Amazing spot. We sat on the patio which was cute with lots of flowers. Our favorite dish was the fritters and lamb meatballs. Would recommend for sure!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is a very small, quaint space, so I would suggest planning ahead with reservations. The parking is also challenging so you may need to allow extra time. The service and food was good. I loved my cute cocktail and the scallops were probably the best thing I ate.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
