5-Stars go to Danny for going above and beyond and making our experience a great one. We were there to celebrate our second anniversary and while it may have started off a bit underwhelming in the beginning Danny stepped in and made it worthwhile. I ordered an old fashioned and when it got to the table I immediately realized that it was too sweet, I Danny understood and had it remade. I was slightly hesitant to speak up the second time and thought to just drink it but it was again too sweet. I explained to him that I prefer a traditional old fashioned and he got behind the bar and brought me exactly what I asked for. I ordered the Colorado lamb and explained that I understand it's most served on the rare side I prefer medium-well. My chops were served well, I showed them to Danny and he had it remade to perfection, he also brought me out a shrimp cocktail while I waited. I did not point out the undercooked noodles with the lobster mac because I was tired of sending items back to the kitchen. I understand mistakes happen but for the price there should be a quality control of some sort and for the cocktail mix up I can blame myself because I should have specified no aperol. But thank you again Danny for making our night special!

Great, consistent seafood and steak restaurant. Tuna nigiri buttery and fresh tasting. Snapper portion was large and tasted great. Dirty martinis were well balanced. Minor complaints on the Alaskan king crab dish— the included sides of potato and asparagus were small & the crab was in several smaller pieces and I would have preferred larger legs. Service was efficient and not overbearing. Location is good in Larimer Square.

astounding service and amazing food. I was worried because I was coming in alone to sit at the bar but the staff made me so comfortable. Specifically Derin behind the bar, she is thoughtful and welcoming. She is the definition of a fine dining level bartender! Some others that helped me were TJ, behind the bar, and Shannon the server. They have a killer team here. Clearly they know how to hire people here!

Loved everything about it! We went for our 10-year anniversary on New Year's Eve, and they were able to find us a cozy booth in the lounge and made it special. They even put rose petals on our table!! The young lady that served us was on point and very sweet. We had the ribeye, filet mignon, and the jalapeno potato au gratin for our side and it all was amazing!! Well worth the money to have such a good time and great food. A wonderful dinner to be remembered!
