I didn't even really like my lobster BLT but here I am on Yelp giving this place four stars. Maybe it's because, as someone that lives near Satchel's, you should know that most places here suck if you aren't in the mood for bar food. Or rats (Pho on 6th). And maybe you don't want to wait three weeks (Fruition). It really is amateur hour on my damn street, so when I get good service in a restaurant that wasn't designed in the 90's by a soccer mom in Colorado Springs I'm pretty much in. The lobster BLT was not as amazing as it sounded, granted- but the fries were good, the beer and wine list was more than adequate, and I haven't even tried their brunch yet but I'm hungry just thinking about it. Satchel's reminded me of one of my favorite bars in east LA, The York, and i'll definitely be back. read more

I hate writing negative reviews. It's not fun to point out the flaws of a dining experience. Most of use would rather write a glowing review about the delicious food we ate and the awesome service we received. This just was not the case with my last visit to Satchel's. My friend and I decided to go for brunch on a Sunday morning. We did not have a reservation but noticed only 3 tables occupied so we went in. The host said that all the other tables were reserved, which was strange, and so we sat at the bar and ordered lattes. The lattes were good (bartender was great), I must admit. About 20 minutes later the host came over and offered us a table since, I guess, several reservations were canceled (and it seemed silly that 12 tables were still open and we had to sit at the bar for so long). Great. We were happy and ready to order. I got the crab cake Benedict (ordered hollandaise on the side) and my friend ordered the arugula salad with pear, apples and goat cheese. After a while the restaurant started to fill up and our order came about 30 minutes later. Hollandaise was all over my benedict. The chef, who brought it to our table told me the server never said hollandaise on the side and then he abruptly left. The server returned and offered to do it over but I didn't want to wait any longer, especially after more people had just ordered their food and it would take a while. My friend began to eat her salad and then noticed that there was no arugula. It was all mixed baby greens. We asked the server and she said, "Oh, we ran out of arugula. Don't you like mixed greens?! Sorry, I noticed that right before they served it to you." I was thinking, "Are you crazy? Do I order a steak and then you serve me lamb without telling me because you ran out?" Aren't you supposed to inform the customer of a menu item change before they order not just serve them what's available in the kitchen?! The kicker was before our server brought the bill she asked if we were using the Living Social deal, because a lot of people that day were using it. We were not, I replied. At this point I thought, well since we are full paying customers she might comp us the salad or give us a discount for all the blunders. Nope. Check came in at the full amount. Never again, Satchel's, never again. read more

Between hitting on the girl next to you in traffic while cutting off the guy next you, because you are not paying attention as you are racing down 6th ave, you have probably never notice this little joint. But this is a place to pay attention to! When trying a new place out I will over order to the point of explosion, but death has never tasted so good. Pork belly on fried green tomatoes, Arugula salad and Soft shell crab tempura and a Colorado beer of choice to start. Carefully crafted flavors that just refresh your pallet from some boring dish you might have had at some other joint here in Denver. I might need a few more beers to get through all of these plates. Nevertheless, the Duck is on its way and it made my day (night really). This was a delightful choice. There is something about duck that just can make a night and this dish was it. I loved the little mushrooms in the dish, place as if they were there to celebrate this sacrificial duck breast. All the dishes were cooked to perfection and I was stuffed on great tasting food and great Colorado beer. Yes, the patio can be loud with passing cars but inside is perfect. It is a great place to take a 1st date that would be off the beating path or your millionth date with the one you love. Even if you would like to take an employee for his last meal before you fire him to soften the blow. (that would suck actually) read more

