I always enjoy Sam Fox restaurants. There just seems to be a solid backbone of culture in the company, The service is always great - shout out to Aton at Culinary Dropout last night. The food and menu options are always spot on - there is a good selection of mocktails for the alcohol aware. The ambiance, decor, and entertainment options are usually good as well. I've been for live musicians and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up, Culinary Dropout Denver!
