Littleton has plenty of dining options, but we have rounded up our top 5 places to go for a romantic dinner that happen to be close to the Sterling Ranch community.
Cafe Terracotta
Cafe Terracotta is an Old Town staple that is famous for its welcoming atmosphere and unique spin on classic dishes.
The dinner menu is small, but carefully curated to suit any taste. The ribeye served with scalloped potatoes, crispy shallots, sweet baby broccoli, and horseradish cream butter is to die for.
Seafood options include the Pan Fried Panko Encrusted Honey Pepper Walleye. The crisp and flaky entree is served with a lemon dijon sauce, potatoes, and bacon with caramelized red onions.
Vegetarians will enjoy the risotto primavera, a creamy and indulgent dish made with arborio rice, broth, and seasonal vegetables like squash and caramelized onion.
The Melting Pot
The Melting Pot has been voted one of Colorado’s “Most Romantic Restaurants,” and for good reason. Each location is unique, but all offer private tables and the intimacy that comes with sharing a meal.
The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant. Their Four-Course Dinner for Two starts with a cheese fondue and all sorts of delicious dippables. French bread, polish sausage, green apples, and seasonal vegetables are served with long forks and dipped in a melted cheese sauce that is prepared tableside.
Once you’ve finished your cheese course, you will cleanse your palette with a fresh salad while your server prepares your cooking method. A selection of pre-seasoned cuts of meat, veggies, and seafood is brought for you to cook in a flavorful broth or vegetable oil.
Finish your meal with a sweet and decadent chocolate fondue served with marshmallows, brownie bites, and fresh fruit.
NoNo’s Cafe
NoNo’s was opened by Sonda and Brian Brewster in 1996. The pair moved to Denver from New Orleans and had a dream of bringing their hometown’s unique flavors to the Mile High City. The restaurant is named after Sonda’s grandfather, whom she called “Nono.”
NoNo’s offers delicious Cajun favorites like blackened catfish, gumbo, and red beans and rice. If you’re looking for more traditional fare, the cozy cafe also serves up delicious homestyle dishes, including beef stroganoff, shepherd’s pie, and grilled ribeye.
End the meal on a sweet note with Nono’s beignets and a cafe au lait.
Smokin Fins
As the name would suggest, Smokin Fins specializes in seafood. They have a full sushi menu with classics like the California and spicy tuna rolls. Their main menu features delicious seafood staples, including baked lobster mac n’ cheese, fish and chips, and cedar plank salmon.
A house specialty is the Honey Chipotle Salmon, a center cut fillet that is grilled and glazed with a honey chipotle sauce, served with smothered mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
For a truly indulgent meal, try the Crab Platter: 1.5 pounds of Arctic snow crab served with truffle fries, drawn butter, and a fresh salad.
Platte River Bar and Grill
If you’re looking for dinner and a show, Platte River Bar and Grill is for you. You can enjoy delicious Mexican favorites while you listen to live music performed by local bands.
Sip on a giant, 32 oz Platte margarita and enjoy a sizzling plate of fajitas or a beef burrito smothered in pork green chile sauce. If you’re in the mood for more traditional bar food, try the honey bacon cheeseburger with a side of onion rings or a California club with smoked turkey on toasted sourdough.
If you still have room, the sopapilla sticks served with raspberry dipping sauce are absolutely delicious and great for sharing.
