So disappointing. I have eaten here over a dozen times. Always a great place to go before going over to the Denver Center of Performing Arts. This is my first time back post Pandemic. Problems here start at the top if you ask me. From the moment we arrived the staff seemed confused and everyone seemed to have "that's not my job" sensibility. We had a view of he kitchen and watched as a dish would be put up on the counter and 10 people would walk by without checking. 5 minutes later someone would finally notice, and there would be a frantic discussion trying to figure out where this goes. We ordered a charcuterie board and it was extremely disappointing. The speck was trimmed from a dried out end of the spec and should have been trimmed and thrown out. It was in edible. The cheese was old and crusty. Obviously these board were made up (days?) ahead of time and left sitting. Wife got a linguini which seems like the pasta had been cooked ahead of time and sat in a bin. Sauce was good but pasta was terrible. The sole highlight of the dinner was the shortrib burger was delicious and luckily large enough to share with my wife. So sad to see a formerly great place in this state of confusion.

Nice super friendly place. Staff is awesome (beware if a big Broadway show is in town you'll need reservations weeks in advance). Biggest drawback is menu choices. Only 5 or 6 ( must be from the Gordon Ramsey camp) the food is good. Drinks great. Staff wonderful. Customers friendly. Pre fixe choice DCPA

Went on the day they were having a Valentine's Courses meal and it was delicious. This was a Kobe Raised Steak on top of Goat Cheese Mashed potatoes with a side of grilled asparagus. Service was awesome as well as the other courses that came out. Bomb.

Great quiet breakfast for the family. Lattes were exceptional. Breakfast burritos are made with a great salsa that adds the perfect heat. Silver dollar pancakes are more than enough to feed a hungry kiddo.
