“Such a welcoming environment and great atmosphere altogether. I can’t speak highly enough about our server Logan! He helped us navigate the menu and recommended the martini “slippery when wet” and it was DELICIOUS! My meal was so full of flavor and perfectly cooked. 10/10 recommend overall you will not regret it! 🥰”
“This was such a great experience. The restaurant is gorgeous and so warm and welcoming. The food was 10/10 The mortadella tower was great, the mortadella was salty and delicious and the pickles were perfect. Elevated after school snack vibe. The Caesar salad was a huge hit for the table. Amazing flavor, perfectly dressed, and the lightest crispiest croutons. The kimchi grilled cheese with fries and tiger sauce is something I will crave. The tiger sauce was phenomenal. The caviar was yummy and beautifully presented. The service was incredible. Tamra (I believe) was attentive and took care of us. She went above and beyond. I don’t live here but will definitely make a point to come again on my next visit.”
“What a fabulous spot! We came for holiday drag, this is a class act place with Denver culture galore. Our server Daniel and associates are amazing and the food is so good I broke tradition. I ate it so fast I didn’t get photos it was that good. All made in house. The veggie quiche was delicious. The bar is fully stocked with every drink you can ask for. We highly recommend this unique space. Happy holidays everyone ;-)”
“Omg the food is sooo good (I had the waffle and duck confit). Excellent service and atmosphere. And, of course, DRAG BRUNCH! Even with all the crazy Colfax construction, it's an oasis. Especially that huge back patio spot! Bonus, they have a few parking spots tucked off the side street”
“Oh my! Let me tell you how we found this place! I was really craving Pho, so I found a restaurant with great reviews and when we got there at 6:30, they were already closed! 😟 So we started walking to another restaurant and it looked a little sketchy so we saw the Champagne Tiger across the street and it was packed so we decided to try it out. It was the best. Daniel was our first waiter and he gave us suggestions for drinks. I got the Princetonian and my husband got a margarita. He got some oysters and we ordered dinner. He got the Mustard Roasted Chicken and I got the Steak and Fries. Both amazing meals. You can tell the care that they take with their food. We spent some time talking with the owner, Chris, and then we got a new waiter, Aaron, as Daniel was leaving as he had been there all day. We ordered dessert, Chocolate Pot de Cream and it was so delicious! You can taste the richness of the chocolate that it was made with. We will definitely make this a regular dining spot when we are in Denver.”
