    Egg, cheese and spinach omelette, Biscuit and Potatoes.
    Marina F.

    A Lovely little restaurant. Excellent prices. The service was quick and extremely helpful and polite. I got 2 Biscuits, which came with homemade jam ;~} and butter. A 3 Egg Omelette with cheese and spinach and there is potato's as well. The Food was Phenomenally Delicious I will Definitely be recommending them and I will return.

    Do not skip these - Fried Green Tomatoes! Delicious.

    This place has a fun, hip, slightly chaotic brunch vibe. There always seems to be a wait, but honestly, join the Yelp waitlist before you go! We were told there were 10 parties ahead of us, and somehow our table was ready about five minutes later. In fact, the table was ready almost 20 minutes before the quoted wait time, so the waitlist system definitely seems questionable- to our benefit. We came on a Sunday and happened to get lucky because there was also a farmers market going on, which made the whole experience even more lively. The menu is described online as American, although I definitely got more of a Southern Creole influence from a lot of the savory dishes. The fried green tomatoes were hands-down the star of our meal - probably the best I've ever had. Absolutely worth ordering. We also tried the brisket hash and kicking sausage grits. The grits did not disappoint. The brisket hash was decent, but I think it could have benefited from a little sweetness to balance the barbecue-style brisket. There were also a few pieces that were very fatty, which disappoints. Overall, I would definitely come back. The menu is fun, varied, and diverse enough that there are plenty of other things I want to try. Just know what you're getting into: it's busy, very hipster, and chaotic - but that's the true flavor of brunch!

    Bluegrass Benedict (10/10 would recommend highly)
    Madeleine B.

    So glad that I picked this spot for brunch while visiting Denver. Vibe: Family friendly, open breakfast/brunch/lunch place with bar and sit down service. 9am on a Sunday was moderately busy and moderately loud. Service: 10/10. Bar staff was excellent, very friendly and fast. Food came out of the kitchen very quickly as well. Food: The menu had a lot of really interesting options, I got the Bluegrass Benedict. It was amazing. Literally one of my favorite benedict dishes I've had. It had layers and layers of flavors between the greens, sauce, and toppings. The home fries were crispy on the outside + soft on the inside perfection. The only part that wasn't stellar was the pork belly itself, have definitely had better, but everything else blew me away. The portion size was large. Value: I paid $22 after tip, it was a big portion and I had to eat some later (although not as good as fresh), overall great quality and service so would say value on point. Accessibility: There was street parking in front. There is a ramp to the door. I had a great meal and would recommend highly and would go again if back in the area.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Santana L.

    Visited during vacation & so happy I did. The shrimp & grits, delicious. Berry french toast, delicious. Chicken & waffles, delicious! I would come here every trip just to try more items on the menu! I did need to join the waitlist & waited about 40 mins, but that was expected! Our server was SO nice too!

    Brisket hash with two over easy eggs and cornbread
    Jason S.

    Great breakfast spot that delivers on flavor and price. I ended up eating the brisket hash with two eggs that was more than enough food and very tasty. The space is bright, and today was so nice that they opened up the garage door/windows that are behind the bar where I sat. The staff is super nice and the restaurant is a well oiled machine. I was going to talk with a manager about bringing a couple bottles of my hot sauce in to see if they'd rather do something local. I will be back because I didn't get to try their delicious looking pancakes on this visit.

    We stopped by here for breakfast before the zoo. They sat us immediately, which was a surprise because there was a lot of people outside, so we thought it was the line. But our waiter was absolutely awesome and we talked through recommendation since I'm not from Colorado, This is by far the best food I ate while in Denver. It was absolutely amazing.

    Looking for a place on the way to the airport as my trip to Denver came to a close, I found Four Friends on Yelp that had excellent reviews. What a find! Easy free street parking and a table available when I arrived. Service by Brenda was exceptional. She was very friendly and accommodating. It was hard to choose what to order as they had lots of yummy traditional as well as healthy/vegan options on the menu. I went with my usual craving: Huevos Rancheros. It was gigantic and had just the right amount of heat/spice and flavor. Yummers. Brenda kept the coffee refills coming and had me out of there in time to return my rental car and catch my flight back to Baltimore. Fueled by such tasty huevos rancheros, I was good to go all day without needing airport snacks. Nice ambiance here, noticeable inclusivity and positive vibes!

    OMG!!! The bacon grit bites are amazing  I must say everything I ate was delicious I will visit again !!!

    While we had to wait for a table for about 20 minutes, it was to be expected because the restaurant is small. And it is popular! Been looking high and low for a good spot for huevos rancheros, and found one. Great flavor, and I love the crispies of the tortillas. The service was amazing. We had a different server that took our order someone else that brought coffee. Someone else to give us the bill and they just seem to have a well oiled ship there.

    This was our first stop in Denver and I am so happy we came here! The staff was super friendly and gave us recommendations from their menu. We told them that we were going to splitting both of our meals and they went above & beyond to split our meals & put them on separate plates. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and were super crispy. The meal was one of my favorites from the trip.

