PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Larry HerzOne of the best things I put in my mouth this year is this @tenderbelly pork belly sandwich on homemade focaccia bread @estersdenver 🥓. They were on my show Restaurant Tours. Link in bio. If you haven't been to one of the two Esters you are missing out. Bold unique combinations, friendly service, great beer selection. 🍺

4. Esters Neighborhood Pub
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Larry HerzHappy Father's Day! Very rarely do I post twice for the same restaurant in a week but @estersdenver deserves it. They have two locations that have reopened for dine-in Daily including today for Father's Day brunch. They were on my show #whatsforlunch this week.
.
Also, I almost never post desserts as I'm usually too full for dessert but these Smores were freaking amazing. I also had the @fattire nachos, Berry salad and to die for blueberry habernero chicken wings

9. The Watering Bowl
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Larry Herz🐕I recently interviewed @cooper_the_therapy_dog (golden retriever) @watering_bowl on Leetsdale for an upcoming episode of Restaurants Near Me. It was a ruff interview 🤣

This is the only restaurant in Denver where your dog can play with his friends while you eat tasty bar food and drink craft beers. The buffalo chicken pizza and the Western burger were both delish.😋
10. Breakfast Inn

11. The Rotary - Denver
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Larry Herz@therotaryeats had just opened its second location in Louisville on 12/15 and was destroyed by the #marshallfire. If you want to support them go to their Hilltop location.
They are a fine casual restaurant serving elevated rotisserie meats.
I worked with the talented Chef Don Gragg at Sacre Bleu about 20 years ago.
