In the age of the pandemic this experience was by far the best dining experience we've had to-date. The service was impeccable and the food went beyond our expectations. We very much look forward to going back. Thank you, Coohill's, for such a lovely evening.

Seriously obsessed !! My fiancé and I came in to take a tour and discuss options for our wedding dinner. We instantly fell in love with the space and the incredible owners! Hospitality here is top notch and the food is AMAZING... like I wanted to cry amazing!!!! So much thought and love goes into every dish (or at least it tastes that way) and even into the cocktails. We are definitely booking Coohills for our wedding dinner and will be forever customers.

My husband and I went to dinner at Coohills last night- only 2nd dinner out with just the two of us in 11 months (thanks, COVID). The service, ambiance, and food was amazing! We started with the Blue Crab Cake, which you may think $21 is pricey for a "starter", but it's gluten free so it's light, but full of flavor, and was very much so worth the price. It was a good portion and we'd both say it was the best crab cake we've ever had. My husband got the Branzino and I got the Winter Vegetarian dish. I'm not vegetarian (love a good steak), but when I asked the waiter to tell me about it, it sounded so good I went with it. Both of our dishes had our mouths watering as we ate them. Portions were perfect- we left feeling satisfied (not still hungry, not grossly full) and worth every penny. Glad they've been able to stay in business during this hard time.

My wife and had a very enjoyable valentine dinner here. The food was plated beautifully, and was handled delicately. The cocktails were delicious and the coffee was strong. They made the best chocolate mousse I have ever consumed.

“What a wonderful place! My company hosted an event here this past weekend and it was perfect. The staff was so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. The food was to die for, loved everything they brought out. The location of the restaurant was really nice as well and highly recommend to come here for any occasion whether it be hosting an event, date night, or even just drinks with a few friends. They have a wonderful selection of spirits and the bartenders are knowledgeable and make divine drinks that are strong and savory!!

Will be recommending this place to others! As well as if I'm ever back in town you can find me here!”

Jenny / March 19, 2019 / via Google Reviews

“Liked the atmosphere and the location. Our waiter was really great and the food was good. My favorites were the tartine and crab cake. Dessert was also great. My friend's coffee was cold at first, but they quickly brought out a new cup when we told them.”

Julian M. / March 14, 2019 / via OpenTable

We went for Restaurant Week and had a nice dinner with wine. Dinner was creative and tasty. The wine was very good and was a good deal. We would go back!

Luke W/ March 14, 2019 / via Google Reviews

Coohills - you NEVER disappoint. Tom and Diane have built one of the best places in Denver for food and atmosphere. Every time I come it’s a first class experience.

Elena R. / March 13, 2019 / via Google Reviews

Amazing experience for my 30th Birthday! If you are planning on hosting an event or a special dining celebration don't hesitate. We happened to come in for 5280 and much of the meal was fantastic. We were also able to arrange for champagne, charcuterie and a really tasty birthday cake in addition to the meal which made the dinner a true celebration. The staff is super attentive and they wen't the extra mile to make our night special and to get us out on time since we had a show that we had to get to. I have also been to Coohills on another night and the food and cocktails were awesome. Thank you Coohills!

Whitney / March 12, 2019 / via Direct Email

Hi Shayla-

WOW, THANK YOU!!!! Honestly, it was a little crazy planning/designing an event that quickly and you were just such a delight the entire way through. We appreciated your quick responses and cheery disposition at all times. Your staff is also so friendly and wonderful.

And the food was amazing! Thank you!

We hope our paths will cross again soon, and look us up if you come to the Bay Area :)

All the best,

Whitney

Casey C. / March 12, 2019 / via Yelp

The steak was top notch, they got us in before a game and the staff was fantastic. I can also highly recommend the flatbread's. The 4 stars is simply due to the slow wait times for food and price being a bit high for quantity. A place I will definitely return to in a pinch.

Murphy P. / March 9, 2019 / via OpenTable

Highly recommend Coohills especially during Denver Restaurant week! The half price bottle of wine made the evening even better. The staff take great pride in working at Coohills and it shows. They are very professional and personable group that provides attention to detail to their customers. Looking forward to dining at Coohills again.

Thanks for making it a great date night during restaurant week! Your food and service was outstanding. Please give kudos to your staff for working during the cold snowy evening on March 2nd. They were knowledgeable, professional and yet personable. Everyone from the Host, server, sommelier, mangers and cooks show great pride in being at Coohills. Thank you!

