Top Best American Restaurants in Highlands Ranch

"The Lowdown: This may be the ultimate date spot due to its euphoric atmosphere of tables surrounded by tree bark and draped by curtains and lanterns — an ‘urban aspen grove.’ Suitable for a date of two or a double date — due to its amply spaced booths. It feels like an exclusive club and bar but it has award-winning food to match. For starters, the delicacy that is roasted bone marrow ($14) or the grilled squid ($14) with charred broccolini are good choices."

"Beatrice & Woodsley is the most artfully designed dining room in Denver. Chainsaws are buried into the wall to support shelves, there’s an aspen growing through the back of the dining room and the feel is that of..."

"This is the first outpost of the popular New York eatery of the same name, which drew its inspiration from the traditional butcher guilds of Italy that oversaw quality of meats. It fulfills its steakhouse creds with a menu that includes classic filet mignon, New York Strip and bone-in rib steak. There's also fresh pasta with Porterhouse and baked lasagna with filet meatballs."

"The fact that this fast-casual pie parlor was founded by the guys behind Frasca Food & Wine makes its price point all the more surprising: From the famous Mais with ham, corn, and crème fraîche to the Supreme with pepperoni, sausage, onions, and peppers, not one 11-inch option cracks the $10 mark, and on Mondays, Margherita pizzas go for $5. (Three other locations in the Highlands, Central Park, and Hale spread the wealth.)"

"Karen Zeldin, a horticulture worker for the Denver Parks Department., tends to the flower beds in Alamo Placita Park on Aug. 24, 2009. “If you accidentally glance over while you’re driving down Speer (Boulevard) you’ll see one of the most beautiful flower gardens in the city,” said Scott Gilmore, deputy executive director of Denver Parks & Recreation. Indeed, Alamo Placita’s compact but meticulously maintained gardens recall painterly European landscapes with their gently fanned geometric arrangements, which were designed by Saco Resnik DeBoer and opened to the public in 1927."

"Red Rocks Amphitheatre is set between 400ft-high red sandstone rocks 15 miles southwest of Denver. Acoustics are so good many artists record live albums here. The 9000-seat theater offers stunning views and draws big-name bands all summer. To see your favorite singer go to work on the stage is to witness a performance in one of the most exceptional music venues in the world. For many, it’s reason enough for a trip to Colorado."
