Great service staff. Donnie the manager is friendly and attentive. Great rooftop views.

I'm absolutely blown away by the entire experience. I've visited a lot of restaurants and had good food and great food, but this right here was absolutely exquisite. Starting with the decor, the aesthetics were completely perfect. They were great for photo ops. The vibe of the entire restaurant and even the downstairs lobby was not only cohesive, but it was mellow and inviting. It truly felt very peaceful. Don't even get me started on the views. They were almost 360 views of the entire city. Now down to the food. I had the Horchata cooler. This was dang near a perfect drink for me. When I saw the description that had line in it, it had me a little bit worried to tell the truth. But the lime is what brought the drink to life. The flavors were so balanced, and it had just a very slight hint of smokiness to it. The only thing that I did not like about the drink was that it had a little bit of chalkiness to it. The bite that I chose to eat, was the pork belly small plate. Hands down in all the time that I've been reviewing food, I think this is the best dish I've ever tasted. It was smoky, a little bit sweet with the sauce, fatty but not overly so, and tender. An overall dynamic dish. I wish I could taste it for the first time over and over again. Whenever I have any friends or family looking for recommendation, this will 100% be it. read more

Great ambiance. However, every sea food dish we had was very fishy tasting... like almost out of a lake. The sea bass was also so undercooked we had to send it back. I know this is a new place so maybe they are just getting their feet on the ground however we did not have a good experience read more

Located in the source it looks like some of the restaurants have disappeared. New ones are popping up, but definitely not a lot of people in and around the building for a Saturday night? The restaurant itself had a cozy atmosphere. Summer would be a phenomenal place on the rooftop deck. But it ends there. Server had to have been new. Walked up in interrupted what was a pretty detailed conversation. Talked over me when I was discussing something with our friends? Did it again after we told her to come back? She told us the places family style that the plates are huge and that we should probably share for the eight of us. Being skeptical looking at the menu I asked how many tacos per plate and she said 2 ? I asked her about the skewers and she again Rep replied 2 We asked her how many ounces of steaks were thinking they were going to be oversized and they arranged from 8 to 20 ounces hardly family style? We were not impressed with the food and that's all eight of us. Sauces weren't complementary to each other overdone with the sweet. Steak skewers were overcooked and undercooked, depending on who had what? They messed up the order and delivered the wrong food to the wrong couples? And them not knowing exactly what was what didn't realize until after they ate part of it. They did bring a replacement.. May come back in the summer for a happy hour on the deck, but definitely won't be back for the food read more

While the ambiance and drinks were on point, everything else was quite a letdown. Our steak came cooked Medium despite our order for rare plus. We let our server know and she said very little but took the plate. Forty minutes later she brought out a new steak. Nobody checked in on us during this long stretch to see how we were or see that we needed a second drink. Much to our disappointment the new steak was still over cooked but being hungry and not willing to wait another 40 minutes we went ahead and ate. At no point did a manager come to see that our new steak was satisfactory or apologize that it was overcooked. In addition, we were celebrating a birthday and there was never the slightest acknowledgement of our celebration. The setting is so great, we would have been so happy to put your establishment into our restaurant rotation; sadly, we won't be back. read more

If you go for a drink and a bite or to impress a client, or dinner date, this will do. I went for a business lunch and we did t have much time. The Host recommend something other than chicken if we needed to leave in 45 minutes. While that initially turned me off because I don't eat beef or pork, and the recommendation of salad is honestly insufficient as a meal without protein, we had walked to one place that was closed already. Anywho, the view of the restaurant is nothing less than amazing! The server came quick to take our drink order (i had water) he was swift and against the recommendation I ordered the caesar with chicken. (Sorry no pics for this one.) The salad was beautifully presented with chicken sliced on the side (dark meat). The chicken well seasoned and the salad was fresh. It came with thinly sliced parmigiana. The others order was for the pork tacos no side, he said they were very good. They have an extensive wine menu with many selections over $100/bottle. If you like wine you'll enjoy this spot. They also have a full bar and rooftop outdoor seating. I would like to come again before giving 5 stars but the view deserves a 10. read more

Food and drinks were good. Friendly service would go a long way. But staff was borderline rude.

