Even though they change it up with a weekly menu, they deliver as if they cooked the exact same dish for years. A cozy Michelin quality restaurant, nestled in the southern suburbs of Denver.

This was our first time here and came across it when in the area and search "wine bar". We saw…read morethere was a happy hour from 3-6 PM, so we stopped by. This is a cute place in a strip mall. We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

Honestly - fire all around. Everything we had was phenomenal…read more I think they change their menu often but we got - CRAB + CORN HOLUBTSI: which was my favorite thing on the menu. Cabbage wrapped crab and corn. Super flavorful perfectly cooked. - ADJIKA PELMENI: almost like a ravioli or tortellini. Wasn't my favorite, but everyone else loved it. Very earthy. - VEAL + POTATO FLAKE SHASHLIK: basically a shish kebab with veal and potatoes and the sauce they had for it was to die for - SQUASH BLOSSOM FRITTER: not exactly what I expected - it was a flattened fritter with everything on top, but the flavors were super great. - PAN SEARED RED PERCH: instead of perch, they had something similar to salmon and mussels. Everyone loved this dish and thought that the salmon was cooked to perfection. Service was great - no complaints Ambience is quaint and cozy!

Okayyyyyy Molotov, I see you!!!…read more TLDR: I was impressed by pretty much every single thing we ate. Beautiful plates, delicious and surprising flavors, friendly service. For our monthly dinner, my Yelp Elite girlies and I headed to Molotov. I don't know a ton about Ukrainian food but I'm always open to try new flavors and cuisines. I ordered the Moryana cocktail. It was a savory cocktail and had the most unique smell...after some questioning, I think it was the MSG! I didn't love it but it was incredibly unique. We shared all our plates and ordered the Marigold + Charred Leak Babka, Crab + Corn Holubtsi, Adjika Pelmeni, Veal + Potato Flake Shashlik, Squash Blossom Fritter, Pan Seared Red Perch, and Beet S'more. Standouts for me were the Crab + Corn Holubtsi, Veal + Potato Flake Shashlik and Beet S'more. The Crab + Corn Holubtsi was fantastical. If you love corn, you should get this. It's a great combo of flavor, a little sweet, savory, and the textures throughout are excellent and balanced. The Beet S'more is delightful. The marshmallow is bright and tangy which pairs so well with the white chocolate and the ice cream brings it home! It was the perfect ending to our meal. Shout out to the salmon that was so perfectly seared, I could've cried. I believe the red perch was replaced with salmon. Service was great, our server knew all the details on the dishes and was super helpful. 10/10 recommend y'all. You guys have to try this place out! Also, reminder, it is a tiny space (with beautiful decor might I add), so I would make a rezy.

My friend and I stopped in to catch up over a cider and dinner. We both aren't beer fans due to how full they make us. So, cider was perfect. They have a huge selection of flavors from super dry to sweet and unique ones such as ginger, lavender, and honey. I got the German bratwurst for my meal. The bun is soft and delicious but it was way too much bun for the bratwurst. It was just stuck in the bun cooked whole, if they would have cut it in half and layer it in, it would have been easier to eat and you would have gotten bratwurst with every bite. The flavor was amazing, the caramelized onions were perfection! The staff is a bit odd. Both the bartender and the food service people were extremely corky. Also, I ordered a cider at the bar and they must have a new system and an old guys at the food station who couldn't figure out how to add my food but keep my tab open, so I just closed out and paid for it all.

The restaurant was oddly empty for a Wednesday, with only one other group dining, and we were there during prime dinner time. But that meant our group of six we had a very attentive server, and she was great. We started with a host of appetizers including herring, all the pickled vegetables on offer, pierogis, and cabbage rolls. And a carafe of horseradish vodka, of their many house made infused vodka options. It was so delicious we got a second order of most of the appetizers. After so many starters, we went light on entrees, getting two beef stroganoffs and a lamb shank to share. Plus yet another cabbage rolls (they really were that good). Our resident Russian felt the entrees were far less traditional (she said they never ate lamb in her fed eastern part of Russia, and the stroganoff was a modern tale that was more of a steak with sides vs stew like) but we all agreed the modern tales were completely delicious, especially the mushroom sauce on the stroganoff. We finished with all three desserts available- a layered honey cake (deemed modern but tasty) a chocolate pot de crème (insanely delicious but not russian) and an off menu item of ice cream cake with a plum sauce It was a really lovely meal and I was so full I could barely get up to leave.

We came here for dinner for my partner's birthday since he has Eastern European ancestry and we…read morelove that kind of food! We got the herring, golubtsi, lamb shank, and pork schnitzel. The Lamb Shank was my favorite. So tender and flavorful. The cabbage roll was a bit disappointing for the price. It was one roll for $12, which this dish is usually made in batches for a fraction of the price. Everything else was good. We loved the selection of infused vodka. My partner's favorite was the horseradish infused one! One thing to note is that this is downtown, so street parking is the main option. We found a spit easily two blocks down on a Tuesday night. There's also a parking garage very near. Overall, a good experience and delicious food.

