                                                            The food and service were top notch. We sampled many dishes and were extremely impressed. Our cocktails were also excellent!

                                                            The food is excellent, but it’s pricey. I don’t like places that add a 20% service charge and then expect an additional tip for the server and bartender. Ugh.

                                                            The demeanor of our server was demoralizing, and the time between courses was exceptionally slow. My main arrived 15 minutes before my sister and we received no acknowledgment or explanation.

                                                            An overall amazing dining experience! Our server, Alex, was awesome. So patient and attentive. All of our food was divine. I love the warm, modern atmosphere (including the tiny little lantern on the table!) here. We had a table vs. a booth, which I much prefer for comfort and ability to talk for party of 4. It's been awhile since we'd eaten here and I don't know why ... it's been consistently awesome over the past 5 years. Hands down one of our top dining experiences in Denver.