We had a fantastic evening yesterday. Charlie was our server and she made the evening even better! We had the Peruvian ceviche, oaxacan old fashions, lomo soltado and the ribeye. Everything was prepared well, spiced well, and came out timely. Charlie was very personable. We talked about our love of food and travel. She was incredible kind and just seemed to genuinely enjoy her job. If you go, try to sit in her area to make your evening even more special read more

Best shrimp tacos I've ever had. Seriously. The atmosphere is really nice, lighting is good, amazing views. Bartenders were really cool and friendly. I was only in Denver for one night and I'm really glad I came here for dinner read more

Excellent birthday dinner at Cimera, the newly reimagined restaurant at the top of the Source Hotel. The great views are still there of course, but the decor is a notch higher and the food many notches higher. Great pan-Latin menu with a focus on Peruvian cuisine. Great cocktail options and interesting wine list with emphasis on South American wines. For three of us had the smashed avocado which in actually a really innovative and tasty variation on guacamole, the Peruvian ceviche, papa rellena (which is sort of large potato croquette filled with meat), one of the anticuchos (skewered meat), esquites, and the carne asada with chimichurri. A delicious tart tatine for dessert. Excellent service. Everything really outstanding! Will definitely be back! read more

Everything was amazing. The server, Moses, was incredible & recommended the best dishes. What had the beef anticuchos, empanadas, and the mushroom tacos. All the dishes were so flavorful and delicious. Would 100% come here again next time we visit Denver. read more

Went here for restaurant week to give a new place a try. All the dishes were overly salty and I'm a salt-alcoholic. The main course was inedibly chewy beef. There was an accidental $200 extra charge on our bill. (Which after we caught it was removed) I can only guess that restaurant week in Denver is designed to entice you to come back to places you have never tried. I definitely don't have that desire. The best thing about this place was a nice view. decent service, and a tasty cocktail. I just don't think I'll be back. It's a shame. It's a beautiful location. read more

genuinely never coming back hostess was rude uninterested my server wasn't so bad but she made a face im a quiet girl who just likes to explore eat good food i thought it looked chill enough idk what i did wrong but came at 4:30 everyone seemed moody food was good but just the ambience in itself wasnt for me too snobby for my liking i really don't care to talk to ppl but they made me feel liek they just did not care for my existence & no i wasn't dressed out of the ordinary or was rude at all just so annoying when you're met with that kind of energy the only persons name i knew was the guy who took over for my server Trenton or something like that he was chill but that's literally about it the server before him was doing ok but it felt so forced like oh my god sorry i came in you definitely don't have to worry about me coming back :) read more

I came for lunch after going to BarberX on the 1st floor. This space was formely The Woods. You take the elevators to the rooftop on the 8th floor. Plenty of room with views to the north and west. A large wraparound outdoor shaded patio with infrared heaters and garage doors that can be opened when it's warmer. I started the bar and was served by James. They opened just last week on October 30th. The food menu is Pan Latin. There is additional options available for dinner after 5pm. I started with a Guava Negroni for $17 made with mexican gin, sweet vermouth, campari and guava juice. James said it was a sweeter entry version of the regular cocktail. But not to sweet. I ordered the Yucatan Fish Tacos, 2 for $14. Very nice fish. I then got the Papa Rellena, a potato croqutte with beef & cheese for $16. I added a 2nd drink, a Red Sangria with Mendoza Malbec, pisco, blood orange, acai and triple sec. A great cocktail. James was attentive. I met another server when I arrived + the director of food operations. No dress code and no automatic service charges. For dessert, I got the Pina Colada Cachanga for $12. It had passion fruit creme, roasted pineapple and 2 scoops of coconut sorbet on a crispy cracker. Nice and sweet. read more

