nice restaurant or buying a used car? 12/18/2008

We dined at Sullivans last weekend for my husband's company dinner. Granted, we were a party of ten, but I still had a certain level of expectations for a restuarant of this caliber. First, we had reservations for 8:30pm but were not sat until after 10pm. Unacceptable. Next, our waitress was worse than a used car salesman. She tried up-selling everything on the menu, absolutely no genuine recommendations. If there was a profit to be made on ice cubes, she would have pushed and sold them by the cube. She pushes the larger bottle of wine (actually a better value), then comes back and tells us she's out of that wine. We end up with twice as many smaller bottles of wine. Then arrive our steaks... mine actually was decent, but half (or five) of us had terrible steaks. Either they were severely undercooked (and no one wanted to send them back because it was now after 11pm and we were all starving), and a few New York Strips looked more like roasts, there was so much fat throughout them. Then there was the fact that there was no one to complain to because our waitress not once asked us how our meal was (we never saw her again once our meals were delivered... until of course she came back to push desserts on us all). Doesn't sound like it can get much worse, right? Icing on the cake... I opened my leftovers box the next day (should have been the other half of my filet and some creamed spinach) but it was someone else's left overs! Unbelievable. Pros: nice bar area to wait in while you wait almost two hours to be seated Cons: abrasive server, out of the wine we ordered, steaks fatty and undercooked more

Absolutely Fantastic! Even if you DON'T eat red meat! 10/6/2008

I had the privilege of visiting Sullivan's for the first time this last Friday night. We started the night at the bar with martinis. Being a fan of fu-fu girly drinks, I had a strawberry pineapple martini that I enjoyed and my boyfriend had a lime drop which was perfect! I think I have a new favorite martini! The bar staff was very friendly and quick to please. As for dinner, the dining room was comfortable and had a relaxing atmosphere. The group I was with are all fans of steaks, so that is what they all ordered. I believe two of them got New York strips and the other, a filet with sauteed mushrooms. All three looked delicious, but since I cannot eat red meat, I just had to take their word for it that the steaks ""melted in their mouths"". I stuck to seafood. I always seem to end up at fine steak houses where I can't eat the most top rated items on the menu. I actually really enjoy judging places like this based on their seafood. Just slapping a slab of beef on a grill does not take as much finesse and care as perfecting a seafood dish. So, I had a lettuce wedge with bleu cheese and the crab stuffed shrimp with gorgonzola butter. I was extremely impressed! The shrimp was not tough or chewy (as it comes out in some places), it was fabulous! My party was all very satisfied with their steaks. I honestly cannot think of a single negative to our experience at Sullivan's. Even our waiter, Scott, was attenteve and quick to please. I also did not hear or see one loud or crying child. It was a room full of adults and it made me extremely happy to not have to put up with an un-behaved child. I would highly recommend Sullivan's to anyone looking for an experience similar to The Chop House, Del Frisco's or Morton's. It is definitely on par with the finest restaurants I have dined at and I have every intention of going back for a return visit. Pros: Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Lime Drop Martini, Lettuce Wedge with Bleu Cheese Cons: Expensive more

Great Steakhouse in a great city 7/16/2008

I was on a short vacation with some buddies from AZ and our hotel recommended Sullivan's for a great evening of steaks and cigars. Service was friendly and attentive by some of the best looking waitstaff I have seen in a long time. The martinis were cold and refreshing and the wine our server chose was perfect. Food was prepared perfectly as ordered and the cigars on the patio after dinner made for a perfect evening. A stunning female manager came by several times, I think her name was Angie, to check up on us and after we left over 3 1/2 hours later, we were completely satisfied. Congrats to the staff and mnagers for ""getting it"". I learned there is one here in AZ in Tucson and I will surely make the drive from Phoenix to visit. Pros: Great Energy! Cons: Not one in Phoenix/Scottsdale more

Best Steakhouse in Denver 4/11/2008

cold atmosphere...food was so so, but the BEST valet in town! 4/9/2008

I came to Sullivans to meet some friends that I had not seen in quite awhile. My first impression of the restaurant was the valet working outside. ( I believe his name was Adam) He explained about the company charge, asked my name, and made gret conversation. He mde me feel like though he was busy, my business mattered to him. I went to the bar for a drink and was helped by a cute red haired girl. She made me the best martini that I have had in a long time. I think it was called the knockout. Later, I was brought into the ining room and our server had the personality of a dish mop. Going to a restaurant like this, I expected great service, but our server was merely an order taker and seemed like she could care less about being there. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. The wine selection was nice. Upon leaving he restaurant nearly three hours later, the valet, Adam remembered my car and name and quickly had my car pulled up, while opening the doors for my passengers. That was such a nice personal touch! If I come back, it will only be because of the great valet and the bartender. Pros: valet and bartender Cons: bathrooms not very clean and server acted like she would rather be elsewhere. more