The Guest, located inside The Regular, is a full dining experience rather than a traditional…read morerestaurant, and it's a strong addition to the Denver food scene. This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is. If you're looking for a unique, chef driven tasting experience that feels cohesive and well executed, this is absolutely worth a reservation.

The presentation of the dishes was beautiful and unique. Some of our favorites were the crème brûlée scallop, mushroom French toast, duck donut, and cappuccino lobster. It's definitely expensive, but we knew that going into it. $190 for the meal, $143 for the wine pairing, $20 for a cocktail, and automatic 20% tip. There was a cute booklet at the end with sketches of the dishes. It was a little annoying that they wouldn't do separate checks for us since only one of us got the wine pairing.

What a great dinner for our anniversary celebration!…read more Not gonna lie anytime I see - farm to table - my initial thought is always - could they be pretentious? Not this place! We had such an amazing time with all the yummies! Their menu changes by the season and availability of the products. We started with the roasted beets - always a summer staple - what an interesting mix of plum sauce and sesame chili crunch oil. A little on the spicy side if you're spicy sensitive but it was the perfect level for us. We loved the sauce so much that we let Tina know that we wish we could sop up the leftover sauce when she was taking our plate away - she immediately sat it back down and said she could totally get us a couple slices of bread for that - drool! We also ordered the cast iron corn bread from the starter menu - it was piping hot and served with some sweet cream butter and house made peach jam. Don't sleep on those - I could have this for dessert too, so tasty! Main entrees - we ordered the pork chop and the salmon. I initially wanted the pork chop but didn't want the BBQ sauce cuz I'm not a sweet on savory girl... I opted for the salmon w all savory ingredients... Gosh, both are so amazing, thanks to the hubby for sharing his pork chop with me, the sauce was good and not too sweet - also it was more on the plate than drizzled all over so the pork really was able to shine through. So tender and juicy too. The curry potato salad paired w it was very refreshing and delicious. The salmon was nicely done, placed over a bed of dill dressed salad and smashed baked baby potatoes.. the potatoes were hot and crispy, the salad well dressed with nice big pieces of cucumbers and croutons. We are usually not dessert folks but we couldn't pass up the double chocolate pot du crème. It was lightly sweet and the cream was creamy but not sweet - really brought out the double chocolate - the sugared walnut was such a nice touch. We received complimentary 2 little celebratory bubbles for our anniversary from the restaurant and it was such a nice touch. I remember Wildflower also did that for our last anniversary dinner - so grateful for those. Tina was our server and she was amazing, made really great recommendations and super thoughtful w the bread for our beet sauce. Thanks Plimouth for making our anniversary special!

Came here for the first time for my anniversary and I liked it quite a bit, but can't say all the…read morefood blew me away like I was hoping. We started with three shareable appetizers and the best one by far was the peach and ricotta with herbed oil. It was fresh and vibrant and played with the balance between sweet and savory in such a fun way. This was my husband's favorite bite. The next one was the cornbread and it was ok. The cornbread itself was sweet and a little gooey in the center but crispy on the outside. Not terrible by any means, but with the honey butter it eats almost too sweet. Then the jam it was served with was super tart and it just wasn't to my tastes. The last shareable was the charred broccoli with plums and Polenta. This was my second favorite but the char was intense and made it a little bitter. The polenta was delicious and creamy though and I loved the sauce and plums. Me and my husband shared two entrees and the first was the grilled pork. It had some really good flavors, especially the pork chop. In fact it was the best pork chop I've ever had and the peach and onion slaw went with it so well. Whoever was working the grill really knows what they are doing. This was definitely my favorite bite. What didn't work was how overcrowded the plate was. The potato salad also felt unnecessary and the curry flavor with all the other things on the plate was an odd choice. It was also unevenly salted on the cauliflower and some were bland and others super salty. The other entree we got was the salmon. The sauce was great and so were the crispy potatoes but the salmon was underseasoned and the skin wasnt crispy, so that was a bummer. The salad was really nice but we didnt enjoy the bagel chips as they were hard and in really large pieces. Dessert was good but the plum tart, wasnt actually a tart but more of a galette. I wasn't expecting Puff pastry but the cream and plums were delicious. The apricot sorbet was nice and bright and made a great way to end the meal. Overall the food had some real highs and lows, but the service was very nice. All the wait staff was very attentive and the restaurant is small but inviting. I love that this is a scratch kitchen and the menu changes daily but it can also mean that some dishes aren't as refined. I would definitely come back and try some of the other things cause when the food here hits, it hits good and is worth it to me to keep coming back.

This locally owned spot is run by Sorin and Alexandra, who combine cultural tradition with sustainable practices and the result is incredible food made with care and local ingredients. Here's what I tried: - Langos Supreme - Garlic oil, sour cream, cheese, bacon, roasted peppers, red onion, arugula, and greens. Rich, flavorful, and SO satisfying. - Balkan Special - Garlic oil, feta, tomato & cucumber salad, prosciutto, olives, and parsley. Super fresh and bright--perfect for summer. - Strawberry Sweet Langos - Topped with Nutella, fresh strawberries, and powdered sugar. Basically fried dough heaven. - Summer Charcuterie Board - Two cheeses, two meats, and all the delicious extras.
