Incredible. From the warm greeting at the door to the last bite of lava cake and everything in between, we had a great experience here for my dad’s bday. We ordered the seafood paella and about 4-5 tapas and some wine varieties - all were incredibly flavored and balanced. The staff are all very well trained and it was the best customer service experience I have had in a long time. This has become a new favorite spot for a special dining experience. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Came here with my wife and daughter. Reservations are recommended. We were promptly seated and our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. My wife has a severe nut allergy and they were able to accommodate us on our orders. They have a nice selection of tapas and the food came out at nice intervals. Everything was amazing, flavorful, and delicious. I paired my selections with a nice red wine. We all finished up by sharing a chocolate lava cake. Nicely done 9th Door!

Best authentic tapas in Denver. Bravo to the chefs creations. Sangria is well balanced, not overly sweet. Each dish was a home run full of flavor, fair proportions. The wagyu steak and pork skewers were our fav dishes. Great date night spot! Will be back.