If you are reading this review, and Satchel's is open right now, put away your notebook, tablet, or smartphone, get over to Satchel's, pick a comfortable seat, order a glass of wine and an appetizer, and start reading again. This place is that good. My wife and I visited Satchel's on back to back days last August. We enjoyed dinner so much the first night, we came back for a tasting menu dinner the following night, with our "adult kids". Their selection of wines is interesting, off the beaten path, relatively inexpensive, and fantastic. To be honest, I enjoyed their wines so much I don't have my usual photographic memory of each meal, nor the names of the wonderful people we met. The owner finds the wines, and named the restaurant for his younger son. Our waitress, a tall, congenial, blonde lady, was a terrific server. She was hospitable and informative. The busboy came out to our car with an umbrella, because we arrived in a downpour, and escorted us into the restaurant. At the end of the tasting dinner, we met the chef. We had thrown him a curve ball: we arrived with a bag of freshly harvested Matsutake mushrooms, hand picked in the pine forests of Northern Colorado and Wyoming. We asked him to incorporate these amazing mushrooms, sometimes costing as much as $1,000 a pound, into his tasting menu. Some chefs would have thrown us out of the restaurant for our presumption. Others would have simply said "no". This young man said "sure". He did a phenomenal job. I cook, casually. If a dinner guest showed up at my house and gave me a surprise ingredient to be used immediately, I would be at a loss. This meal was terrific, and the pungent, meaty mushrooms were a wonderful complement to the chef's dishes. I have been slow to write this review, but my enthusiasm for this small, unpretentious and wonderful restaurant continues undiminished. Visit Satchel's on 6th. You'll enjoy the time you spend there. read more

"an unexpected surprise!!" We went during restaurant week!!! had the scallops then short ribs the the brownie sundae... my wife had the mahi... everything was fantastic.... we are definitely going back ...great wine parings... great value.... we weren't that excited at first ...not being familiar with Satchel's but we were surprised by the passion coming out of the kitchen...small wine and some local beers only..... the chairs are rather narrow and not at all comfortable but tolerable for the food ..service is efficient and refreshingly NON rushed which is really rare in Denver and in the USA. GO! read more

My husband and I went to satchel's on 6th with a girlfriend for restaurant week. We picked this place out weeks ago and made reservations after I viewed an impressive and exciting menu. The moment we were sat, things started to go all wrong. The menu that was posted on the rastaurant week menu was changed because the old chef left and the new chef wanted to be adventurous. Big mistake! My husband is a rather picky eater. He turns his nose up at Emeril Lagasse. That being said, the new menu left much to be desired for him and sadly for me too. I had been dreaming of butternut squash lasagne for weeks! Now the reason this place is getting 3 stars and not 2 is because the manager came out and offered to have the chef prepare something special for my husband. Thank you! I had: the beet salad, butternut squash risotto, brownie sundae. The beat salad while tasty, was so tiny it was as if it was a scrap of someone's real salad. The risotto was flavorful, but it was runny and the rice was not cooked through. The shrimp were overcooked and so small they could have come from a sizzler. The dessert was decent, but not housemade I presume. I made higher quality ice cream in plated dessert class at Johnson & Wales. The brownie was rich, but nothing special. Husband had: chef special grilled cheese on brioche, chefs special sauteed chicken over mashed yukon golds, ricotta mousse. His grilled cheese while nicely sized, was burnt. His meat was bland and boring. The dessert was tasty... all 2 bites! Friend had: seared scallop(s), braised short rib(s), ricotta mousse. I used the plurals in () because they are listed in plural on the menu, but you are served a single scallop and single short rib. She enjoyed her scallop and I tasted her rib which was delicious. The waitress was decent, minus the eleventy times she came to our table to tak our food order, but not our drink order, even though my friend had her ID out the entire time. it took 20 minutes in between courses and These "courses" we're so small we needed no longer than 5 minutes in between! Overall the experience, the portion and some of the food really made my restaurant week experience a downer. We shoulda gone to Euclid Hall or Shells & Sauce... P.s. should you still decide to get food here after all this, take it to-go, unless your built like kate moss, because those chairs are so narrow and god awful! read more

