Very good! Service and food was awesome. Only suggestion I would make is serving the creme Brule very warm instead of cold, more golden/crispy on top and without the strawberry compote on top.

This was my first time at Travenetta, and I can't say enough positive things about our fabulous experience last night! If you read nothing else, just book the reservation! The experience starts with being greeted by a welcoming smile and seeing the restaurant for the first time. The seating is perfect; we could watch all the goings-on in downtown Denver. Our waiter (Freddy!) was the best! His recommendations were spot on. This is an understatement; the food is fantastic. So many tastes that were unexpected, new, and delicious! It was the perfect way to celebrate my son's 22nd birthday. Thank you for the great experience! We will be back!!
