American Elm

I lived in Denver for years and never knew about this little tucked away gem. A group of six of us sat comfortably near the bar, there was some noise but we were all still able to hold a good conversation. Nick, our server, was legit the sweetest!! We really enjoyed him, and would request him again next time. We ordered a variety of cocktails and mocktails, they were all very good (mocktails were a bit expensive for no alcohol, but I guess it's a Denver thing). We ordered deviled eggs and whipped ricotta apps, steak frites, French dip, bolognese, and the trout with a side of Brussels. The trout was a standout, but everyone enjoyed their food. I'd return again for two orders of the trout and to visit Nick 😃

Unpretentious, genuine and delicious. Creative American fare served by kind attentive staff that reminds us that having fun and enjoying being out doesn’t have to come at the cost of great service and outstanding food. See you soon.

As far as I’m concerned, one of the best restaurants in town. It was one of the first date nights we had after moving to Denver in 2021, and it’s a go-to when guests are visiting. Reliably great food and cocktails, interesting wine list (including some very nice by-the-glass options), the staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful…just so solid.

One of the best restaurants in Denver! Feels on par with Alma Fonda Fina and is definitely my favorite restaurant to take friends and family visiting in Denver. I’ve yet to have a bad dish or drink here. Also the greenhouses in winter are absolutely magical!
