   This is a gem of a restaurant. A refreshing, unique menu, with fabulous service and the quality of the food, with all requests being met was superlative. Go to see the new refurbished Ponti Bldg or North Bldg, or Martin Bldg, all the same...it's the 7th story DAM bldg! So worth it!

   Over all, it was a great experience. The staff was fantastic and the food very good. There were 5 in my group and all agreed there could have been more food for the price. I had the chicken, which was very tasty, but the meal included veggies, which was barely the equivalent of 1 whole Brussel sprout and and four small carrot slices, not exaggerating!

   Welcoming staff in a nice open airy room. The wait staff was very thoughtful and accommodating while we were there. The burger with sweet potato fries was delicious and elegantly served. We had great coffee and tea as well as almond cake for dessert. It was served with ice cream on a very flattering display. A great place to take a break from the beauty of the Denver Art Museum since each floor is outstanding in the new wing.

    Food food. Service questionable- considering this is a Jennifer restaurant- I would expect flawless table side service. Reaching across guests to service, not serving from left- nor clearing from right. No marking between courses and had to ask for utensils with dessert. Just a clunky experience. Food was amazing- restaurant is minimal but inviting. Kitchen noise (and subsequently subject matter and foul langue) audible from restrooms. Would be back for the unique and enjoyable menu. But nearly $200 for lunch (special occasion) with disjointed service doesn’t match the worthy price of the menu offerings. Yes

    Service was pleasant but very slow. Setting was attractive. Food was overpriced; the roast chicken was delicious but had virtually no vegetables alongside it, just a smear of what seemed to be mashed potatoes. The linguini dish was bland and oily.

    Not just the ambience, but the architecture of the place is pluperfect. Weird painting on the wall behind my dinner guest though. She concentrated on not looking at it while she ate. The menu options were modest, though carefully curated, thoughtfully prepared, and beautiful to look at. My ancient grain bowl w/seared salmon was scrumptious as were my other guest's meals. The NZ Sauv Blanc hit the spot. Finally, our waiter registered an air of efficient calm. There when you needed him, not hovering, knew his menu and had a sense of humor. Anybody care to join me for another visit?

    Pretty limited menu. Check out the menu before you go so you’re not surprised by several great sounding entrees have artificial meat substitutes. All in all, a step down from the old place.

    Food was quite good. I'm not fond of the layout, the side tables are close together and the overall feeling is cramped. But the quality of the food is high and that is the most important thing.

    One of our favorite lunch spots in Denver—we especially love the brussel sprout salad with salmon and the mezze plate. But the roasted half chicken, parsnip and smoked apple soup, roasted carrots, and blended burger are also fantastic—the sweet potato fries that accompany the burger are cooked perfectly! For dessert the coconut sticky rice is lovely, not too sweet, with pops of tropical flavor with the little mango bites. To top it off, the service is friendly and knowledgeable. Next time we’re in Denver we’ll be sure to stop in again!

    The blended beef mushroom burger was fantastic! Our waiter told us about why it was created by the James Beard Group - to be a more sustainable food choice. Very quiet music in the background. Nice lighting - a perfect spot to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary!
