   We came here for bunch. The food was beyond amazing. Every bite was better than before. They are newly opened for bunch. I think this was only their 4th weekend of serving brunch. The owner came over and had a nice conversation with us. He even let us take a mini bottle of his homemade hot sauce. We ordered the basic breakfast, waffle, and donut of the day.

   Food options were interesting and what we ended up choosing was very good. Waitress was excellent with lots of advice on what would work best for our dietary needs and provided great discussions about dishes we were considering. Service was outstanding. Definitely will return.

   This was spur of the moment on a Sunday, and so they only had a brunch menu that was very basic—eggs, sausage, waffles, avocado toast. It was pleasant though and it wasn’t crowded or loud which was nice. I was a little disappointed with the offerings, but they were well presented and prepared. They did slightly overcook our extra order of poached eggs otherwise, all good. Our waitress was nice. She was new and was learning, but tried to field our questions, and she didn’t remove our plates until we both had finished. (A pet peeve of mine.) I would return for dinner next time to get a different experience and food. We thought the prices for the breakfast menu were rather steep considering that most of the dishes were egg based and pretty standard fare. (Yes, I’m aware of the egg shortage) but it seemed a little over the top. I would still return, for a different experience and meal.

   My wife and I were looking for brunch and found this place via OpenTable. The food was really good. My wife had the quiche and I had the fried cheese omelet. Both were excellent and my Bloody Mary was delicious. Service was attentive and cordial. All good. My only reservation, however, was with the fact that they add an automatic 6% Service Fee to "keep the best kitchen staff possible" (or words to that effect). I don't know if this is a vestige from the COVID years or a new trend, but I, for one, don't like it (and the note to let them know if I want them to remove the charge doesn't help). The food should be priced so that it includes what is necessary to run a restaurant properly. My two cents.

   One of the better meals I've had in the past year. Get the chicken or the sparerib. And don't miss the tallow candle.

    If you are looking for a wonderful dining experience and exceptional cuisine and service, Chef Amos and his lovely Wife have got it going on!! Thoughtful, interesting, and well executed dishes prepared and delivered by an extremely well trained staff. Fun and beautiful ambience as well as a interesting cocktail and mocktail list. Well curated wine list is more than adequate. Can’t wait to go again.

    Fifth string is hands down the best restaurant in Denver. The dining experience is exceptional and the food is world class. Everything on the menu, and I mean everything, is thoughtful and delicious. From the tallow candle and house made bread to the Saganaki cheese lit on fire at the table that pairs perfectly with the house made preserves. The menu might seem too small but it all becomes clear once your entrees are delivered. Everything about these dishes just work. Honestly, restaurants like these make life so special and my partner and I are so grateful to have one so close to our home. ALSO new addition from this weekend - the espresso martini with tequila (on their cocktail menu) is the best thing I have ever had?! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Wish they had a more variety of main entrees. Back staff took better care of us then server. Back service was outstanding; always had clean plates, water service, food brought out. Server was very scarce; would have had second drink but took server too long to come back to check on us, we decided to not have drink skip dessert and go somewhere else for a drink

    Hands down THE BEST meal and experience we have had - ever - in Denver! Natalie was our server and she was attentive, made incredible recommendations, made us feel truly welcome. The food was ridiculously good! We had the cultured butter and bread, sweet and sour mushrooms, my husband had the 1/2 chicken and says it is the best dish he has ever eaten; I had the delicate squash - trike decadent! The cocktails were inspiring, interesting, unique, and all around amazing! Dessert. Get dessert. You will be blown away! Amos creates pure magic! Made a reservation for our next date night - as we were still in the middle of this meal! We cannot wait to go back!!

    We can’t thank Natalie enough for the exceptional service. She was an excellent server and she’s a sommelier! She gave so much information when we had questions on food, cocktails, wine pairings, etc. Her pairing of wine for our dinner was great and she gave us complimentary champagne toasts for my birthday guest. The wagyu carpaccio was delicious and a rather good portion. We also enjoyed the filet and presentation. Hamachi was a small portion but food is honestly still great, and for it being farm to table, the prices reflect it but the food is well thought out and desserts were delicious! I would come back here and request Natalie again. Thank you so much for making the evening so special, the restaurant is lucky to have you.

    We live in Denver seasonally, but as we live only a few blocks from The Fifth String we always find ourselves here. It used to be a relatively expensive restaurant with food that was reliably very good and sometimes excellent. Well, the food is still very good but the price point has moved from expensive to abusive. The drinks are almost laughably miniscule. Appetizers average around $22. The chicken entree is $49. That's right, chicken. And a piece of beef will set you back anywhere from $64 to $139. And, call me old fashioned, but if I am paying over $100 per person for dinner I would like to see the hostess and the wait staff dressed somewhat better than the staff in a local beer joint. Perhaps we should not have been too surprised the restaurant was only 30-40% full on a Saturday night at 8:00 pm. By 9 pm the place was dead and the kitchen staff were cleaning up.

    Must have the tallow bread service! The hamachi crudo was exceptional. Chose the salmon for entree, and though delicious, was so over-garnished with tempura as to detract from the lovely piece of fish.

    Amazing service and meal. Arrived half an hour early and we sat at the bar. Asked about espresso martinis and got recommended one with tequila and some other modified components, was the best martini I've ever had in my life. Got our table a little early and got the half seafood tower with the tallow candle bread. Haven't felt that alive since my last near death experience. Next, that wagyu filet comes out perfectly timed with Saganaki and my gf and I didn't speak for a good five minutes because we were just making gutteral noises every time we took a bite. I'm sure it was not helping the guests experience around us. Then that sneaky sob of a server drops the dessert list in front of my girlfriend and the butter cake was ordered. I could have just eaten the palisade peach jam and lemon curd and considered it a complete dish, but then ohhh, what's that? The most perfectly moist cake, with ice cream? Like just get me a body bag at this point. Besides Chef Watts trying to throw his elbows into me every time I walked by the table he knew guests at, it was a great dinner. The guy just has those marbled slabs for arms and I didn't wanna involuntary return the meal if he popped me in the gut. Guess that added to the experience though, and I have no complaints.

    Menus was very limited and unimpressive. That had a nice steak option but we were not interested in steak. 14$ for bread service was ridiculous . Servers were too attentive even though it was a very busy nigh for them. Ambiance was ok. Noise level above average. I understand inflation for dining out but this was a big disappointment on every level.

    We arrived for our reservation very early (30 minutes), coming directly from another occasion. There were a number of open tables but they directed us to the bar. The cocktails were wonderful & we enjoyed the wagyu bread flight while waiting. The bar area was absolutely freezing! It was a chilly night but the restaurant is just not laid out in a way to keep the bar warm. They led us to our table at EXACTLY the time of our reservation, despite the fact that same table had been available the entire time. Waitress was fantastic, and the food delicious. Unfortunately, I got quite ill later that night (& I don’t have any sensitivities to foods); my husband did not have the same problem. Very mixed feelings about this restaurant.
