We had a large…read moreparty -- 11 people -- but the restaurant gave us a lovely table by the window facing Pearl Street. My half of the table ended up ordering one of everything in the hot tapas section of the menu and two pitchers of sangria. The tomato crostini was so nice and crisp. The focaccia was toasted to perfection, the slow roasted tomatoes had a bright and rich flavor, and the olive oil drizzled on top pulled all the flavors together. The meatballs were incredibly flavorful. Everyone loved the croquettes, which were nice and fluffy inside. The baked goat cheese was incredibly creamy and the honey gave it a wonderful sweetness. It was delicious on top of the slices of baguette they were served alongside of. The champinones/mushrooms were just alright to me -- they had a dark, earthy flavor but I wish it had a more complex flavor profile. I felt similarly about the fried artichoke hearts. The lamb sausage was delicious and had a nice heat to them. We were also served bacon wrapped dates, but I found the dates to be too sticky and sweet. We also ordered every dessert - caramel flan, basque cheesecake, and chocolate cake. I found the caramel flan disappointing. I prefer my flan to be more solid, but this one was mostly cream that was melting on the dish once you dug into it. The cake was good and paired well with the ice cream and candied almonds it was served with. The basque cheesecake was also okay, but I think I enjoyed the apricots it was served with more than the actual cake. Overall, very beautiful restaurant with great tapas.

We loved the space, sat the bar and chatted with the woman working (I'm sorry I don't recall her name but she was great!) while we perused the menu.

I was pretty hungry but we were assured that the small is perfect for two and she was absolutely correct. The board was presented beautifully with a wonderful combination of cheeses, nuts, fruits, and meats. It went so well with their wines.

It was about a 40 min drive from Denver, and when we arrived, we found plenty of parking in their free lot. The space itself is so beautiful. There are gorgeous views of the mountains, the gardens, the farm, etc everywhere you look. The food was fantastic!! They sat us in a private little greenhouse, which had a fan and windows to control the temperature a little. Every single course they brought out was so well thought-out and executed. Eric, the owner and head chef, personally came by to explain each course and how it was made. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and clearly passionate!!!

The pastry chef, Annaliese (?) put such care into each dish. The finger limes on basil panna cotta with arugula gelee were a real chef's kiss. The mussels with tuile toasts and baby cornflowers (that we watched Chef sprinkle with tweezers) was beyond! My favorite pairing was the sea bream with baby gourds and champagne. As everyone's photos attest, this is an art form!!! Loved from the first bite potato puff with caviar to the last grappa truffle. Mostly it will be the warmth and smiles that are remembered!!

The platings were quite beautiful. The wine pairings were a delight. My expectations were set high, as their many accolades suggest. We both got the full experience with their friulano tasting menu. And also added on the caviar course. That may have been the only highlight of the meal. And I say that because the cheesy potato it was served on was absolutely delicious, although it was an odd pairing for the flavors of caviar which did not elevate the caviar in any way. The cheesy potatoes seemed clunky and too rustic to enhance the caviar. It would have been better served with a red meat or heartier protein. After that, absolutely nothing stood out to me as being uniquely delicious. The squid ink pasta was a major let down as the squid ink was so overpowering in the balance of the dish. Probably my least favorite course, although even that is debatable. This was a very salty dish, the first of many to come. One of the major takeaways from the meal as a whole, was how overly seasoned everything was. I am a salt fanatic and I really enjoy salt, however nothing seemed balanced when it came to salt. Just way too salty on several courses. Almost as if their proteins had been in a brine just a little too long. Although that's just a guess.... I'm glad I had the opportunity to try this restaurant however I would not go back again. It has been my experience that some places, once they earn James beard and Michelin recognition, almost give up. As in point Joel Robuchon, who lost their Michelin status. Highlighting more locally grown, seasonally harvested ingredients and showcasing them to their fullest potential in unique and innovative ways is much more impressive than caviar on cheesy potatoes. Btw, the cheesy potatoes, if served in a smaller portion, would have been an excellent accompaniment to the very salty red deer course. The desert course looked pretty and some elements were good, however not innovative nor original. Quite the lackluster afterthought, which again, was subpar.

