Cafe Star is located at 3201 E Colfax Ave, Denver, 80206 – (303) 320-8635

It is fairly expensive (i think it averaged around $18 a plate) but well worth it. my girlfriend went their for small plate (cheaper) last week and said they were all good. you should definitely give it a try. let me know what you think.

I’ve walked by Sambuca a million times and never eaten there. Some day I’ll give it a try.

seriously, that was an amazing restaurant review. where is this cafe star and is it very expensive? sounds like it might be…but as i will be in denver next weekend and unable to waste my money on booze as i am presently knocked up, perhaps i’ll treat myself to a fine dining experience. location, please!

Hubs, you have missed your calling. You definitely need to do Restaurant Reviews for the Post.

My tummy is growling!

I’ve heard about the fabulous service and wonderful small plates at Cafe Star, and we’ve been meaning to check it out. It’s a couple blocks from our house, which makes it all the better! I’m glad to hear another positive review (and sorry to hear about Rosie’s experience).

ouch, souds like a bad one rosie. they were out of two desserts when we were there, it wasn’t a problem because we had an additional six to choose from though. Andrea noticed our table was wobbly when she set her hand on it – she asked me to scoot out my chair, quickly got on the floor, twisted the table leg, and viola it was fixed. seriously, she was incredible.

thanks for the suggestions.

wow – lucky you. you got to eat the pizzas AND the gnocchi there. when we went they were out those and, um, practically EVERYTHING else on the menu. it was only 7 PM. we ordered, and i kid you not, 3 times before what we wanted was actually available…the waitress had no clue and had to keep running back to check.

plus, my friend is preggers and can’t eat gorgonzola and requested it not come on her salad and then? gorgonzola. our table was wobbly and i sat with an empty wine glass for a long time.

sorry to be the cafe star buzzkill, man. but it was not a good experience. i will say that what we did end up eating was yummy, though.

ideas of other places: z cuisine, zengo, duo, bang.

Half of the menu is “small plate” so sharing is easy it just goes to show how accomadating they are there to break portions for you!

I had one of the best meals in Denver there on a date with my ex. We wanted to try everything so they actually made smaller portions of a couple of the dishes so we could have a buffet. It was great.
