    Very convenient to the Bellco Theater. Great setting for a fine dining experience. Attentive staff. We will be sure to keep this in mind for our next visit to the Denver performing Art complex

    Location is inside The Slate hotel, which wasn’t terribly obvious when making the reservation. Party of 5 and we were all required to order from the same menu even though we were on separate checks. Makes zero sense. My fish was good but heavily salted. The place was super empty. Server was very friendly but very slow.

    Were it not for the drunk loud group seated across from us I would have rated the ambience much higher. I visited for Denver restaurant week. The food was absolutely wonderful! The service was not bad,but was not stellar. I would definitely eat here again off of the regular menu.

    The service was great and it was fun to see the reincarnation of Emily Griffith. But the food was, with one exception, meh. And the one exception--mussels--was affirmatively bad. And it was not cheap. Denver has tons of better restaurants in the same price point. We were really eager to try it, but will definitely not go again.

    Overall a bummer. The waitstaff were all very friendly and the food was okay, but overpriced. No music, only the sound of a vacuum running the whole time. Definitely will not be returning.

    Short staffed so the service was horrifyingly slow… what staff was there was trying however… in vain.

    There were very few people there but our food took 40 minutes. The cornbread was not fully cooked. They served soup bowls with half the soup. Half of our group got food later than others. Very disappointing experience. Which is strange. We ate there for lunch and it was excellent.

    This appears to be a new restaurant and was well appointed. The finishes and furniture were all new, modern and nicely done. The food was good and innovative. The service was excellent. A beautiful repurpose of a school. Finding the restaurant was a challenge since it is listed as being on Welton but you can’t enter off of Welton, you have to enter through a courtyard off of 13th.

    We were there for a birthday which we noted in the reservation and mentioned. Water on the table was dirty and when we asked for clean water we got no apology. Service was horrific took 15 minutes to get drinks food came out a all different times so we could not enjoy the meal together and the server was just going through the motions. I was told this was a fun cute little spot, apparently they have moved or changed a lot of things and it now feels like an airport lobby bar.

    Not much to say here. Made a reservation for a party of 12 for after the Great American Beer Fest. We were seated after a short wait and proceeded to wait 30 minutes without a server coming to wait on us despite the place being less then half full. We never even got water or a drink order taken while other tables around us were waited on. Finally we all just decided to walk out. Truly terrible service..

    Lovely place with an interesting story. We thought that we were going to have brunch, since we had a 1:15 reservation and brunch was listed on the website but without times for breakfast service. Ended up with lunch, which was pricey, but everything was delicious. Interesting drink menu. Very attentive service staff.

    Basically just a hotel lobby bar. Nothing special. Certainly not worthy of date night.

    They were out of multiple (5) food and drink items and then replaced a drink without telling us and charged us more for it. When we caught it, the waitress insisted that the price was the same, but we looked at the menu and the wine they charged us for was more than what we thought we got. Then another meal wasn’t out until everyone else had finished eating. We started dinner at 6 and didn’t leave until 8:10pm. The waitress took over ten minutes to swipe our cards. The service in general was eh. We only got a refresh on water after someone asked for it. Also, for someone’s meal, they messed it up and gave them the wrong dish and still charged us for that meal even though it wasn’t what she asked for. Overall, the experience here wasn’t worth the outrageous prices and the restaurant being out of so many things.

    We had a late lunch at the teachers lounge and the overall expert was great. The food was unique and tasty and reasonably priced for downtown. The service was friendly and attentive. The only suggestion I have is to improve the signage, we had trouble locating the restaurant and how to get in to it. Other than that it was a great experience! We will be back for sure.

    Adorable setting in an old school is the first treat, after you find the entrance tucked on the back if the building. Inventive and tasty cocktails and high quality food. It was a great place for a bunch of teachers to meet and converse while enjoying a great meal.
