Randolph's Restaurant & Bar

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch with colleagues at this lovely new North Capital Hill restaurant. The pork cheek and octopus starters were phenom. The prosciutto pizza to die for. And the desserts... Yes, plural... Don't judge. I will be back again and again. Well done to the Warwick team on a gorgeous dining experience.

October, 2015 - I was staying at the hotel (Warwick) and decided to have dinner there. The soft ambient lighting made the place very cozy and romantic. It was also very confortable. They had a nice selection of wines by the glass, and the lamb chops were delicious. The bar was also very good. Had a wonderful time, there.

We enjoyed our meal at Randolphs. Randolph's is a large, elegant, airy, well-appointed space, with comfortable seating and lovely views of downtown. There are cloth towels in the men's room. I always appreciate a hotel that will go to the time, trouble, and expense to provide this simple luxury. To start, we were treated to some wonderful ciabatta, hot out of the oven, with a perfect garlic chive butter. As an appetizer we had the lump crab cake accompanied by a sauce that was a little overbearing for my taste. My partner, who goes sauce-free, thought the crab was perfect. We then enjoyed the escarole Caesar salad. The dressing was a little too lemony for our taste, and we agreed that we would have preferred the standard romaine. However, the salad was super fresh and well-presented and especially good with a little more of that ciabatta. Our main courses were outstanding. My partner loved his scallops, and my pork loin was over the top. I asked for a substitution in accompaniments, and they cheerfully obliged. The result was perfect, with a lovely sage flavor just in time for the holidays. We finished with the deconstructed New York cheesecake, a sweet finish to a great meal. A strange element was a piece of lettuce which might have been meant to be a green presentation aspect. Maybe they ran out of mint. Our server was perfect, but other staff could have been more punctual in removing our leftover plates. All in all, it was a great meal in a lovely setting.

Being attached to the Warwick Hotel I wasn't expecting much beyond an okay steak and beer. To my surprise, Randolph's exceeded all of my expectations, from the quality of food to staff. The manager, George, was extremely friendly, hospitable and greeted me upon sitting down. I asked for a recommendation, he suggested the filet, explaining it was local Colorado beef, and assured me I would be happy. He could not have been more right! From Hawaii to Amsterdam and back, this was hands down the best filet mignon I've had. My waiter Nick was extremely attentive and friendly, even helped with some local hiking recommendations. I don't think I ever had an empty glass during the meal. The cook is simply amazing at Randolph's, the quality of the food and presentation is far beyond what I expected. In addition to the amazing food, management was superb, and the waiters truly care about their job. Very long story short, I'm getting another filet tonight while on my trip.
