    The atmosphere and service were as expected for a nice restaurant in Denver. Everyone in the party found the food a disappointment given the prices. Entree choices were limited. One member in our party had a lot of inedible griddle and bone in the chicken dish. The French fries were excellent but even so, we probably won’t go back.

    Quite disappointed. Used to be great. No longer great, ok now. Menu has no logic. Chicken was dry breast, marrow bone was half cold and ruined in a mexican taco style serving. Cocktail was quite weak. Used to be a strong feature. Burrata was great. So one positive thing. Not awful overall, but not how it was up to a couple years ago. Different chef maybe. Now I gave to find another place. Oh well.
