Acova is writing the next chapter of one of Denver’s great neighborhoods. An iconic locale in a historic district, Acova builds on the rich story of “The Northside” (now known as LoHi) by breathing new life into an address with soul. Even its name pays homage to its South Broadway sibling restaurant The Hornet, while tipping a cap to its storied Italian predecessor Patsy’s. The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

    The ambience was good. The food was salty and over seasoned. Got the beet salad with salmon- salmon was salty, thin and overcooked. Wanted to like the place but sorry we did not.

    Hello Erin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the ambience at Acova, but we're sorry to hear that the food and service did not meet your expectations. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we're disappointed to hear that we fell so short this time. Your comments regarding the salmon have been noted and we are disappointed that it was not remade for you or at very least taken off of your check. Best regards, Acova Management Team

    We've been coming here for years and we love Acova, especially their attention to gluten free and vegetarian diets. Their prices are just so steep nowadays so we don't visit as often as we used to do. The service is excellent.

    The whole experience was wonderful. As a first time guest along with my friend, we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was great. I had the steak wrap and it was delicious. I recommend Acova for lunch especially. I'm sure that dinner is just as good if not better.

    A cute enough place in a cute neighborhood. The cocktails were interesting. The food was meh. The menu looks like the food and ingredients will be good, but everyone in our party felt the the quality was not there.Except the dessert was good. Someone in the kitchen that night just did not have the palate. It’s a fine place for drinks and bar food but probably won’t be going back for a meal. Sorry, I know the restaurant industry is tough, but it’s tough on customers as well.
