    This restaurant exceeded all my expectations We were there moms with young children (probably a restaurant worst nightmare to see coming) and they were incredibly accommodating, kind, helpful, all with a good sense of humor. The food was outstanding, beautiful presented and delicious. Highly recommend 100%

    We loved you guys! Julianna and the team had such a blast treating you moms to a wonderful night out. Thank you for being so sweet. Can't wait to see you and the babies again!

    My boyfriend and I came for brunch to get together with some friends. Let me first start off by saying our waitress was SO kind. The staff right from the start really made us feel welcome. Next, the atmosphere. I used to work off of 16th and know how some of the downtown areas can be noisy or problematic with traffic. This was such a quaint area off of 16th, we sat outside and I hardly noticed any of the cars or people walking by. The food was tasty - we all opted for the basic breakfast (I forgot the name of it but it was eggs bacon potatoes and toast, essentially) and it was wonderful! Our waitress was outstanding and made us want to come back.

    The Kitchen American Bistro | LoDoResponded on September 9, 2020

    Hello! This is such a joy to read and certainly brightens our day (no matter how snowy). Julianna was your server and we echo your sentiments. She's an absolute sweetheart and a blast to have on our team. I shared this with her, and she was overjoyed. We're so grateful for this lovely feedback and can't wait to host you again.

    The food was amazing. I really don't know what else to say. The place is worth the money. I also LOVED their craft cocktails. I don't like sweet cocktails and even the fruitier ones which I usually loathe were just right--just enough sweet to make the drink amazing. I cannot say enough great things about the staff. Our server was amazing and helpful as were the other servers that stopped by or brought our food out. The restaurant has the servers all sample the goods they know what they're talking about. The manager also stopped by multiple times to check on us and give us recommendations. The entire staff was just awesome. Our server started by asking if there were any food allergies. My girlfriend is celiac (legitimately, not a fad thing) and the chef made sure that if there was a substitution that it was every bit as delicious as what she could not have. Too often I feel like she gets the "short end of the menu" (for lack of better words). They went out of their way to make sure her experience was every bit as amazing as anyone else's and they did not fail. The other thing that makes this place amazing, IMO... they kept paying their staff during the pandemic shutdown when most other establishments furloughed and laid people off. Just another reason to give them my business...

    The Kitchen American Bistro | LoDoResponded on August 10, 2020

    Ah! I'm at a loss for words. This is so overwhelmingly kind. We had so much fun re-opening this restaurant and getting back to what we love. And it's been made all that much better to be received so warmly by our guests. Thank you thank you! I'll be sure to share this with our teams!

    Enjoyed a great meal on the patio. Started out with oysters that didn’t disappoint. The entrees were also delicious! Rack of lamb, baked chicken and shrimp with squid ink pasta. Topped it all off with vanilla ice cream and a strawberry cheesecake dessert. Yum! The service was excellent.

    The Kitchen is normally my go-to place to bring customers and out of town friends , but I was really disappointed this time. Food was OK - hummus was EXCELLENT as was a dessert but overall, really poor all around. New waiter who didn't order tonic with my gin, service was slow and the restaurant was practically empty. Maybe it was because it was Restaurant week, but I'll think twice before returning.

    Loved everything we had! The dishes are simple but present, showing that the chef understands how to to cook each item exactly so. Parsnips, bok choy, scallops ( and those grits!) Were incredible. ACTUALLY perfectly cooked. The swordfish was exceptional, but just a hair overdone. House made ketchup with French fries, and a perfectly balanced compote... Fantastic. 4 scallops, however was not enough, despite the presentation. I'd have much prefer they up to 6 scallops for $35
