We went here for my birthday dinner and the food was absolutely incredible. The seitan wings half and half were a favourite even for my non-vegan friends. I also loved the 2 piece cauliflower chicken with Mac and cheese side. It was perfectly crunchy and tasty! Cocktails were great too! Our server, Josie, was informative and super friendly! I’m not from Denver but I’ll be returning again before heading back to Australia for sure!

We had a great night out with friends at Oblio’s Pizzeria. A big thanks for the table for 8! Oblio’s is nestled in a cute part of Park Hill, and the aroma of good pizza had my attention from across the street! The service was excellent and the drinks were flowing. A big thank you to the service and chefs… It was a hot evening and you all were working it! I might suggest that the ceiling fans be replaced and turned on… it was a hot room evening with the sun setting and the big windows open… hence the many cold drinks! And let’s talk pizza!!! Our Godfather and Hey Mambo were fantastic… the crusts and sauces were excellent (one red, one pesto). Totally fresh and tons of flavors… I wanted to order one more, but we had a Pride party to get to! We will definitely come back. I hope I don’t let the secret out for the Park Hill residents, but you have a true gem with Oblio’s!

Definitely coming back here once it’s warmer outside. The service was amazing and attentive. The catfish bites were the star for me. I’m loving the music at this venue too. I knew a lot of the artists played and not a lot of people know of them since it’s alternative r&b. The date I had was perfect and we both plan on coming back with friends. This is great place to take someone that has dimmed lighting upstairs so it’s not overwhelmingly bright. Thankful that you guys exist and cultivated a space that’s welcoming, low-key, and feels good to be in.

About the restaurant
Nolia - Formerly Dig In Eats - is a continental European style restaurant with a south Louisiana influence. We have a 100 item menu of a la carte charcuterie (works like a sushi menu - choose your own adventure!), small plates and tapas, fresh local breads, and full-flavored homemade recipes. We are extremely sensitive to food allergies and restrictions, and most items on our menu can be made gluten free, nut free, etc. We have vegan and vegetarian options, and are happy to modify our plates to suit your needs.

Our food is scratch-made, and slow-cooked. Southern faves such as Crawfish Etouffee and Red Beans pair up with ceviche, beef tenderloin carpaccio, and awesome weekly specials. Chef Lilli Black is from Louisiana, and brings her southern cooking along with her love for spanish, italian, and french cuisine.

This is an incredible hidden gem. Formerly "Dig In Eats", Nolia (better fit for the experience) is top-notch food, with extremely fair pricing and a really good wine menu. Most wine bars don't have a full but Nolia. An extensive list of options for charcuterie boards, weekly specials that are spectacular, and, of course, their staples of apps and entrees which are always a hit.

About the restaurant
A dining experience unlike any other can be found at STONEWALL, in the Rocky Mountain town of Steamboat Springs, CO. One look at their menus and the mission is clear. Colorado, first and foremost. Restaurateurs Chris Stackpole & Kell Kaiser with their hand-picked Executive Chef, Justin Meadows, want the world to experience the culinary heritage and frontier traditions that built the Rocky Mountain West. The seasonal menus are dominated by traditional proteins, fruits, vegetables, beers, wines, and spirits that generations of Coloradans, native and new, survived and thrived on. Everything about this one-of-a-kind dining destination tips its hat to the men and woman whose sacrifices paved the way for towns like Steamboat Springs and for passionate, talented individuals like Chris, Kell, & Justin to thrive while calling them home.

Such an inviting and open space, and the booth we were in was so quaint and cozy. We started with the stuffed mushroom which was far above your average stuffed mushroom, elk tartare, and the skillet cornbread was divine. Also had the grouper which is not a common offering in Steamboat and it was perfection. The service is attentive, charming and convivial . A place you’ll want to go on the regular.

About the restaurant
Modern Mexican with an American twist. Barbed Wire Reef incorporates the best of classic Mexican dishes, that the brother and sister owners, Rico and Flor Aragon, grew up loving in Mexico, adapted with American taste in mind, making the menu both crave-worthy and one-of-a-kind at the same time. The design was inspired by the two’s childhood and continued extensive travels back to Mexico. Ceramic oversized tiles behind the back bar emphasize the architecture found throughout Mexico City. The lush vegetation growing inside the restaurant and throughout the patio, remind guests of a modern resort stay in Tulum. Hospitality is at the core of the brand, the mission is to create an experience you would have in Mexico, dining at someone’s home with a gracious host.
