Acova

"Doing good in the neighborhood, this popular New American haunt in LoHi donates $2 from the sale of every kid’s meal — be it a grilled-cheese sandwich, chicken fingers, or pasta with red sauce — to a different children’s charity each month (you can view the list of beneficiaries on its website). Though the patio no longer has a playground, it’s still expansive enough to give growing limbs a chance to stretch while parents linger over wine slushies, crab cakes, and prime rib dips." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Greenery also bedecks the patio at this LoHi neighborhood joint, where couples and families alike get together for easygoing eats like artichoke-heart fritters with thyme Dijonnaise, prime rib dips with peppers and mushrooms, and lobster mac-and-cheese with prosciutto. Smart cocktails, including the Highland Fog Martini with Earl Grey gin, lavender-infused oat milk, tea concentrate, and aquafaba, bid them to linger a while." - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias

"While not technically frosé, (derived from rosé wine), Acova’s take on a slushie wine drink, The Misty, is worth the mention. The Italian-influenced eatery pours up a sweet frozen concoction made from organic red or white wine; customers can choose from either or have a mix of both." - Nisa Sedaghat

"Brand new to LoHi, Acova offers a 100-seat patio with an indoor-outdoor bar and addictive organic red and white wine slushies. They also come in a mixed pour (pictured)." - Camila Navarrette

"After nearly two years of work on the former Patsy’s building at 3651 Navajo Street, the new Acova restaurant and bar is ready to open. Customers of its 95-year predecessor will hardly recognize the place — bones are intact but a 100-seat dining room has been opened and turned industrial-modern. There is an indoor-outdoor bar and a 100-person patio. Soon patrons will be able to roam a back courtyard with more neighborhood businesses filling old buildings, and even a kids playground." - Josie Sexton
