A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.

Ryan did a great job taking care of us for a friends birthday party! From the start he gave us an entire run down of the restaurant, the menu, and the best ways to order. We decided on family style so we could try a bit of everything (it is hard to choose) and we were all satisfied (and very full)! Will be back again for sure!

Such a fun new spot in town! Amazing food, drinks, vibe and service. Only complaint is for the prices the portions are a little small, especially for a restaurant that encourages family style shareable entrees. Nonetheless, would definitely recommend checking out.

Such a great restaurant with amazing flavor combinations! The steaks are so delicious and the sauces are great. The cabbage was my favorite vegetable tonight because they burst with flavor. This is one of our go to restaurants in Lodo. Definitely worth the visit. Our server Joseph was super attentive and helpful with menu suggestions…say yes to the espresso martini shots for dessert!

This might just be my favorite restaurant in Denver. The basement is one of the coolest spots we have ever dined—such a cool vibe. The pasta is out of this world, the wine selection is fantastic, and the service is top notch. Can’t say enough good things!
