Top Best American Restaurants in Parker

"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."

"There is something about this long-time mainstay on S Broadway that just feels dreamy and magical. The name itself speaks to the story of two young lovers: a lumberjack and a winemaker’s daughter who settled in a cabin in the Colorado mountains and lived happily ever after. Carefully and lovingly crafted, the unique decor transports you to this woodland fairytale nestled in a grove of Aspen trees, lanterns, and diaphanous curtains."

"To share some of the best food in the country with a beloved, book a table at Beatrice and Woodsley. This restaurant focuses on seasonal and local ingredients, so the menu is alway..."

"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."

"Outstanding wine list and hospitality from servers and sommelier. Tasteful interior design and decor made for a nice atmosphere, but the awful pop music ..."

"There’s nothing unique about cheap pizza—except when it’s brought to you by the team behind Frasca Food and Wine, consistently named one of Colorado’s best restaurants. Pizzeria Locale’s two Denver locations may be fast-casual (order at the counter) joints, but there’s no skimping on quality here. Go-to options include the prosciutto and arugula and the Mais, which is topped with ham, corn, and crème fraiche."

"If you can’t tell from this picture, this is the best darn pizza in the state of Colorado. Fresh, homemade dough and local, organic ingredients baked together in a traditional brick oven makes these pizzas taste like they’re right out of Naples, Italy. Simple ingredients and traditional methods make Pizzeria Locale a must."

"JRS and I headed to this rather obscure place in Louisville, a small town between Boulder and Denver, because someone at nearby bookstore recommended if for lunch. While the lunch was excellent, we also took away three of their five croissants for the next day's breakfast. The next day, we enjoyed our unexpected find."

"Stowed away on the second level of Centennial Airport, The Perfect Landing is the antithesis of a frenetic airport restaurant. There’s no racing through security lines and no heavy bags to wheel through tight spaces, and the only chance of a missed connection is if your jet-setting date stands you up in favor of a flying lesson. The softly illuminated restaurant, with its large windows that peer over multi-million-dollar planes on the runway, is prime real estate for romantic date nights, especially against the backdrop of a terrific pianist whose song repertoire is seemingly endless."

"The Hornet provides some of the best cheap eats Denver has to offer, especially if you’re in the mood for Southwestern food. The nachos with fresh guacamole are a big hit, but you can also try Asian-inspired dishes like lettuce wraps with carrots and cucumbers or a sandwich or wrap like the buffalo chicken wrap or Broadway dip sandwich with au jus. The Hornet is a great place for happy hour in Denver and you can enjoy creative cocktails like the kombucha mimosa."

"The Hornet, one of South Broadway’s favorite eateries, serves a plethora of delicious appetizers during happy hour, including Artichoke Heart Fritters!. These yummy, fried vegetables come with lemon cayenne aioli and are only $7, 4-7 p.m., Monday-Saturday."

"1.7 miles and over 3,400 steps per lap This park is for those of you in the South Denver area. Enjoy lots of grass and a play structure along with an almost 2 mile path."

"Come to this Golden park at 6030 feet elevation and have it all, including some of the tallest slides in town!. You get great views of the foothills and the plains, and a modern playground with a tall tower (5 flights of stairs) and several spinners (including a flywheel that’s fun for adults, too). Plenty of grassy open space surrounds the play area, ideal for playing frisbee golf or running around."

"Any park with a lake has built-in appeal in our relatively dry city, but Garfield Lake ups the ante with a forest grove in the center that takes on spectacular hues in the fall. Picnic tables, a pool, bike/pedestrian paths, sports fields and a playground offer a little something for everyone in this tidy park, which has often been called one of Denver’s most pleasant strolls."
