Silla

Located in an Aurora strip mall, Silla is the state’s oldest Korean restaurant. The place typically fills up with large families, but the service is fast and friendly. The main draw is the Korean barbecue, which sizzles on the cooktops that sit in the middle of each large booth, but there are many other items […]

Silver Creek Diner

Not all diners were manufactured in the ancient diner forges of New Jersey, feature a faux-’50s muscle car theme, or are draped in neon and polished chrome. Those are just decorating details and, as often as not, serve only to distract attention from the terrible things being done to the food in the back. Silver […]

Silvi’s Kitchen

The bakers at Izzio Artisan Bakery (formerly Udi’s) sell loaves of bread all over the Front Range, providing the staple for restaurants and filling home bread boxes via farmers’ markets and Whole Foods. And in Arvada, the bread’s available at Silvi’s Kitchen, a restaurant that occupies a vast corner spot on a narrow Olde Town […]

Silvi’s Kitchen

The bakers at Izzio Artisan Bakery (formerly Udi’s) sell loaves of bread all over the Front Range, providing the staple for restaurants and filling home bread boxes via farmers’ markets and Whole Foods. And in Glendale, the bread’s available at Silvi’s Kitchen, a restaurant that occupies a vast corner spot in the CitySet development. Those […]

Simms Steakhouse

Perched high on a hill overlooking downtown Denver, Simms Steak House — which occupies the former home of Simms Landing — wows diners with a stunning silhouette of the skyline. As a result, it’s a perfect destination for date night, Sunday brunch or dinner with out-of-towners. But the big, classic menu — highlighting Colorado-caught fish […]

The Sink

After 100 years and multiple changes, the Sink remains one of Boulder’s most quirky and popular taverns, as much for the good deals on booze as for the famous Sink Burger (which first appeared on the menu in the 1950s) and “ugly crust” pizza. History is scrawled across the ceiling and walls in the form […]

SK Provisions

The “SK” in Denver Central Market’s SK Provisions stands for longtime Denver restaurateur Sean Kelly, and even though he’s operating out of a simple market stall these days, Kelly’s fine-dining experience at Barolo Grill, Aubergine Cafe and Desmond shines through. There’s a deli counter of tasty prepared salads and sides, but the real draw of […]

Sketch Food & Wine

Sketch is an exercise in simplicity. There is no kitchen here, no real menu. But there is a sleek, comfortable dining room; a nice wine, liquor and beer selection (with bartenders who actually know a little something about the booze they’re pushing); a good downtown vibe; and a short, tight menu of cured meats, cheese […]

Slattery’s Irish Pub

After opening the Irish Snug on East Colfax and McLoughlin’s near LoDo, the McLoughlin brothers opened Slattery’s in the Landmark development in Greenwood Village. The guys clearly know a thing or two about running an Irish pub, and Slattery’s was designed as a public house that one might find on the streets of Dublin’s City […]

Sliceworks

After overcoming some zoning challenges, Sliceworks – the pizza joint that occupies a two-story structure built on the former Argonaut parking lot – joined the lineup of Colfax eateries in January 2012. The emphasis is on unusual pies, including a Buffalo chicken version, as well as other Italian dishes that you can take out or […]

Sloan’s Bar & Grille

One of Edgewater’s great neighborhood bars, Sloan’s Bar & Grill has attracted a steady stream of friendly locals since it opened in 2004. But with its reclaimed furniture, historic photos of Edgewater and warm, sepia-toned decor, the newish Sloan’s feels like a modern take on an old-time saloon. The grill’s offerings are a step above […]

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger, which opened in the West Colfax neighborhood in summer 2016, is the sister restaurant to the ridiculously popular Highland version. This Tap is bigger in almost every respect. Higher ceilings, an enormous bar, more TVs, massive windows – even the menu has been beefed up with the addition of barbecue. […]

Slotted Spoon Meatball Eatery

Slotted Spoon Meatball Eatery, which opened in early 2013 in the University of Denver neighborhood, is a meatball-slinging version of Chipotle, the fast-casual chain that got its start just a few blocks away. And co-owners Alex Comisar, Johnny Coast and Jensen Cummings have come up with what looks like a winning concept with their colorful […]
