Tables

The servers were super friendly and helpful. They even let me order a single scallop added to my starter. The food was on the expensive side but absolutely delicious! I will be going back again soon

So, so, so close to 5 stars — we give it 4.5 as our meal was nearly perfect. First, the restaurant is charming and quaint — a real neighborhood establishment nestled in cute Park Hill. My husband and I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. There is plenty of patio seating but we were shown to a table indoors near a window. We started with the arugula and beet salad, which they were kind enough to to separate and serve individually as we said we were sharing. The tuna tartar followed and both were delicious. The tuna was a generous portion and very fresh and tasty. My main course was the pan seared trout with crispy artichokes and bacon while my husband had salmon with mushrooms and potatoes. Both fish were cooked to perfection, flavorful and fresh. The only downside was dessert. The lemon blueberry cake with lavender frosting was dry, boring and not an impressive end to a remarkable meal. Maybe an off night for the pastry chef?! All in all Tables is a definite gem of a restaurant — we can’t wait to go back!

Had my Mom’s birthday party here. New, hip, and unique menu. I had the vegetarian pop over which was very filling and fresh. The main hit at our table was the half chicken. Three family members order it and raved about it. Start with a salad and end with desert. Everyone liked the S’mores dessert. I will be back to try the carrot cake.
Great atmosphere and fun neighborhood place. I recommend a reservation if it is a big group.

Really enjoyed my dining experience at Tables last evening … The restaurant was airy with a variety of styles of tables throughout. Large windows allowing lots of natural light shining within the space. A Farm to Table restaurant always ranks highest on my culinary list…
Dined out with a colleague and we both ordered the same entrée (clearly she has good taste also). I began with Tables Leaves as the restaurant’s moniker for salads. I ordered the Romaine leaf, Parmesan & Caesar dressing (no croutons). However, to my surprise the salad was topped with anchovies and a smile framed my face & tummy. Yum! Next, I ventured to the Head of the Tables, named for entrees and selected Jumbo wild scallops, mint, Fava bean-​escarole (minus Hannibal Lector) & Saffron risotto. An exceptionally pleasing meal with plump scallops and the hint of mint with the risotto was mouthwatering. I highly recommend this entrée as superb.
I had 2 cocktails (a rum mixture drink) disappointedly I can only remember part of the name, Bella? Smooth, mildly sweet and not too strong so that more than one could be consumed and not feel intoxicated.
I was too full for End Tables, desserts but as I’m writing this review wished I had of gotten the Lemon-​Berry Cake with Lavender frosting or the Strawberry & Rhubarb Key Lime pie w/​ginger snap crust.
If in Denver, make Tables a restaurant to dine, you will not be disappointed.

We have read rave reviews of this restaurant for years and finally had a chance to eat here. It did not disappoint. This cozy neighborhood eatery in Park Hill is wonderful. 4 of us tried salmon, lamb, and trout entrees. There was not a bite left on the plates. It was hard to pass up desserts of S’mores and key lime pie. Ingredients were all fresh, preparation excellent. Tim, our waiter, did a nice job.

My sister-​in-​law had previously visited the restaurant and was kind enough to purchase a giftcard for us. It is definitely a neighborhood restaurant and we were wondering if the meal was going to be anything to write home about. Ohhhh buddy! We were SO thankfully pleased!
We had the following items and enjoyed EVERYTHING:
— Bread
— French onion soup
— Grilled pork chop
— Arctic char (fish)
We wanted to try dessert, but we were stuffed with just soup and the entrée. Their menu changes seasonally so we caught the end of their fall/​winter menu but we’ll definitely be back for the spring/​summer menu. The waiter also mentioned to us that the owners live in the neighborhood and support local so this meal definitely felt like a win win for us!

Unbelievably delicious!
I’m so glad and lucky a colleague brought me here for dinner last night. The restaurant is quaint, the staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. We both had the chicken entrée that was in a ‘just the right amount’ of smoked paprika sauce with a horseradish-​creamed Brussels sprouts and apples. For dessert, I had the pineapple ice cream with poached cherries and ginger biscotti. My colleague had their homemade papaya sorbet. Everything was awesome! Definitely need to plan a trip back here just to enjoy their spring menu items that are scheduled to be available soon.
If you’re looking for and enjoy amazing food… you have to try Tables. You won’t be disappointed.

One of Denver’s best neighborhood places
Innovative and tasty cuisine
Small but good wine list
Friendly staff — albeit one that is often harried and a touch slow

Tables had good service and good ambiance, and the food was good. The quail waffle was a little salty, but the bison steak was pretty spectacular! Solid date night spot.

I was really impressed with Tables. My boyfriend and I went for Valentine’s Day and there was a prix fix menu, which everything on there was sounding delicious. I truly enjoyed my meal. I also had a cocktail called «she wears the pants» and I would definitely order that again! Best part of the meal: the duck parpadelle ragout – tres magnifique! I loved the ambiance and décor as well. Will be back, but only for special occasions. Too pricey for normal meal out.

