Sugarbeat Cafe

UPDATE: I've been back twice since posting this review, the food has been fantastic each time. Had the Chef's Choice last night w/two others and it was an incredible experience. Definitely one of my favorite places in Denver! Great place and a lovely evening! The service was impeccable, the food fantastic. Lots of great flavors, served beautifully. Only "complaint" is that the seating if you are just two is VERY close to the table next you ... we wound up chating w/the folks at the next table because it kind of felt like they were at our table lol. If you are looking for privacy you should probably ask for it when you make your reservation. I will be going back!

I’ve loved Avelina for many years. When I was a lawyer in private practice as a food lawyer in Denver, it was a favorite to take clients for lunch because the food, service, and drinks were always top notch so I could count on a good dining experience to support a great conversation. Trusted it it to take a dear friend to dinner right before her first baby, and tonight I took my husband for the first time for our seventh anniversary. Tonight we did the chef entrust tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Consistently one of my favorite restaurants in Denver, and it just gets better. Thanks Rio, for great service tonight and thank you to the wonderful chefs!

Really enjoyed ourselves. Mo, our waitress was friendly and Mike the GM was super inviting and kept checking in with us. Duck puree is amazing! The portion is large but you will need to ask for more bread, they only give 3 peices. Braised bison was nice but not seasoned enough and not enough puree. Pork tenderloin was wonderful! Tender and flavorful, again wish they gave more puree. Atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing yet elegant.

Wow. My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate and what a wonderful, wonderful dinner we had. We got a chance to meet the GM, Mike who was friendly and easy to talk to and were served very quickly before our reservation. My boyfriend and I did the Chef's Entrust wher you get a 6-course meal and trust the chef for all the rest. It was phenomenal! We loved every course. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors left us wanting more. Our server was amazing, very kind, and helped us choose the best wine, especially us not knowing what we would be eating. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend.
