    Love this room but they have to do something about the lighting! Very easy solution... the lights are WAY too bright and a cold fluorescent tone. Turn off all the spots up hight and let those barrel shade pendants do the job. Nothing worse than eating a nice dinner with light blaring down on your head! I am a designer, so I do know what I am speaking of. People want Ambience, not operating room lighting. Service was mostly good, kind of ignored us at the end... Food was a 4 rating... Lighting needs to change. Trust me....It would feel and appear so much prettier in there!

    Mariah made our experience so special; I mentioned my girlfriends birthday in the reservation and the gentleman host wished her a happy birthday, and Mariah offered us two glasses of celebratory Prosecco upon seating, and a birthday dessert plate to finish off the meal. The manager also stopped by to say happy birthday. Service was attentive, prompt, thoughtful, and flawless; Mariah was fantastic. Thanks for a great evening!

    We went there for my birthday and it was Restaurant week. We had the most amazing dinner!! We started with lobster corn dogs, which was amazing and I could of had five more of those. We also started with drinks I had the golden retriever boyfriend and my husband had the Broken Tricycle. Those were so good I could have kept going with those. Our next course was the salad and soup. I had the soup and it was probably the best butternut squash soup I have ever had. The main course I had the salmon with a delicious cauliflower puree that I could eat every day. The broccoli was amazing. My husband had the braised pork ribs that just fell apart when you cut into them. His meal was just as good. For dessert he had the Sticky Toffee pudding and I had the blueberry cheesecake. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing. The cheesecake was good and would have been better without the carmel sauce. I will definitely come back here amazing food and drinks. The service was good and the owner came over and gave us a cordial of Madera from 1968. It was amazing as well.

    Celebrating a birthday and the bday girl walked away smiling and saying what an amazing experience she had. Service was fantastic and made up for the small challenges we had during the entree and dessert portion of the evening.

    We went during Restaurants Week for our first time at narrative. The winter squash soup was very tasty. The King Salmon was bland, appeared to have no seasonings but was edible. The “sticky toffee pudding” was out of this worlds delicious!!

    We were promptly seated and then greeted by our server. Food came out very quickly and was delicious. We were there early 5:45 and it was very calm and quiet. As the evening went on, business picked up (to be expected) but the noise level never became intolerable. The wait staff were all pleasant and very responsive. Such a value to eat there during Denver Restaurant Week. Glad we tried something new and different!

    We went to Narrative for Denver Restaurant Week. The menu was fantastic and everyone was very happy with their choices. The food is always so spot on at Narrative and service was fantastic. Its also quiet enough where you can have a conversation! Highly Recommend!
