My husband found this place after the NCAA games. It is very close to the Pepsi Center. It was almost empty, but filled up after a bit. It's a teaching/cooking school restaurant. I was very impressed with the clean and modern interior (I watched one of the staff scrub down a beer keg refrigerator before replacing it - great attention to detail). The cocktails are smart and fun. I had a raspberry lemon drop. My husband had a jalepeno martini. We were too full to eat much, but did sample the chips, salsa, and guac. it's very clear that the people here care about the experience. Every bite was delicious and unique. I'm excited to return when I have a bigger appetite! read more

I had a angus burger and my wife had a bacon angus burger, both with fries and everything was so good. Had the 90 shillings and Angry Orchard and both were Cold and delicious. Service was great! Very friendly. Only thing is kitchen is in same rm as sitting area so it was little Smokey. Otherwise a great friendly modern environment. read more

Last night after class, I took a trip to this restaurant located in the HLC building at MSU. The restaurant was pretty open, but I decided to take a seat at the bar where I was greeted right away. I ordered a glass of their white moscato and a small Colorado Cobb salad with ranch. I loved the wine because it was sweet, but not extremely sweet like most moscatos tend to be. The salad I ordered came out in a timely manner and looked so beautiful. I wish I would've taken a picture, but I was too hungry and decided to eat it all instead. The salad had corn, bleu cheese, bacon, avocado, hard boiled egg, tomatoes and pulled chicken. This literally was the tastiest salad I've had in a long time and it was the perfect size. I didn't feel too full afterwards, but more so extremely content. The pricing of the meal ended up being around $20, tip included. I wouldn't say that is too bad considering how delicious everything was. I definitely would recommend this place if you're ever in the area or need a place to hang out during a break from school. The environment and atmosphere is very welcoming and chill too! read more

Saw this place on Yelp and nice easy walk from the Pepsi Center. All tables were reserved and so we sat and the bar and Josh took care of us. We had a glass of house wine, I had the Cubano sandwich and my friend had the Gaucho and we both really enjoyed them. Great price for the 2 of us and Josh was a great server/barman. Will definitely be back! read more

My time in Colorado was short so I did not have time to explore the city of Denver, but I could only imagine how great from my experience here at degree, the food was delicious and the drinks were great not to mention Kat and Heaven making sure I doing okay the whole time, if I ever find myself in Denver again, I know where my first stop will be at! read more

First and foremost this place is a hidden gem! Tucked away In the Spring Hill Suites downtown. This restaurant has so much to offer. From beginning to end the service and food was superb! They do a great burger, I highly recommend you try it. read more

Great place for quality food, good drinks and great service! Conveniently located to Springhill Suites.

The open kitchen revealed that the oven had been turned off and we'd not be getting a dessert for the evening. Swing and a miss Marriott The Brussels sprouts were very good. The sever was very attentive at first then lacked in Service as our meal continued. My girlfriend and I had a hard time choosing from the menu so we asked the sever and followed his recommendations. I had the ramen and I could not eat it lucky my girlfriend liked it enough to eat a few bites of it so I didn't have to send it back. she got a chicken sandwich which I ended up eating, well I eat the chicken the bacon and tomatoes cuze there was so much aoil on the bun and lettuce was just overwhelming. The soba noodles salad was very good and was very nice the cook made the exception to our menu substitution. We then proceeded to order a desert that was also recommended by the server, after our sever argued with the cook for five minutes he came back to give his explanation for no dessert and my girlfriend said "well just take the check thank you."

Our friend was staying at the Springhill Suites next door. This spot was conveniently located where we could meet up, hang out, and grab some food. Our server gets an A for effort and engagement. She worked very hard with very little, and I think she was the only server on duty at the time. After we were seated, she told us that 3 out of the 4 or 5 entrees on the menu were unavailable. This struck me as extremely careless given that it was only 7p.m. Did someone not submit the kitchen order in time this week? I ordered a Sazerac. For $9, I got 50-75 mls. of nothing special. I was tempted to ask whether the bartender actually measured the ingredients. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to approach this problem with wait staff or management next time? The food was decent. One of my companions was extremely happy with the ribs. The other had to ask for a replacement for his salad because he was unaware it came with mostly arugula, a dietary restriction of his. The server graciously put in a replacement order for him. I was happy with my gaucho sandwich, although there was barely any pulled chicken. In short, this is a satisfactory option for those staying at the hotel and for students attending school nearby. In addition, it was not a terrible sitting-down experience. Furthermore, the server was outstanding and was working very hard. However, I would not recommend Degree to other neighborhood or city residents when there are so many other places to explore. read more

Stephen was fantastic helping us out! We were stranded in Denver (7 unhappy girls), who he was able to navigate with grace, kindness, and efficiency, while battling the accompanying crowd of other stranded Denver goers. The food was great and they were able to accommodate everyone's food allergies/needs in order to create a fantastic experience. Everything has been nothing short of perfect! read more