The Kitchen is an American farm-to-table restaurant with an interesting gimmick: everything on the…read moremenu is meant to be shared from the appetizers to the main courses to the desserts. I came here for dinner with my husband for a work dinner and our party had seven people total. The Kitchen had a modern and rustic feel to it and the server was quick to show us to our table once our party arrived. We weren't really sure where to start, so a server recommended a few dishes for us to share and everyone ended up picking 1-3 dishes each. We started with a few appetizers: carrots which were slow roasted until they were tender and served on a bed of fluffy, whipped feta, crispy cauliflower which was fried until the exterior was nice and crunchy and served alongside tender carrots and a sweet tamarind chutney. My husband ordered a rigatoni which doused in a fresh bolognese, slices of parmesan, and fragrant herbs. We also had scallops as per the waiter's recommendation, but we were disappointed when only two scallops came out. It would have been nice if the waiter had mentioned that there would only be two scallops served, especially knowing that our party had 7 people. We also had crab fried rice, which I wasn't much of a fan of due to the saltiness of the dish. I ended up ordering the trout, which seemed to be a favorite around the table because of the crispiness of the skin. The sweetness of the candied pine nut crumble contrasted so nicely with the fish and the creaminess of the dashi yogurt paired well with everything. We also ordered a few meat dishes: pork belly which was incredibly fatty and tender and had a sweetness due to the brown sugar curing, espresso-rubbed wagyu skirt steak which ended up being fairly disappointing to everyone (the marbling of the wagyu steak wasn't quite as rich and fatty as I'd expect for a wagyu), and a double-cut pork chop, which was also incredibly tender and delicious. We also ordered a side of fries and everyone was so surprised by how large and thick the fries were, although it wasn't too different from other fries you could order elsewhere. It was a fun and interesting experience eating here, although I'm not sure I'd recommend it as it's rather pricey. It's fun to eat with a large party, though. The service can also be incredibly slow. It took a while for us to get the check or to flag down staff to inquire about the menu. We also had to fill our own water, which was a little disappointing considering the price point of the restaurant.

We walked in without reservations on a Saturday evening and was lucky to have the option of dining inside or out. We were seated in the corner, which was fine except for the flies that would get trapped against the window and buzz right around us. There weren't really any other tables in the middle of the restaurant available, so we sucked it up. During the day, it was very brightly lit. But once the sun goes down, it doesn't become very dark. We were given menus by the hostess, but there was a slight delay with water service and what not. Eventually, our waiter did come by to talk a bit more about the menu. (I should note that the table was only set for a party of two and we were a party of four. So, it wasn't until our first dish arrived did they notice that we were missing tableware and plates for the rest of our party.) We mentioned that we'll be sharing a bunch of things, so this is what we ordered: The food came quickly and we did have to make room immediately. I do wish they would have paced it a bit better though. * Beet Salad $15 - They were kind enough to split this in two plates right off the get go. Since it's called a Beet Salad, I did expect a bit more beets than what was given. 3/5 * Roasted Bone Marrow $16 - This was a gorgeous presentation with three bone marrow halves topped with a little red trout roe. The accompanying buttered crusty bread was just wonderful. Although not everyone enjoyed the fig vinegar, I loved this dish! 5/5 * Fried Anchovy Stuffed Olives $12 - My mistake was seeing "fried anchovy", so I was surprised when the olives showed up. It was a lot of salt on salt. It was just okay for us and was the last thing on our table. 2/5 * House Pâté $18 - Another wow dish! The house pate was delicious! The Little Gal pretty much planted that in front of her so she could just focus on that. We did need to order more bread to enjoy all of the pate though. 5/5 * Tartare De Filet Mignon $20 - This was another favorite dish of ours and we ended up ordering another! Loved the red trout roe and crostini that came with it. 5/5 * Moules La Marinire 1 lb $27 - The mussels were so well cleaned and the sauce had so much flavor. It also came with a crusty piece of bread to soak up all that amazing sauce. 5/5 * Peach Cobbler - Before we ordered, I did ask if they had a dessert menu as I wanted to gauge how much food to get based on what desserts were available. Our waiter mentioned they had only two peach cobblers available and could put one on hold for us if we wanted it. And he did rattle off a few of their regular dessert items too. Since this peach cobbler seemed so exclusive, we did ask for that to be on hold for us. When it did arrive, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't sweet enough for my preference. I'm not sure if it was because the peaches weren't sweet or there was a lack of sugar in the cobbler portion. 3/5 * Beignets $12 (to go) - As we were leaving, I asked one of the floor managers if they typically do something for birthdays and he confirmed that they do. He then asked if they had missed something, so I reluctantly told him that they did. The Husband did mention to the two waiters that we were celebrating a birthday, so he had told the staff. I thought that maybe because the peach cobbler took a bit longer, maybe it was forgotten. He apologized profusely and offered to send us with an order of beignets. We were pretty full and had a drive back, but he insisted and said it would only take a moment or so. So we agreed and I waited for it. The order came with 10 little freshly fried doughnut holes, lemon curd, raspberry gelee, and strawberries. We headed to the car and I enjoyed a few there. They were just okay though, nothing really special. 3/5 Overall, there were some really great highs and a couple of lows. I appreciated how the manager tried to make up for the error and did ask where we were seating, so I assume he could address it with the staff. We REALLY loved certain dishes and would return again for those. I would still rate this highly because we did have a generally good experience. 4.5 stars