March 2, 2019 / via OpenTable

We decided to celebrated our anniversary at Coohills. We were pleased with the limited menu that was offered for Denver Restaurant Week as we were able to try multiple items from the standard menu. Jamiee, our server, took the time to offer menu suggestions and recommended specialty cocktails that were smoked table side by Maria. We were very pleased with the experience that was provided by Jamiee, the sommelier, Jeremy, and the bartender, Skykar. We look forward to dining again soon.

March 1, 2019 / via OpenTable

First time there, very impressed with the patio and restaurant look and feel. Great service, well-paced and we felt taken care of. The food was excellent and will bring us back!

John W. / February 20, 2019 / via OpenTable

I had made reservations for two. My friend got to Coohills before I did. He was setting at the bar and I joined him instead of at a table. The food and drink at the bar was awesome and the staff was attentive and very welcoming. We had on the glass tickets to the Avalanche game and to the Lexus dining room at the Pepsi Center. We both felt very lucky we ate at Coohills not in the Lexus dining room. We will be back.

Katie A. / February 13, 2019 / via Direct Email

Hi Shayla,

I want to thank you for hosting our team dinner last month, everyone has commented on how much they enjoyed having a space that was easy to mingle in and how they enjoyed the food. I hope we will have a summer occasion to host an event on your patio!

Thanks again,

Katie

Coohill’s never disappoints. Ever. There’s a reason this restaurant has stood the test of time as Tom is continually refining and developing the menu and beverage program. It’s my go-to restaurant whether I’m entertaining for business or out for an intimate dinner with a loved one or friend.

Abby B. / January 31, 2019 / via OpenTable

Best dinner I’ve had in Denver! Such amazing staff and ambience at Coohill’s!

Jenny S. / January 30, 2019 / via Yelp

We had attentive service which is somewhat random these days. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. The restaurant is way bigger than you realized from the outside!

A visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art brought us downtown and since it was just after 5 pm when we were done, we decided to wander around and find someplace to get an early light dinner.

We, luckily, were there during happy hour and got discounted old fashions. They weren't the best we ever had but warmed us up on a cold evening. I like that the bring a carafe of water to the table so we didn't have to hunt down water refills.

My hubby ordered a flatbread pizza off of the happy hour food menu. I couldn't find anything that met my dietary needs on that menu so I opted for a crab cake off the appetizer menu which is made gluten free. I can honestly say it was the best crab cake I have ever eaten. Lots of big chunks of crab meat plus it was moist. At $18 it was stretching the budget for me but after eating it at least I felt like the quality was there to help justify the price.

They appear to have a nice private party area in the back that can be sectioned off with a curtain. Keep that in mind if you need to throw a higher end party like a retirement, small office Christmas party, etc.

We will likely go back to Coohills at some point and try eating full meals. I think we will be happy if we do.

Heidi T. / February, 2019 / via Google Reviews

I had a fantastic meal here this week with my wife. Jamie. Our waiter. Was kind and soft spoken, knowledgeable about the menu and spot on with recommendations. I wish the restaurant would post a video of them making the Aspen rye concoction with the smokey cloves. Was a very cool presentation.

Zach R. / February, 2019 / via Google Reviews

Had a work event here. Staff was great and the food was amazing. Will definitely come back when I have the chance.

Brad L. / January, 2019 / via Google Reviews

We had a company party here and the staff was excellent, food was damn good, and the adult beverage selection is extensive. Top shelf.

Trent T. / January, 2019/ via Google Reviews

I've only sat at the bar but it's a great place to pre game before a game at the Pepsi Center. Huge selection of drinks and great selection of food at the bar too. Staff is super friendly.

Kourtney H. / December, 2019 / via Google Reviews

We had our company holiday party here on 12/8/18, I was so impressed with the whole process. Shayla, their Director of Special Events, was so responsive and helpful from beginning to end. We had over 200 people, in the beginning of the evening it felt a little crowded, but once people settled into seats, it was perfect. We have quite a few people with food restrictions and they made sure that everyone was well fed by adjusting the food choices as needed. Their staff was so great, friendly, and quick! Everyone is talking in the office today about how amazing the food and drinks were. We've even had employees say this was the best holiday party to date, which is a big deal! Thank you Coohills for the experience! I highly recommend having an event here.

