“Jennifer was our server and she guided us on what to order! She was super helpful and we couldn’t have loved the food more. We went with the Ragu and the Steak Frites. The Ragu was incredible and the Steak was tender to the point of melting. She then recommended desert and we went with the Chocolate Cola cake. It was good! Overall great visit and we were super glad to have had Jennifer as our server!”

“the BEST meal i’ve had in a very VERY long time, as a denver native. the short rib pasta special was insane and my husband had the best roasted chicken of his life (it’s usually all he orders at restaurants). jennifer was GREAT and we will be back!! :) thank you!!!!”

“The steak on the steak frites was cooked PERFECTLY. It was so tender and flavorful. The fries were super good and nice and salty. Got garlic aioli with it which was delicious. They also had one of my favorite cocktails on the menu- a Hugo spritz. It was really nicely balanced and it was such a delight to be able to sip it out on the patio on a warm evening. The place is pretty kid friendly, too. My 1 year old was crawling around for a solid 10 minutes and the staff were kind and accommodating even when we occasionally blocked walkways. Overall an awesome experience and would highly recommend!”

“I lived in Denver for years and never knew about this little tucked away gem. A group of six of us sat comfortably near the bar, there was some noise but we were all still able to hold a good conversation. Nick, our server, was legit the sweetest!! We really enjoyed him, and would request him again next time. We ordered a variety of cocktails and mocktails, they were all very good (mocktails were a bit expensive for no alcohol, but I guess it's a Denver thing). We ordered deviled eggs and whipped ricotta apps, steak frites, French dip, bolognese, and the trout with a side of Brussels. The trout was a standout, but everyone enjoyed their food. I'd return again for two orders of the trout and to visit Nick 😃”

“One of the best restaurants in Denver! Feels on par with Alma Fonda Fina and is definitely my favorite restaurant to take friends and family visiting in Denver. I’ve yet to have a bad dish or drink here. Also the greenhouses in winter are absolutely magical!”
