   Me and two friends were really excited to try this place. We went during restaurant week. They ran out of bread and I asked if they would substitute for another app. They said no, because it’s complementary. Our dessert was suppose to be chocolate cake. It took about 20 minutes before the dessert was brought to us after they cleared our plates and boxed the leftovers and only then were we told they were out of the chocolate cake. They gave us whatever the powdered dessert was. Instead of asking us what our preference would be. It was way too sweet and I didn’t like it. Just overall experience wasn’t great.

   Terrible value. Restaurant aims to be an upscale/ fine dining establishment with Miami vibes but falls flat. Tables are so close together to maximize the number of diners and you can hear everyone’s conversation. My biggest complaint is how awful the food is. Short rib was dry and burnt and probably a couple of days old. Cioppino was $60 for two shrimp, 2 clams, and one singular crab claw and had zero flavor. Cocktails were $22 each and were underwhelming and way too sweet. $300+ bill for two….there are much better options in Denver for this price point.

   Food and ambiance was good the service was slow and subpar. I paid 25.00 for a seven seas drink that didn’t have the bubble or the smoke for more than a few seconds.

   Unfortunately the quality of food wasn't good. In fact there were guests in our party that didn't like their meal and they weren't able to send it back and still had to pay for a meal they didn't like. They weren't able to split checks which was a huge inconvenience. The biggest disappointment was the food for the price. If their policy is to not send food back then they had better be damn sure the food is perfection.

   We had a reservation at 8pm and ended up waiting almost an hour to be seated at our table. It was Friday night and the place was packed. They need more staff for sure. Our kind and patient server did her best to try to make up for it. The food was very good.

   BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT RESERVATION SYSTEM. Our server Kenny was fantastic once we were seated. Food was good too. The problem is that this restaurant lists every time as available on Open Table only to find the restaurant vastly overbooked and wait times so long that even the hostess could not predict a seating time. This led to dozens of people milling around waiting for tables and an overwhelmed bar unable to seat people and long wait times for drinks. Don’t bother, the food is decent but not great and definitely not worth the chaotic wait

   Real problems with service and getting people seated, then getting simple things like bread to the table. Food was mediocre, which would be fine if prices weren’t absolutely insane! Like thirty dollar burger, forty dollar tequila, 12 dollar surcharge for a pat of butter on your sixty dollar strip steak insane. Thankfully our waitress Maria was super friendly and helpful, though completely overwhelmed. I left feeling completely taken advantage of and can’t imagine any scenario where I would ever go back to this restaurant again.

   Table was not ready for our reservation and we were put on a waitlist to be seated for about 30 minutes. Additionally, the kitchen was very slow and we had to wait almost 40 minutes from getting our appetizers until receiving our entrees.

    We had a great evening tonight with great food and great service. Kenny was a very attentive waiter with a great personality. The rest of the staff were very kind and attentive as well. The restaurant week menu was wonderful! Crab cakes were outstanding - highly recommend! We will be back!