Perfection! My husband and I had dinner here last night for Valentine’s Day and I was so impressed by everything, food AND service-​wise. The restaurant was cozy and romantic, our server had that professional-​but-​not-​too-​stiff thing down to a T and the food… just incredible! They had a four-​course special menu with three choices for each course and I was blown away by every single thing I ate. Personal favorites were the house papperdelle with duck ragu and the butternut mac and cheese. A truly incredible dining experience.

I hadn’t been to Tables in a few years. It was great back then, so decided to take a chance and schedule a 1^st date there. Kind of risky, trying to make a good impression for a 1^st date and making reservations at a place that I hadn’t been to in awhile.
Wow! Am I glad I took a chance. When I called for the reservation, I mentioned that it was a 1^st date. They called back leaving a message that they would do what they could to make it a pleasant experience.
I arrived before my date did. The hostess ushered me to a corner table next to the window. Perfect! It was a very cozy, romantic spot that afforded a bit of privacy as well. She even asked for my dates name to ensure that he was promptly seated.
The service was spot on as well. Our server was attentive, without being intrusive, allowing plenty of much appreciated time for uninterrupted conversation. The food was impeccable. The appetizer didn’t appeal to my date, but that was my shortsightedness and no reflection on the server nor the kitchen (I found the sweetbreads delightful)! We both ordered the scallops as entrees. Amazing! They arrived with a delicious, crispy sear outside and tender succulence inside. The scallops were served on a bed of risotto that was so creamy that I could have easily mistaken it for dessert!
So, thank you Tables for an absolutely impressive 1^st date experience!
And yes, I do believe that there will be a 2^nd date with this fella in the near future! ;-)

I am fortunate to share the same neighborhood with Tables. Having dined there multiple times, I’m overdue for a review. Tables never disappoints, from the moment you walk in the door until you leave, the hospitality is warm and welcoming. Menu changes seasonally to keep your taste buds engaged. Burger of the day, which isn’t always a «burger», keeps things fun and interesting. Wine list is not extensive, but very well appointed and reasonably priced. Last night I had the Arctic Char (tastes like a cross between Trout & Salmon), and it was nothing short of perfect. Presentation very well composed with elements all complementing the dish. Seafood has always been cooked to perfection each time I’ve dined at Tables. Great food, great hospitality, eclectic décor, warm and inviting.

Went to a buffet catered by Tables, no complaints about the food. My favorite was probably the coq au vin, the skin was incredibly crispy and delicious. The beet salad was also great, i’ve never seen beet pieces that big, tasty. Dessert was a pistachio cheesecake that was good but not incredible.

Really incredible. The meal was fabulous.
I didn’t know what this place was for the longest time. We use the groomer right next door and I never knew there was this hidden gem right there! We went here for our very first date after having our first baby. It was just close enough to home but just far enough away… :)
Excellent meal! All the courses were on point. Unique and fun dishes that change with the season and what’s locally available. Our drinks were tasty (and strong) too!
It may not look like much from the outside but I highly recommend this restaurant and plan to go back… often!

The entire meal was amazing. We started w the Tuna Tartar. It had the right amount of spice, the wontons were cooked perfectly. Almost licked plate clean.
Each of us had a different dish. One tried the special of the day Alfredo flavored w Mushrooms and truffles.
The burger of the day was spot on. The flavor combo was perfection.
The scallops were melt in your mouth heaven and the risotto AMAZING! Not one complaint.
Waiter Tim was attentive. Very knowledgable about menu. I couldn’t have asked for more. Restaurant clean and casual.
Must visit when you come to Denver.

