Church and Union Denver

Visited here last night, which happened to be Valentine’s Day weekend. We had reservations for 8:30PM and weren’t seated until almost an hour after. While we waited, we ordered a drink from the bar…the first red flag was that they were out of the Valentines “featured” cocktails which ironically were the ones we wanted. They featured a V-Day menu, where you would choose one first course, one entree and one dessert. Our waitress kept coming to inform us that they were out of the “popular” entrees. Which was frustrating being as though we got there hours before closing and they were already running out. My partner had the lamb and I was stuck getting the chicken, even though I really wanted the steak which they were out of. The portion difference between my partners plate and mine was definitely noticeable. He had two very small chops and whereas my plate was filled. There were only 2 dessert options and even after putting in our order for dessert, the waitress comes back yet again to tell us they are out of one of the desserts, leaving us no variety. She told us that an hour after us putting our order In. The food was just ok, definitely not a place I would recommend or return to. We only ate about 30% of the food as it just wasn’t that good. I The atmosphere is cozy, they decorated really nice for love day. I like that they have different levels. The dessert was left after just one bite as it was just not good at all. The bill was $260 for 2 people, I would expect much better food and just an overall experience for that price. The service was good..it just seemed like they had high expectations but just fell short of. Won’t be returning or giving a word of mouth about.

Love the vibe of this place. great espresso martini. We hosted an after work event here and everything was great - had a whole little corner of the restaurant. The chicken sliders were good but my favorite was the ricotta crostini’s with hot honey. Definitely a must get. Wasn’t a fan of the bacon/melon bite. Will come back here for dinner with friends for sure!

A group of us went here for brunch. The restaurant is in a great area! The quotes on the wall are from a book they have customers sign. So much fun. Staff were very nice and friendly. We all had different dishes and all of them were delicious. We were there for about 2 hours laughing and having fun, not once did we feel they wanted to turn the table and needed us to leave. They had a mimosa mini bar with 4 mini mimosa’s that was really nice. I would definitely recommend. The food came out in good time and we did not have to wait long. If you want to hang out downtown and grab some food or drinks this is a good place to go.

We visited the Christmas room they currently have. It’s very well decorated & the service was awesome. Kelsey(?) was great! It is a very cozy atmosphere, I wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like tight places as it’s in the basement of the building. A couple of things I would say that weren’t 4/5 star is there is a 15% service fee on the checks. I’m confused as to what exactly that is for. Gratuity, house charge, idk. Makes figuring out tipping very confusing! Also, yes, the prices are steep. Many of the cocktails were coming in a champagne glass which didn’t hold much & they were pricey. For dinner I got the braided ravioli. It was very aesthetically pleasing. But, I felt like I was eating pierogis, not ravioli. It tasted good & I certainly don’t dislike pierogis. But, I don’t feel like I had ravioli. It’s a solid 3 star experience overall, & I give the staff 5 stars. I wouldn’t tell anyone not to go. We had a good time.
