The Kitchen American Bistro

We had a surprisingly good dinner last night with an amazingly kind and lovely server, Stephan. We had no trouble walking in and getting a table for two. We ordered the gem lettuce salad, crispy cauliflower, cabbage, and the pork chop with a glass of the Chilean cab franc and everything was delicious. The pork chop serving was too much for the two of us to finish but we wanted solid veggies and may have ordered too many appetizers before the entree. We split everything. We highly recommend if you are LoDo looking for a really lovely and definitely not snooty experience. Oh and the music wasn’t too loud making it possible for us to have a nice conversation.

Amazing topas style meal. Service was super quick and very knowledgeable. Perfect place for long or short meals. I loved the fish and fresh oysters. We also had the carrots, Kansas City, steak, stable fish, and chicken. For desert we had the delicious ice cream sandwich. Highly recommend for celebrations, business meetings or just a fun date.

We had our anniversary dinner here and it was divine. Personally loved the bone marrow, crispy cod, carrots, and mousse dome. Welp - that's everything we ordered. I'd say the mousse dome is my favorite (and I don't even eat desserts). Lovely experience overall and beautiful company.

Came here with my coworkers for business so I couldn't really take photos and really appreciate the food and which dishes we ordered but all I can remember was everything tasted fabulous! Got the chance to take photos of some of the dishes though and each of these was worth it, even the french fries. And our French server was really nice and I got to say the last 5 French words I still remember :) Worth the try and you won't be disappointed.

Everything was excellent! The food, the service, the atmosphere. I was pleased and satisfied with food, drinks and beautiful interior design of the place. Our server Michelle was just amazing! We definitely will come back. We stopped here for lunch. My husband had a burger and I had pasta. The glass of wine was very nice too. I believe it was Syrah from France. Beautiful interior and the bathroom was clean and fancy.

First trial reviews are always flawed. One try does not get a feel for the operation, it can reflect as much on the reviewer's performance as on the restaurant's. I think the food was very good, so I have boosted my overall rating to a 4, I found the service lacking and frankly the atmosphere was missing. I am not going to over emphasis that, and I thing part of that was time of day, but it was not good. More below. My better half raved about the Quiche and Salad. She ate it all, every bite of it. I had the Cubano and I enjoyed it. I will not say it was the best ever, but it was good. I would have it again, because I did enjoy it, it juat was not what I expected or have come to think of as a Cubano. The fries were hot and well salted. The service. Well we waited over 30 minutes for an order that was basically a sandwich and quiche. It was change over from lunch to whatever their mid day is. The explanation was that the order did not print correctly. Ok I get that, but it is the wait-staff's job to keep track of that. There was no atmosphere, the restaurant is lovely, in an old building, wood and exposed columns and trendy where and it all worked. But I suspect that the change over routine just killed any atmosphere there may have been. And a final gripe, the bill included a 2% "Surcharge". Seriously, you run a restaurant, what's a surcharge for? Did I chage you for having to wait 33 minutes for my order? It's bad enough that we have to ask our internet provider about their "surcharges" now I have to inquire regarding menu pricing policies.

I recently visited this excellent restaurant in downtown and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is incredibly pleasant, with top-notch decor and very good service. However, the highlight of the experience was undoubtedly the food. It took me a while to find a place in Denver with delicious, tender, and well-prepared meat, but this restaurant nailed it. The portions were generous, making it a great value for the price, especially by Denver standards. My wife and I ate well without spending a fortune, which is a rarity here. They also have a wide variety of drinks/cocktails, though we didn't try any this time since we were focused on savoring the food. The place is spacious and would be great for a birthday celebration or a gathering with friends. Considering the price, the amount of food, and the flavor, I would definitely return many times. Highly recommend this place!

The Kitchen does not offer a specialized cuisine but one that offers some tasty dishes that can be labeled as New American. The carrots with pistachio and feta is a clean way to start the meal, while the Gnocchetti is delightful. Order the strip steak with Chimichurri for a generous portion and make sure the hand-cut fries are ordered. The fries are perfectly done. The Pot Au Chocolat is exceptional, one of the best desserts in the area. When going to The Kitchen, expect shareable portions, a nice ambience, and some very good dishes.

