   Chef is only slightly annoyed that I call him chef every time he visits our table. "You can call me Jon, you know." I reply "Thanks Chef Jon." As punishment, he brings me a glass of chartreuse. "You're gonna talk like a cook, you gotta drink like one."

   Fantastic experience! A one man show. Not what we expected, but amazing how seemlessly chef pulled it all off on his own. It all worked out fine, but a bit more energy in the space would have been nice. It is January, so not unexpected. Cheers to a wonderful dinner experience and an impressive one man band!

   We had an excellent experience at Bistro Barbes. The proprietor is so knowledgeable and welcoming. We are vegetarian so we called ahead, since the menu is a pre-set four course meal. He cooked us a beautiful vegetarian main course. We had the 4 course wine accompaniment as well. The wines were excellent, and $40 for 4 different wines was a good value. Overall a great dining experience.

    Chef Jon delivered a dinning experience we won’t soon forget . He is a one man show from start to finish . you feel like you are dining with family. I asked questions about the menu and wine parings , Jon gave the history behind the dishes he created, what inspired it . We can’t say enough about our evening.

    This place is amazing. The chef/owner does everything. He serves the tables and cooks. And the food is incredible. The Moroccan dish he served as the main entree was some of the best food in Denver.

    I hate to say it, but this place was a disappointment. The food was pretty pedestrian for the price. I like the idea of a one man show in theory, but really, it'd be better if he could concentrate on the food and let someone else take care of the rest.

    Hands-down one of the best restaurants in Colorado! Everything is always perfectly executed, and I mean perfectly! The chef is one of the most humble men I have ever spoken to in his own kitchen and runs what should be a Michelin star restaurants basically completely by himself! Top shelf kudos!

    This is a destination for true food lovers. The 4 course tasting menu offers simple but creative and elegant fare. This is a one man operation and the owner/chef carries it off masterfully. The quality of food, service and care are very unique in the restaurant world today. This is a special place for a quiet date night.

    This is by far the best restaurant in Denver. The english pea gnocci is unbelievable. The citrus sauce is so good that it is hard not to lick your plate to get every bit of it. The dessert is as perfect as it gets. Under a coffee cup made of chocolate is a taste and texture you cannot help but savor.

    Superb in every way. Decor needs help but the garage-like exterior and very basic interior serve to keep "hidden gem" status of the food and service.

    Our favorite place for celebrations. The menu is limited, but the food is exceptional and the chef is able to accommodate food allergies without lessening the experience. The space is small and unassuming, but the attention and service are beyond compare. I highly recommend this restaurant.