Everything about this restaurant is perfect. It’s tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood of Denver. There’s a small strip of businesses around Tables and Christmas lights were hung between the trees and buildings, very charming.
My friend and I had a reservation for 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, however we arrived at 6:50 hoping to snag a table early, if available. The host and maitre d (the older lady of the two) both said the table would not be ready until closer to 7:15 and suggested there was a wine bar across the street. We walked over to the wine bar and learned they were having a private party. Thankfully there are benches in front of some businesses and we parked ourselves there for a bit.
At 7:25 we entered Tables again and as the host was about to say something, the rude maitre d rushed over to tell us (and the host) the table would not be ready until 7:30! Goodness, can you be nicer about it and offer a seat at the bar? Thankfully the host did offer a seat at the bar until the table was ready. We reviewed the wine menu and as we were about to order, the host seated us at our table.
I can’t remember our server’s name but he was a very friendly gentleman; for reference, we sat in the back room, on the corner benches by the wall. Having seen the menu (online) that morning we both had an idea of what we wanted to order. We asked for sweetbreads as an appetizer instead of side dish (as it’s listed) and our server said that wouldn’t be a problem. He asked us if we knew what they are and we all chuckled. He said he gets customers that think sweetbreads are bread that is sweetened and once the plate arrives, realize what it isn’t, they ask to take it back. Sweetbreads are pancreas or thymus gland. The dish came with carrots, squash, onions and bacon braised in a wine sauce. The sweetbreads were perfect and the entire dish was phenomenal. As my friend said «it’s sweetbreads with bacon, what’s not to love?» I highly recommend ordering it at Tables.
For dinner we each got a meaty entrée. Mine was new york strip steak with mushroom polenta and cherry tomatoes and my friend ordered bison with butternut squash gratin and green beans. Both of our meats were cooked to medium rare and delicious. The chimichurri sauce one my steak was the perfect addition to the meat. My friend said the bison was perfect for her taste and juniper berry reduction was a nice touch while the gratin was rich and creamy.
Having worked in the restaurant industry, I understand the importance of delivering perfectly cooked and seasoned food in a timely manner because the customer is paying top price. At Tables the prices aren’t low but the entire experience of great service, food and atmosphere are part of the price.
Mind you, you are also paying to watch an obnoxious customer change the menu and ingredients to make their own made-​up dish. Two tables over a (heavily plastic botoxed) woman and her husband took a long time to order, asking the server ridiculous questions about substitutions. After he walked away she changed her mind and reordered everything. Yes, we had one of those near us. (A word of note to those customers, if you change things around to fit your ridiculous diet, don’t bother going to a restaurant, everyone in the kitchen will hate you for your requests.)
A note about the bread. Our server brought out the bread (and refilled) timely but we were both feeling meh about the room temperature bread. If the bread is going to be provided on the house, it should be warm! The butter sprinkled with sea salt slightly made up for the average bread.
Docking one star for the mean maitre d and average bread but overall I am glad we tried this restaurant while visiting Denver; a great experience.

Wow! Just wow!
This was one of the best dining experiences I have had on a vacation — without a local friend recommendation, thanks Unilocal — in a long time. It was quiet and yet busy, a lovely space with a variety of antique tables all spaced well so you felt like you weren’t sitting right on top of each other. Our server was efficient, pleasant and always here with something before we knew we needed it.
It’s a much more casual place than you’d think. Shorts and small kids are welcome. As with most places in Denver, dog friendly on the patio. It’s not a pop in for dinner on a whim place really… at $ 25 or so per entrée, it’s a place for most of us to go on a special occasion.
I started with a scrumptious salad: Summer fig, cherry & house made black pepper-​ricotta flat bread with creamed honey for $ 12. You may think $ 12 for a salad is crazy. But the taste combination was perfect — perfect! I could put the creamed honey on everything I ever eat from now until the end of time.
I had the grilled pork dish. The peaches were a lovely touch adding so much to the soft juicy meat. It came with blue cheese and I requested it left off. They did.
The wife — who was there to celebrate her birthday — had the herb smeared NY strip. Yummy! Cooked perfect. My pork wins dinner though… it was just that good! A nice touch when our waiter came up he said he heard «someone was celebrating a birthday» And thanked her for choosing to celebrate her special day with them. A candle came out on her dessert.
This is their summer menu I am reviewing. So by the time you get there it all will be different. I envy you getting to go each season and enjoy such fresh and well prepared food.
The wine list was not too large as to overwhelm you and most everything I could want was by the glass. I even had a lovely port with dessert.
I would certainly recommend this for a nice dinner out in Denver. It looked like most tables were 2 and 4 tops. So keep that in mind if you have a large group.

We’ve been wanting to come try this place since we knew it’s been around for awhile now and still getting great reviews. We took my mom here for Mothers Day dinner this year. The name «Tables» is very fitting for the restaurant’s name with all the different types of antique and eclectic tables — small, big, round, square, different colors and heights. It’s a cozy and homey sort of ambiance, almost like you’ve been transported back to a mid-1900’s Southern town.
We continued to get a warm and fuzzy feeling from our server, who was such a nice guy. His service was open and almost as if he felt like he was serving us in his own home. We nearly forgot we were in a restaurant.
They don’t allow you to use their WiFi and service is really hard to get inside the restaurant, which explains the lack of many pictures given how long this place has been around. We tasted something from all sections of the menu — a salad and soup of the day, the tuna appetizer, we each got a different entrée (ratatouille, lamb and the burger) and we had the smores for desert. We all enjoyed everything. Something we ordered was delayed or forgotten and our desert was comped.
All and all, it was a good value for a nice cozy dinner. I can see why this place will stick around.

Love Tables! This is our go to place for a great meal. We discovered Tables when I took my husband there for his 30^th birthday. We had the tuna tartar appetizer and quail, the pork chop and scallops were both incredible. The bread pudding and pumpkin cheesecake were to die for.
We’ve been back frequently since and never had a bad meal. I love the butter they have with the bread basket and I don’t even eat butter normally. They switch up their menu each season so it’s great to try new things. Last summer, they had this pork chop with palisade peaches that I still dream about…
We were just there last night with a group of friends and got to try the new 2015 spring menu. The lamb loin and ratatouille were delicious! The double chocolate smores are amazing. My husband loved the pistachio cheesecake.
Must try this place!
