Bang Up To The Elephant

We went here for Denver restaurant week. Love the ambiance and the mission of the resturant and how they are sustainable. The appetizer mofongo bechamel was delicious, it was the perfect dish flavor wise and texture wise. The skewers were spicy and accompanied by acidic and cooling elements that were very much needed. Overall the dish was fantastic. The ice cream at the end of the meal had weird ice crystals and I did not like the texture of the ice cream. Overall the food was good, the service was great, and the drinks were food. Fun date night glad we discovered this resturant through Denver Restaurant Week.

When I heard “vegan Caribbean,” I’ll admit I expected the restaurant to be Black owned. As an African American visiting Denver, I was really hoping to support a Black owned business if I could find one, so this threw me off a bit at first. That said, I still gave it a try. The portion sizes were impressive, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. My partner actually enjoyed their meal quite a bit. I personally wasn’t too crazy about the food overall, though I wish I could remember the specific dishes I ordered so I could give a more detailed breakdown of the pros and cons. The space itself is large and lively, great for accommodating big parties. I was staying on Market Street, and the walk over wasn’t bad at all, so it’s convenient on a nice day if you’re nearby.

Delicious food and drinks! We loved everything we ate and drank. The doubles were definitely the highlight- we want to eat those every day! The service was great and it’s such a cool open atmosphere. Definitely will be back! Their happy hour is also such a great deal!

Absolutely the BEST restaurant I've found in YEARS! And although I'm not vegan this did not hinder loving the restaurant's all vegan menu! Truly amazing flavors, unique dishes, and it made us return twice in a 4 day trip to Denver! I can't recommend it enough! Staff is wonderful and the owner Kevin, is incredibly kind and friendly! I recommend this restaurant 1000000%!