Great Dining experience!!! 3/4/2008

Had the chance recently to meet some girlfriends in the Mile High city for a weekend of shopping, food and of course, drinks. Sandy, who was the only native, took us to Sullivan's downtown and said that if you want to really see the best of Denver, this is the spot. Pros: Amazing food, great service Cons: Not one in my city! more

Tough Critic 12/27/2007

We had lunch. This Businessman's spot serves the expense accounts well, otherwise it has no redeeming qualities. The food is soaked in butter (or is it grease), and way over salted. The wine list is extensive and every bit as expensive. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Food, expensive more

Bland food, mediocre service, less than impressive atmosphere 12/13/2007

My wife and several business associates recently visited Sullivan's on a Wednesday night. While the decor of the restaurant ""looks"" nice, the quality of food and service is nowhere near as impressive. Pros: Wine selection, Lounge atmosphere Cons: Food, Service more

Definite in LoDo 10/9/2007

On a recent buiness trip to Denver I visited some old college friends from Arizona. With all of the choices for restaruants in Denver I wanted my friends to take me to their favorite dining spot. We drove a short while downtown to an area called LoDo and pulled up to a non-descript corner of 18th and Wazzee. A cool vibe was being pumped from speakers as we entered the restaurant. We were greeted promptly by a well-dressed young lady and after announcing our reservation she said that our table was not quite ready, but we were welcome to enjoy a cocktail in the bar and she would come get us as soon as the table was available. The Martinis were perfectly shaken and tasted great after a long day of seminars. The live music in the bar made the wait seem like minutes until the young lady escorted us to the dining room. The live Maine lobsters were nicely displayed in a tank in the foyer. The feel of the room was busy and exciting without being rushed. The servers were polished and smiling and the fresh flower arrangement in the middle of the room was extravagant. We were promptly greeted by our server and my friend ordered his favorite appetizers for the table. The shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare and crab cake were outstanding. My filet with crab and bernaise topping was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. One of my friends enjoyed the fresh Sea Bass with a Sherry Soy reduction that looked fantastic The side dishes were steaming hot, something you don't get very often, and the crab fried rice and sweet potato casserole were heavenly. It is surely enough food for the hearty and I had plenty to take back to my hotel. A piece of key lime pie and a cup of coffee were it for me. I left my two friends in the bar enjoying cigars and ports, someting I do not see back in Arizona, and retired back to my hotel. If you ever find yourself in LoDo looking for a great dinner, Sullivan's Steakhouse is the place. Pros: Lively atmosphere, great service Cons: Need one in Scottsdale more

Disppointing 15 year Anniversary Dinner - We felt RUSHED! 10/4/2007

My husband and I have been to Sullivans for 3 out of our last 4 anniversaries. This year it was our 15th, and so we thought we'd go back. We made reservations online and notified them that it was our 15th year wedding anniversary. We were seated promptly and the hostess did wish us a happy anniversary, but she was the only one. I would expect that information should be passed along to the waitperson, but it was not. We were rushed all through our dinner. The shrimp appetizer was really good, but it was swooshed away as my husband was barely finshed eating his last bite. We were having to poor our own wine, which isn't a huge deal, but wine service would have been nice. Our meal was very good, as it usually is, but we ordered two sides and only one was brought with our meal. The second one came out half way through our meal. We had several waitstaff asking if we wanted a togo box since we weren't gobbling down our food quickly. It felt like they were just trying to turn the table for other diners. We usually order dessert for our anniversary and have a nightcap, but considering the fact that we felt so rushed and wasn't treated like maybe we thought we would have considering this was the 3rd anniversay we have celebrated there, we opted to go somewhere else for dessert and a night cap. We won't be back, and we won't recommend Sullivans to others. There are too many other steakhouses in Colorado that would appreciate our patronage! more

Great Find!!! 9/29/2007

I travel for a living and eat out 4 to 5 nights a week. My co-workers took me to a restaurant that was new to me and I had such a great exprience I wanted to tell everybody. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, the staff was so attentive and helpful. We went into the lounge to grab a drink and listen to the live music. It was so upbeat and so much energy from the guests to the staff. When we were seated our server was outstanding from the time we sat down to the time we left. The best part about it was they were not hovering around us. We started with the seafood sample that was so fresh. Then I had the 8oz filet and it was the best filet I have ever had. It melted in my mouth. The server suggested a wonderful bottle of wine from amazing wine list. If you ever get to Denver it is must go to!!!! more

