Ad Hominem - Denver

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night, which was a bit unexpected. After reading some negative reviews, I was concerned about the service, but our waiter was actually very good. Although his appearance could have been better, he was friendly and attentive. Our food and drinks were served promptly, but I found the prices to be a bit high for the quality. The portions were small for the price, and they were out of three menu items. The flavors were decent but nothing exceptional. I hope the restaurant can attract more customers by improving their menu or prices. The ambiance could also be cozier, perhaps with candlelight instead of overhead lighting.

Some of the best food in Denver. Always great flavors, interesting textures, and wonderful service. Absolutely going to be going there again and again.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. When I first visited shortly after it opened, there were some issues like runny dessert custard and items being out of stock. I returned recently, several months later, and encountered similar problems. They were out of two of the wine selections we wanted and also didn't have the listed Frenet on the dessert drinks menu. Perhaps they need a new bar manager. The dessert this time, a donut hole, was undercooked and had to be returned. The food itself is quite good, but there seems to be a lack of cohesion that hinders the overall dining experience.

They did not have enough menus. Only about half full and we had to wait for menus (food, wine, and cocktail menus) to become available. They were out of a lot of the wine. We waited another 20 minutes just to order food. It took forever and we were starving at that point. And the item I decided on is actually not being prepared as of yet because the menu was new and items are not yet available. Would have been nice to know as I waited 20 minutes. Why issue a menu without being prepared to offer those items. Two of us had a drink and an entree. Our reservations were for 6:45 and we left at 8:25. Way too long for each step in the process. Would not recommend and we would not go back.

We were the first guests to arrive for the evening, but were disappointed to find out that one of the dishes on the menu was already sold out. The service started off slow and only got slower as more people filled up the restaurant. It wasn't until we were about to order dessert that we found out that only ice cream was available as the souffles didn't turn out. However, the items that were available on the menu were delicious.
