That question is too hard because there are too many choices. After you go through the large selection of downtown Golden options you now have the expanded variety of choices that are going in at Colorado Mills which is on the other side of Colfax street from technical Golden. Since Golden is about location I like to find places that you can enjoy the outdoors. Bridgewater Grill and Grappa sit on Clear Creek at Washington and 11th; both offer outdoor seating, great views, and the sound of the river. After dinner, you can take an awesome stroll on the river walk to make up for your dining sins :)
