver is a must do.

Downtown Aquarium

Enjoy a unique underwater feast for your eyes and stomach as you are seated around a 50,000 gallon centerpiece aquarium filled with tropical fish from the Caribbean Sea, Hawaii, South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

Our Tips

  • Make your reservations NOW!
  • Flexibility is the key to getting a reservation at your top restaurant choices.
  • Be sure to cancel if you can't make it so others can take your spot.
  • Bringing kids? Make your reservation on the earlier side, since prime dinner times will be busier than usual. 
  • Remember to tip well!
  • Take photos to share on Social Media and tag the restaurant.
  • Leave a positive review, let the staff know how much you enjoyed your meal, and tell your friends about your experience. Participating restaurants hope that Denver Restaurant Week will increase traffic throughout the year!
