Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in Denver: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

Denver has enough notable restaurants that the Sapphire Reserve credit can be useful for a planned dinner. The best use is offsetting a meal you already wanted near downtown, LoDo, or another convenient area.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

Quick Take

For Denver, Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables currently has a broad list compared with many markets of 16 participating restaurants. The list has changed, with 8 restaurants appearing to be new and 3 earlier restaurants not showing now. The credit is useful only if the restaurants fit how you already plan to dine.

How the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Credit Works

Eligible Chase Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers can receive up to $300 per calendar year in statement credits at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants through OpenTable.

The credit is split into two windows:

• Up to $150 from January 1 through June 30
• Up to $150 from July 1 through December 31

To use the credit, dine at a participating Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant and pay with an eligible card. The credit does not apply to every OpenTable restaurant, unused credits do not roll over between the two six-month periods, and participating restaurants can change.

Eligible cardmembers can also link an eligible card on OpenTable for access to special or primetime reservation inventory. Terms apply.

Denver Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Alma Fonda Fina

Alma Fonda Fina is chef Johnny Curiel's Michelin-starred LoHi Mexican restaurant, focused on personal, refined takes on Mexican tradition. The $150 credit is useful for a hard-to-book special dinner; expect it to offset part of the meal, not erase the check.

Rioja

Rioja is chef Jennifer Jasinski's Larimer Square Mediterranean restaurant, known for seasonal cooking, bright flavors, handmade pastas, and an established downtown reputation. It is a flexible Denver credit use for a polished dinner that feels local without requiring tasting-menu pricing.

KUMOYA

KUMOYA is a LoHi Japanese restaurant from sushi chef Corey Baker with Max Mackissock, mixing sushi, izakaya-style dishes, kappo inspiration, and ingredients from Japan and Colorado. Use the credit for a sushi-and-small-plates night where quality drives the spend.

Ash'Kara

Ash'Kara in the Highlands serves Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-influenced food, with lunch, happy hour, and dinner service noted by OpenTable. It is a practical credit play when you want hummus, breads, grilled dishes, and cocktails rather than a steakhouse or tasting menu.

A5 Steakhouse

A5 is LoHi's modern steakhouse, built around oysters, martinis, producer stories, beef, and hospitality. The $150 credit fits the format well: apply it to a planned steak dinner where appetizers, sides, or drinks would already put the bill over the half-year threshold.

BRUTØ

BRUTØ is an 18-seat downtown tasting-menu restaurant focused on fermentation, preservation, regenerative sourcing, and full use of ingredients. It is a serious splurge redemption; the Sapphire Reserve credit is best viewed as a partial rebate on a very intentional meal.

Cozobi Fonda Fina

Cozobi Fonda Fina in Boulder is chef Johnny Curiel's follow-up to Alma, named for the Zapotec god of corn and centered on Mexican culture, nixtamalization, and wood-fire cooking. Use the credit for a Boulder dinner where masa and fire are the draw.

Frasca Food and Wine

Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder is the Friuli-focused icon from Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson, with Michelin and James Beard recognition and a serious wine program. The $150 credit is a small but worthwhile offset for a destination Colorado dinner.

Tavernetta Denver

Tavernetta near Union Station is Frasca Hospitality Group's Italian restaurant, known for handmade pastas, regional hospitality, Italian wine, and Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. It is one of Denver's most practical premium credit uses for a pasta-and-wine dinner.

Alteno

Alteño in Cherry Creek comes from Michelin-starred chef-owner Johnny Curiel, paying homage to Los Altos de Jalisco with Mexican flavors, agave spirits, cocktails, and sommelier-curated wines. Use the credit for a polished Mexican dinner outside the downtown core.

Mezcaleria Alma

Mezcaleria Alma sits beside Alma Fonda Fina in LoHi with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits program. It is a useful $150-window target when you want a more flexible, mezcal-and-shared-plates experience than Alma's harder-to-book format.

El Five

El Five is the fifth-floor LoHi / Highlands restaurant with skyline views, Mediterranean small plates influenced by Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, plus a nightly early happy hour. The credit works well for sunset drinks, shared plates, and a view-driven dinner.

Osteria Alberico

Osteria Alberico in Englewood is Frasca Hospitality Group's neighborhood Italian restaurant, serving Napoletana-style pizza, handmade pastas, wood-fired proteins, Italian wine, and amaro. It is a practical south-metro credit use without driving into Denver or Boulder.

Xiquita

Xiquita is chef Erasmo Casiano's Mexico City-inspired Denver restaurant, highlighting indigenous Mexican ingredients, tortillas, tamales, charcoal-grilled fish, and dishes such as infladita de carne apache. Use the credit for a more specific Mexican meal than standard tacos and margaritas.

Four by Brother Luck

Four by Brother Luck in Colorado Springs is chef Brother Luck's restaurant built around Southwestern and Four Corners influences, tasting menus, and seasonal ingredients. It is useful for cardholders south of Denver who want the credit without turning dinner into a metro-area trip.

Pizzeria Alberico

Pizzeria Alberico in Boulder is Frasca Hospitality Group's East Pearl pizzeria, focused on wood-fired Napoletana-style pies, naturally fermented dough, seasonal toppings, salads, salumi, and gelato. It is a casual way to use the credit, though a group helps use the full $150.

Notable Picks

Best steakhouse option

A5 Steakhouse. Pick from this group if you wanted steak anyway; otherwise, the dining credit may not change the math enough.

Best Italian or pizza option

Tavernetta Denver, Osteria Alberico, Pizzeria Alberico. This bucket is usually more flexible than a fixed-menu splurge and can work better for a practical credit use.

Best seafood option

Alma Fonda Fina, Cozobi Fonda Fina. Good fit when seafood already matches the meal you had in mind.

Best Japanese or sushi option

KUMOYA. Check the current menu format before assuming the $150 credit covers much of the bill.

Best practical shortlist

Alma Fonda Fina, Rioja, Ash'Kara, BRUTØ. For most readers, this is the first bucket to check before turning the credit into an expensive special-occasion meal.

Final Thoughts

Denver looks like a strong market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, but only if the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would actually visit.

The $300 annual amount is helpful, but only the portion you realistically use should count in your card math. If Denver's list changes where you eat just to use the benefit, value it at less than face value.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for Denver and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
