Narrative offers a pleasant dining experience overall. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was attentive and friendly, which we really appreciated. The food, however, was fairly plain and nothing particularly memorable. While everything was prepared well, there wasn’t anything that truly stood out. Overall, a decent place for the atmosphere and service.

Narrative, located inside The Jacquard Hotel in Cherry Creek, delivers an excellent dining experience with a fall menu that is both creative and accessible. The shrimp cocktail, tartare trio, and smashed burger were all highlights, but the cookies and cream dessert was truly memorable, perfectly baked and incredibly satisfying. The tomato tartare was another surprising standout. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere feels refined yet comfortable. Whether you are celebrating something special or simply looking for a great dinner in Cherry Creek, Narrative is a fantastic choice.

Narrative is tucked away in the Cherry Hills shopping district. The food was fantastic and flavorful, cool vibe and our server, Camryn was an absolute delight! Our favorites were the shrimp cocktail with verde sauce ( unique ), the baratta with pear chutney and arugula to start. The “pink pony club” cocktail was perfect. Then for dinner we each tried something different- Halibut, salmon, and short rib. All cooked perfectly how we ordered and so yummy! Our favorite dessert was the sticky toffee pudding! We definitely will go back!

Beautiful restaurant with exceptional service that matches the quality of food. Came here for lunch with my mother-in-law and she was super impressed. I had the bahn mi, which was served on a Dutch crunch hero with really flavorful pork and a bit of heat. The gals both had the squash soup which was not too sweet and looked really cool when pouring it onto that potato stamped out leaf. Took a few bites of the smash burger, which I could have devoured if I wasn't already so full. Definitely get the homemade milk bread (looks like Hawaiian rolls). Super fluffy and served with this creamy butter. Definitely coming again when I'm in the cherry creek neighborhood.
