The food and drinks were Fantastic! David gave us a wonderful wine recommendation and Nate was on point with serving and food recommendations. My only complaint is that the music was too loud. Wasn’t expecting a club vibe. We were there on a Friday night, so it may have been different during the week.

Excellent service and a unique experience and elevated dining relative to most of the Denver food scene. It comes at a high price that many will raise their eyebrows at. However a great option for a special occasion, date, or group outing. Will go again.