Elieen / November 10th, 2018

Thank you so much for such a perfect evening! Shae was so surprised and everything was lovely and delicious. Everyone remarked on what a great event and venue. Diane introduced herself and I let her know what a pleasure it was working with you – I so appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness to create such a successfully evening for our family and friends!

Thank you!!

Robin F./ September 26th, 2018 / Via Yelp

I booked a party of 15 with Devin Andersen at Coohills. It was an absolute pleasure working with Devin. She was quick to respond and made excellent recommendations. The night of our event I had to push our reservation 1 hour later due to some of our group being delayed at the airport. No one from Coohills told me this, but we found out on our way that we were keeping these people late(from Google). You would have never known. The staff was gracious and efficient. The food was excellent and the ambience was perfect for an enjoyable dinner among friends.

I would definitely recommend :)

Halley E./ September 15th, 2018 / Via We Tie the Knot

Incredible!! We hosted our wedding reception for about 110 guests here. The planning with Coohills was the easiest part of the wedding planning process. They made sure what we envisioned became a reality. We had a fantastic time and got nothing but positive feedback from our guests. The food, drink, and service was exceptional. Our guests said they never had to ask for a second drink, they were never waiting! I would highly recommend Coohills for your Wedding!

Lauri T. / September 12th, 2018

Devin,

Thank you for coordinating such a well run event. We received a lot of great feedback! Room looked great, service was very attentive, food was excellent, and you stuck with the timeline we wanted and had everyone done by 8. We will be in touch for future events for sure.

Thanks again,

Lauri

Laura & Nick D / September 5th, 2018

Shayla:

Words really cannot express how thrilled we were to celebrate at Coohills. You and your team were so fantastic and over the top amazing that I don't know where to begin. Not only were we so pleased with every little detail, especially the staff, service, and food, but all of our guests loved it too. We've received so many compliments on the food and service and the just the overall ambience Coohills creates. I know that for our Denver guests, I'm sure you've won over some new customers! We cannot wait to celebrate all anniversaries with you guys.

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. You really made our day and our year and our wedding.

Love,

Laura + Nick DePetro

Evelyn H. / August 29th, 2018

Hi Shayla,

Our experience at Coohills was nothing short of excellent! All the staff delivered outstanding service. I don’t remember his name, however, our waiter was quick to accommodate us in any way…he saw a few people standing and offered to bring chairs, and was very attentive making sure our drinks were filled. The bartender was also very friendly and knew his stuff.

Devin, who helped organize the event from beginning to finish was amazing. She was one of the reasons why I decided on Coohills – I called around and spoke w/ several people, but she gave me a welcoming vibe. She was genuinely positive, open to suggestions, and delivered as promised. I’ll definitely keep you guys on the list for future events.

Kristina M. / August 28th, 2018

Shayla -- I just wanted to circle up and thank you again for all of your help with our event earlier this week. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we loved the space.

I also just want to extend an extra thanks to your team! We had so much feedback, both from my colleagues and our guests, about how great they were. Truly an awesome group that you have and we'd love to work with you again.

Kindell W. / August 27th, 2018

A special thank you to Shayla and her team. The event was fantastic, well-coordinated by Shayla, and the service was impeccable. Everyone was well taken care of. The food was of course delicious. We appreciate you working with us to find something within our budget and to have a proper farewell party for Larry. Thanks again.

Cynthia P/August 13th, 2018

Hi Devin,

We are so very pleased with the baby shower. The service provided by the Coohill's staff was outstanding and the food was absolutely delicious (the sliders and blue crabcake were a huge hit). Our guests were highly complimentary of the staff, service and food. I travel and eat out often and Coohills provided superior service that I would place at the top of my list. Also, please pass on our thanks to the pastry chef. The cake was perfection and received many compliments.

Again thank you and I look forward to booking future events with Coohills.

Mary C. / August 8th, 2018

Travelling to Denver for a conference I was told that I absolutely had to check out Coohills; so glad I did. Great ambiance and menu. Husband had steak and I enjoyed the crab cake and cheese plate. We also shared the duck confit - some of the best we have ever had! Husband was impressed and he is a food/service snob (having managed high end restaurants in his former work life). Bartender Skylar and server Mary were fabulous - anticipating our every need and bridging the gap that not all servers can do well - professional yet as friendly as someone who had known you forever. The only down side is that I don't live in Denver, so don't know when I will make it back. If given the opportunity, you MUST visit this restaurant. Fantastic!!!!

Sandy S. / July 21st, 2018

Hi Devin,
Coohills was a perfect venue for their wedding. Everything was perfect!

