Went here 2x when in Denver this fall. For a tavern, the food was extra good. For lunch, the Caesar salad was among the best I've ever had, and the shrimp salad sandwich with tarragon was excellent. For dinner, for vegetarians they had a tofu steak with potatoes and vegetables that was also top notch. Drinks were good too. Service was attentive and friendly without being bothersome. And its location in the spectacular Brown Palace hotel can't be beat.

Went for a birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and overall ambiance. Delicious over fire cooking for pork chops and mussels in curry broth. The sourdough bread was special and the roasted mushrooms delish. Cocktails and wine by the glass were reasonably priced. Service was attentive and friendly. A great night overall.

I always enjoy Sam Fox restaurants. There just seems to be a solid backbone of culture in the company, The service is always great - shout out to Aton at Culinary Dropout last night. The food and menu options are always spot on - there is a good selection of mocktails for the alcohol aware. The ambiance, decor, and entertainment options are usually good as well. I've been for live musicians and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up, Culinary Dropout Denver!

I particularly enjoy dining in the bar at Capital Grille where the atmosphere is more casual and the vibe is very friendly and laid back, but still with the great food and awesome service.

The service and food was really good! There was someone who walked around videoing the restaurant and people eating no less than 4 times while we were there. It was very off putting and honestly why??