Made a resy for a group dinner (13 people) for Tuesday at 6:30p while on a business trip. Wanted to get the party started a little earlier so we had a couple cocktails at the bar before getting seated at our square table in the slightly "upstairs" dining room. The restaurant was well lit, very upbeat and lively, and filled with happy restaurant go-ers. To start, we basically ordered every appetizer on the menu for the table to sample. Everything was SO good. Each item had creative and unique pairings that all jived really well. I especially enjoyed the roasted carrots. Not sure if it's a seasonal item? For my main entrée, I had the Rigatoni Bolognese which was hands down one of the best I've had. The rigatoni was cooked al dente (just how I love it), and the bolognese was flavorful and cooked to perfection. We had 2 servers tending to our table, both were helpful and efficient, especially given our large group of 13. Our table got pretty noisy (as the cocktails were flowing) but that didn't seem to be a problem for the restaurant as it's a happening place. All in all, fantastic experience - well done to The Kitchen!

My husband and I went for date night last week and everything was amazing. Our server Stephane was French and wonderful. Really great service, which is the reason this is one of my favorite places. We had: Carrots Crab fried rice Mussels Tiradito Bone marrow The carrots were top notch and an awesome combo of flavors I forgot to take photos but we had a great time

My favorite thing that I had was the lavender mocktail. Not only was it pretty to look at but it was actually quite tasty. It was essentially just like a lavender lemonade but unlike some places I've tried, you can actually taste the lavender fragrance which I personally love. We had a variety of items from the menu. I enjoyed the appetizers with the bread and the cheese and spread. The steak was also quite tasty. This is defiantly a higher end restaurant but the service is a good reflection of it. They're very attentive and your dishes do get changed very often.

The Food!!!! soooo good!! And the service by Stephane was fantastic!!! Highly highly recommend!! We shared several apps and a few entrees which was so fun to experience.

Easy lunch spot with great ambiance. The service was fast and friendly and we really enjoyed our meal. Food was good, but what was really memorable were the chocolate chip cookies!!

Pretty decent place, came here for lunch. They have outdoor and indoor dining options. Very modern and spacious inside. Service was friendly and attentive. As you come in you see Kimbal Musk's book, and it is his restaurant (brother of Elon Musk). I would say it is not amazing but pretty decent. We had tomato soup, baby lettuces salad, and halal chicken sandwich with fries. We also had two non alcoholic cocktails that were ok. Overall pretty decent but definitely overpriced for what it is.

Came here for dinner with about 13 other people. We had a prix fixed menu and it was served family style. Everything here was great- the service, the drinks, the food and the ambiance. The steak was very tender and the chimichurri gave it even better flavor - 9/10, the rigatoni with mushrooms and arugula was so flavorful and delicious -10/10, the whipped potatoes were fluffy and buttery - 9/10. The salmon was perfectly crispy and moist-10/10, The fries were ok, nothing special - 5/10 and the dessert was a perfect end to a delicious meal - 10/10. The restaurant was nicely maintained- the bathrooms very clean and the area we sat in was perfectly spacious for our big group.

I love The Kitchen. We used to have one in Fort Collins and I loved coming in for some french fries or a cocktail. We recently went and the summer menu is so fresh and colorful and fun! We started with the Lamb Arayas they were amazing the labneh was so bright and really balanced out the heavier flavors of the filling. Dill and lemon is one of my favorite flavor combos so I was thrilled with the generous amount of lemon zest and fresh pile of dill. The crispy cod was INSANE. Easily both of our favorite plates of the night - it's so crispy and the cod is perfectly flaky melt in your mouth underneath the crust. The chickpeas were also one of my favorites and i've been dying to work on recreating a similar version so I can experience this at home. The cilantro, mint and tzatziki were so playful and bright and the green harissa brought a well balanced heat to the plate. And last but not least we got the garlic fries because how could we not?! They never miss - they are thick cut yet crisp and garlicky. Service is always wonderful- we had a super friendly and helpful server and the ambiance is very pleasant.

