Excellent! Such a sweet, intimate, higher-end dining spot. I made reservations a couple of weeks in advance, and we ended up sitting at the bar, which was actually really fun because we could watch the cooks prep everything. Food highlights were definitely the chickpea fritters (delicious!), pull-apart bread, lamb meatballs, and scallops. For our main course, we ordered the scallops and the cabbage, which came highly recommended. The cabbage was probably our least favorite dish of the night, and my husband and I agreed we would have happily ordered two rounds of the scallops instead! The overall experience was great, and the service was really good, especially considering how busy they were. Great food, fun atmosphere, and such a cool experience watching everything come together from the bar. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Major Tom - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was a big one for us!! We came to Major Tom to celebrate our recent engagement and my birthday, and it could not have been a better choice. We got all dressed up, made a night out of it, and felt like royalty from the moment we sat down. We chose to sit at the bar, and I think that's the best way to experience this place. Watching the chefs cook and plate every dish right in front of you is so fun to see. The kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine, and everyone works with so much care and respect for what they're doing. Our server was amazing. They knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made us feel so welcome without ever being overbearing. One of my favorite parts was the postcard they give you with your bill. You can have them mail it to you later, which is such a fun little keepsake from the night Everything about this place feels thoughtful. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. This has officially become our special occasion spot, and we'll definitely be back. read more

4.5 stars. Phenomenal! I came here with my best friend, and we started with sitting outside on their patio while enjoying fries and oysters, then decided to migrate to a table inside. Understandable why it's ranked high on lists of Denver restaurants. I first heard of Major Tom when dining at their sister restaurant Beckon next door. We enjoyed the Smoked Mushroom Tartine, Smoked Duck Leg, and their Bread & Butter. Everything was delicious. They are also wine experts here. I'd love to come back again. There's a very cozy, romantic vibe inside the restaurant. Staff was fun and professional. It doesn't seem like their menu changes much, but there's more to try! read more

This place is small but super cute. The outside patio is perfect for dinner in the summer. The chefs counter is nice to watch the team do their thing in the kitchen. The staff is the best part of this place. So kind, great suggestions, and attentive. The food was good. We tried the mushroom tartine, French fries, chickpea fritters, and the salad. The salad was probably my favorite. read more

Major Tom - Potato with roe - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

Came for a light bite to try some of the offerings at Major tom. We loved the ambiance and service of course was very attentive. We sat by the window with some natural lighting and enjoyed the nooks created for smaller parties. The shared plates were overall delicious with a good variety flavor-wise (except the overnight cabbage) Mushroom-tartine: nice contrast of umami mushroom with the burrata on fantastic sourdough Chickpea fritter: creative and crispy Baked potato: actually quite filling, we loved the smoked trout roe on top. The crushed chicken skin left something to be desired texture-wise as it didn't really give much crunch The one dish that I didn't like and ironically was looking forward to the most was the overnight cabbage. For having been roasted overnight it was still quite tough and needed quite some knife work to cut into smaller pieces. There was also just a lot of acid and surprisingly oil in the dish that didn't get balanced by anything else. Each bite was crunchy as if it was barely cooked with a sharpness of acid and an awful mouthfeel of grease. Very disappointing for $27 read more

This place is tiny and loud, the menu is meager, and the food is just ok with maybe a plate or two that really shines. For us, our favorite dish was the salmon roe baked potato. Probably the best baked potato I ever ate. The rest of the food was very meh. Despite the close proximity in location (and ownership?) to Beckon, the food here is not Michelin quality, but the presentation is fantastic. The chickpea fritters were like blocks of something with no discernible flavor. The challah bread was horrible, not soft and chewy like it should be but incredibly crunchy and crumby as if it were in the oven far too long. Also the butter they served it with was very hard to cut, like a brick, and didn't really elevate anything. You've gotta have a better house bread than this. The scallop and muscles dish was good, not amazing but solid. The oysters were noticeably fresh and very good. We also came in on a special tiki night, so we didn't get to experience their full menu (I don't think) or their typical cocktails. We did order the sriracha wings off their special tiki menu and they were quite tasty, but they only gave us four of them (usually an order of wings is six) and given that they at least should have been a little more meaty. We also ordered their 'zombie' and 'hurricane' variations off their tiki cocktail menu. The hurricane was very good, it was a typical passion fruit-forward hurricane but with added huckleberry jam which was very unique. The 'zombie' variation, not so much - very generic with no discernible flavors and maybe even tasted overly-diluted. The staff were nice and helpful in terms of clearly guiding us around how much food to order. And they gave us a complementary chocolate mint thing on our way out which was nice. But while the baked potato and oysters were very good the food overall was at best hit-or-miss and the experience overall was underwhelming. Feels odd the best thing I ate here was a baked potato. There are a lot of exceptional restaurants in this area and I don't think this is one of them. read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Denver. My wife and I went tonight and sat at the bar for the optimal experience. First for the service 10/10. Plates were swapped with clean plates between courses, water always full - super attentive. The bartender Joe - one of the best. Extremely knowledgeable about beer and spirits and was super helpful on making recommendations. The food - outstanding. Deliciously seasoned, flavorful and high end. We will 1000% be coming back! read more

