Ollie & Park's

We stopped here on our way to the festival of lights at the botanical Gardens. It is located 1 mile away. This is what we would call a good decision. I’m always surprised when I see Alberino on the wine menu because it’s uncommon and also my favorite so we started off on a very good foot. This is a tapas bar so we started each with a short rib taco which was divine and we forgot to take a picture because we smashed them so quickly. Then a warm compote brie, which was even better. Next up were the meatballs which were good, but did not knock either of the other two out of first place. We finished off with the Parmesan truffle fries. Woof! Our server Ritchie was great with keeping the food perfectly placed and keeping the glasses filled. Also very accommodating to my service dog and my request for a half booth. We had a great experience.

Great (American) Tapas spot! Great service! Great food! Good mix of flavors and techniques! You should definitely swing through, pictures labeled with cost and menus at the end. Credit card charge is separate at 3%. Brunch on the weekends about 10-3 and lunch menu Tuesday to Friday 11-3. Neither pictured.

Hands down, one of the best brunches I’ve had in Denver. Every dish we tried at Ollie and Parks was absolutely stellar—from execution to flavor to presentation. We started with the Smothered Chicken & Biscuit, which came layered with creamy sausage gravy, silky béarnaise, and a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. The biscuit was fluffy and hearty, and the grits underneath brought everything together into one rich, soulful bite. The Shrimp & Grits delivered unexpected depth—creamy heirloom cheese grits paired with sweet tomato and pepper brightness, spicy chorizo sausage, and a white wine garlic finish that made every forkful better than the last. I personally ordered the Steak & Eggs with flank steak, cooked medium rare, and it came out perfectly. Juicy, flavorful, and complemented by béarnaise, crispy home fries, and toast with eggs your way. It felt like a true weekend reward. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Benedict was another standout—fresh crab, poached eggs, a punchy hollandaise, and dill on a toasted English muffin. It was rich, satisfying, and well-balanced with crispy home fries. We also shared the Pecan CinnaSticky Bun, and it’s everything you want in a brunch dessert: gooey, warm, nutty, and comforting without being overly sweet. The kind of thing you think you’ll just take one bite of… and then it’s gone. Drink-wise, I had a spicy Bloody Mary—bright, tangy, and savory with a nice kick of heat. It came garnished simply with lemon and lime, no peppered rim, and it was the perfect match for the savory dishes. I also had an espresso martini made with real, fresh espresso—not cold brew—and it was incredible. Frothy, bold, and smooth, with just enough sweetness and that perfect coffee punch to keep you buzzing through brunch. 💬 The atmosphere is welcoming and stylish, the service was warm and attentive, and every plate that came out of the kitchen made us wish we had room for one more dish. 📸 I’ll be posting photos of each plate—because honestly, they looked as good as they tasted. Whether you’re local or visiting, Ollie and Parks needs to be on your brunch bucket list. Trust me—you don’t want to miss out on this spot.

Traveling all the way from Florida, we inquired to which Downtown restaurants were on Denver's "Must Try" list. Ollie & Parks Denver was hands-down one of the favorites with the locals we spoke with. The restaurant is posh with classy stylish decor that offered an open and comfortable seating arrangement. I loved the that tables/seating weren't crammed together and were spaced far enough apart. My fiancée' and I were greeted at the door, brought to our table and enthusiastically greeted by our stellar waiter Eric. We ordered drinks and Eric described the menu and offered menu suggestion according to our conversation of likes and dislikes. My Fiancé' ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict, and I followed Erics suggestion and ordered the Ollie & Parks Breakfast Platter. Everything was on point with our brunch and especially Eric, our waiter, bringing it all together with just the right amount of attention and conversation. We cannot brag enough about this gem and our experience. We look forward to returning in December 2025 and already made plans to return.