Best meal I've had in Denver. Food was so delicious and consumed so quickly that there wasn't time for photos! Also, a vegetarian delight. Come with a group of 4 so that you can try and enjoy as many of the starters as possible. Or, consider ordering a meal of shareable / tapas style instead. We ordered the Buratta, Beets, Gnocchi, and for main I enjoyed the crispy Cauliflower. Incredible combination of flavors.

Came here for a company dinner and really enjoyed it. Highlights were the salmon, the Brussel sprouts and the carrots. Chicken was a bit dry for me. Chocolate torte was also on the drier side but was still good. Great interior and ambiance. You will see a lot of business people here for after work meals. Super random but their toilets are very low??!?

Where do I start? This place is such a cool spot. The service is amazing and friendly. From the donuts, to the fried chicken sandwich Ive ever had, it was all best of the best. The sandwich was crispy and flavorful and one of the best I've had. My friends all loved their food as well. The cocktails were also exquisite. Do yourself a favor and come here!

11 of us had dinner here in a recent Tuesday evening. I liked the concept of the menu - a lot of shareable items. Standouts were carrots (random I know but get them!), cauliflower, fries, burrata and pork chop. I love mussels but they intentionally do not serve with bread which was odd to me. Crab fried rice was also not our fav. It was a great restaurant, especially for a group. They had some really creative cocktails. Most of the menu items were a win for us!

The food here was incredible. The carrots appetizer is a must-order, and burgers were fantastic. The steak frites was a bit small for the price, and the chicken salad was delicious but is overwhelming with the Parmesan garnish (see photo). All in all, the food and drinks are good but for the price, service is very slow regardless time of day. We ordered drinks when we sat down, and didn't arrive until after ordering food and our appetizer had already arrived. The main courses took another 25+ min to arrive. Would likely return for a burger but may try sitting at the bar next time.

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this place looking for a spot to have dinner. I am glad we found it because this place hits the mark. Once you walk through the door, you are invited by this modern, cozy and welcoming ambiance. They have a wide selection of wines, beer, hard liquor and cocktails. Their menu is also extremely inclusive but also has unique items, that are meant to be shared. We both were in the mood for steak and their strip steak absolutely melts in your mouth. The strip is paired with a chimichurri sauce which goes so well with it! Don't sleep on their hand-cut fries too; they were so crispy yet airy at the same time. My oh my is all I can say for this meal. I highly recommend!

I went with a large reserved party of 24 for a work dinner. The restaurant itself has a lot of space to accommodate large groups, and we did not feel cramped or overwhelmed with our two large tables. They had a large room with doors that can be used for a private event. We were seated on an upper area near the cook line. The service was outstanding. We received all of our drinks and food quickly. And were often checked on to make sure that we had everything we needed. As such a large group, we expected the food to be more spread out with delivery, however, they were able to plate everybody within a few minutes apart. The philosophy here is that sharing is caring. The menu starts with lighter/smaller items on top with more hearty meal options on the bottom. We shared a few from the top of the menu at each table and then ordered our own from the bottom. Had I gone with family or close friends, we might have shared entrees, but since this was a work even I did not. Now to the food, we enjoyed everything that we received! We ordered the carrots due to the other amazing reviews, and I can say that they did not disappoint. They were crispy and had a unique flavor to them, the whipped feta was the perfect pairing. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful. The fries that it sat upon were crispy and not too oily. Both items complimented each other well. Our server said the chicken is one of their most popular dishes, and I can see why. The Denver steak was delicious. It comes with some salsa on top to add some extra flavor to the meat and it was a great combo. It sits on top of a hominy and sweet potato mixture that was crispy and flavorful. This was a hearty serving. Overall this is a great spot for a large work dinner, or even an nice date night. Would definitely go back if I visit this area again.