GAH where do I even begin. I know there's a Michelin joint right next door, but I honestly can't imagine it topping our experience at MT. My hubs and I went for an anniversary/bday treat. Staff is effing amazing. MT is tiny, but as it's def in a converted house, it was in fact, homie. We started with oysters, which I love, but the french style with creme fraiche and caviar ruined my whole life. SO GOOD! We then got the duck leg and NY strip. All amazing of course. Ah and Andrew the Somm definitely gave the best bubbles and wine for our dishes. We then had dessert in their tent out back, with wood fired stove. Super cozy. I know we got the cookie ice cream sandwich, if not a second dessert also. The sammie was so great in it's perfect simplicity. One of those expensive eves out but where every portion of it was worth it. Cannot recommend enough! read more

I came here for a Wednesday date night reservations are recommended. I have walk by so many times, so I was happy to finally be able to dine here. They have a very cute patio however in the middle of winter we opted to sit inside. I was very impressed with the menu! It's a small menu but they have perfected it. No cocktails really excited me on the menu, so I told the waiter I liked sweet vodka drinks and the drinks that came were delicious!! Food wise, the oysters and duck confit were my absolute favorites. Our waiter let us know that around 3 - 5 items would be about right for two people. We did four items plus dessert, and it was the perfect amount. I highly recommend for a girls gossip night or dinner date. The service was amazing and everyone who worked there that we ran into was nice and professional. The only reason I took off half a star was because of the seating. This is not a place for crowds as it is very tight inside. The tables are extremely close together which means you will be bumping elbows with strangers. Lastly, the food tasted great except for the fries. They were way too salty and honestly, we didn't really make a dent. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and would be happy to come back! read more

Service: We were celebrating a lot of milestones within our group and they immediately made us feel welcome with a splash of champagne. It set the mood right for the service and they never let down the positive vibes! Food: We got a ton of food! My favorites were the beet salad, the chickpea fritter, and the bread. The hamachi was good quality of fish but the flavors added were just okay in my opinion. The cabbage is their known dish and it was very flavorful but nothing I needed to get again. We also got the NY Strip which was 12oz for $115. We were torn because we thought the price was a bit steep but we got it anyway. Sadly, it was cold when we got it and couldn't enjoy it so we sent it back but the cook looked beautiful and good (not great) flavor. The cocktails were all delicious (including the mocktails) but the red wine was subpar in my opinion and I feel like I have a sophisticated palette for wine. Ambience: adorable. The bathroom is like a personal spa lol Overall, I enjoyed myself but I'm not sure I need to come back. Nothing stood out enough to me besides the cocktails. I think it's a perfect place to cocktail first then head somewhere else for dinner. Not trying to be harsh, that's just my truth. read more

This restaurant was a major disappointment for myself and my group who attended. There is nothing special about the ambiance and very tiny. Food choices were mediocre and flavor profile was ok but nothing to rave about or to be considered a 4-star restaurant in Denver. Our waiter was off putting to me, maybe he was having a bad night, idk. When I asked if they did anything special for birthdays he responded with "we provide you with a candle for dessert." I laugh and asked just the candle and he responded "yes just the candle". Funny but not funny when you are trying to have a wonderful evening celebrating at their establishment. I will say a gentleman (not our server) treated us to a special bday shot after our meal which was a nice gesture and well appreciated considering our tab all together was about $350. I ordered the duck which, I eat duck quite often at other establishments and this dish was not good. When the plate landed in front of me I could smell a pretty bad smell, when I took a bite it was chewy and very gamey. Server replaced my meal immediately which was nice and I had the beef tartar which was delicious. A manger did not touch our table to discuss, which was fine but usually is a service step that is appreciated when someone doesn't like their meal. Sadly I would never return unfortunately and I absolutely love dining out. Especially when you find a gem. If you are looking for a fantastic meal, there are nearby restaurants that are far more superior. read more

Major Tom - Duck - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Visited for Father's Day, and absolutely incredible experience. The oysters were to die for / grilled and caviar were the sure winners ( although I am not one to choose favorites.) Their bread rolls with the sautéed onions was one of my favorite parts!! The drinks were also incredible, not a fan of lychee but wow, it was incredible with the plum dust of sorts on the outside. My brother kept lickin my glass! Anyway, incredible experience, will be back for oysters. read more

Food was really solid. Service was all very good. However nothing blew me away, which is what I expect that this price point.