Again, thank you for everything that you did to make this a perfect evening for Sarah and Zach.

Sarah S. / July 21st, 2018

Devin,

Thank you so much for all your help for our big day! We really appreciate all your hard work and your incredible organization. You were so prompt answering all our requests or questions. We can't tell you how much easier you made planning everything!

Kristin A/ July 20th, 2018

Hi Devin!

It was such an amazing night. I think your servers ended up earning you 65 new loyal customers out of the event. Nobody needed anything because drinks were always flowing and the food was amazing!

Thank you for being part of our day!

Bejan | July 9th 2018

Shayla,

Thanks for a wonderful evening. I really appreciate your help in planning this event and producing a top notch event for us! Trish was amazing and should be recognized for going above & beyond in hosting us tonight. She truly did a remarkable job and made the event run seamlessly. Thanks again and I will certainly be back the next time I'm in Denver and will reccomend Coohills without reservation.

Bill | June 25th 2018

Fantastic experience for all of us. I can't tell you how many of our guests were simply overwhelmed with how great everything was from the bridge, to the gorgeous Coohills interior, fantastic food and veverage offers. Perfect event!

Rico | June 12th 2018

Oh my gosh, we couldnt have asked for a better day and literally EVERYONE at Coohills was outstanding! First class all the way. We will definitely be back after our honeymoon because we want to thank everyone in person. It really did blow us away how amazing you guys were. Thank you!

"We had dinner twice in the last month. Once for a friend's 50th birthday party for 26 people and once for our anniversary dinner for 2. For The birthday party, we were in the Wine Room which was very private and our guests were able to walk around and mingle without disturbing other guests in the restaurant. The owner, Diane made menu recommendations and helped with all with arrangements ahead of time. Dinner and the service was as promised. All our guests were served quickly and on time. Both visits, dinner was incredible! You have to try their salmon and their signature Baumaniere Potatoes. The birthday cake was out of this world. The staff was very accommodating and they gave us VIP treatment. Ryan, our waiter for both visits goes over and beyond. I highly recommend Coohills. They truly make sure your special occasion feel special."

The Food was also superb... again, many compliments on the hors doeuvres and all the plated meals. The salad, the bread, and all the entries looked and tasted delicious.

The wait staff was awesome! Everyone was so accommodating, friendly, and attentive.

The cake was perfect.. again exactly how I pictured in my head.

Hina | November 6 2017

I must give this restaurant the highest of marks. Came in with my friend and we both had strict dietary needs. The wait staff and chef were brilliant at obliging our needs. Our waitress check on every detail of our meal. The food was amazing. Mussels melted in my mouth. The chef even sent us complimentary desserts with our diets in mind. Beautiful atmosphere.

Shantel | November 15 2017

Love the location. The set up is so pretty. I can't wait to go back and hopefully take advantage of their outside seating. I missed the bartenders name from last night, but he was a huge help with picking drinks and recommendations on dishes. The steak was incredibly tender almost melt in your mouth. Delicious! I had the fish which was also delicious. Can't wait to go back for more!

Anonymous | November 23 2017

As usual, it was a great experience to dine at Coohills. We brought a young couple with us. Impeccable service, pretty view of the river, elegant decor. We enjoyed the steak, fish, and a scrumptious vegan dish. They Kindly let us stay and chat for hours without making us feel pushed. Excellent night out. We will be back.

Konstantina | November 27 2017

I just wanted to let you know that I dined at Coohills this evening with a friend, and it was one of the best meals and experiences I have ever had, and probably the best in Denver. Thank you again so much for being so lovely to work with. I hope to see you next time!

Mandy | November 1 2017

Good Morning Diane,

I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for ensuring our successful reception last night. Great reviews on the food, the restaurant and the staff. Julie was terrific and Hank finished of the evening perfectly. Your truffle and cake maker-extraordinaire (Sydney?) was a delight as well. Such talent! I'm so glad we booked Coohills. I told Julie we might stop by if time permits as I wanted to thank you personally, but I'll have to see if the schedule allows for a quick diversion. Again, thank you so much for taking care of my guests.

If you are a 'foodie' then this is your place. I am not a foodie but I still love it. Quietly tucked away, marvelous bar and very Parisian ambiance. Makes me think I am in a quiet side street in Paris. Service is first rate and the food is fantastic.

Had a bridal shower here. They took great care of us. Friendly staff, delicious food and nice atmosphere!
