    This was our first time at Ace Eat Serve. We were a bit concerned about dining amongst ping pong tables but they do not take away at all from the dining experience. The service and food were all very good. Highly recommend the carrot cake for desert.

    It was all good... food was great, employees were awesome & it was a fun experience... we played ping pong while we waited for our dinner reservations... even though we went in for the duck, I set up a reservation via the nudge & opentable via the link that was given, didnt ask if I wanted the duck or not... they told me to go via their site, which brings us back to open table... well try again for Fathers day for the duck, it was good so worth coming back to try other things, even with the mix up on Mothers day... I have photos & video, but non of our actual food... sorry! But trust it was BOMB!!!

    Love, love, love Ace Eat Serve!! I've had so much great food here and I can't eat a fair chunk of the menu due to an allergy. (Our servers have been awesome about answering questions and making sure I'm safe with my picks!) I also just took a group of friends who hadn't been before and they're all planning to go back. Make sure you don't skip desserts because the way they combine flavors is wonderful, plus there are ube and ginger ice creams! (Keep an eye out for the newest dessert with Vietnamese coffee ice cream - I'm in love!)

    Living in Northern Colorado, I hear the name Ace, Eat, Serve often and had to try it. But I was quickly disappointed. While the food was good, the service was the worst I’ve experienced in a restaurant recently. Our server came over to check on this approximately 2x during the 90 minutes we were there, and he seemed very rushed and not personable while we were there. He seemed like a very nice guy but if there was stress going on that day, he showed it. That personality was shared by everyone we came into contact with as well. The taste of food wasn’t enough to cover up the lacking service, so it will be a tough sell for us to make a return.

    The service left a lot to be desired. We booked a table for the outside patio online but I guess that’s not available for brunch? So we weren’t actually able to sit outside which was disappointing. Most of the food was outstanding but the crispy rice balls were so hard you could chip a tooth on them. Generally a fun place but not dying to go back anytime soon.

    Went with a group of 4 people. My food came out about 15 minutes after everyone else’s and when it arrived it was still not fully cooked and it was missing the side I ordered. Another 15 minutes and the side never shows. Expected my side to be comped or something but it never arrived. Waffles were still raw batter in the middle. Everyone else who I was with had a great meal, and our server was nice but clearly had too many tables. He would disappear at for a while and we couldn’t even get a side of ranch bc he didn’t check in on us once food arrived. I’ve heard good things and would certainly try again but it was a bit disappointing for my first experience there.

    We had to wait almost 20 minutes past our reservation time because they were running behind on reservations. When we sat down we had a wobbly table and our server told us she would bring something to fix it but never did. The appetizers were good. We ordered three entrees one of which they were out of. The beef and broccoli was gods however the cashew chicken just tasted like boiled chicken. Our waitress took about 10-15 minutes to check on us afford our food which was too long considering we had some requests. She was very busy chatting with coworkers throughout our whole meal and took a very long time to help us with anything.

    We booked not knowing it was disco night. Literally had to flag the server every time, even to wipe up the water he spilled. They cranked up the music so loud that by 8:30, we could not converse. It was a race to get out so I didn’t even bother to pack up the food we didn’t eat. What a waste.

    We had a large group here and had such a fun time at dinner. Our server Fox was beyond delightful and patient with our large group. The only issue we had is that we chose the location so our kids could play ping pong while we had dinner and apparently you have to make reservations in advance so we weren't able to play ping pong and the kids were very antsy.

    We had a great experience at Ace for my mom's birthday. We pre-ordered a duck which was amazing and the rest of the food was excellent. The service was good overall. Our server was very attentive at the start but did not check back after the food arrived and we had to track him down to clear the table and for the check. The environment is fun but a bit noisy. We will definitely be back!

    Our food was delicious! However, our server was less than ok and the restaurant was freezing! He came off irritable and as if he didn't like people very much. He wasn't friendly, we had to ask for refills (even while he was looking at our empty glasses), when we asked questions about the menu, he acted bothered, and he ordered a completely different dessert than what we asked for (we ordered carrot cake, we got the Coco Mocha). We just ate it, confused b/c it didn't look like carrot cake or taste like it, but it also didn't taste like chocolate. When we asked him if it was carrot cake, he told us confidently it was the Coco Mocha, so he clearly had no idea he ordered the wrong thing. We didn't say anything b/c we had already eaten over ¾ of it and it was good. It was 47 degrees outside and the doors were wide open the entire time, so the whole dining area was extremely cold. I had on a heavy coat and a dress, so my legs were freezing, and my poor husband was shivering the entire time (and he had on a sweater and slacks). If it had not been for the amazing cooks, we would never consider returning. They were the saving grace.

    My waiter was outstanding! Used to be the Restaurant Week deal was inflexible but I could have chosen to get/not get any course and wish I had passed on dessert. I've also experienced smaller portions for restaurant week and Ace's portions were wonderful. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed eating out like last night. Also, I dined alone, didn't feel uncomfortable and wasn't the only lonely eater. 8 appreciate a place that didn't make me uncomfortable for being single. Thank you Ace!

    I was worried when some of the reviews for this place were saying the food was bland and not so good but that was not my experience at all. Everything my party ordered was amazing, especially the Korean fried wings and the potstickers. The drinks were also really well balanced and used interesting flavors. The staff were very kind as well, the only downside was a little bit of a wait for our table even though we made a reservation. But, that was by no means a damper to the great night we had here! Would definitely return to try out the ping pong tables.

    Everything was great. My husband and I ordered the Brussels, tiger wings, pancake, wontons! Food was great and descent portions well seasoned. Prices are higher in restaurant than shown on open table. More expensive in comparison than other similar food choices but everything is high now soo might as well eat good and make it worth it.
