Can’t speak about the service enough! Amazing place with amazing staff and atmosphere! Everything was cooked perfectly and service was top notch! Quick tip! If you ask the waitress to hold the Super Bowl trophy, they will let you!!!

Food was okay, I feel like it could be better. We got calamri for appetizer our favorite at any restaurant and we got steaks and it was served in a piping hot plate so it was still cooking while you're eating to keep it warm too. The drinks was good and the service was excellent. Very loud though so it's a little bit hard to hear, wish I could post a video. We spent about $300 for the two of us and on our way out we got to see the trophies. Overall we still had a nice experience.

My husband brought me here for our one year wedding anniversary. We were delivered to our table that had been decorated with red rose pedals for our special day. It was quite lovely. And for the Broncos fan that he is, he particularly enjoyed all the Bromcos Championship hardware. Service was impeccable as we were beautifully served by Jaisel and the rest of Shannon's team. We started off with a half dozen oysters that were prepared to perfection. Then, for the second course, we enjoyed a medium rare New Your Strip with truffle butter and Grilled Sea Scallops paired with a loaded baked potatoe. And to round out our experience, Jaisel presented us with a lovely chocolate mouse with a raspberry drizzle in an edible chocolate cup. We enjoyed every minute of our time there. Thank you for making our celebration so wonderful!

This was an incredible dining experience. The reservation process was super easy and convenient. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The staff were very attentive and very professional. Everything was clean. The steak was grilled to perfection. The lobster bisque might be the best in the country outside of Boston. The sides were really, really good, and the Keylime pie was great. Super expensive, but worth it.

We were in town and able to hit up a couple steakhouses. Shanahan’s is captivating when you walk in the door. It’s very elegant. The service was great and our waiter was amazing. The best part was me taking photos of the Lombardi Trophies and a hostess asking if I wanted to hold one in a photo…. YES PLEASE! Great time. We cannot wait to travel back to the Denver area.

Service was great, dinner was even better! Lavender lemon drop and sparkling grapefruit martini to start. Very good! Carpaccio and calamari were decent shareables, the steaks we ordered were all cooked to the temperatures as asked. S’mores brownie and salted Carmel creme brûlée were perfect desserts. We had a 7- person party and they did a wonderful job keeping up with the table. A perfect birthday celebration! Thank you!

The food was cooked to perfection and the service was great! The 16 oz ribeye was sooo good and the lemon shortcake dessert was delicious. My husband and I will be back very soon.

My fiancee and I dined here last evening for a special occasion and we were floored by how amazing everything was! Our waiter Ernesto was wonderful, patient and so kind and assertive, and all staff who delivered food and helped us out with drinks were amazing. We had the NY sirloin and petit filet, sides were done to perfection as well. Food was perfect, and we complimented the meal with nice red wine (try the pinot noir from Oregon) and the cheesecake and espresso desserts topped off the evening as if we weren't full enough! It's a standout establishment in DTC and we will be back! We had a mindful experience without photos of the food but I did capture the ambiance, so perfect for the holidays and end of the year to go out and be taken care of in this way. Thank you to everyone who made our night last night! Cheers and happy new year's we will be back with more people next time ;) Thanks again to Ernesto <3
