    My daughter I were visiting from out of town for some college visits and wanted a brunch/lunch spot that was fun and had great food. The OG hit the spot. We got a reservation the night before for the peak brunch window on a Saturday without any trouble. The setting is awesome - vibrant and busy but roomy and not feeling crowded at all. The menu is a mind-boggling selection of delicious options that should suit anyone's pallet. Service (Jeremy) was excellent - he was obviously super busy but was friendly, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Everything exceeded our expectations. We live on the West Coast - but next time we get back to Denver will definitely be back!

    Initial Reservations at a different location were cancelled unexpectedly, so we had to scramble at the last minute and were fortunate enough to find an opening here. We had dined here previously and knew we couldn’t go wrong. Both visits yielded outstanding service and delicious food in a very cool environment. The location and layout are prime for weekend brunch. We like to try new locations when we are in town, but we are going to make this a regular stop during future visits. The bacon was cooked to perfection. And, our server, Jeremy was extremely polite and professional. His charismatic demeanor and outgoing attitude put everything over the top. Couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Can’t wait to come here again.

    The food is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend a reservation. They were having the pajama brunch and it was packed but since we weren't there for that we got a quiet table in the back with huge windows. Lots of fun, will definitely be back.
    The Original- DenverResponded on February 5, 2025
    Hey Julie! Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so happy you loved the food and that we could find you the perfect cozy spot to enjoy brunch. Our Pajama Brunch is always a blast (first Saturday of every month!), but we love that you got to experience a more relaxed vibe with those big-window views. Can’t wait to have you back for more delicious bites—whether it’s a lively themed brunch or a chill weekend treat! See you soon! – The OG Team
