   Thank you for letting us dine at the Tavern. We had a lovely weekend. We had asked for high tops or a bar seat, but were given a low top table. The space was a little dirty. A few kids apparently had sat there and the seat were dirty, crayons and food all on the floor. The tables need some table wedges to not be wobbly. Our drinks and food were good. No meat Friday, so fried shrimp and Hush Puppies were great, crab cakes had a good flavor. My salad did come out after the other food. But the Caesar dressing was very good.

   Staff was exceptional beginning to end. Anthony our server was attentive; recommended the fish and chips. Best I have ever had. My partner had the prime rib and it was superb. Great, fun experience on Thanksgiving. We will be back. 😊

   The food was OK, but the service was awful. Our waitress never checked in with us or very rarely

   The old menu was better and a go-to. This new menu incorporates a lot of seafood. That’s a risk in Colorado…one my husband likes to take. This time it didn’t pay off. The shrimp left him feeling ill all night.

   I have been coming to the Ships Tavern for business lunches for 20 years, and yesterday was the worst experience I have had in a very long time. My salad was wilted and tasted old. The clam chowder was warm at best. Then, when my business meeting was over, it took forever to get our check taken care of…

   Terrible experience. We were there for the annual champagne tower (which isn’t cheap) and made lunch reservations months in advance as well. We were about 15 minutes late because the champagne pour took longer than we expected. When we arrived the hostess was extremely rude and made a comment about us being late and almost canceling our reservation (eventhough I had messaged them letting them know). Certainly you’d think they would know what we were there for and it wasn’t our fault. Then our server was even worse. One of our five lunches came out 10+ minutes after everyone else’s, which wasn’t that big of a deal, but the server basically threw it down in front of my mother-in-law without saying a word. Not so much as an apology or anything. Same when we paid the bill (we had to wait forever and flag someone down to bring our check) and then the checks were basically tossed back at us in the same manner. For something we were anticipating for a long time and for the expense of the day, we were extremely disapointed.

   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.

   We took my 92-year-old Mum the night before she flew back to the UK after a visit here - and this place is ideal for a family gathering like this. Between the six of us, we ordered two burgers, one prime rib, and two fish and chips and the soup for Mum - all got great reviews. We also noted with delight that the fries that came with the fish and chips seemed to be cooked in different oil to the fries that were with the burger and appropriate as their respective accompaniment. Very attentive, friendly service. Great fun all round!

   Caesar salad had too much dressing. Lobster Mac &cheese was just OK. The lobster was good but the Mac & cheese had no taste.

    I don't know why this place has such good reviews. We ordered many things from the menu (goat cheese dip, lobster hush puppies, seafood pasta, salad, calamari and more) and all of it was dismal. No flavor or just bad. It was also extremely loud and difficult to have a conversation with someone sitting right next to you.
