Janna DaileyMay 27, 2016We shared a bunch of appetizers (vesta roll &red beet agnolotti were amazing) as our dinner, then tried 3 desserts (pb cup, toffee pudding, and caramelized pineapple - all good, but loved pineapple).
BethAugust 3, 2014Salmon with peanut sauce and tenderloin with black pepper aioli...you will NOT be sorry. No room for dessert, but they brought it anyway! Definitely a unique and fun experience for foodies!!
Scott M.October 6, 2017Incredibly delicious food. Awesome ambiance and very friendly service. Must try the bone marrow short rib and spicy shrimp tempura appetizers. When in Denver this is a can't kiss restaurant.
Angel LeonDecember 8, 2017We tasted the entire appetizer menu and the dessert tasting, everything was excellent, service was very professional, smart and at times funny. Great place for a date or business meetings.
Susan J CampbellMarch 24, 2019Tuna tartar and venison both delicious! Dipping sauces with pita bread a unique experience. Our server was great. Even had vegetarian and vegan menus! An experience worth repeating!
Gina EstradaNovember 20, 2015I love this place! I went form my birthday and they brought me these creme brulee pops. My group never mentioned my birthday. The server noticed my I.D. Great service,wine, food & great vibe.
Mike TrewarthaFebruary 19, 2017The Colorado Rack of Lamb was to die for. Hands down the best meal I've had in a very long time. Try the ghost chile and roasted corn sauces.
Ary PrescoSeptember 16, 2019Great for groups with their circular (partially enclosed) tables. Menu is ambitious and delicious with dipping being the theme. Overall a restaurant that really gives you an "experience"
Jennifer KaufmanMay 10, 2013Brandon Foster has an inventive menu...the Colorado striped bass w/ koehler-ruprecht pinot blanc kabinett trocken 09 & lamb shank w/ domaine de la petite cassagne rose' 2012 were delicious...
ElizabethMarch 31, 2013Ghost chili dipping sauce is awesome. Ghost chilies are the hottest pepper in the world, but the sauce only has a small amount so it's the perfect balance of flavor and heat i.e. it won't hurt you.
Andrea LJanuary 18, 2015Always yummy and great service. Pork belly is joyful. Grilled prawns were tasty too. Chocolate and peanut butter truffle to finish was just right...
Christian EspanaSeptember 6, 2013As a business person you appreciate places where you can have a great meal at the bar. The Staff is excellent and made good drink/food suggestions.
HolidayNovember 4, 2017Have an aged rye cocktail with dinner. Chicken tikka was amazing. Servers pair enters with side dipping sauces. Great experience.
Deb GeeNovember 14, 2012Sit at the bar and order lots of dishes and share them. Cheese and charcuterie a must do!! Pecan pie salad also excellent. Great wine list too.
KristenDecember 3, 2012Worth every penny! The service was excellent and the food completely surpassed my expectations! I will definitely have to go back on my next trip to Denver.
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014Since it opened more than a decade ago, Vesta's concept has been simple: Take something and dip it in something else. Read more
Kacie ArmbrustJune 11, 2018I love this place for dates, you can try a lot but not be overly full. Plus the ambiance is great!
Mark TurnerFebruary 5, 2014The duck breast and the dipping sauce pairing is perfect. The pork belly appetizer is excellent as well.
Trent GillaspieMay 2, 2010One of the classiest and tastiest boutique restaurants in Denver. Tons of sauces to dip delicious entrees in. B2 Steak Sauce, Black Pepper Aioli, Spicy Watermelon, just to name a few of the best.
Andrew LitvakMarch 3, 2015Pork belly is a great mini-app, the venison is a stand-out main. Great service, too!
Anup TapaseJanuary 20, 2013Just have five each of the first two appetizers (2 and 3 dollars each). They were the best dishes among the 12 different dishes I tried.
Stella ChayJanuary 27, 2018If you’d like to try the food without going broke try the Happy Hour for fantastic drinks and small plates!
Steven AnthonyNovember 30, 2013Best restaurant in Denver, hands down. Every dish was impeccable. Amazing.
Samantha ChristineDecember 25, 2013It was amazing!!! Food was divine and the drinks were equally as wonderful!
Rachael MoyteJanuary 6, 2012Order the "Where the Buffalo Roam" cocktail... also, the mussels are fabulous. You're not going to get a bad dish here.
Emily PJune 12, 2011Everything here is good. Seriously. The flour-less chocolate cake is to die for, the perfect way to finish a meal!
LindsFebruary 24, 2013Superb restaurant week menu. Buck up and get the wine pairings (3 for $13.20)!
Lyndsie ClarkSeptember 29, 2013Save room for dessert! Order the coconut semifreddo and your day will be complete.
Ashley KingsleyDecember 17, 2009Must have the sesame seed tuna rolls. The best. Sit at the bar for dinner. No need for a table. Make sure to toast with the bartenders. They are always good.

Tammy StuartDecember 11, 2011Try the Chef's Tasting menu. An inexpensive way to sample a variety of high quality food.
Dani GlassettJuly 10, 2010Everything at Vesta is impeccible. I highly reccomend the beef skewers, the lamb, the venison, and the berry caipirinha cocktail
Jennifer ONeilJune 2, 2010One of the best in Denver. If you don't know where to eat tonight go HERE. Call for a reservation. 1822 Blake Street. Denver, CO 80202-1285. (303) 296-1970 Read more
SPIREJuly 18, 2011You have to try the Truffle honey dipping sauce! It really puts your meal over the top!
David EJuly 24, 2012Try several 'smaller' plates, one after another, and you might experience a "foodgasm" like I did!
Matt LafoneOctober 23, 2011I really love this place, great food an excellent wine choice in $40 range.- SPIREAugust 16, 2011Dip the jalapeno grilled tofu in mango sweet and sour sauce! you will not be disappointed!
The ghost chile BBQ is a new addition and a must try to an already impressive sauce list.
Emina D SehovicMay 22, 2011My god the food rocks at this place! I had a grilled tenderloin - just amazing
StephanieElena GAugust 8, 2015Blergh. Don't bother. If you are a foodie the small plates= major disappointment esp the tuna. Even the burrata via cheese plate was brutally bad. If it's any cold comfort-service was impeccable
I love the metal and glass work. Kickass designer. Love this place!!!!
Examiner.comJune 2, 2011Try the new mahi mahi ceviche or pork tacos with a glass of white wine! mmm Read more
