    Ribeye
    Melanie T.

    We had an amazing meal at AJAX. We shared the focaccia as an appetizer and then shared the dry aged ribeye and Brussels as our main. The steak was delicious (and covered in a chimichurri)! Biggest complaint was the table was a two top and felt a little too big / not cozy enough for the two of us.

    Grilled Shrimp
    Trami T.

    The portions here are huge for breakfast. Through my Chase benefits for staying at the hotel, we receive breakfast daily during our stay and a $100 credit at Ajax. So, we tried most of the breakfast items, and our favorites are the duck hash and the duck for dinner. The truffle fries are good too! The steak tartare was really salty to me but my partner enjoyed it. The grilled shrimp was okay. I don't recommend the iced latte. I don't think it was an espresso over ice when they gave it to me. It was more like iced coffee and they gave me milk(?) on the side. I'm not too sure but it's not what I expected it to be. The service was great, and everyone was kind and friendly. They removed an alcoholic beverage from our check when the fire alarm went off since we had to vacate the building for a couple of minutes during dinner.

    AJAX WAGYU DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER
    Bethany C.

    The foods good. Nothing super amazing. The onions and peanut sauce on the leeks was so good. The leeks themselves were a bit tough and not exactly easy to chew through. The inner leeks were far more palatable. The burger was the star! I literally cannot say enough about it. I added bacon and got the truffle fries, so incredible! Service was great our waitress was excellent. She even suggested the burger. She was around almost every time we needed something. Lighting is low and noise was kind of loud so fair warning there. I'd definitely come back!

    Happy Hour

    Our hotel gave us two $10 off coupons for this restaurant. Our waiter said we could use both in one sitting. We were here for happy hour and we got the Ajax Wagyu double cheeseburger ($18) with truffle fries($9) and the Coal oven baked sourdough. ($12). Everything was so tasty and delicious. Our fries were not very hot so I asked if they could heat them up. They did and we ended up eating them all!

    Great location add on the limelight hotel. Amazing cocktails and solid food. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay and or place for cocktails and or dinner. Great place!

    All American* and Latte
    Gabriella F.

    Enjoyed breakfast here around 8:30am on a Wednesday morning after staying the night at Limelight. I got a latte and the "All American." Everything was quick and service was excellent. If I wasn't dilly dallying, I could have easily been in and out of there in 15-20 minutes! Great breakfast.

    I came here for brunch with a few friends. We had reservations, but had to wait a bit to be seated. I enjoyed my meal and the service was good.

    Open kitchen - very cool
    Betty G.

    Despite the food and drinks being overly expensive, the service and ambiance were amazing! I also felt that the food menu was somewhat limited... however they did have a bazillion drink options!

    I was sad to see Citizen Rail go but wowza! The food here is fantastic. The Sea Scallop Udon was... I don't know how to say this without saound weird but... it was a revelation and had me wondering how I could do something similar at home (not sure it's possible!) We will be back again and again!

    One of my new favs! Loved the ambiance of this restaurant. Open kitchen and meat storage area is near tables which is cool. I absolutely loved the seasonal appetizers and desserts! Can't wait to go back for another visit.

    Roasted sea bass on a bed of diced olives with a fennel puree in front. Yum!!

    Ajax Downtown is now the restaurant in the Limelight Hotel. The restaurant opened in early August of 2024, after a renovation of the former Citizen Rail. We were fans of the former restaurant and are excited about this new venue! The restaurant serves modern American cuisine for breakfast lunch and dinner. Jamie and I dined on their opening night. We were very pleased with the drinks and entrées we ordered! Jamie got the boxcar cold brew and tonic, and I got the garden gimlet. Both drinks were tasty and, spirit free. For dinner, we had the roasted beef entrée and the Seabass. Both were excellent, and indicative of the quality of the restaurant's executive chef Becker. Our servers were very friendly, particularly on their opening night. The ambience is subtle and enjoyable, with booth seating, which we really enjoy. Table seating is also available. Across the way from the restaurant is the bar in the corner, which was a happening place. After dining, we reviewed the breakfast menu, which is similar to the menu that the venue had before it was reset as Ajax downtown. We will definitely be back for breakfast! Check out Ajax downtown. It's highly recommended!