    Hubby and I are always looking for a spot to have breakfast on a Saturday- now that's he has Saturdays free after 17 years or after Sunday church! So you know me I'm always googling or yelping because I know how important reviews are and I found Four Friends Kitchen!! This place is very nice and even a little romantic for the summer because they have a roof top to eat breakfast on and enjoy the warm weather. The service was great, we met the manager and he was nice and we talked about maybe having an event there one day! Now I ordered the chicken fingers, potatoes and a chocolate chip pancake and my husband ordered the usual: eggs, bacon, sausage and a pancake. The pancakes are huge!!! The food was delicious and my fingers cooked extra crispy! And my pancake tasted like dessert! Right up my alley!! ONE important thing to remember: you must make reservations because there is always a wait!!

    Gluten-free pancakes
    Maya H.

    Best gluten free pancakes I've tasted! The service and all items we tried were delicious. We ordered and received our food quickly - in and out of the restaurant in less than an hour. Very large portions ensure we'll have leftovers.

    Brisket Hash and Grits.
    Ace D.

    I have been wanting to try this place for sometime but it's always so busy or I miss their open hours. Finally made it on a snowy cold morning and the food here is amazing. Def plan to come early as there was a wait but the wait was worth it. Lots of southern style dishes, paired with your beverage of choice. The wait staff is so helpful and amazing and the place feels so cozy. Kind of like an upgraded silver grill.

    Have tried many places near DPAC but have not been to Corinne. So happy it was an easy walk about 3…read moreblocks away even with the summer heat. We made our reservation for 5:30PM and showed up at 5:05... glad they were able to seat us at 5:20 even though the restaurant was not busy and had many open tables. Maybe they were staggering for kitchen staff reasons. Marcos was very attentive and made tremendous amount of amazing recommendations. All of us decided to order the short rib from the prix fix menu and we all ordered some sides. We got the French onion soup, the bread pudding and the key lime pie. Also shared some mushrooms, asparagus and creamed spinach. The short ribs was very tender, the key lime pie was perfectly tart and sweet, the bread pudding is a little bit on the harder side as it came in a cast iron dish like a cookie... but the flavor was amazing and tasty w the vanilla ice cream. All in all we had a great time with our girls date after we saw a musical and really helped us wrapped up the day so sweetly. Thanks Marcos and team!

It sits conveniently near the Convention Center, possesses a polished dining room, and harbors ambitions that deserve encouragement. On the Fourth of July, however, time itself wandered off to watch fireworks. Six coworkers and I arrived for our 7:30 reservation. We were seated immediately at a comfortable table in the back. The dining room was only about two-thirds full, which made the evening's upcoming mystery all the more impressive. That prompt seating, as it turned out, was the fastest thing that would happen to us all night. Our server greeted us, took drink orders, and brought out some warm Parker House rolls with Amish butter, alongside a bowl of French onion soup. This part was good. The rolls were soft; the soup was rich and comforting. Spirits were high. We ordered our entrees. Then the clocks stopped. Twenty minutes passed. Then forty. Then an hour. At first, we assumed our meals required extraordinary craftsmanship. Perhaps each potato was receiving a heartfelt, individual farewell before being mashed. Maybe the cows for our burgers were being transported from the farm where they source their meat in Wyoming fresh to order. But then we noticed something unsettling: nearly every table around us was waiting, too. Plates were strangely absent across the entire room. We had all been trapped inside an intermission with no second act. Our server, looking more exhausted with every trip from the kitchen, assured us our meals had "just been fired." I believed that he believed it. Ten more minutes drifted by. Our dinners finally appeared roughly ninety minutes after we had ordered. I felt bad for the man. He stayed friendly and professional while serving as the lightning rod for a kitchen catastrophe he had nothing to do with. Sometimes the person carrying the bad news is the one who deserves the most sympathy. The food, at least, tried its best. One of us couldn't stop talking about how excellent the pork chop was. Another declared the salmon outstanding. Three of us ordered the Brush Creek Wagyu burger. Mine arrived a perfect medium-rare. The other two, ordered medium, arrived practically mooing. But after waiting an hour and a half, nobody had the stomach to send them back into the void. They just ate their rare meat and kept quiet. To the restaurant's credit, our server chopped twenty-five percent off the bill without us having to ask. It was a decent, quiet gesture. It acknowledged that the evening had gone entirely off the rails. Corinne clearly has potential. The location is great, the space is nice, and when the food actually makes it to the table, it's mostly quite good. I suspect we simply wandered in on a spectacularly bad holiday evening. Even so, a ninety-minute wait and some undercooked burgers are hard to ignore. I hope our night was the exception, but I'm not entirely sure I'd gamble my evening to find out.

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

I had the aqua profunda (cognac, St. George basil eau di vie, lillet rose, strawberry, lime, and absinthe). I also had the eight limb daiquiri (rum, Canada aguardiente, Thai tea cordial, lime leaf, and Maraschino). The Blood Oath (mezcal, Vecchio del capo, Calabrian chili amaro, St. Germain Elderflower, lavender, honey, lemon). All were complex and delicious. You could pick out every flavor, yet everything melded together so well. They also have some basic bar food and snacks, but somewhat elevated. I had the D&C Burger and it was juicy, rich, and had some great accompanying fries. I usually try to give a more in depth idea of cocktails available, but Death & Co has such a diverse menu with so many amazing craft cocktails that I can't offer that this time . . . you'll have to go in and see it for yourself!