I've been meaning to go here multiple times before and finally got around to it last night. The place was tiny, quaint, and oozed vintage vibes with the turn table in the front being key! The menu was small, but thoughtful. My roommate and I shared two small plates to start: Caesar Salad with white anchovies and Potato Gnocchi. Both were excellent with unique flavors. We then split the Braised Pork Osso Buco (big portion of meat) which was amazing as well! Our bartender (Derek?) was super nice and took the time to get to know all of the guests at the bar. The drink menu was great and they have an excellent selection of liquor to craft up anything. He listened to our preferences and created some classic cocktails that were not only strong, but exactly what we wanted. I'll definitely be going back to this joint and will be recommending it to my friends. It's nice to have a local spot with friendly staff and great food! It's unfortunate reading the bad reviews on here and I'd encourage those who wrote them to give it one more shot. read more

The best part of this joint is the ambiance and quaint vibe. Great place to go for some cheese and wine and conversation. Anything more than! Every piece of food after the cheese plate is NOT worth the price of admission. Lamb burger is only ok. (Highland Tap & Burger is the only place in town to ever eat this.) Steak and Frites were bland. Our waiter knew nothing of the wine and did a horrible job pretending. (Tip: a rose' can never be compared to "the bold flavor of a barolo." They are not even the same genre, server guy). The bartender made a weak martini too. Fortunately, we had a wine novice with us, so we at least had a nice bottle of red to go with the nice cheese plate. So. Only bother with this place if you don't ask questions of the staff and like cheese. read more

Loved the small sharable plates! I was so happy to have discovered this neighborhood gem. The intimate setting is good for a romantic dinner or catching up with friends. They have a good selection of wine and beer too. The prices are reasonable. It's relatively easy to find parking around here but valet parking is also available. Make sure you check out the cupcake and cheese shops close by! read more

Satchel's on 6th was a nice place for a girls dinner earlier this week. Super cute and fun environment. Our server was nice and was knowledgeable about the food and wine on the menu. The one time she didn't know, she was smart enough to tell us that and then she went and asked someone. When the bottle of sparkling wine that we ordered wasn't available, they brought us something at least twice as expensive and only charged us for the original bottle. That's a sign of good service. All four of us started with the soup du jour, which on this night was Curried Carrot Soup. We also shared the brussel sprout appetizer, which while good was a little small. For entrees, two of us had the short ribs, one had the butternut squash risotto topped with shrimp and one had the scallops. I agree with previous reviewers that the portions were on the small side and the shrimp that came on the risotto were embarrassingly small. It took an inordinate amount of time for us to get our appetizers (it's soup, don't they just pull it out of the pot?) but that is my only service complaint. I was a little surprised that they only had two options for dessert. We did get the chocolate decadence to share and it was quite tasty. All in all - OK to really good. Not the best place I've been but FAR from the worst. read more

Had a great date night here with my husband. It's a tiny place and we couldn't get a reservation, but sat at the bar, which was fine. Overall, loved the ambience, the staff and the food. It's a bit pricey for what you get, so that's the only reason I don't give it five stars. Food- The small plates really are small, so be prepared to order a few. My husband got the mushroom burger and was blown away... it's fantastic. I had the lobster sandwich, which was good.. wasn't blown away though. Apps- Had the fried green tomatoes and fingerling potatoes. Both very good, but again pretty small. Drinks- Loved the tea-infused gin martini! read more

Great neighborhood restaurant! Had the shroom burger and it was Delicious! We were a party of three and everyone enjoyed their meal. Andrew and team do an excellent job! read more

I could list all the issues with this place but i don't want to waste any more time on it than i already have. Shame as the space/ambience was great. Brussel sprout appetizer came out like a bowl full of boiled sprouts, literally. 4 diners, 2 entrees came out a good 14 minutes before the other two, and when they did it was literally like the prime rib had been scraped off the bottom of the pot. Owner tried to palm it off on the dish which was offensive before admitting that they were testing a new chef. All ended well as they provided a free desert, not for each dinner, but to share between the 4 of us (please note sarcasm) All in all, embarassing as we recommended the place to our follow dinners and we left feeling like we were robbed of $200. Not good at all! read more