Insane experience... the first thing to know about the Kitchen is they are deeply respectful of their farmers. You will often see photos of the farmers, their produce will be called out like you expect a wine vintner would about their grapes. While the food is unique, prepared to perfection, the service is also second to none. Don't miss the opportunity to dine here.

Absolutely the best place in Denver! Food and restaurant setting is an experience! All staff, from beginning to end were simply delightful, from the open kitchen, to our server who was quite knowledgeable with a wine pairing for our dinner!! A wonderful restaurant with great food and service!

Good food, good atmosphere and great service, however very expensive for dinner for the quantity offered. I recommended it for the location and if money is not an issue.

I have to up my review to 5 stars. I have been here at least 4 times now and I bring my clients for lunch meetings. I am excited to try other items on the menu. Very impressed :)

We came here for thanksgiving dinner as we are visiting Colorado for the holiday weekend. The layout of the restaurant is quite lovely and the lighting is dim and calming. We ordered their thanksgiving food menu and every bite was as delicious as the previous. They had an appetizer, a main, and then desert. The main included a handful of sides including Brussels sprouts and green beans. Everything was stacked high and delicious! Everything was a great experience overall however it started off a bit unexpected! We started out with salad and soup. However as I was eating the salad, I bit into a piece of ceramic in my salad; lucky I didn't swallow it. I gave it to one of the servers asking what the heck was this. She went to grab a manager and the Manager came by and said "it was a piece of a plate, and asked me if I wanted another salad or anything else". They took care of the whole night and the manager always kept an eye on us thru out the evening. Honestly one of the best customer service experiences at a restaurant we've ever been to. The whole evening was great this is a place you have to go to when you visit Denver!!! Service food and atmosphere what more could you ask for!

Ambiance is great, food was good for the most of us however the cod was SUPER dry and didn't eat much of it. Service was amazing! We had a food allergy at our table and they absolutely went above and beyond to assure food safety which was much appreciated! Our waitress was very attentive, insightful and helpful as well.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at The Kitchen at 16th Street Mall in Denver! The moment I walked in, I was blown away by the exceptional ambience and outstanding service. The staff's attention to detail and dedication to providing a fantastic dining experience was truly remarkable. As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled to find an array of truly gluten-free options on the menu. The staff's knowledge of celiac and gluten-free dining was impressive, and I felt completely at ease knowing that they understood the importance of cross-contamination and safe food preparation. It's clear that The Kitchen is committed to accommodating guests with dietary restrictions, and their expertise in this area is truly commendable. The ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. From the moment I sat down, I felt welcomed and well-cared for by the attentive and friendly staff. Having only been to The Kitchen's location in Boulder previously, my experience at the 16th Street Mall location in Denver exceeded my expectations. The exceptional service, commitment to providing truly gluten-free options, and the overall dining experience have made me a loyal fan. I will definitely be coming back to the Denver location, and I highly recommend The Kitchen to anyone in search of a top-notch dining experience. Thank you, The Kitchen, for consistently delivering an outstanding experience!

I've been to the Kitchen American Bistro in Boulder numerous times. The Denver location doesn't have the same small ambience as the Boulder location but the staff are equally as friendly and knowledgeable about their recommendations. The specialty drinks use very unique and used some pricey ingredients. I tried to recreate at home and failed...stick to the experts. The bartenders pay ton of attention to their cocktails (e.g., cover half the rim of the glass with black salt vs. full rim, fresh herbs, specialty glasses etc) so that each cocktail has its own unique experience. The service team was very friendly and made recommendations that were SPOT ON! I would have never picked those items without their recommendation and so glad we asked. I'm not a dessert person but the mouse was amazing. Save room if you can. Will make this place our special event place of the future.

Great food, attentive and friendly staff, welcoming even with a late arrival, comfortable setting. Really a great restaurant. We walked in with only 40 mins till they closed the doors. The staff was as friendly and accommodating as if we were the first patrons of the night. Stefan was our server, he was extremely helpful and polite. The Denver Steak was excellent. The Sweet Corn Bhel was wonderful. My wife liked the mussels so much I only got one. Servings were plentiful, but not oversized. Thank you all for an excellent experience.

