Montecito

One of the most under rated restaurants in Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This place is very under rated. We are foodies, we frequent Mizuna, Fruition, Frasca, etc, and I will confidently say that if you order the right selections at Montecito this restaurant is as good, if not better than the aforementioned. The decor is kitschy, but inviting and comfortable. The service is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The italian sausage stuffed grilled calamari, tuna tartare, duck crepes, and tuna with truffled mashed potatoes are must haves. I would not waste my time with the salads or pastas as they are below average. This is one of Denver's best!…

Love it!. I've been to Montecito in th Tech Center (Holly & Orchard) twice now with business and LOVE it! The staff is very friendly. Service was a little bit slow, but we have always been somewhat large parties. They have a grilled cheese and peach sandwich that I just can't get enough of! Extensive wine list, great appetizers and desserts. The tech center location has plenty of parking and is easy to get to. We even held a group dinner and reserved their back room which was lovely. Great for groups - private and even an appearance by Mel himself! Would defintely go back! :-)…

Great atmosphere. I came here on a Tuesday evening with a group of six people. We made reservations, but the restaurant was pretty empty on a Tuesday so reservations wouldn't be necessary. Service was good. The wine selection looked good. I ordered the spicy spaghetti with grilled shrimp, which was absolutely fantastic. I would definitely come here again.…

Ecelectic and Yummy. Saw it in 5280 and decided to try it with a couple of friends. We started with the item that this place is most known for! The macintosh grilled cheese! It was very tasty appetizer!! I chose the lamb ? very tastey and lots and lots of food!

Hubby went for the shrimp pasta dish ? said it had a nice kick.

Our friends went with the fish special.

We also saw another fish special that was the entire fish ? so take care when you order the special!

Service was wonderful, food full of flavor, and parking not that bad!

We?ll definitely be checking out the other branch closer to HR soon!…
