    Amazing from the second we walked in!! Granted, it was 11am for brunch but everything was WONDERFUL. Casual, relaxed, trendy…not over board. If the AARP set feel super comfortable, they’ve nailed it 😁 The Feta and Tahini appetizer… OMG! You have to get it. First time eating there, I’m in love.

    Delicious Christmas Eve dinner. Portions are big…we ordered way too much! The hand braided ravioli with sausage was our fav, but the seasonal lobster tortellini appetizer was a close second. Super cool vibe, great experience!

    Thank you so very much for offering these incredibly delish holiday meals - our family of 6 enjoyed every last bite of our tenderloin dinner! Ordering was easy, pick up incredibly warm and friendly, instructions were easy to follow, and it was topped off perfectly with a hand signed Christmas card <3. Between the savory complete meal, a charcuterie board and those insanely yummy chocolate chip cookies we were all so pleased, and if we celebrate another Christmas in Denver, this will forever be our go to! Thank you so much for making this Christmas an easy one for me and my family- it truly means a lot! After this we are all looking forward to dine in one of these days soon! Thank you, and Happy New Year to you all!