Well loved by locals who get fabulous, attentive service. Those of us popping in, it is hit or miss service although once gaps are discovered you will be treated fairly on the bill. Food was good but not stellar for prices charged. No matter what, sitting at the bar on a chilly night makes you feel part of a cozy neighborhood atmosphere. read more

I've been meaning to post a review for years. When we drove across country with our dog from NY to CA in the fall of 2019, we got to Denver after a LONG day of driving and found this place via Yelp. How lucky were we?! Not only was the food and service great, but the decor and music .... And the community! This place has a real sense of community and gives back to the community. We were invited to come back with our dog for a monthly free outdoor grill, which we did attend. And as for the music collection - locals leave their vinyl records there and can request them to be played when they're eating or drinking there. So cool and unusual. The art was wonderful, creative and also local. The owner is the coolest guy who somehow remains cool despite working so hard. The whole staff was warm and inviting. The vibe is the best anywhere ever. I'd almost move to Denver just to have Satchel's be my local hangout. :) read more

A couple of friends and I came to Satchel's last night for restaurant week, completely excited for our meal. The minute we were seated, things went downhill, though. Okay, I'll be the first to admit that my posterior is larger than most posteriors, but sitting in the chair at Satchel's was PAINFUL. As soon as I sat down I felt mortified and wanted to leave. Both of my dining companions agreed that the chairs were awful. I've never experienced this at a restaurant! Don't you want your patrons to be comfortable and NOT rush out the door??? So we delved into the menu... Apparently they got a new chef a few weeks after posting their restaurant week menu online, and several things had changed. The menu item that my friend was looking forward to was no longer there, and there wasn't an appetizer that her hubby could enjoy. I also tried to order a glass of wine to help numb the pain in my hips, but the three times the waitress came to our table before I was able to order, she paid absolutely no attention to the fact that I had my ID out at the ready and was trying to ask her for wine! After we finally ordered, everything took FOREVER. I have never waited 20 minutes between dinner plates being cleared to be served dessert. And when you're in as much pain as I was sitting there, you want to get out of there as quickly as possible. The only reason there are two stars on this review are because they accommodated my friend's husband pleasantly, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the braised short ribs and they were AMAZING. The portions just left something to be desired. After having such a frustrating and not to mention humiliating experience at this restaurant, I will never be back. It's going to be hard not to wince in pain simply driving by. read more

A cozy li'l spot. I went around 5pm to beat what I thought would be a crowd, and had the place to myself (alongside a very nice woman at the bar with her child asking me if I were here to crash her party (wink-wink (that's her winking at me, not me winking at you, reader)). The exposed brick is fantastic, and the place is basically just tables along the walls with the bar dominating the floor space. I didn't mind the bar at all, though. You go to a place like Humboldt's, and the bar ain't kept well at all; like, the curtain at Oz's palace was pulled back. But they keep it classy here. The cocktails are slammin', too. I suggest the Long Walk. And any meal with the polenta. It picked up around 6:30-7, and a small joint can get loud. Killer music playing alongside classic films projected on the wall. Get at this joint. read more

We ended up at Satchel's on 6th based on a recommendation from my darling friend Koko. Of course we showed up on a Saturday night with no reservation (duh), but were seated at the bar right away. This is not an issue for the three of us, and the place was small and busy but it didn't feel congested at all. We were quickly greeted by the lovely Jessica, which was a great surprise since I know her from Platte St. We are not wine snobs and had no problem settling on a crisp light bottle of cava, it was exactly what we wanted. For dinner Jenny and I had both had a filet with duck fat fries, need I say more? We both loved our dinner. Dakota had the pork, and the star of that plate may have been the siracha risotto, but everything was delicious. Since we all ordered from the large plate menu we were pleased with the size of our meals, and we did not leave hungry. We had some dessert and polished off our bottle. I will say that the carrot cake, red velvet, and bread pudding were mediocre, but it didn't stop us from eating it all up! We will certainly be returning soon. Jessica was awesome because she is a total rockstar, but so was every other person working. We chatted with several employees as they were in and out from behind the bar. It was nice to find a great little spot where parking seemed to be in abundance. The atmosphere was fun and comfortable. The only small draw back may have been the funky movie that projecting on the wall! I don't have anything against people bathing in the Ganges, but I don't really want to see it when I am eating. Truth be told we got a good laugh from it, but it might not be for everyone. read more