Cimera was okay. The al pastor tacos had a lot of fat, which made them less enjoyable, but the guac salsa was delicious. I also tried the horchata cooler, it wasn't actual horchata, more of a tropical-ish drink but it ended up being pretty good. Overall, mixed experience. read more

We have been here 3 times during our stay and we absolutely love Moses! He made our restaurant experience a 10/10 so caring and wonderful. Highly recommend. #SkoBuffs read more

Awful bar experience. I am staying at the hotel and was actively ignored. I suppose due to the free drink offered. Absolutely awful service. Was waiting for way too long for even acknowledgment of my existence for a 2nd drink. Really wanted to try some food but after that service what's the point. read more

The meal started with high hopes...the ceviche. Excellent portion, acid and flavor. Then everything quickly slid downhill. The table we were seated was kind of cramped next to a table in a corner by the window. The busier the restaurant became, we kept getting bumped by servers accessing the corner table. Our diner stuck in the crap seat had to carefully time when he'd take a sip of his beer lest he'd be bumped, again, and spill. The busier the restaurant became, our waitress started getting overwhelmed. The timing of our order was very off. So bad we had to flag down a busser to get our server to find out where our other entrees were. We could have forgiven all of this if the food was worth it...it was not. The food had an egregious lack of flavor! For 2.5 hours we spent $300 (that's even with a meal removed from the bill-4 people) on a very disappointingly bland meal. Will not return. read more

The most meh experience in awhile. Chewy fish and stringy meat; unknowledgeable and generally pissy staff; mediocre drinks and only two mocktails to choose from. Shame because the view is epic and the ambience besides the too loud music is pretty great. read more

I think the restaurant struggles with consistency. The food was fine but not for the price point. We did restaurant week and notice our food wasn't as fresh as the folks who weren't doing it. It's also kinda insane to me that they were feeding us corn for that price point. You're essentially paying for the ambience. Wouldn't come back. read more

Would have loved to grab a drink at the (empty) bar but the bartender didn't acknowledge us after 25 minutes so we opted to not stay for a drink. Do better next time read more

Amazing food! Been here twice and will come back again! Staff was super nice and drinks were amazing! I wish they kept the Salmon entree on the menu because it was the best thing I ever tasted. The views were amazing! I hope I can sit outside one day. read more

Me and my husband went to dinner here we were greeted and told we needed to hurry up and order because they were closing soon. My husband then ordered an alcoholic beverage and presented his ID and I was not drinking so I did not present an ID and I did not order an alcoholic beverage because I was driving that night. The waitress brought the drink we were about to order dinner and a couple minutes goes by. My husband asked me to pass him his drink, I then grab the drink and pass it to him as soon as I finish passing it to him, I was greeted by the manager, who was so rude. He yelled in my face and he said I needed to present an ID if I was going to drink. I said I am not drinking the drink. I did not take a sip of the drink. I was passing it to him. We were then kicked out because I would not present my ID because I did not drink this drink, while we were walking out they said we still needed to pay for the food that was not served to us yet we said no and they yelled in our face and said we are never welcomed here again horrible experience horrible customer service. read more

This is a go-to in RiNo. Latin influences, cocktails that are unique and hit the spot. Views that highlight why one may decide to move to Denver late in life....late add...mojito. read more

Atmosphere, vibes and views are great! Everything else subpar. Drinks weren't great. Food was subpar especially for the price. Service was rough. Wouldn't go back read more

The view is very nice the food is not. Didn't enjoy the empanadas, beef skewers, or the chicken main dish. Would recommend for drinks during the summer that's about it though. read more

We went with another couple and had the most enjoyable evening. The space was large and beautiful with the most fabulous views. The food and service was top tiered. Our server, Charly was lovely and very helpful making food selections. Everything we ordered was delicious. The highlights for us were the papa rellena, octopus carpaccio, the pork belly skewers and the pork shank. I'm still thinking about the shank. We will be returning and look forward to cocktails on the patio overlooking the Rockies read more
