    We have dined at Narrative the last two years on the way to Breckenridge and always enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the menu has changed and valet parking is no longer validated. Next year we will look for a new spot for lunch.

    Narrative has become one of our favorite holiday or special date night spots. My wife loves their burrata with grilled sourdough toast points, apple chutney and arugula. This time the lobster corn dogs caught my eye and did not disappoint, my wife thought they were going to be spicy with the jalapeno hot sauce and smoked pepper hot, but they brought just that kiss of heat without being overpowering. The entrees this time were the brick chicken the roasted porchetta which were amazing. In other recent visits we have also had the diver scallops and short ribs which were also delicious... All in all a great staff and experience at Narrative and we will be back many times to come!

    Salmon was not very good. Fishy taste. Otherwise, the meal was fine and service was excellent.

    We had a business breakfast for two at the Narrative in the Jacquard Hotel (Denver). The food, decor and service were above our expectations.

    The food here is just not good. I had tough, bland, stale, sea bass I didn’t even finish. The highlight was one of the cocktails, it was rum, poblano, pineapple, and coconut and was delicious. We left and all agreed the food was a let down, the wall paper that looks like real books from afar fell flat, just not amazing. We won’t be back.

    We are so sorry to hear that your visit did not meet expectation. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to our culinary team regarding your seabass. We are always striving to improve the experience we provide, and we appreciate your review to illuminate critical areas of opportunity. We hope to have the opportunity to take care of you again in the future.

    My husband and I dined here on a bit of a whim over the holiday season and we're blown away. Thanks narrative. for such a spectacular meal! And a small shoutout to the Cookies & Cream dessert. Not enough places appreciate basics. It's amazing how good the chocolate cookies and vanilla bean ice cream were. Hope to have them again soon!
