    We went to Narrative for Denver Restaurant Week. The menu was fantastic and everyone was very happy with their choices. The food is always so spot on at Narrative and service was fantastic. Its also quiet enough where you can have a conversation! Highly Recommend!

    My girlfriend and I went to dinner for Restaurant Week and were very happy with the food and value. Our server, Ryan, was terrific, very friendly and took good care of us. The food was impressive; butternut squash soup, braised short ribs, and sticky toffee pudding were all delicious. We also splurged on the lobster corn dogs which really worked - can see why they've been a menu staple forever. The milk bread was ok, I'm not sure I'd get that again; we got 2 rolls for $8 and that was a special. Overall, great experience - only slight drawbacks were the restaurant is very loud and could possibly benefit from some sound proofing and the service was a bit slow. Understandable since it was Restaurant Week though.

    We went for restaurant week - the soup, salad and toffee pudding were really good. We both had salmon which was okay. The service was not so great which the staff seem to realize (multiple apologies).

    It is a bummer that there is no longer free parking . It is now $14 (plus gratuity). That definitely decreases its value.....

    We were seated and sat for 10+ minutes without any acknowledgment or water. After flagging the host down, a server came to take our order. We ordered 2 drinks, donuts for the table, avocado toast, and a chicken chopped salad. Waited 10-15 minutes for drinks, another 10-15 for the donuts, and another 10-15 for our mains, neither of which require much cooking. We were one of 3 tables in the whole restaurant and our meal took almost 2 hours. Food was pretty good, but it took forever even though the place was pretty empty and staff was just wandering around.

    Food took over an hour to come out , with two meals coming first and waited about 10 minutes for all the meals to be served. Overall service was super slow for a mostly empty dining room. Food was very good but could be hotter: soup was room temp. Overall - way over priced for the food and experience.

    The menu is varied and delicious. Our waitress, Erica, was charming, professional, and lovely. We ordered the Squash soup, and she split it into two bowls for us to share. We also wanted to try two different entrees, which we shared, and they split them both for us onto separate plates. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and was dellieious. The chicken was prepared two ways, and although it was a bit dry, the flavors were delicious The smashed small potatoes, artichokes and other legumes on the plate were delicious. Although we passed on desert, Erica brought us a London Fog. Hot tea specialty drink. You have to try it. All in, a great evening.
