    This was supposed to be a birthday celebration. No mention ever of Happy Birthday. We had a reservation and they tried to sit us at a terrible table. It took 20 minutes to get our first drink. The server took too long telling us about the menu and then, rather than putting our drink orders in, she went to two other tables to tell them the whole menu. They did not give us the hummus that we overheard "We give this to everyone while they are waiting." The coctail was too sweet and very weak. We were not given the correct silverware for our appetizer. The steak was a huge disappointment (most of it is currently in my fridge and will probably go uneaten). My medium was overcooked and the medium-rare-plus was rare. The cut of meat was very chewy. The appetizers were good - carrots and broccolini. The $80 bottle of vouvray we ordered for the speecial occasion came out warm - room temp. And again I had to wait for the server while she helped another customer. It was very sweet and was served in the wrong glass. Even the ice bucket she left had nearly no ice and so I drank the wine warm. And then the cackling young women came in and were SO LOUD! Screaming. Literally screaming. And they continued to be served alcohol. They should have been cut off. The desert was a disgusting mix of overly sweet pudding, a large hunk of toffee that was too hard to eat and some marshmallow cream on top. Two spoons, no plate, no napkin, it got all over the table. I complained a little bit at the start but I didn't want to ruin my husband's night so I just kept quiet and went home hungry and disappointed in my $80 favorite wine. I would not eat there again. Very disappointed. Oh, by the way, our bill was $400 for two people. Ridiculous.

    What a great new restaurant! The main dining room was warm and the tables weren't crowded together like you find in some Denver restaurants.The artwork gives it a funky vibe, with the entire text of "The Art of War" being hand written on the walls and ceiling. The menu was diverse but very well thought out, not too exotic. The braided ravioli was outstanding (I got it with the sausage), and my partner loved his lamb burger. The special appetizer slider was very tasty as well. Drinks were good and not too expensive. Overall 5 stars! We'll be back for brunch.

    Ryan did a great job taking care of us for a friends birthday party! From the start he gave us an entire run down of the restaurant, the menu, and the best ways to order. We decided on family style so we could try a bit of everything (it is hard to choose) and we were all satisfied (and very full)! Will be back again for sure!

    Date night started with dinner on New Year’s Eve…. Had an excellent time. The NYE pre fixe menu was amazing. Everything plated was well thought out, balanced flavors, and great presentation. This was our second time visiting and we will definitely be back.

    The food was delicious, my steak was cooked to order. All the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The value of the prefix menu in my opinion was over priced… but maybe because it was new years. I was still hungry after eating their one appetizer, one entree, and one desert. The portion size was not enough for me (I weigh 120 pounds).

    Great bar and space…mediocre at best food. $25 burger…they should make their own fries rather than buying from the same frozen supplier as Carl’s Jr.

    Great space, great food and great service. Went for the weekend brunch with friends and had a wonderful experience. The brioche french toast was divine. Will definitely be back.