What an awesome place. Excellent food and an amazing staff to go with it. After eating an excellent burger we were treated to a crazy good dessert, PBJ sandwich with bacon and Nutella, topped with toasted banana ice cream!! Wow what a treat. Kudos to the all the kitchen staff! read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Food is delivered quick and the server, Heaven was so welcoming and really kind. The atmosphere is quaint and the food is wondeful read more

The four star rating is for their service, atmosphere, and proximity to things going on. If I could split the rating, I'd give the food three stars. We visited the restaurant since it was in the SpringHill Suites where we were staying at. We were running a little late due to traffic to get ready for a concert across the street at the Pepsi Center. The restaurant was busy but the waitress/hostess was really nice and accommodated us quickly. She took our order quickly as well and made sure our food came out promptly. We even got the free dessert for checking in which the kids devoured. We ordered the gambas, chicken club, bahn you, angus burger and a kids mac and cheese. The flavors were good all around. The burger and chicken club were pretty good, probably four stars on their own. The gambas and mac and cheese were cooked perfectly and seasoned well, also four stars. The bahn you was what docked a star for me. The flavor was good but the bread was too chewy for a bahn mi type sandwich and the meat was reaaally chewy. Tasted good but had to chew it A LOT. The dessert was awesome. We got the Nutella pie which came with ice cream. Really good for a free dessert. I would definitely visit again if staying in the hotel and going to the Pepsi center. read more

Never knew about this place until The Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse team had a celebration party night here. Located right in the hotel of Courtyard Marriott, is a beautiful modern looking restaurant and bar. Outdoor seating available and in a nice secluded spot from the busy street. Inside there is a bar and an upstairs area. The wait staff was nice, and did well with everyone there for the Mammoth event. The menu does change, I looked online prior to eating there and found something that sounded good but when we arrived it was no longer on the menu. The menu is not very big at all just some selective choices for the bar. However the menu does cater to a good amount of people. I got the Vegan veggie burger, which is nice that they note it is vegan just because I can't have dairy. Other American bar food choices were on the menu as well. The food is good and hot when arriving not to mention pretty fast service. If your ever staying in the hotel or just near the Pepsi Center and need a bar to go to with some good food definitely give Degree a try ! read more

Visited for late lunch prior to an event at the Pepsi Center with a group of 10+ women and we all gave a hearty "thumbs up" for convenient location/parking, ambience, service and food. All said "We'll be back!" read more

Degree Metropolitan Food + Drink exceeded my expectations. I was looking to grab a quick bite to eat before an Avalanche game and stopped in to try their Happy Hour. The street tacos are a must have and their drink specials are very affordable. They're located just across the Courtyard from the SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown and are extremely close to the Pepsi Center. I would highly recommend stopping by before a game and trying it out! read more

I love coming here for meetings and/or events and today was fabulous as per usual. The food was great. Heaven was our server and she was attentive to our needs and made good suggestions to our drink-food pairings. I will definitely be back because of her!! read more

Great spot to gab a drink and some delicious food before an Av's game or concert. Service is always great, drafts fresh and food creative. Definitely check out the ramen, easily holds up to some of the best ramen joints in town. read more

It takes a lot to go wrong for me to take time to right a review. I think this is important for the public to know. Our reservation was initially lost, which should've been our first clue. Of the 6 of us who ordered food: 1 person pulled a hair out of her salad. The server waited 30 minutes before asking her if she'd like anything else. Another person received his pork ribs undercooked and had them sent back. The second order came back well prepared. I had a small salad and bowl of baked potato soup, which resulted in food poisoning. I spent the night in hot/cold sweats, extremely painful stomach cramps and puking more than I ever have in my life. read more

Not impressed. Wait time was more than 30 minutes for a chicken club sandwich. When the sandwich arrived it was missing the bacon and the chicken was burnt. My friend's shrimp was also burnt. The wait staff was nice but unfortunately the food wasn't. read more

This place is great for food and drink before an event at the Pepsi Center. You can valet park your car there and get it after the event for $4. The restaurant supports and employs the students at Metro State and is just way better than the sports bars that are your other options across the street from the arena. Great food, drink, service, atmosphere. read more

Food was amazing! I ordered the cubano and it was perfect, fries are on another level!

Without a doubt, Degree provides truly quality food at a good price. The Auraria/pepsi center area is starved for actual good food choices, and Degree fills that void. Their salads are fresh and creative (especially their smoked beet and corn bread salads!), and their entrees are surprisingly inexpensive for the quality of food that you get. If you're in the area, it's a little tucked away, but worth the visit. Not a typical hotel restaurant. Great spot for a happy hour as well as they have an extensive Colorado beer and wine list. read more

A group of friends and I went here on a trip and all of us got sick. It was mainly that it cause some constipation and diarrhea. We do not recommend. read more

I had called and made a reservation five days ago for a birthday event on December 3. When I called in today to verify my reservation, I was told that I did not have one. The individual stated he would talk with his manager. I did not receive a phone call back so-I called and spoke with the manager. She was incredibly rude and stated that she had taken my reservation over the phone but somebody on open table, a guest, had canceled the reservation. I have never used open table to make a reservation and thus her story makes no sense. It appears to me that a member of the staff had removed my reservation for another individual. I find this behavior deplorable, incredibly incompetent and rude. I decided to call back and cancel my reservation which was now at the bar. I told her that she will never get my business again and she happily said " OK that's fine have a good night." read more

