    It was our anniversary, and they went above, and beyond as usual. The food was perfect, and the wine selection was excellent with the pairing of the meals. The server was superb, looking forward to coming again.

    Ambiance was beautiful and drinks were great. Sourdough rolls with salted butter, raw oysters, and oysters Rockefeller were all delicious. Largest portion size we received was a wedge salad (unnecessary but I see now why they do this - to make up for the abysmal portions to come). Octopus was so overcooked you could barely cut into jt (they did correct this for the table and the second round was fine). Main course is where the meal took a turn. Ordered the $150/1.5lb “Jumbo” Red King Crab legs and received maybe a pound of normal sized (def not jumbo) legs and knuckles/claw served with coleslaw. While they claim to weigh everything, I have had more (and better tasting) crab from literally anywhere else I have ordered it…anywhere….ever. It was laughable and $150!!! While the coleslaw was fine, it’s coleslaw…on a $150 meal. Our table also had the black cod which was about half the size advertised though they did correct this issue. Filet and scampi were both good. Dinner was $700+ and let me tell you, I would never spend this money there again. Service left much to be desired, portions were TINY, taste was nothing to write home about. Drinks were really good and those ROLLS! But not for $700! Bummer.

    First time at this restaurant in Denver; visiting the area for a meeting and happy we chose this restaurant. Very nice atmosphere, service was excellent; the food was delicious. I had a Japanese take on an Old Fashioned which was delicious; tried the tuna sushi; tried the oysters and the Chilean sea bass; amazing experience would highly recommend.

    Lovely place- great server. Food overpriced - looks good on the menu but missing something in delivery… too much butter, too spicy, overcooked… just missed the mark -
