Amanda was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. She made us feel truly taken care of and elevated the whole experience. The food was hands down some of the best I’ve had in a long time, and the drinks were just as impressive—perfectly made and delicious. Everything about our visit was top-tier, and Amanda played a huge role in that. We can’t wait to come back!

Had the pleasure of stopping here last year during a food tour our last time in Denver, and had to come back during this visit back this year. Food and drinks were exactly as we remembered and we already can’t wait to come back again! The small upcharge for fry bread on their tacos is always worth it! We sat on the patio and the people watching with the incredible food and drinks made for really nice brunch! Love this place!!
