    My daughter I were visiting from out of town for some college visits and wanted a brunch/lunch spot that was fun and had great food. The OG hit the spot. We got a reservation the night before for the peak brunch window on a Saturday without any trouble. The setting is awesome - vibrant and busy but roomy and not feeling crowded at all. The menu is a mind-boggling selection of delicious options that should suit anyone's pallet. Service (Jeremy) was excellent - he was obviously super busy but was friendly, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Everything exceeded our expectations. We live on the West Coast - but next time we get back to Denver will definitely be back!
