We got the roasted carrots with whipped ricotta, grilled cheese, pear crisp, and chocolate bread pudding with eggnog ice cream. I LOVED the first three. The bread pudding was good but I’ve had better (wasn’t a fan of their eggnog ice cream). It was a super busy day with large groups but our server Steven was absolutely wonderful. Be sure to check when they offer their brunch menu vs. lunch! I wanted to try the beet shepherd’s pie on the lunch menu but went during brunch lol

Had the Lamb Cavateli and Pumpkin Spice Creme Brûlée. Both were delicious! I was so glad they had a half portion of the Cavatelli as that was a big enough portion for me. Perfect little splurge after walking through the museum.

Broad, creative menu; the best grilled cheese I’ve had in Denver (served with guanciale slices on top of the sandwich); delicious tarragon ice cream to top off a great lunch in a lovely space.

For a brunch almost no breakfast options. Food we received was very small portion and 1 step above Dennys. Price was way out of line for the Food we received no toast no side option. Just one egg on top of precooked cheep cornbeef cubes. If they have great dinner ill never know. Shoot yourself in the foot with the "brunch"