Came here after a wonderful dinner at Beckon just next door. The place is modernly designed and decorated for a small space. I was full so did not try any of the food. I'm sure it's great. It was not too crowded, some groups enjoying the night. They have indoor/outdoor seating. Seems like an easy place to hang. Server - our server (according my receipt is Allison) was great, service was quick, which I appreciated. Drinks- I decided to go with First Ascent which has passion fruit, ginger beer and almond. This is actually on there mocktail list. But I told them to add gin to it, to make it a cocktail. Sometimes mocktails can become great cocktails and vice versa. Very light and refreshing. Give it a whirl, if your so inclined. read more

While visiting Denver, I wanted to treat myself to a new restaurant experience and ended up at Major Tom, which I was especially excited about since it's the sister restaurant to the Michelin-starred Beckon. Naturally, expectations were high. I started with the oysters and the shrimp cocktail. At first glance, I noticed the shrimp looked stunning completely different to the one on Yelp: a tad bit overcooked, not as plump, and definitely underwhelming. That said, the cocktail sauce was actually really solid, balanced, and flavorful. As for the oysters, for $4 each, they were tiny. I know you're paying for quality and sourcing, but honestly, they didn't live up to the price tag. I ended up ordering the turnip because the guy sitting next to me was raving about it. When I finally tasted it, it was just okay. Not bad, but definitely not the standout he hyped it up to be. The one saving grace of the night was the scallop entrée. It was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious. It was the highlight of the meal. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. For a spot tied to a Michelin-star restaurant, I was hoping for a more cohesive experience. The courses felt disconnected, and the highs didn't make up for the lows. The drinks looked incredible, though. If I ever come back, I might get a cocktail and scallops instead. read more

This place is awesome. Open kitchen. We sat at the bar and basically watched our own cooking show for 90 minutes. The staff ...extremely professional yet laid back..my kinda joint. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the 2 expensive Oysters (don't recall the names one had Caviar) twice!. Plus that smoked tomato vinegarette thing they have going on was brilliant. One piece of advice if they want it. The Waiter came over and told us the plates (servings) were large so that makes them shareable. This was not good. Me and the Mrs are on completely different food planets. Everything i love (fish, mushrooms...etc) she hates. So we tried to come to a happy medium. My advice would be to ignore their advice and get whatever the hell you want and take the rest home. Cheers read more

This was a Michelin star type of experience that was reasonably priced and delicious. We were welcomed into Major Tom, a cozy but vibrant environment and sat right away at the chefs counter. I had mentioned my allergy on my reservation and the staff was prepared with a menu on what they could accommodate for me. My boyfriend and I had two drinks each and were able to watch all five of our courses being prepped which was so much fun. They recommend shareable and by the end of the meal we were so full. The restaurant offered us a complementary chocolate which we managed to eat on our full stomachs. read more

Feeling majorly inspired by @majortomdenver! Named after David Bowie's iconic song "Space Oddity," this cozy spot is the perfect date night destination. The atmosphere is intimate and the menu is approachable, making for a low-key dining experience& yet classy. The roaring fireplace outside adds a romantic touch to the ambiance. And let's talk about the food - impeccable! The cocktails are divine and the in-house made desserts are heaven. The staff, especially Tim, went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. I can't wait to come back to this 10-month-old gem. Featured dishes: Venison Tartare Shiitake mushroom, sun-dried tomatoes, aioli + s /p potato chips Farm Veggies Seasonal vegetables, smoked yogurt + almond Ora King Salmon Fennel, potato + tarragon Cream Puff Vanilla creme diplomat Cocktails: The Alpine Forthave Yellow, gentiane, cocchi americano, creme de menthe, lemon bitters + salt The Movies Puffed amaranth-infused bourbon, manzanilla sherry + mole bitters read more

