    Food was cooked to perfection-my mouth was exploding with flavors! Loved all our appetizers, especially the octopus and dumplings. We loved the filet steaks and tried the wagyu from Japan which was like “butter” and melt in our mouths! Fantastic service to top it all off!

    This is our favorite “fancy” date night place, and so decided to spend our 20th anniversary celebrating here for dinner. Everything we tried was fantastic and the service was top level. We are so spoiled having this restaurant here in Denver!

    The service was truly outstanding. The staff was friendly, approachable, and attentive without being intrusive. I felt genuinely cared for during my visit. They are reputed for their steaks, and it certainly lived up to the hype; the steak was fantastic. However, the rest of the menu was rather lackluster. The much-lauded chocolate chip cookies didn’t impress me at all and wouldn’t even make my top 100—I've had better at home. The music was reminiscent of a top hits playlist, too loud and somewhat irritating. It’s unfortunate because the decor is quite lovely. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I don’t feel compelled to return.

    Incredible! I feel like it was my first time having steak. We got the filet flight and the Alaskan cod. Steven R was our server at the Chef’s Counter. He may very well be the best server in all of Colorado. I can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Far exceeded expectations!

    A fabulous experience in every way! My husband and I (big foodies) went the night after Christmas for dinner with my in-laws and the food and service were excellent. We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna, french onion soup and two salads to start which were all delicious. Same for our entrees: the black cod, 16oz ribeye, pork chop and 4 oz sirloin with the truffle gnocchi, brussel sprouts and carrots on the side. Our server and the chef were very accommodating to my MIL's strict restrictions / modifications. If you can request a server, ask for Jonathan. Since pre-covid, service at restaurants has been fairly disappointing, but not here. Jonathan was by far the best server we've had anywhere in a very long time. Looking forward to returning on our next trip to see our parents.

    Recommend dining in the bar/lounge for a less formal vibe. Skip the Brussels sprouts, which were wilty, not crispy. Wagyu tomahawk and fries were very good. Our server could have been more helpful and passionate with the steak menu; possibly she is pescatarian and not into steak. Generally staff were very efficient, friendly and courteous.
