The Gem of the Highlands

by getsomemore

Coral Room is a great place to go for happy hour, drinks or just a nice night out. I have been here at least a dozen times, and it has always been delicious and fun. The service is attentive and low key. No pressure, no hassles. The food is creative and tastey. I always have a great time here.

• Pros: food, service, fun
• Cons: parking

Don't go!

by Hannah57

Made the mistake of ordering a "smll plate". It was indeed small, but it mattered not. The parmesan tofu was ok, just ok. But the accompanying polenta was so oversalted it was inebible. Would've complained to the waiter but didn't see him again until it was time for the bill. He just shrugged and walked away when I mentioned the problem. He thinks he's at the Four Seasons instead of a run-down strip mall in Denver.

• Cons: Snooty waiter

Worst girl's night out dinner ever!

by justcody

The worst "girls night out birthday celebration ever"! Your not going to believe this experience!

Our dinner immediately went from bad to the worst dining experience we had encountered. Here is our list of how it went wrong.

~Mojito removed before finished, and reluctantly replaced with a dishwater like substitute

~Cheese tray was the delicious highlight of our meal!

~Harticot verte salads missing the main ingredient(green beans), but the wait staff rudely told us we must have eaten them.

~Filet was inedibly over salted.

~Scallops were undercooked

We were completely disgusted and in shock by the food and the service we received at the popular spot. The manager had complete disregard for our disaster of an evening and dismissed our every complaint! I would not waste my money on the bad food served at this restaurant.

• Pros: Located in the Highlands
• Cons: Disgusting food and service

by kezdenver

I love this place. Everyone is friendly, the food is always excellent, and what a generous pour on the wine! Happy hour is a steal with 5 dollar wines that are good quality selections. The bartender is quick and always friendly. Love Love Love it!!!

Neighborhood fun, delicious eats

by skichick80

The Coral Room has been a longtime favorite of mine. I have had many fabulous experiences there and will continue to return over and over again.

The innovative and scrumptious menu always seems to satisfy whatever I may be in the mood for, and the bartenders and servers are attentive and friendly. The Coral Room is the kind of place where you can feel at home and welcome whether you are a regular customer or a first timer. I have recently participated in some of their new happy hour specials which top the neighborhood for sure.

Keep it up Coral! I will see you soon!

Very disappointing - Stapleton location was much better

by greygoose7

Coral Room (in Stapleton) was one of my favorite restaurants. The food was always perfect and the service was prompt, professional, and very friendly. I was extremely disappointed when the Stapleton location closed so I decided to give the HIghlands location a try.

It was very disappointing. The bar was packed with loud, drunk people which made the ambiance very trashy. Slimy lettuce was used on my salad and my steak came out well done when I ordered it medium. The service wasn't any better - our server neglected us. She didn't even ask how everything was. We had to ask the hostess for water as well as we had to ask for our check twice! Overall, it was a horrible dining experience. The owners should have closed this location and not the Stapleton one.

Needs a little tweaking

by chefnamaste

We were greeted promptly by a gentleman who took my coat. The decor was very modern and warm but the table needed a bit more room. We opted for the "house dressing" which had no flavor and very few toppings. I specifically asked my server for medium cooked salmon opaque in the center. The server brought me another plate with salmon cooked perfectly after the first "very dry" portion arrived with a different vegetable than stated on the menu. My date had a very nice lamb dish which we would recommend. We would also recommend the messy but yummy chocolate layer cake:) Our water glasses were neglected and instead our sodas were topped off twice with water. It took a long time to get our check and even longer to retrieve my coat (a good ten minutes). For the price point I expect better service, communication amongst the staff, and more generous portion sizes.

Highlands Gem

by colojess

The Coral Room is snuggled into a strip mall in the Highlands, but don't let that fact stop you from experiencing this little gem. The food is terrific. I had the flank steak with a spicy little sauce and a chocolate cake to die for for dessert. The place was packed on a Friday night and the tiny bar was overflowing with people. The one drawback is the Coral Room's size - small, very small and thus it is very loud. So, if you want a nice place to go to chat with a first date - skip it - otherwise give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

nice atmosphere

by pokerplayer1234

This is a casual yet chic-looking place. Menu has a good selection. I came here on a Friday night. We had reservations. If you come later in the evening, like after 8pm, you probably don't need reservations. The bar area, however, was full the entire night. I tried the spring roll appetizers, which were okay but a little on the bland side. However, the tuna appetizer was DELICIOUS; it was actually raw tuna like sushi, combined with avocado and mango and other good stuff, piled up on a plate like a layered cake. For my entree, I tried the duck, which was delicious but nothing extraordinary. For dessert, we tried the truffle candies which were delicious. For beverage, I had a couple of their mojitos, which were good. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us good service. Prices were about average.

• Pros: good service
• Cons: parking is always horrendous in this area