A restaurant that needs a kick in the pants! 8/21/2007

In Denver, we have many great choices of Steak Houses. It has been some time since my last visit to this establishment. I usually dine at Brooks, The Capital Grill or Steakhouse 10. In looking for a change of pace, we elected to eat at Sullivan?s. We were seated promptly, but it took some time for our waiter to come to our table. I noticed several patrons where in shorts and t-shirts. I know that Denver is casual, but give me a break! The first two bottles of wine that I ordered were not in stock. Once we found a wine that they actually had, I had to poor the entire bottle myself throughout the meal. I was offered no wine service whatsoever. After our crab appetizer, we had to ask for hot towels to clean our hands. This service is standard at most steak houses, is it not? Once our salads came, I was not offered any fresh ground pepper. To make matters worse, my steak came to the table medium well, when I had ordered medium rare. The steak was also VERY salty, but of good quality. Pros: Wine list diversity in selection and price. Cons: Read the reveiw... more

No longer the great place it used to be 1/14/2007

Until recently, Sullivan's has been one of my favorite places. It has been going slowly downhill and slid to rock bottom during my last visit. Despite reservations, we still waited 20 minutes for a table. Making this worse is the horrendous cigar stench coming from the bar. So it was either wait in the cold or the sickening stench coming from the bar. Pros: Good meat Cons: Crowded, slow service, laxidasical staff more

Choose your steak wisely: the ribeye 10/9/2006

I was intrigued by the Kansas City Strip based on the reviews found here. However, based on the fact that the waitress was unable to describe where the KC strip was cut from, and the fact that a friend who worked at the Sullivan's in Austin recommended the ribeye, I chose to order the ribeye. And I was very, very glad I did. Those who ordered the KC strip at my table were sorely disappointed, and rightfully so; it was a stringy, chewy piece of meat. Not suitable for $10, much less $35. On the other hand, the ribeye was one of the ten best steaks I've ever eaten, and those are big words for me. All at the table who tried it agreed that it was a fantastic piece of meat. Those who ordered tenderloins, which was most of my group, were all happy with their orders, but none got as high of marks as the ribeye. Other things I recommend: the wedge salad with blue cheese and the button mushrooms as sides. (The creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin, and the mac and cheese were good, but nothing special.) Pros: the ribeye, wedge salad, mushroom side Cons: Kansas City Strip more

Good food, slightly more casual 6/17/2005

Excellent cuts of meat cooked slightly different than most other steakhouses. Rather than charring the outside and having it pink on the inside, I noticed a more uniform cooking style at Sullivan's. It's not better or worse, just different. The Kansas City Strip and Filet Mignon were both excellent. Portions are huge, prices are affordable, and the atmosphere is slightly more relaxed than most nicer steakhouses. The house ""knockout"" martini is tasty and potent, and dessert menu is amazing. Sides and appetizers were both top notch as well. Highly recommended. Pros: Relaxed, Terrific sides, Great steaks Cons: a littly noisy more

Best value bar none. 9/30/2004

If you're looking for the best steak with the best all around experience. Sullivan's has it all. You can't beat the location, downtown! You can't beat the pineapple martini, Knockout! For the price, you can't beat the steak. Best appetizer in town, steak tartar, best dessert in town, souffle, and I've already told you about the steak. The ambiance is unmatched. There's no better place for an anniversary, birthday, first-date or just a night to listen to live jazz. If you haven't been to Sullivan's, you haven't been the best all around steak place in Denver (Denver, not the suburbs!). Pros: Downtown Denver, Food, Too much to list more

I love this place 7/7/2004

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant one day while wandering around aimlessly in lodo. We gave them a try and I can say I'll never go to another steakhouse. The service is beyond description. They seem to really care about our experience every time we go. I'm sure they have their off days, but I've yet to see one. We eat here about once a month. They have the most delightful Martini, it's called the Knockout. Unreal. Steaks are tender, juicy and exceptionally flavorful. What made me a true fan? One evening we invited family to dine with us at Sullivan's, my brother was a vegetarian (one that doesn't even eat fish) and the chef offered to make him something special, and the entree that was sent to our table was incredible, 100% vegetarian, and not normally available on the menu. Pros: Accomodating, Friendly, Excellent Food more
