Solitaire - Denver

Fabulous patio with fun cocktails, friendly staff and gorgeous seasonal diverse menu!

Truly an exceptional experience. This renovated house use to be The Highlands before a married couple bought it and renovated it to become Solitaire. Mark the owner chef use to work with Wolfgang Puck til he moved to Denver. The location is Highland Gardens on 32nd and Perry. Great bar, outdoor seating with some garden landscaping and divided rooms for restaurant service. Our waiter Tom was terrific. This is a small plate restaurant with five pages of wine and interesting cocktails. Three of us ordered 5 courses which were all shared. Two cocktails each with a bill of $182 $40 tip. Not bad at all. It was a deliciously delightful experience.

Went there with my wife last night. We did 6 courses of the small plates and decided to let the chef choose something we always do with a multi course meal, because really, who's the one that knows what will be best? This is also a great way to go because it tells the chef we're ready for anything he might be dying to try. The first course was an amazing quail egg and oyster combo. It was one of the best oysters I've ever had, and the quail egg part of it was probably one of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth. Every dish that came out was inventive and absolutely delectable. I can't remember our server's name but it started with a Z (Zane? and he was very friendly, informative about each dish, a great people person and definitely earned the full 20% tip. Yes it was pricey but you get what you pay for. The building itself was very cool. You don't have to take my word for it, just look at the photos. If I had any gripe at all it would be that at some multi course meals we've had at other restaurants we were able to each get different things. For example I could choose vegetarian and my wife could choose non veg. Or I'll choose beef and she chooses seafood, and our plates come out based on those choices, which is great because then we both get to try 2 things. But there are upsides to each of us having the same experience as well. Other than that 5 stars. Fantastic.

Solitaire is a must see everything was great! We had awesome hospitality, the drink menu was unique, the dinner and dessert was trendy and so good. The chef personally modified a dish to accommodate the food allergy. We loved the spot and we will be back for sure.

We heart this place. Such unique, creative, taste-blowing plates. Dishes are seasonal and never disappoint. The portion sizes are perfect. Love the handcrafted drinks, and the innovative ways they chef up their raw oysters on the half shell. The staff always fully explains all the dishes and the fabulous ingredients.