Food was just good, everything else just OK. Expect to come here hungry and leave just as hungry despite-$500 missing from bank account. Came here hungry and while the chickpea balls and fries were good, everything else is just OK. We came here for my birthday with seven people. Small portions and big bills. Drinks are good but nothing special. My birthday "celebration"provided despite the money spent was a candle in an empty jar. Desperately lacking while charging premium prices. Ambiance is okay, can't see menus or anyone next to you. Service is friendly and great, no complaints there. Overall, a total scam and will never recommend this to anyone. read more

I absolutely love this place for many reasons. First, the steak was perfectly prepared (even after I brought it home as leftovers). Service is attentive and personable (Andrew is great), I like that it's tucked away, the ambiance is sleek but warmer than you'd expect, and in general, I dug the vibe. There's no pretention when there could be, I felt right at home (my first visit was solo, and they still gave me a comfortable booth), and I liked trying the more adventurous dishes like the Hakurei Turnip "side" that I would not have normally gone for (delicious and healthy - so Denver). The crowd is somewhat less see-and-be-seen than Major Tom's nextdoor counterpart, Beckon, and it's my go-to spot for friends coming into town looking to get a little dressier than the Colorado norm. If you didn't know that Beckon needs reservations often well in advance, and they send you here as plan B, don't think you're getting a lesser experience. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Beckon, but I like Major Tom's elegant, yet down-to-earth scene. Probably one of my top 10 of Denver. read more

Our recent dinner at Major Tom was truly special on so many levels. The food--fantastic. The service--well executed, informed, prompt, and professional. The ambiance--intimate and lighthearted. Honestly, I've been down on the Denver food scene lately and this experience reminded me how a well executed meal can transcend all of those mediocre experiences. In the words of my 5-year-old daughter: mind blown! First, the food. And yes, we over ordered, but we wanted to try a few things and we figured we could take home any leftovers (which we did). We started with the Panisse, Beets, Mushroom Tartine, and the Savory Babka. All were excellent, but I think the standouts were the Tartine and the Babka, although the texture of the Panisse and flavor is special, so I'd consider that as well. For mains, we had the Cabbage and the Bass, both of which were phenomenal. I was really blow away with what they were able to accomplish with the cabbage. Deep miso flavor along with homemade gluten free croutons and silky yet firm cabbage, charred to perfection, makes for a flavor explosion with each bite. And the Bass was cooked perfectly with crispy skin and a flavorful sauce. We wrapped up with the cream puff, which was unsurprisingly delicious. Overall it was a terrific meal. The service was also excellent. We sat at the chef's counter which was a fun experience because we interacted with both the kitchen staff and our waiter. The courses were well timed, and the food was presented to us within moments of being prepared. When we got the bill, I felt that the price was more than fair given the overall experience. It's rare to have a dinner where everything is perfect, but that was my experience at Major Tom. read more

A charming little restaurant in the heart of the action at RiNo serving up fun and interesting foods and drinks. Given that I can only rate 4 or 5, I give a 5 even though I want to give 4.5 stars. Minus half a phantom star for food execution, which I will explain throughout the food review. We made reservations for Saturday at 4:15pm. Earlier than I typically prefer for dinner, but happy hour is from 4-5! The ambiance was dark, hip, and modern art. Even the utensils were black and had a slight modern art look to it. We were warmly greeted when we entered and taken to our table. I especially loved the rustic cloth napkins. We ordered a couple cocktails and a few dishes to try. Thanks to happy hour, the cocktails were 50% off and the oysters were 1/3 off. The absinthe cocktail had a wonderful black licorice flavor. The sweetness from the vermouth and the herbal flavor from the creme de violette complemented the dominant absinthe licorice, but masked the aggressive and less pleasant aspects of pure absinthe. The porto cocktail was pretty sweet and simple, but very well balanced. A crowd pleaser for sure and a classy drink. The oysters were fantastic. Fresh, clean flavor. It came already composed with the right amount of champagne jelly and pickled shallot. I particularly enjoyed it with several drops of fresh squeezed lemon wedge, which seemed to bring forward salinity. The Morel and spring pea tartine was a 100% hit. Beautifully composed dish with fantastic mushroom flavors. This kind of dish would make me not miss meat. The shooting star (seafood tartine) was mostly awesome. Luxuriously topped with delicious caviar and perfectly cooked prawns. My one complaint was the halibut. Everything about it was perfect except for the dryness. Not sure how to fix that other than maybe pick a fish that is more oily? The pork chop was a bit of a disappointment. The quality of the meat was excellent, but most of the meat was overcooked (medium well) and a bit dry. The meaty bits right on the bone was perfection. Honestly, I don't know if I ever saw a bone-in pork chop cooked a perfect medium using just a pan and an oven, which is the technique that this kitchen used. The apple cider vinegar jus that pooled at the bottom of the dish was absolutely delicious. The salt crystals were awesome, but not plentiful enough for me. I would have loved to have 1 giant salt crystal with each bite. The popcorn eclair was almost a flop for us. The cream inside was amazing and delicious. The popcorn inside the cream was somehow kept crunchy, but was insanely salty. When eaten with the cream, it wasn't inedible salty. The pastry was nice and slightly crusty in a good way with nice flavor. Overall, we had a delightful experience. While I felt that the food was not perfection, it was still good and not lacking in creativity. read more

