We had a wonderful time. The ambiance was lovely & elegant. Our server, Julio, was so kind & warm. He was attentive & made the whole experience so much more special. The menu was short, but everything we tried was delicious. The serving sizes were perfect. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for an intimate dinner date or special occasion.

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.
