   Jon was wonderful. Just a nice one man show. Chef, server and host in all one. Great food. Best meal in a long time.

   We made a last-minute reservation without doing much research, and I’m so glad we ended up here. We were greeted by the host/waiter/chef/owner, took a seat and discovered they have a single tasting menu with wine pairings if you’re inclined. Dinner went smoothly, with my wife asking for some accommodations to a couple of courses, which were no problem. Dessert was the highlight of an entirely enjoyable meal.

   Loved the tasting menu and wine pairings. Amazed that John does this by himself.

   Outstanding quality of food and service! Amazing how only one person can run a restaurant like that. You are never without a drink or water, food is served in a timely manner. Lovely dining experience!

   Great experience at a truly fine dining establishment. Tucked away on a neighborhood street is what has made o be one of Denver’s hidden gems. This one man show is a wonderful and professional of great food and service. A win pairing that’s carefully thought out makes for a memorable experience. Highly recommend this spot if you want a special meal. Thank you Jon I will definitely return for more.

   Hidden gem experience with ridiculously good food. Pre fixe menu as the owner, chef, waiter, sommelier are all one and the same but that doesn’t impact the experience and quality.

    Fine dining at its best. Felt like we had our own private chef . Each of the 4 courses were delicious and meticulously prepared. I did the wine pairing and the wines were excellent. Recommend highly.