New favorite date night spot! Such a cute place, with absolutely top-notch service from the servers and sommelier. Loved the food and wine -- although if you're picky, be prepared that the menu is a little limited (for example, the main entree when we went was the pork chop, and there was one red wine by the glass). I love how fresh and seasonal it is, though -- and my husband and I were happy to share the oysters, chickpea panisse, prawns, heirloom tomato salad, tartar, and pork chop. They also have the most amazing and extensive dessert wine menu I've ever seen (shared with Beckon next door) -- so you can even try something as cool as a 1945 Malvazia from Madeira. read more

A cute, cozy, and romantic spot for a date night. Professional service, great drinks, and a wine list. The only thing that I think is a miss, is the menu is very small. We tried five of the ten or so dishes. If this was a weekly or daily menu that would be fine, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The beets were delicious. The babka was OK but didn't impress. The tartar was also delicious, I would have liked to see the quail egg on top. The fries were another hit. The skirt steak was as tender as a fillet and delicious. I would definitely come back! read more

I recently celebrated a dear friend's birthday at Major Tom's. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Alison and Brianna in a way that made us feel as if we were among friends. We had no idea of the gastronomic treat that awaited us. We were seated at the chef's counter where we asked our chef, Josh and Andrew, our server/sommelier to choose our menu and drink pairings. We shared several courses which allowed us to taste a wide variety of mphenomenal menu items. The dressed & undressed oysters tasted like they were just plucked from the sea! A perfectly cooked crispy yet moist bass, a creamy, flaky chickpea fritter and the decadent mushroom tartine were all divine. We also enjoyed farm fresh greens, baby carrots & beets. I'm still dreaming of the savory overnight cabbage! The overall experience is one I will not soon forget! Major Tom's is a delightful gem in the RiNo community of Denver that everyone should experience! The passion for their craft is evident in their creative menu, exceptional service & culinary expertise! When booking your reservation, I recommend the chef's counter experience. Prepare yourself for a flavor fusion to tantalize your tastebuds and leave you longing for the next visit! Janet Ramsey read more

We were able to get last minute reservations for an early dinner. Major Tom is next door to Beacon, where their sign can be easily missed. Very cute and curated space for fine dining. Enjoy indoor or outdoor heated patio seating. Tiny but mighty kitchen setup and shared space with the bartender with a massive selections to choose from. Service was spot on. Waters were never left empty and always asked if you wanted another round if your drink. Everything tasted fantastic and made perfectly in their tiny kitchen. We opted for family style so we can to taste a bit of everything. The menu rotates during the seasons, so what I had might not mirror what's available today. The bathroom decor is super cute - Major Tom theme. Pricer so probably not your everyday place but special occasions or with friends. Happy eating!

We had a phenomenal experience at Major Tom! First off a big shoutout to Liz our server, and Andrew the sommelier. They were both incredibly welcoming and attentive, their service was beyond exceptional. Further Andrew's wine program is second to none in Denver. You won't find anything like the unique varietals chosen for their list anywhere else (other than their sister restaurant Beckon of course). The phenomenal service is followed by the fantastic food coming out of their kitchen. As with their wine their dishes are nothing short of unique. The entire team, including the chef, and mixologist made for a truly unforgettable evening. We will surely be back soon. read more

