Service and food were excellent. Also good with allergies (gluten). Beautiful presentation of food. The only challenge is that when full, it’s noisy.

The food is always good at the kitchen but some of "plates" are quite small. I left hungry. The noise level is enhanced by elevator music which they should do away with.

Went Sunday before Bronco game, and they have brunch menu, which is fine. They have 5 sandwiches on the menu, - so I order one and waitress comes back and says they are out of that sandwich (having only 5 on menu rather incredulous that they are out of one) - so I ordered hamburger with swiss cheese and onion, along with normal items. Swiss cheese was minimal and no onions - for a place that calls itself the kitchen that prepares fresh items, all of this was rather poor form

This place is beautiful on the inside- it’s decorated so well and when we went it was decorated for Christmas so it was very charming. It’s a very large restaurant as well so you don’t feel cramped. We went here for brunch on a Saturday. Our waiter was very nice but he seemed overly busy- it took a very long time to get our food and when it finally came it wasn’t very warm so it had probably been sitting there for a while. I ordered the quiche at the waiter’s suggestion which was delicious but the portion was extremely small- I was hungry afterwards and I am a very petite person. My sister ordered the huevos which she said was very good- her portion was slightly larger but again- she’s a small person so a larger adult would most likely not find it to be sufficient. We ordered donuts afterwards because we were still hungry. They were amazing! I will give this place one more try because the food was very good- but I hope they increase their portion sizes and hopefully the food will come out in a more timely fashion.
