    Thank you so much, Kristen! We're so happy you enjoyed your experience, but we're sorry the service missed the mark. I'd love to hear a bit more so that we can improve. I'll share my email in a separate message and would love to hear any thoughts you're willing to share. We do hope the great service and vibe were enough to bring you back again and hopefully we can show an even better time. Thank you again for joining us and happy holidays! Lindsay

    Bar DoughResponded 2 days ago
    Hi Derek, We're very sorry you did not enjoy your visit with us, specifically the portion sizes. We do our best to offer the best ingredients at the right value, but we understand we're not perfect and sometimes miss the mark. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration as we continue to evolve. We really appreciate you joining us and hope perhaps you'll give us another shot in the future to see how we've grown. Warm regards and happy holidays, Lindsay

    Our server was fantastic, offering great recommendations on wine & food pairings. We shared many plates among five people & it all meshed nicely. Hoping to get back before the restaurant closes permanently in January.

    Thank you so much, Sam! We are so happy you had such a nice time here. While we would absolutely love to have you back before January, please know there's no rush as we are not closing permanently. We plan to stay in LoHi as long as we can! Thank you again for joining us and we hope to see you again soon and many more times after that! Happy holidays, Lindsay

    First time having their brunch. Extremely pleased with food choices and tastes. Friend said May have been most flavorful Benedict ever. On the list for a return brunch
    Bar DoughResponded on December 11, 2024
    Thank you so much, Mike! Our culinary team has been putting a lot of work into the brunch menu and we're so happy to hear it's paying off. I truly cannot wait to share this with them -- it's going to make their day! Thank you so much for sharing such lovely feedback and we hope to see you for brunch again soon! Have a great week, Lindsay

    Only docked the rating because the music was pretty loud and vulgar. Obviously cant please everyone, so thats just an opinion. Otherwise the food was really great, our waiter was so helpful with didtary needs and there was zero wait for our table! Will come again but maybe not with our parents/in laws haha
    Bar DoughResponded on December 3, 2024
    Hi Simmone, Thank you very much for joining us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We are very happy you enjoyed your overall experience, especially the food and service, but I certainly understand that the music choices aren't for everyone. We do keep it a bit more low key early in the evening and at weekend brunch, so perhaps you don't have to ditch the parents after all! Either way we really appreciate you joining us and we hope you join us again at any time of day that works for you! Have a great rest of your week, Lindsay

    We usually adore the food here. It has been, in a few words, pitch perfect. But not on this night. Far from it. Salty. Over cooked. Even a few tasteless dishes came to us, but nothing delicious. I hope this is the exception and not the rule for one of our family favorites.
    Bar DoughResponded on December 4, 2024
    Hi Mindy, Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. What you described is certainly the exception and not the rule. I'm so sorry this happened. I've share your feedback with our culinary team so we can learn from our mistakes and make sure this does not happen again. In the meantime, I'd like to offer you a gift card for a return visit as I'm certain we are capable of providing the same pitch perfect food you've rightfully come to expect from us! I will send you my email address in a private message. If you could please just provide me with your preferred email or phone number, I will send an e-card for you to use at your convenience. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and I look forward to hearing from you so we can make this right. Warm regards, Lindsay

    The service and ambience were amazing! We have appetizers, 4 pasta and the pork chop shared between 4 adults which worked out perfect. The food was excellent noting the Cavatelli (Ragu) I think is the best in the city. Thanks Bar Dough for a memorable experience.
    Bar DoughResponded on December 3, 2024
    Thank you so much, Eric! We are so happy you and your group had such a nice time here and we are so appreciative you took the time to leave such a glowing review. I cannot wait to share this with the rest of our team! Thank you for joining us and we hope you are able to join us again soon for another bowl of that delicious Cavatelli! Have a great week, Lindsay

    Thank you, Andie! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit, even with the loud music. We do try to keep that in check but it does admittedly get away from us sometimes! But we will continue to work on that and we hope you can join us again soon for an even better time! Have a great week. Cheers, Lindsay

    We were disappointed in the pizza. We had the Margarita Pizza and it was so soggy. There was 1 piece of cheese on it, heavy red sauce and it was so sloppy you could have rung the piece out as there was no structure to the crust. Disappointed.
    Bar DoughResponded on December 3, 2024
    Hi Patti, Thank you so much for joining us and for bringing this to our attention. What you describe is certainly not our standard and I'm very sorry we dropped the ball here. I'd love to invite you back in for a Margherita Pizza on us as I'm certain we are capable of so much better! I'll send you my email in a private message so you can let me know when you'd like to stop in for your complementary pizza. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and I look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Lindsay

    When I our check came the waitress came over and said so my date could hear we could only charge your card .75 cents. I obviously gave the wrong card but this decorum and unprofessional and something I wouldn’t see at Chili’s maybe the 1980s. This will stay with me and will share with corporate partners and a non location to visit for corporate outings in Denver. The money isn’t the issue it’s the decorum of professionalism.
    Bar DoughResponded on December 3, 2024
    Hi David, Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and I'm very sorry this soured an otherwise pleasant experience. We will certainly use this as a coaching opportunity for our team. We take great pride in learning from our mistakes, and I hope that you will consider joining us again in the future as I'm certain we are capable of providing a more seamless experience. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I very much hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. Warm regards, Lindsay