    Ajax is connected to the hotel Limelight, where we stayed, which made it easy to get to. We ate in the bar and the food was absolutely delicious! I shared a Wagyu Cheeseburger and Coal Oven Baked Sourdough with burrata on top. The service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and gladly answered any questions we had about food. They also made great recommendations on what to do in Denver and how to get around. The bar area was lovely, modern and clean.

    Duck Hash and Dutch Baby Pancake
    Erika T.

    We arrived at 7:15 AM on a Friday and there were already a few people seated. Despite the place being mostly empty, we were still seated at the smallest table against the wall with no view. A single patron came in later and was given a 4 top by the window. Our server took a minute to come greet us. I asked about the lattes - no flavoring, just espresso and milk. Opted for black coffee and it was solid. I told the server we were ready to order and he said he'd be back. It would've been nice to have him just take the order as we were pretty hungry. Service was as expected for prepared to order food and arrived nice and hot. The duck hash had a nice balance of flavors and textures. The Dutch baby was pretty small and I'll probably need to grab second breakfast in a couple hours. Overall, the menu is creative and the food is delicious. I'd like to see a larger Dutch baby for a 5 star rating.

I don't throw around the word "franchise" lightly. But I walked out of Mango Mango Dessert on Colorado Blvd genuinely researching whether I could open one in centennial or south area. That should tell you everything. The crepe cake is what got me. Thin crepe after thin crepe, stacked with cream, and somehow light enough that you don't feel like a monster for finishing it. We also grabbed some to bring home... which lasted about 20 minutes if I'm being honest. Perfect end of night dessert. Here is the thing though... this place doesn't feel like it was built for an American audience. It feels like someone picked it up directly from Asia and just set it down on Colorado Blvd, completely intact. The flavors, the presentation, the whole experience... it's the real deal. Not a watered down approximation of what Americans think Asian dessert tastes like. The actual thing. Now the lines. They are long. At all hours. And the answer is yes... people just love it this much. A line that long is usually trying to tell you something. Go. Just bring a bag if patience.

The Eggs Benedict on a croissant stood out, and you can tell they take their baking seriously. Their "Queens" (their version of a kouign-amann) are especially worth trying. They also use high quality, locally sourced ingredients, and it shows in the flavor. Go for the cake, but definitely stay for more.

But fast forward to 2026 and the era of tariffs and inflations, a $10 drink is the norm. And I'm glad I decided to give MTP another try. First time was good but didn't stand out. This time around, I left impressed. We were in Downtown to see Hell's Kitchen and I decided to bring my partner here since he's never been. This time, I ordered the ube jasmine sweet cream drink because it didn't look too powdery and artificial (the light purple color spoke to me). We also ordered the black sesame drink and both drinks were quite delicious and definitely worth the drive for the drinks (or at least the 14 min walk from the entertainment venues to here for a pick me up before the shows). They're not too sweet and I'm glad that they don't overload the drink with ice because I've been to some places where you get 90% ice. It's a modern milk tea shoppe but it's currently located in a plaza with plenty of outdoor seating and it's enclosed so you don't see the loudness of the city.

They were extremely busy on a Sunday evening especially since it was the Dodgers vs Rockies game. It took awhile but service was amazing. Staff brought out our drinks. The store is definitely very aesthetic but there are no tables inside. Outdoor bench seating only.

I tried the hot and read buffalo chicken sandwich, and the pork green chile. I thought both were good. Definitely more emphasis on the bread in these than you would get somewhere else, but that is to be expected with it being a pie shop. I liked the pork a little bit more. They were more filling than I expected but also I didn't think about how much bread there was until after. Also got the key lime pie for dessert later in the day which I loved. Good amount of whipped cream, and had great flavor. Not too crumbly on the crust either. And finally I did get the take and bake chicken pot pie. Which I thought was excellent. Fair value for the size, I think. The large got me 3 meals but probably could have stretched it to 4. But it was so good that I just kept eating more. Had good amounts of chicken in it and good ratio with the veggies. I would definitely return here. Would definitely get the pot pies and key lime pie again. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but if I was in the area and needing something quick and easy to eat, I would get 1 of the hot and ready sandwiches too - I thought they were fairly priced too.
