We enjoyed the Tarantula,…read moreManhattan Transfer, Fresh Avocado, Corpse Reviver, Crisis of Chocolate, and Freaki Tiki were all fantastic - creative, balanced, and genuinely memorable cocktails instead of just novelty drinks. What really stood out though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of, without ever feeling overbearing. It somehow felt like they were hosting us personally, which made the experience even better. We didn't eat this time, but after how much we enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere, we'll absolutely be back for dinner. NOTE-the doorbell you look for to know you are at the right spot is very small. I almost missed it.

Its very novel and I enjoyed that a lot. Menu is fine but I wasnt wowed like Ive been at other Denver cocktail bars.

And the ambiance and service both make this worth a visit.

Narrative is a solid, if not overly inspiring, place to eat. The menu is more wide-ranging than you…read morewould expect, given the decor, it swings from burgers to proper mains and pasta at dinner. Several of the items are genuinely good. The wine list is well curated, and the cocktail program is thoughtful and interesting. The ambiance is clean, open, bright, and generally inviting - the service matches the quality of food and decor. Everything is as it should be; it is just perhaps not as good as some of its counterparts, Cherry Creek, and for that reason, it excels at having tables open when I have failed to plan properly and need a reservation. I do eat here fairly often, and I can't quite tell you why it is not a 5*, but it's not quite there for me.

From the amazing views to the welcoming staff, everything about this place feels elevated and memorable. The food and drinks were just as impressive. The Ahi Poke with tortilla chips was outstanding, with thick, luxurious ponzu-tossed tuna, creamy avocado, pickled jalapeños, red onions, and furikake. The hummus was also a standout, especially with the matcha salsa, pita chips, and fresh crudité. For drinks, the frozen margaritas were a must -- especially with the mango or guava upgrade, which our server recommended and absolutely nailed. If you're looking for delicious food, creative cocktails, amazing service, and the best rooftop vibes of the summer, Kisbee on the Roof is a must-visit. Highly recommend upgrading to a cabana for the full experience!

Denver Summers are absolutely gorgeous and what better place to spend one than at a rooftop pool!…read moreKisbee on the Roof is located on top of the Jacquard Hotel in Cherry Creek. It has great views of the city! The pool itself is very small. The chairs fill up quickly and it can feel like trying to claim your spot on a cruise- scoping out who even flinches to take over their spot. However, once you do get a spot, the loungers are super comfortable and there are plenty of umbrellas for shade. They do have cabanas that you can reserve. One thing that they do very well is service. The staff is constantly circulating the pool deck, providing drinks and bites to guests. The service was noticeably excellent and attentive.

I wish there was a little bit more meat, but the flavors were phenomenal.

Yuzu Cake - fantastic texture and taste Lava Cake - was giving off unusual banana notes Definitely a place that I will return. Valet parking available as well as meter and further free street parking.

Great dinner at Toro Latin Kitchen with a large group, and everyone left happy…read more We started with the sweet corn empanadas, the clear highlight of the apps, sweet, warm, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Beef tartare was close behind, finely diced and well-seasoned. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, the prawns had a nice char, and the Amarillo ceviche brought a bright, citrusy heat from the aji amarillo peppers that balanced beautifully against the cool, tender fish. But the real highlight of the night was the steaks. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly, well-charred outside and tender inside, paired with the potatoes three ways, crispy, creamy, and roasted, each with its own texture and seasoning. Even better was the tomahawk ribeye, flambéed tableside in mezcal, a great bit of theater with a smoky, slightly sweet flame that infused the meat. I got lucky enough to try a bite. Rich, buttery, and delicious with heavy rosemary. A real treat. Service was a bit spotty for our group. I won't go into details, but our server disappeared for long stretches and it took a long time to finally get our entrees. This was likely because of our specific server.

We had an amazing dinner at Local Jones (LJs) at the Halcyon Hotel, visiting on the second night of their new menu, and they absolutely nailed it. Our party of four was impressed from start to finish. The staff was outstanding--knowledgeable, prompt, and attentive without ever hovering. It felt like they truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. The food was excellent across the board. My New York strip was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The rest of our group loved their dishes just as much--the mussels, shepherd's pie, and braised short ribs all got rave reviews. It's not often that four totally different entrées are all home runs, but LJs pulled it off. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. We will definitely make LJs a regular stop whenever we're in Denver. Highly recommend!

I had the Toucan with Camp Viejo Rose, Elderflower, and Absinthe. It wasn't strong at all, but perfectly refreshing.

Ordered: Yellowtail Jalapeño (~$29)…read moreRock Shrimp Tempura (~$27): with butter ponzu & creamy spicy sauces Black Cod With Miso (~$39): 6oz cod in sweet miso Aya's take: I'm a big fan of Chef Nobu and was excited but also surprised to learn that there are 3 Matsuhisa locations here in Colorado! Considering the only other US location is in California, I was surprised and knew this would be my opportunity to try it! The aesthetic is modern & elevated with Japanese wooden features. I got 3 classic dishes which was just the right amount of food. I honestly recommend coming with a group to try more items since you know everything will be delicious. The Yellowtail Jalapeño is a signature dish; the yellowtail was delicate & buttery and the citrus soy with the bight of jalapeño made each bite clean, bright, with some subtle heat. I did not expect the Rock Shrimp Tempura to be that good! The shrimp was lightly battered & fried but the sauces were the highlights! Their creamy spicy is a very well-done spicy mayo but the butter ponzu was unreal! Super addictive, rich, and unlike any sauce I've had before. Shout out to my waitress for suggesting getting both sauces on the side rather than lathered on the shrimp, which also kept it crispy. Last but certainly not least is the famous Black Cod! The fish is super buttery and flaky; there were some caramelized edges from the miso glaze which added so much depth & richness to the bite. It's a good balance of sweetness, savoriness, umami that is bound to be good. All in all, so grateful I got to try what many call an institution and will certainly try more of chef Nobu's restaurants.

I'm familiar with the Nobu chain of restaurants and understood that this would be similar. We were…read morea party of four that were celebrating a birthday. We ordered Omakase style. Some of courses were delicious and some were mediocre. We spent almost $700 for a party of four. The situation that needs the most improvement was the pace of the meal. The courses were separated by a 20-30-minute wait time. Considering that the courses were very small and contained 5-6 pieces for a party of four... that equates to a little more than a small bite every 20-30 minutes. The dinner took 2.5 hours to develop, and we were honestly still hungry by the end. The waiter started asking us if were "still hungry" at about the fifth courses. By the end, we felt awkward in asking for more. The wagyu beef was particularly disappointing as the beef was somewhat chewy, lacking taste and small. Waiters seemed to be near their capacity of workload. Didn't really take the time to serve, walk you thru the menus, keep the service moving or even gauge your level of satisfaction. We ordered dessert to celebrate the birthday. Apart from a small chocolate plaque on the dessert that said, "happy birthday", there was no attempt to celebrate the occasion as other less exclusive restaurants do... no "happy birthday" wish, no courtesy dessert... nothing special. The best part of this meal was by far, the young couple that accompanied us. Friendly advice: if you want to impress a client with something the feels exclusive... this may be the place. If you are looking for amazing food, being pampered and feeling your money was "well spent", try another place. I don't plan to visit this restaurant soon.