This was a really nice experience! I'm not sure that we'd go over and over again, but I'm glad we went. The service is truly excellent - you really feel that the wait staff cares about you and the experience you have. The restaurant is a small, intimate space, with most tables close to the small bar and kitchen. The drinks were excellent, and I even enjoyed the bourbon drink my husband had. It was very drinkable and layered. Most of the foods were very tasty. The chickpea fritters were a standout. The fries, mushroom tartine, and overnight cabbage were also delicious, but just not as memorable. The one dish we didn't care for was the bar bites - just ok and not worth it. I would have rather had more chickpea fritters. The cream puff was also fun - easily shareable, and although tasty, like any other cream puff. All in all, really enjoyed this, especially some of the unique dishes and the friendly staff. read more

Awesome location in Rino! We ordered the fries with lemon aioli, the simple salad, the cabbage, and the pork chop! The pork chop was definitely the highlight. Crispy skin and so tender. It was in brown butter too, so just really tasty. All of the other dishes were kind of one note and the salad was extremely salty. The cabbage was so soft and was crispy, which I liked a lot. Our waitress and the hostess (manager maybe?) were very attentive and friendly! Would love to come back and try some other things and the Eclair dessert! read more

Everything my gf and I had here was amazing. The duck and the bass were both 10 / 10, but I'd have to say the babka and tartare were my favorite.

First benefit of a large group is the company. Second benefit is the ability to try 95% of a menu. A block away from Federales and Finn's Manor seems like an odd location choice for fine dining but I enjoy the vibes and choice to steer away from not too stuffy. To START: the Oysters Josh, after the chef de cuisine, is the way to go. Oysters topped with crème fraîche and caviar. Cocktails were all reviewed highly. My husband and I traded the Tropical Chancer and Portuguese Rendezvous, our waiters recommendations, and enjoyed how smooth (and fast) they went down. The JOURNEY: having everything but the antelope tartare, stand outs are the babka and panisse (polenta fries). Chicory salad was under whelming and subpar to the crunchy green salad, so stick with the latter. DISCOVER: the duck was a fairly small portion, only one small-ish leg. Tasty but small. There was a 16oz wagyu special for $90 that was the highlight of this section for me. The people at the table who had the bass raved about it. LANDING: cannot go wrong with dessert. Though the ice cream sandwich would be my vote if you only get one. The space is quite small, with tables lining around the open kitchen. The service was impeccable. Every touchpoint from the waiter seemed effortless and perfectly timed. read more

Drinks: we had a bottle of champagne for our group. Idk which it was, but it was crisp, bright and nicely complemented the rich food we had. The plates here are meant to be shared family-style (exceptional ones that changed our perception of the dish are starred below): the salmon was deliciously fatty and tasted like salmon should taste. The portion size was large enough it could probably feed one person. Beets were slightly sweet, rich soft cheese (probably a goat cheese). They tasted as beets should taste. *Savory babka: eating this reminded me of eating a well baked, fresh croissant in loaf form with a tantalizing flavor of rosemary and generous serving of butter. Great for sharing with the group. *Panisse: these chickpea fritters are perfection. You would hardly know they're made with chickpea, it's so creamy and smooth and perfectly crispy on the outside. You get 4 fritters, so you may need to order more than one plate. *Venison tartare: it comes with a generous serving of what tasted like fried root vegetable chips (possibly taro or some sort of potato), typical size for the tartare itself. No gamey flavor whatsoever! It was so good our group ordered another plate. *Miso Cabbage: I was skeptical about paying $26 for cabbage, but this is well worth it! Like a well-roasted artichoke, the cabbage is charred and crispy on the outside and soft and so delicious on the inside. This dish really elevated and changed our idea of what cabbage could be. It was about half a cabbage or so, a portion large enough we didn't need to order more of it. Dessert: cream puffs that made me feel like I was eating in the French countryside, the cream was so fresh and the pastry so well baked. Overall: Exceptional service and food. Small but wonderful ambience for a night out. The only downside is that this restaurant is located in the RiNo, which makes finding parking difficult. Nevertheless, I will definitely be back! read more

We had a wonderful waiter named Malinda who was FABULOUS!!! Loved the food, the chefs were wonderful. Only comment is the host who was tall, bald with a mustache seemed to check on every table in the restaurant except ours. I found it strange that he made a point to check on every table besides ours? Not sure who he is but as someone who values customer service I think it sends the wrong message to blatantly ignore a specific group of guests... read more

I'm a huge Bowie fan so I had high hopes for this spot. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. We were sat at the bar and it was HOT like we were dying. In addition to this the kitchen smell was super strong and really brought me back to my restaurant days with the dish water smell. The wine prices were sky high which was also disappointing. The positives were that the servers were very nice and accommodating! Overall, I give this place 3 stars. Didn't have the best experience but there's room for improvement! read more
