In Short – Plenty of TVs decorate this sports pub with a penchant for tuning in everyone's favorite Colorado teams. There is an impressive list of brews and grogs, and always a microbrew of the week. The restaurant side of the operation has a good reputation for steaks, seafood and pasta. Rare for a sports pub, the bar has an extensive vintage wine list which regularly wins awards. –

tourist trap
by dlaw2828
In our recent stay at Winter Park our group of 16 decided to try Deno's. We had a group of children with us. The children sat at a seperate table. The waitress that served them decided to up sell them from the kids menu and without asking the childrens parents served them from the normal menu instead of the childrens menu. One seven year old girl was served a 14 inch large pizza instead of the pizza of the chidrens menu. All of the other children were also brought adult size portions instead of ordering off the childrens menu. The waitress just did this on her own and did not consult any of the adults in the party.
We spoke with the owner and he was very condescending. He was very rude and told us that in that part of the dining room they do not serve children. We asked then why did they take our reservation and bring childrens menu's. He did not answer. He made scene in his own bar and humiliated a member of our party. At this point they had allready added the 20% tip to our bill and then was not a whole lot we could do about. The food was average and the prices high. The staff was rude, they laughed at us on the way out the door. Overall this was the worst dining experience I have ever had.
- Pros: location
- Cons: managment

Wow! This place is bad!!
by MParker
For $50 a person (after a soda, tax, and gratuity), I would expect to be treated well and leave happy. The food was cold. When we complained to the staff, they were unwilling to make things right. Big time tourist trap!!
- Pros: none
- Cons: Expensive, poorly prepared food, terrible service!!

Worst dining experience EVER!
by skibear
The people here were trying to create an upscale dining experience, but the white paper tablecloths and basketball games on the TVs that were everywhere just didn't do it. There is more to fine dining than over-priced, over-cooked food. The waitstaff was inexperienced and the management was horrifyingly rude. I would not recommend this "restaurant" to anyone! Go get some bar food somewhere else...the quality will be better and you will pay a fourth of the price. To top it all off, the bathrooms were a mess...makes one wonder how clean the kitchen is! Maybe that's why those in the group that had the cod were in the bathroom the entire next day.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everyone that had the fish became sick
