    It was delightful. They celebrated my birthday without anyone asking through my Open Table registration.

    Quite disappointed. Used to be great. No longer great, ok now. Menu has no logic. Chicken was dry breast, marrow bone was half cold and ruined in a mexican taco style serving. Cocktail was quite weak. Used to be a strong feature. Burrata was great. So one positive thing. Not awful overall, but not how it was up to a couple years ago. Different chef maybe. Now I gave to find another place. Oh well.

    Our server, Michael was excellent and helped us with our food selections-all of which were great! The biggest standout was the crispy cauliflower dish-such great flavors! We also had the Parker rolls, Shrimp Plancha, Lamb in pita, roasted carrots with whipped feta, and ended sharing the crème brûlée, all of which were delicious. This was the best meal I have had in a long time!

    Service was very good. Food left something to be desired… soup came out cold (twice), the dishes we had were fine. I’ve dined here before many times and hope this is not the norm now. The atmosphere is lovely.

    I love The Kitchen's Denver venue in the historic Sugar Bldg. The Thanksgiving dinner was generous and almost as good as made at home. The 2-hour free parking is a bonus! Our party of 4 had a fantastic evening at The Kitchen.