Great food and service! Our server was excellent and had great recommendations! We ordered the burrata for the table and the lamb arayas which were awesome! I ordered the carbonara which tasted very different than any other carbonara I've had but it was good! My husband ordered the steak frites which he enjoyed! The open kitchen was beautiful and so was the decor inside! Would highly recommend!

The kitchen is an amazing spot for lunch with friends or a private dinner. I love that they have vegan options that are tasty enough to share with non-vegans. The cocktails are house made as is the food and you can tell the level of care and attention to detail that is put into every item. I had the crispy cauliflower as my entree and don't even get me started on the desserts! We had the House made cookie and the passion fruit cheesecake, I'm drooling just thinking about it.

4.5 stars. This is one of my partner's favorite restaurants, so naturally I went with one of my closest girlfriends without him, LOL. Granted, it was her birthday and also one of her favorite restaurants. Will now have to try the Chicago and Boulder locations because it was quite a charming experience. We came on a snowy Denver day, so the place was practically empty. Service was fantastic, and it was overall a memorable dinner party. I tried a number of different items, starting with the Sea Salt cocktail and one other I can't remember. Super flavorful and well-crafted. Also on the menu: * Crispy Artichokes - Exciting presentation. Served with black garlic aioli. * Tiradito - Always a fan of raw fish with ponzu and sesame oil. * Black Spaghetti - Not the biggest fan of the garlic bread crumbs, but it was a filling and beautifully-presented dish. * Chevré Cheesecake - Love the combination of fig, lemon, and pear. * Mousse Dome - What an fun-looking dessert with complex flavors. Overall it's clear that the kitchen (or "The Kitchen") puts a lot of thought into the design of their menu and each item on it. Would love to come back and try more of the cocktails (especially what's part of their happy hour) and take my partner. Great spot for group outings. Go for a walk around the neighborhood before or after in nicer Denver weather!

A modern rustic feel that is very welcoming. The service was top notch from start to finish. I had the crispy cod and it was ..... disappointing. It was a great presentation but overall very bland. The cheesecake dessert on the other hand was fabulous..... mouthwatering good. I would definitely go again and try another dish and it is certainly worthy of another visit based on the service alone. My waiter Stephan was excellent.... From France originally so no surprise

It is a fantastic place that invited us in on our after-dinner walk! The cocktails were fantastic, and so was our bartender. We opted for a late-night bite and left the choice for the bartender to surprise us. Wow, are we glad we left the choice up to her because the cabbage was fantastic, full of umami flavor.

I was craving steak tartare, and this place showed up. The atmosphere was quite classy and cozy. Our waitress was kind, but I wish the service was more attentive. We were only checked up on a few times throughout the night. The appetizers were my favorite part of the night! My fiancé says the steak tartare was the best he's had! I thought the Chicharrón what is a genius idea, and it was perfect with the steak tartare. I also had low expectations for the baby lettuce, but it was extremely fresh testing and delicious. The entrées were a hit or miss. My fiancé's chicken was so tender and flavorful, it was a good choice. Meanwhile, my ranch steak was pretty tough to eat, and it just made the whole experience not as joyful because I kept spitting out the gristle. I'd love to come back to try more appetizers and their drinks.

Our first stop on our food and booze tour, and it set the bar high! An excellent and funny bar and waitstaff which made us feel at home immediately. What sets spots like these apart is the range from taking a nice date here to taking your picky parents while first visiting the city.

Just go. The Kitchen American Bistro has a unique menu when you look at it, but whatever you end up getting you will not be disappointed. Each dish we tried we could taste that they use top notch ingredients and prepare specifically. I tried two bests at the kitchen. The first was their GNOCCHETTI. Wow. The pesto sauce and whole dish just leaves you wanting more. You must get this dish because you won't find anything like it elsewhere. The second best was their CAST IRON ROASTED CHICKEN. The chicken was so tender but with a crispy skin top. I'm not sure how they get it like this but they have perfected it. We enjoyed the atmosphere and our server, Tom. He was very knowledgeable and helped navigate us with the choices.

