    Steak Frites
    Amanda M.

    Just OK. Place was busy, your typical aspirational-upscale slightly-more-than-coffee-shop place you expect to see in Cherry Creek. I didn't see the sign noting a living wage until after I tipped. The fries were better than the steak. The red velvet was clearly not fresh and the frosting had no flavor.

    I've only been to Olive & Finch for breakfast or lunch, and my experience has always been positive. I'm not sure I'd like the order-at-the-counter, grab-seat concept for dinner, but it works well for me during the day. I especially enjoy their delicious pastries and artisan sandwiches, and I love just about anything they offer for breakfast. The Cherry Creek location has a contemporary feel, with plenty of natural light and a pleasant patio. I've been coming back year after year, and I hope they keep it up!

    Lemon Bar and Immunity Boost Juice

    I've come back to Olive & Finch multiple times since my first review and always enjoy my experience. I do think the prices are a bit high for a place where you're expected to bus your own tables and with a 2-hr wifi limit, but they are Cherry Creek and there isn't a ton of seating, so I understand - it's just why I still can't give 5 stars. Things I've had: lemon bar, juices, cheesecake, mocha. Everything is yummy! I was disappointed that the last time I got a juice they put it in a plastic cup despite me making it very clear it was for dine-in. Oh well.

    This is one of my favorite local breakfast options. Here in Cherry Creek they have equal amounts of inside and outside seating and on a sunny spring day it's a great spot for brunch. Order at the counter or grab a table and order directly using the QR code assigned to each unique seating. Food is fresh and delicious and arrives at your table very quickly. They have a huge selection of pastries that can't be denied. The strawberry poptart had my name written all over it. So good but too much for one meal. The breakfast tacos are so good and piled high with guac, beans, eggs, salsa and cotija. The breakfast fries are crunchy on the outside and tender in the inside. Perfectly seasoned. Coffees. Boozey brunches and all the in between here as well. Street parking and some on site parking to the south make this easy to get in and out of. Definitely a repeat.

    Good morning Cherry creek

    Love this place & the maple mushroom latte! The food is always stellar. And the treats are oh so good.

    Full disclosure - I adore Mary Nguyen, founder and president of Olive & Finch. She's an amazing person and dedicated to helping the community any way she can. I was lucky enough to attend an event where lunch was catered by her restaurant. What a spread! Fried rice, Dan Dan noodles, Asian slaw, O&F sticky chicken, tofu, mixed vegetables and spicy pork. I forget the exact names since I was too busy eating everything. Love, love the sticky chicken. The sear on the chicken was just right and the five-spice lacquer coating delicious. Highly recommend the restaurant for catering or dine in. Everyone attending the event loved the food.

    It's been many years since I stopped in and I'm so happy to say they are still offering great customer service with tasty food and good coffee! It's very clean in this location and there is a big menu for you to select from. Today I opted for the early bird special that they offer from 7am-9am. I got the 'high five'. The candied bacon was a little on the tough side to chew but still overall tasty. I got the pumpkin seasonal coffee offering and it wasn't too pumpkin-y (that's a positive thing) if that makes sense! I would stop by anytime I am on this side of town!

    Katie and her team at Cherry Creek O&F are charming, hospitable, and excellent at what they do. The menu offers a wide variety of options, providing many reasons to return. This spot is along my beaten path, so I have been coming in occasionally over some years. They have spacious indoor and patio areas. Remember to save a booth seat for me! My favorite thing to do here is writing and schoolwork. The people here are more than willing to help Thanks, O&F peeps!

    ~$8 O&F coffee that wasn't executed well. Pass.

    The owner reached out to make this right, which I appreciate. I admittedly haven't tried their maple mushroom latte again, but I've been back a couple of times for breakfast -- and the patio on a nice spring day is nice! I am finding their food / drink to be a little inconsistent, though. The same item (a breakfast hash) ordered on different visits had varying potato-veg-meat ratios and was *much* spicer the first time.

    Breakfast scramble

    I am sooo picky! Sorry in advance. Sunday morning right after opening... Ambiance & staff: Ample and friendly staff. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly. Funky entrance. Gorgeous pastry case with many options. Ordered breakfast to stay. Asked for our coffee w/ cream and they wanted to bring it to us, yet we had to go back inside to get cream after it arrived. Chocolate croissant was so pretty yet I clearly made the wrong choice. I found the chocolate cloying and waxy, overwhelming the bready pastry. Turned my stomach. Coffee was strong and hot in a French Roast way. As I prefer a lighter, floral flavor I didn't finish that although I'm sure many still like that variety, To improve, staff could either bring some cream, have some outside, or let us have it at the counter. No water brought to us; could have some available outside. On the pastry, I suggest a smaller amount of better quality bittersweet chocolate on a fresh croissant. My husband ordered a large jalapeno scone that tasted like BisQuik mix. Didn't finish. Not sure how to fix that. His breakfast plate was arranged quite lovely-- a scramble with generous amounts of cheese and loaded with caramelized fennel root. He asked for a side of bacon and it was added to the scramble, not a side. The toast was like large, dry croutons sans butter or jam. The salad was fresh and lightly dressed. Would recommend less fennel, correct use of bacon, and butter at least as it seems like old, dry baguette. We did not make any requests to staff for changes, since just getting our coffee was so odd. $42. Appreciated many things but just didn't come together

    Mezcal x soda water w/lime + a gimlet

    Came here for happy hour. Feeling nostalgic today so I stopped by on my way home. I got a gimlet and mezcal drink for happy hour. 3-5pm everyday also have some select food items. Service was amazing and the ladies were all very nice. Ambiance was pretty relaxed for a Sunday.

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. 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.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. 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.
