We had an excellent meal. The restaurant was completely packed for a holiday/Avs game weekend. But once we were seated, we didn’t even notice. The service was top notch, the food came out in a very reasonable time. The food was perfect. Everything we expected a top tier steak house to offer. It’s our favorite. The waiters are amazing.

The food and drinks were Fantastic! David gave us a wonderful wine recommendation and Nate was on point with serving and food recommendations. My only complaint is that the music was too loud. Wasn’t expecting a club vibe. We were there on a Friday night, so it may have been different during the week.

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.