Went to Degree before a volleyball game at Metro State. Once we figured out where it was we realized it's a great location if going to an event on campus or Pepsi Center. Easy access to light rail. Even better, the food was terrific, and Mary, our waitperson was friendly and accommodating. She split the cornbread salad and slaw hog sandwich my sister and I shared so we didn't have to make a mess of it. To quote my sister. "It's little things like that that make a difference." Paloma cocktail was perfect. Definitely going again. read more

Such a find! Great food and drinks before our concert tonight! Hristina was attentive, kind, and accurate with our order. This is our new hidden gem before going to the Pepsi Center. They even have valet for $11 during concert nights. The Degree Burger was delicious and the Green Chile Martini. Enjoy! read more

Degree is a hidden gem in Denver. The staff is attentive and so professional and I can't say enough about the food. I have had a few items on the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Definitely will be coming back again! read more

When I first walked in I thought it was closed. There was no body in there except the staff. We got seated and ordered drinks. My beer was flat, my ladies drink was terribly mixed. At that point we should have gotten the hint and left, but we decided to give the food a chance. We were not shocked when we took our first bites and were utterly disgusted! I got the green chili burger, thinking that since it had so many toppings that it would have many delectable flavors, come to find out it was very very badly made. I would have rather driven half a mile and eaten a big mac. The fries had entirely too much salt. Very Very disappointed. if you want a good meal, there are many restaurants within a few blocks that will not make you gag. read more

I have loved everything on the menu, been in several times for dinner and lunch. Food is fantastic (especially the flash fried Brussels & Bahn Mi sandwich), the staff is friendly. When I'm downtown this is a go to for me. Highly recommended. read more

Josh and Sierra both waited on myself and my friends. They could not have given us a better experience. They were friendly and provided us with outstanding service. A+ read more

Very disappointed... Ordered a few appetizers to go to take up to my room at the Marriott next door. Was greeted efficiently but while I was waiting for my take out at the bar 2 servers got in a heated debate over stealing each other's tables. The manager let them rant on for what seemed forever with me being only 4 feet away. If that wasn't enough the appetizers were terrible. The advertised fresh homemade chips and salsa where clearly cold and from a bag. The quesadilla was not cooked all the way and had cold cheese in the center, and the shrimp was not even edible... Would recommend anyone considering this place to take the extra 10 minutes to find a better restaurant downtown. read more

BEST 'Miners Gold Cake' (whatever that is) in the entire world. No joke, go here for the cake.

This was a great find, was meeting my friend at campus for lunch and had a fabulous experience; both the staff and the food were incredible. The carnita empanada was so moist and flavorful, I highly recommend it if you want to get an appetizer. The burger was cooked perfectly to order and the toppings are fun and unique, you can't get a chicharron on a burger just anywhere. read more

A great Thai noddle bowl, awesome steak frittes and sumptuous carnita empanada.. Innovative cocktails like Jasmine Gin Fizz and Rosemary Salty Dog. The university at Metro State has provided a top notch learning experience and the food, presentation,and wait staff reflect the desire to be the best of the best! read more

Had the WORST dining experience ever here! We made reservations at 6:00pm before the 8pm concert for Sting & Peter Gabriel. We placed our order at 6:20pm and by 7:15pm we had neither our food nor our drinks nor appetizers. Our waiter was like a deer in the headlights and completely forgot to put in our order and then lied to us twice about it by saying "oh, I see it the window, it will be right up" and then disappearing. At 7:25 he rushed by and dropped off the chips and guacamole that we ordered over an hour ago, which we had to gulp down and then rush out to make it to the concert. We never got our food, so I can't review its quality, and then we never saw our waiter again either. What a complete waste of time and money, I will never go to this place again. It's a training place for the culinary school for Metro State, and it shows, its run by a bunch of rookies. read more

Delicious food. The Cubans was the best we have ever had and the salmon BLT was delightful. It was long to get our food during a slower time so that dropped a star and staff could have been a bit friendlier. Definite recommend a visit. read more

Interesting ingredients, easy access to experimental, gourmand entrees, appetizers, and salads. Very few patrons on our visit to Degree, a Monday evening/pre-Avalanche home game/dinner hour. Foodies, locals, and adventurers should check this place out. Don't be dismayed by its state of being undiscovered. The only thing holding it back is the well- meaning, but lackadaisical service. High point: one of the chefs coming out and talking with us excitedly about his future plans. read more

I had the opportunity to try almost everything on their menu for the past two weeks. Really good food and very nice professional service.

Ordered the degree burger for take out. Burger tasted good however it was missing the bacon, blue cheese, and guacamole. I probably should have checked the burger and taken it back for them to remake, but was too hungry. Overall the staff was nice and burger tasted good, but it would have been better if it was what I ordered. It was missing the key ingredients. Would advise if you order takeout to check all your orders. read more
