    My wife and I went to narrative to celebrate our anniversary. It was an excellent experience. We were seated quickly and were give 2 complimentary glasses of champagne when they heard it was our anniversary, The specialty cocktail list was full of interesting choices and the one I chose was really good. Our waiter Ken was appropriately attentive and gave us suggestions which influenced our main course. My wife's sea bass and my braised short ribs were prepared perfectly. The restaurant is open and well lit. There is a large wall with wallpaper that has white books on it. It's really beautiful and we couldn't tell if it was real books or not until we got closer. The noise level was moderate so it was easy to have a conversation. Everything about our experience there was top notch. I can't recommend narrative. any more highly.

    This is a hip and classy place with a very open feel and contemporary design. I was with a group of 4 women. We shared 3 appetizers, 1 hand held and 1 plate. Each dish was wonderfully prepared and presented. the artichoke fritters were a special surprise as their flavor hit way above their ordinary looks. You must try the lobster corn dogs! the Chilean Sea Bass was so delicate, flavorful and cooked perfectly. They have some delicious cocktails as well. Service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend this place. I am looking for a reason to go back.

    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.

    Thank you for your feedback Judy. We are sorry to hear that you are not a fan of our most recent seasonal update, and we apologize that our valet parking policy has changed. We hope you will give us another opportunity to take care of you in the future.
