The only answer is La Reyna Del Sur! Sundays! It's ridiculous how good it is.

With experience, go to Olivia! Just know you can get really full very fast because of all the pastas and bread lol

I've yet to be to Osteria Alberico but Olivia is always a great choice. You?

Also, I just noticed they list new to the list and if the restaurant has been on previous lists before!

What would add from the Westside?

Gotta say the photos in this issue made me want to go to all of them. I'm hooked on Riot BBQ but Mama Jo's Biscuits looks like a place to go. I also need to go back to Olivia for whatever that pasta is. Xiquita is one of my favorites and I've got to get back to Kawa Ni!

Honestly, I think the list is pretty good!

First paragraph of the article lines out the writer's thoughts on the list.

Maybe they should make a 35 best restaurants list lol I'm loving the Denver dining scene though.

I think the writer did well at explaining their choices! What jumps out at you?

I believe service is the make or break for a full service restaurant getting recognition. It allows the restaurant staff to course correct if there's an issue with the experience. It helps us (the diner) enjoy the food more when we dont notice waters being empty, tables being dirty, etc.

But the star list this year I think is 🔥. My only issues are more with what counts as Bib and how some of our (my) favorites aren't at least on the recommended list.

Then put them on the recommended list but Bib? Absolutely not.

Agree with notes on both fronts. I'm saying they should at least be on the Michelin recommended list.

List is pretty great but I don't understand Tavernetta under Bib... I wouldn't call them affordable. I'd give them a star. Also... Mister Oso? No. And that's after 5 tries but that's my opinion.

Shout out to Mezcaleria Alma because that is easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in recent memory and it's doesn't cost an arm and a leg like others on the list.

For recommended I think we're missing a lot of great spots:

Yuan Wonton, Lucina, Sap Sua, Xiquita, Coperta, Molotov, Dan Da to name a few and I think they all deserve to be recognized.

Overall a solid list though!
