Dinner, Dessert & Ping Pong: Steuben’s & Ace Eat Serve Denver

Disclosure:  My family and I were provided with a free dinner, dessert and some ping pong in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are my own.  No other compensation was provided. 

About Steuben’s Food Service Uptown:

Steuben’s Food Service — now found in uptown Denver and Arvada, Colorado — are named after a restaurant in Boston that my Great Uncles, Max and Joe, opened in 1945. The original Steuben’s became a famous Boston restaurant, nightclub, and hotspot from the 1940’s to the 1960’s on Boylston Street. The Vienna Room, The Cave, and The Blue Room were all part of the Steuben’s space and hosted Big Band, Jazz, and Swing groups with The Rat Pack, Proms and Sweet Sixteens and more. In its prime, Steuben’s was the center of the Boston dining and nightlife scene.

Both Steuben’s Food Service locations in Colorado respect the history of their name and the core ingredients of the American Regional classics we have attempted to recreate. These dishes are America’s cuisine and American’s interpretations of the dishes of our diverse cultural heritage. We have enjoyed the endless debates, opinions, stories, research, consultations and food memories that have led us to the opening version of the Steuben’s menu. Eat at Steuben’s. Take-Out from Steuben’s. Drink at Steuben’s. Feel at home at Steuben’s.

About Ace Eat Serve Denver:

Ace Eat Serve features three unique spaces, housed in the old Storz Garage space at the corner of 17th & Pennsylvania. Like it’s sister restaurants, Steuben’s and Vesta, great attention was given to the design of Ace Eat Serve. Repurposed and recycled materials are used throughout the space to create an industrial design and comfortable setting that compliments the history of the building. Ace Eat Serve was a recipient of the 2012 Mayor’s Design Award.

The fun and lively energy of the Ping-Pong hall carries itself to the outdoor Pong tables, picnic tables, and into the dining room. Ace Eat Serve is a different and affordable night out. A drink on the patio, a casual dinner at the Chef’s Counter, and some laughs over a game of Pong combine to make Ace Eat Serve a totally new and unique concept to Denver. Ace Eat Serve prepares Asian-inspired dishes conducive to sharing, drinking and hanging out.
