Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Littleton

We had an amazing dining experience at Rioja! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We started with the picnic plate as an appetizer, and everything on it was absolutely delicious. Their house-made bread deserves a special mention—it was so good that I wish they sold it on its own. For the main course, I had the black-and-white pasta with seafood. The seafood was exceptional, especially the mussels, which were the best I’ve ever had—tender, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The pasta was equally impressive, tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My husband ordered the grilled Thai pork chop, which was packed with bold, flavorful seasoning and cooked to perfection. All dishes exceeded our expectations, and we left thoroughly impressed. The service was good overall. Justin’s hospitality truly elevated our evening and left us feeling well taken care of. We definitely would love to come back and try other dishes from their menu.

It was lovely as always. The new cornbread recipe was delicious.

What a fantastic night out in Denver! We tried the Stock Show Menu at STK and it was impeccable! First off- you must order the Marshmallow Old Fashioned with your steak- it was a must have pairing. We always love the pull apart buttery bread served in skillets (the blue cheese butter was insanely good!) We had the stock show menu , featuring a yummy Caesar salad to start (served with the thickest slices of bacon I’ve ever seen- photos to come!), perfectly grilled asparagus, to die for Mac n cheese, delicious steak. Their “Cloud” dessert was a work of art! The Butter Cake Cheesecake was hidden under a cloud of pink cotton candy- which they lit on fire to reveal the cheesecake covered in fresh berries. Seriously stunning presentation and it was incredible! The atmosphere was such a vibe- great music, the service was wonderful! This is a must stop if you’re in town for the Western Stock Show (or anytime for a date night or girls night!)

Amazing dinner evening. The ambiance and decor is perfect. The cocktails were delicious. And the food was soooo good. Tried many small plates as well as the mains and dessert!

The staff went out of their way to make us feel extremely welcome and invited us back to their reopening after remodel. If you have a chance to grab their brunch before they close for remodel, do so! Manny was a tremendous server. Seek him out if you can.