Great vibes, decor, and service. Most of all, great food. We came for brunch and it did not disappoint. Their twice baked croissant was interesting, perfectly sweet, and big enough to share with two people. I got their "carbonara" and it was simple but delicious and perfectly portioned. The pasta was pretty al dente (which is exactly how I like it). We also got their steak and eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly (we ordered medium rare and got exactly that). Their home fried potatoes were also delicious... They tasted deep fried and had a garlicky taste to them haha.

First of all, we commented how lovely and charming this place looked inside. We were very excited to give it a try to complete a girls morning out yesterday. It wasn't terribly busy but we did have about a 10 min wait. The waiting didn't stop there.... Seated at our table and no drink orders for 15 or so minutes. The drinks arrived about 20 minutes later. We wait again and we're asking for service. About 90 minutes in the food came out. Cuban was on a soft roll, it wasn't bad just unexpected. Another ordered the Benedict and the eggs were over cooked. That anticipated runny egg that one loves, not there. They were overall unapologetic and we will not dine here again.

Had reservations for a party of five on a monday evening. The restaurant was overcrowded and very hot. We were seated at the appropriate time, but it took a very long time to get service. This menu is somewhat eclectic and caters to a unique audience. The dishes that were prepared for our table were all quite tasty. We did not have drinks. Nor did we have appetizers or dessert. And it took close to two hours to complete our meal.

Food was amazing and the service was great. I randomly popped in and ended up ordering two entrees.

Might be the best quiche I've ever had: Mushroom and leek, crispy crust with a large portion of greens on the side. I enjoyed the Sauvignon blanc too even if it was French.

The Kitchen is a easily one of my favorite restaurants downtown Denver. It's centrally located and offers great food. I've never ordered anything I didn't like however the fish tacos for lunch are my go-tos. I also love their hand cut fries. For brunch, we always start with the Smoked Salmon Rillette. The only downside is sometimes the service isn't great. I've had some really long waits where it feels like the server left.

My first trip to Denver, visiting my son and he had been here once before. I called a few hours ahead of time to reserve a table, which we could reserve only at the bar. Upon arrival, we lucked out with getting a table for 2. Our waiter Stephan was prompt and very welcoming. After reviewing the wine list we kept it simple with getting a bottle of red from Spain. Apps we decided on were the focaccia with burrata and the carrots with a whipped feta. Both were above average with superb seasonings. For entrees, I ordered the crispy cauliflower with chick peas and my son had the steak with street corn. I enjoyed every bite of mine and my sons steak was cooked perfectly with a perfectly cooked street corn loaded with flavors! If I had room, I would have ordered dessert. I would highly recommend dining here, you won't be disappointed!

Grant was the best part of the night. I had a wonderful dinner at the bar... Food was delicious and drinks were on point but having Grant take care of everything was amazing!! Thank you I'll be back

Thoroughly ordinary. Nice high ceilings, for good airflow. Drinks are above average (Afternoon Tea: peppermint vodka, italicus, galliano, lemon, agave, basil; Second Guess: Rye, lillet, pear, chartruse). Pleasant staff. Food was a bit of a bummer: mediocre beef, overcooked cauliflower, undercooked potatoes, boring sweets.

The interior & decor of this restaurant really sets the mood. But the menu didn't. For the size of the restaurant. The menu was really limited in options. And the food was mid. The portion size was okay for the price. I guess its more of comfort food style.

Very friendly staff and the food was great. But mostly impressed by the excellent service! It does get a little loud in here but nothing too much either

The Kitchen is as exquisite as always. :) We ate here last month but it was my third time eating here and everything was excellent. It was still holiday decoration season so that added a nice touch, but really the ambiance of this place is always an interesting mix of cozy and classy. I tried two types of white wines and both were delicious. The salmon was great, the burrata appetizer was my fave, and dessert was yummy too. Service is really good here as well, everyone is so friendly and they come by the table just the right amount like it's timed. Kimberly was wonderful. Will be back again I'm sure!

