    For the longest time – – years, in fact – – I have avoided this restaurant at this location because of previous bad experience with previous incarnation of this restaurant – – I was so pleasantly surprised the food was wonderful, delicious authentic, reasonably priced, and the staff was perfectly delightful

    Great little restaurant, good food, service and ambience. A bit noisy but largely due to guffawing guests with zero self-awareness and lack of respect for other diners.

    We were a group of four old friends with fairly broad taste. Each of us (the fish lover, the steak lover, the vegetarian and fowl aficionado) came away from the meal feeling that it had been outstanding. We selected two bottles of wine from the daily specials list and found them to be good quality and excellent value. And the service was just what we wanted: attentive and friendly, yet never disruptive. It was our first time here, but we will return.

    Probably some of the best food I have had in Denver. Hamburger cooked perfectly..top grade meat. Salmon was perfect. Osoboco was great. Chocolate cake was delicious but banana desert only fair. Good decaf coffee too. Sergio was a very good waiter..tended to our needs!

    One bump but overall we were pleasantly surprised. Ordered the beet salad which was great, the beets for me could use a balsamic reduction and maybe a few minutes less cooking but it was otherwise a great salad. Warm duck salad I would have loved a few pomegranate seeds or some tartness from an orange/kumquat and I'd have sacrificed a few pieces of the duck for that, as there was plenty of very tasty duck on the plate. Gin and tonic was excellent and I'm a bit of a G&T snob! The bump in the road for us was the entrees. The Osso Buco was extremely dry and really not nice at all. The server immediately switched that for the steak au poivre which I insisted they charge me for because it was that good. The Beef Bourguignon was a bit salty and had it been my dinner I probably would have struggled to eat it. For dessert we went with chocolate mousse and creme brulee, both were very good. The biggest question is whether you'd return to a restaurant and we would come back again the next time we're in Cherry Creek.

    This could have been a great experience, but we were in the back corner next to a LOUD table and only lackluster service and mains/ desserts. Starters were fantastic (oysters, escargot, mussels) but mains were substandard (special miso cod that was thin, potently fishy, not at all a miso cod of Nobu variety) and bananas foster for my daughter’s 16th birthday was cold and not even an attempt to flambé it. I would recommend Le French or Coohills for a much better experience.

    The ambience was great. The staff was polite, and very attentive. It was quiet, even when more of a crowd came in the restaurant. There seemed to be a good work flow set up between the waitresses. The food was magnificent and you can tell the chef took their time preparing each plate. I have never been to a French restaurant before, so I asked how to pronounce a couple of the dishes, and my waitress was very nice about teaching me the pronunciation. The only negative remark I have is that once a bigger crowd came in to the restaurant, and more attention was needed on the floor, our table seemed to have been forgotten about as we waited for our check for almost 20 minutes or so after trying to flag down our waitress. However, once we grabbed their attention they moved promptly. Our to go plates were neatly plated and bagged. We will definitely be returning.
