    Counter with one kiosk to the left.
    David R.

    Food is very tasty. Portion size is very small. Cashiers did not greet us or offer to take our order. They pointed us to a kiosk to order. Apparently the person in front of us had difficulty ordering so the line started backing up. Finally the cashier motioned us to walk up and order. Crowded eating area where a majority of the customers were getting McDonald's. Sandwich was tasty with fresh ingredients, but as you can see from the photo, about quadruple the bread to ingredients.

    I'm flying through DEN now, and my heart rejoices when I arrive or leave from the middle number C gates because that means tasty, healthy, reasonably priced food. $18 for a delicious and nutritious bowl with lots of protein before my next flight.

    I was on a very quick layover and had to get a bite before boarding. I'm always on the hunt for healthy meals and came across Modern Market. I quickly ordered the chicken and sweet potato bowl. Came out in very timely and I had time to eat it before I got on the plane. This is probably the best meal I've ever had in an airport. 10/10!!! It was so good, fresh, and healthy! Loved it! This is exactly what I was looking for - protein forward with healthy carbs, and the green spicy sauce was amazing! Appreciated the delicious meal!!

    For lunch, I ordered a Thai coconut salad, which was a bed of mixed greens topped roasted chicken, rosemary maple sweet potato, toasted coconut, cucumber, toasted peanut, pickled onion, cilantro, peanut mango dressing. It was an interesting combination of ingredients. I didn't necessarily loved it, but I didn't hate it either. The combination of flavors just didn't do it for me.

    Placing and receiving my order was an absolute breeze. They have a self-service kiosk that allows for a straight forward and customizable ordering experience. The customer service was brief but helpful. I ordered the the Smokey Chicken Bowl. They offered a generous serving of all ingredients - chicken, potatoes, quinoa/rice mix, tomatoes, slaw, and salsa. The chicken and sweet potatoes were wonderfully flavorful. The rice/quinoa was pretty bland but that is ok with the various ingredients to mix with it. The tomatoes and salsa, however, we're so spicy I couldn't taste a thing. I also ordered the Mac n' Cheese. They were cheesy with a hint of southwestern flavor, I liked it. The noodles were just a smidge overcooked for my taste (I prefer al dente), but that could be due to the time of day - I ordered at 730p, so it had probably been cooked hours ago and softened over time. I paid $26 for both items. Portions were large. All-in-all, it was a good meal but be forwarded about the spice & wowza.

    1.15.26: I had a layover in Denver and wanted to grab dinner without having to wait long at a sit down eatery. I also wanted something healthy, which is kind of hard to find at an airport without spending a decent penny. I came across modern looking for a pasta salad and to my delight they had healthy options. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and thought it was decently priced at under $20. The portion of ahi, veggies, and lettuce was pretty adequate and didn't leave me feeling bogged down. Greens were crisp and no signs of wilting, so that's a plus. Ambiance was hustle and bustle busy with travelers but I didn't feel I waited very long and I was satisfied with the value and freshness being it was "airport food."

    I love this place. The green chili egg and potato breakfast burrito is a showstopper. Awesome staff too.

    Seared Ahi Salad
    David C.

    I am a fan of going to Modern Market when I want a quick and healthy bite to eat. I assumed this location would be at least of similar quality to other ones I've been to before but that was far from the case. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and I was amazed at the lack of quality and care. First off, the salad just looked unappetizing and like it was just thrown together. Nothing was really seasoned or anything and the ahi was super cold like it was just taken out of a fridge. It tasted decent though. Service was pretty good with nice employees. Atmosphere is a little depressing there. It feels like a prison dining hall.

    I find myself at DEN a lot. Modern Market is my absolute favorite place to grab a meal when I'm in DEN. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast. My favorite item to order is the Thai coconut salad which comes with a peanut butter dressing. Absolutely delicious. It comes with chicken, but I also add tofu because their tofu is delicious. I always have to grab a curry sweet potato soup also. It's so good that I would to get the recipe and make it at home and eat it all the time. Casual. Modern is located near gate C31 in the Southwest terminal. Please come and create your own experience.

The staff was super friendly and helpful despite being overwhelmed by a very large party while I was there. They take their time making the drink because they clearly want you to enjoy them.

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.

Death & Co is a bar that has been on my list to go to for a very long time. We made our reservation ahead of time, which I would highly recommend you do. I almost didn't do it, but I'm glad I did because it was limited seating still. The inside atmosphere is absolutely amazing elegant, upscale. This is the place to be. We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking. All in all, this place truly delivers an amazing experience. The wait staff was able to make amazing recommendations on cocktails based on what people's preferences are. The food was truly amazing. If you like good food and great drinks, I would definitely check this place out.

This is a breakfast place and yet, for coffee, whole milk is the only dairy option offered. For me, if your business is breakfast, I assume coffee is your #1 served drink, to not have options for lattes is an easy miss. Providing skim milk allows you to make your own 2%! It also seems they had one non dairy option which, again, it's a breakfast cafe. I cannot make sense of it. Service was slow and spotty, which was particularly disappointing given the 20% included service fee. This fee notice is posted everywhere which I appreciated but if this is the case, you must must provide top notch service. Waited quite a while once we were finished for our check which is just unacceptable. That said I did love my breakfast bowl full of veggies - one of their summer specials. And I liked the hot sauce wall! Plus I love dogs and really dug the weenie decor. Despite the good food product, this is a restaurant where their policies and lack of options made me feel unwelcome. With all the great food spots in the area, there's nothing that would draw me back to this place as I'd like to have a latte if I'm going out for breakfast, and this place couldn't provide any milk option for me.