3.5 stars. What happened?! Kitchen used to be the gem of LODO for upscale dining. It had impeccable standards and incredible consistency, and a clientele that appreciates and expects the same. Now it's a magnet for flip flopped, backwards-ball-cap-wearing hipsters that wouldn't know foie gras from frog legs. Let's start with the menu itself, which is merely line after line of food words. Diners have no way to discern what is an appetizer, a shareable plate, a side, or an entree. Just a list of items with no context. There's an arrogance and smugness about a management team that would put a menu like this in front of guests. They think they're being cutting edge, but it's really a disservice. I was excited to try the burrata as an appetizer. The cheese itself was very good, but it was served with bread that was grilled about an hour ago. Cold and soft but with some grill marks. No excuse for sending out beautiful burrata with old bread. The cast iron roasted chicken was a huge disappointment. At almost $30, I expected a bone-in airline chicken breast or something. Nope. Just a dried out, overcooked breast with skin so tough and hard it needed steak knife to cut through. The "hand cut" fries that accompanied were equally dismal--poorly fried, pale, and sopping with grease. Looking at the plate you wouldn't be able to distinguish it from something you'd get at Applebee's. It's at this point I knew I had to cut my losses and move on. On a high note, I can say the bartending staff is rocking fantastic cocktails. The Roku Manhattan is a winner. The servers and front of house were excellent. My server Juliana and manager Chapin took all my feedback in stride and seemed genuinely interested in understanding their opportunities for improvement and ensuring I left with positive vibes. My gut tells me something has fundamentally changed at the core and it has manifested itself in poor quality, inconsistency, and a complete disregard for what made them great. Beyond the name, The Kitchen is unrecognizable to me anymore. Original review: 2017 Stunning atmosphere. Wide open space. Tons of outdoor seating. Fantastic bottled cocktails made in house featured daily. So many awesome things on the menu. Salads, shellfish, beef, pasta, chicken, fresh fish. Started with mussels. Extremely fresh and plump. Steamed in a white wine garlic cream broth. Nice crusty bread to sop it all up. Halibut. I was worried the thick filet would dry out and toughen. Not so. Wonderful crust on outside and flaky tender throughout. Paired with earthy root vegetables and a light consume. Told myself I wouldn't have dessert unless they had affogato on the menu. Wouldn't you know it, they did. Rich house made gelato topped with espresso. Staff is warm and welcoming. You can tell they have been trained to be mindful of the little details that often get overlooked. They aren't just running a restaurant, they're providing a customer experience. Definitely top on my list of places to return if I make it back to Denver.

Had a great evening at the Kitchen. Service was amazing, the food was great as well, not to mention the great cocktails. We had a show to get to and the team got us done at exactly the time we asked. Actually, 1 minute early! I'd highly recommend The Kitchen.

10/10 absolutely fantastic restaurant in Denver CO. One of the best Denver has to offer. Food is superb, beef, tartare, and broccolini was out of this world, cast-iron chicken was really good, love the sauce, and the fry pairing. Kentucky Steak was delicious, as was the spinach just needed a touch of salt & wish it had been a touch warmer. But I understand steak is hard to keep hot when it's medium rare. Service was really good. Ambiance is beautiful! Loveddd the interior design. The restaurant is huge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I was very curious to try this famous-by-proxy place. The overall ambiance is pretty chill, the food was good, and wine menu was interesting- service was presumptuous as famous places usually are. I'll explain: they have 2 ways of serving, a la carte where you choose or you tell the waiter/waitress what you like and they "surprise" you. We went for option one and our waitress was pretty upset about it... mmm bad sign. The food was overall good but not memorable. Wines were pretty good and the desserts were delicious. Not sure I'd come back. The hype was 100% bigger than the experience.

This place was nice, cute little american food concept with a touch of Mediterranean. Loved the food and the service was outstanding!! Definitely recommend for brunch!
