    This was the first time we had eaten at Fontana Sushi, and it was also the last time. Although the food was very good we were very disappointed that in our party of four only three of us received our sushi roll choices while our fourth waited a good half an hour for his sushi roll platter, and it required several reminders by us to the staff. When food finally arrived for our fourth member, it was the incorrect order, a sashimi platter. However, at that point, he was so hungry he said, "I'll eat it anyway," and he did. His original order of the sushi platter came with a spicy tuna roll. The sashimi platter that he received was missing the spicy tuna roll, and we had to ask for it, then wait another 10 minutes for it to be delivered, even though by this time, the restaurant was far less busy than when we arrived. When we received our check, there were no comps to make up for the error, and we were charged extra for the spicy tuna roll that was part of the sushi platter dinner originally ordered. They did remove the extra $7 when we explained that it was supposed to be included, but that was the only compensation. The three servers who waited on our table seemed very confused and were reluctant to come by the table, not that I could blame them because we were getting very annoyed. We waited about 20 minutes for a server to take our credit card and ring up the check, despite having just delivered go boxes to the table right next to us. At this point, there were only two other tables occupied in the dining room, so there was no excuse for a long wait. Having owned and run a restaurant, my husband and I were incredibly disappointed in the level of incompetency of the wait staff and highly suggest some retraining is in order.

    Fontana consistently has the highest quality fish of any sushi place we’ve been in Denver and the prices are much more reasonable than places like Sushi Den. We come here as often as possible!

    Everything was good and our server was great. My one and only HUGE complaint is that I specifically requested the additional food I ordered to take home to be made WITHOUT any raw fish or masago. It was super important because my sister cannot eat raw seafood due to her illness and when I got home, one of her rolls had raw tuna on it! The frustrating part was that on the menu, raw fish was NOT listed on the two rolls I ordered. She ended up not being able to eat half her food.

    Had a reservation for a table for 2. Got there and got sat at a big table that sat 6. We were the first ones there and then 2 other couples were sat next to us at the same table. Went out on a date to spend some time with the so on Valentine’s Day, but we’re not told it would be a group date. Good food good price good service but I feel like we got funneled into a group Valentine’s Day so

    My girls and I decided to start a new tradition of doing sushi on Christmas Eve & I chose Fontana. The idea was to mix it up year after year but I truly think we will just continue to come here! The food was exceptional, the service & attentiveness - out of this world. I’d never been and was just blown away. Can not recommend enough!

    We had horrible service. Waited over 40 min. to get a drink. Had a 7:00 resie and didn't even get one of our appetizers until 8:00! And they forgot all about bringing us our edamame, and then we finally said we didn't want it and our waiter never said sorry, or anything...just walked away. Food was fine, but nothing a real sushi lover would think is outstanding. A lot of the rolls are all either made with the pre made crab/mayo stuff or cream cheese based. Lots of shrimp sushi, and nothing too creative. Our waiter was horrible. He was not friendly, and he knew we were sitting there forever waiting. 2 other tables seated after us were served before us. Never came back and asked if we needed anything else. So not a great experience for sure.

    As others have previously posted, this is every bit as good as those other schmaltzy sushi restaurants in Denver. But, and…..didn’t have to deal with all the bougie-ness. The sashimi was killer-fresh and the flavor profiles of the specials per fantastic. Fresh wasabi tdf. Gave it average stars for ambience cuz it is super unpretentious. Good value for both food and drink. Staff was awesome.

    Of all the sushi places in Denver - this is my absolute favorite! I tell my friend’s I think it’s even better (and way less expensive) than Sushi Den and at first I think they are skeptical — and after they eat here, they always agree :)

    Fontana’s sushi in Wash Park on Alameda is a 5 star plus for service, atmosphere and the best sushi you’ll find in Denver. Let Chef Chin go freestyle with your favorite fish and you’ll have the best experience you’ve ever had for sushi. Always fresh.