What a great restaurant! What I look for is a casual, friendly atmosphere with great food. Some other well known restaurants have stuffy, overly formal feel. Satchel's is friendly and personal. As far as the food, I really like the small plate options: the bone marrow is fantastic! The asparagus with shaved ham and egg was great too. I already knew Andrew, the owner, who is always there with a warm welcome, and we met the chef: Jared Brant, who was really friendly and happy to chat about food. I will definitely be coming back! I can't forget the wine - Chad, the wine distributor working with Andrew has introduced us to some really spectacular wines. I am no wine expert, I really loved what he recommended. read more

Not sure if my review is still relevent because I heard the staff has completely turned over since I last visited. Everything I ate and drank was top notch. I heard the owner can be a pain, but I sure enjoyed the restaurant. retuned recently to see how the place is doing. it was very slow for a Thursday night. perhaps the screaming kids running around have something to do with that. the food is still pretty good and the wines are very nice. read more

My husband, mom, and I ended up at Satchel's on 6th while looking for a new local spot for dinner. Satchel's is tiny. Reservations are highly recommended. It's so cute though. It reminds me of a certain song, where the hi-fi was in the background, seriously they play the music on a record player including Sugar Hill Gang and Toots and The Maytals. The wine was in fact delicious! The dining room felt like it could easily be in anyone's house, complete with a chandelier, less the space hog of a bar right in the middle. It's a good thing the bar is there as since this was last minute, there were no available tables, so that's where we ended up sitting. As we perused the menus and venue, we took in a bit of the musicals projecting on the back wall. We started with a round of the pear and rum cocktail, which was very herbaceous and equally drinkable. As we tried to not down the cocktails, we looked over the succinct, yet delicious sounding menu. The house made pasta dish caught my eye with lamb ragout. Sadly, they were out of the pasta. When it came time to order, my husband and I got the burger with fried green tomato, Colorado chevre, and duck fat fries and my mom got the mussels. Another round of drinks and then the food came. Our burgers were cooked perfectly, aka rare. The duck fat fries were the perfect combo of crisp and tender. I wish I were able to have more of them though my mom kept helping herself. I would have tried her mussels (shallots, piquillo peppers, garlic, chorizo, butter, white wine) but they too were gone quite quickly. She said they were delicious and has already asked when we can return. We moved on to dessert and wine. There were only three options for dessert, so naturally we ordered them all. I got a glass of white burgundy (France), which I'd never had before and was so crisp and drinkable. I'd have to compare it to a pinot gris or chenin blanc. My husband got a glass of pinot noir from Oregon that was tasty. The desserts were a bread pudding, beignets with chocolate sauce, and a pear tart. We were informed that two of the three were made to order so there would be a bit of wait. We are not a quick dinner group. The bread pudding was the clear winner, great flavors, very tender with just the right amount of sweetness. The beignets were rather lack luster sans sauce, which seems like a bit of cheat. They were just a bit flat. I think maybe some spice in the batter might have helped a bit, even if it was just some vanilla bean. Either the pear tart used pears that were not ripe or they were not cooked long enough. The pastry dough was a bit sad as well. It was in desperate need of browning and was a bit wet if not undercooked. The mixture the pears were in either needed a pinch of salt or a lot more sugar, likely both. All in all it was a very delicious dinner served in a very quaint space. A very welcome, neighborhood gem we can't wait to visit again. read more

After reading the review on here, I have to say that I am glad I read them after dining at Satchel's rather than before, these reviews don't do the place justice. I headed to Satchel's on 6th for a birthday dinner with one of my girl friends. We went in on a Wednesday evening and had made reservations a head of time. The place is small, and it was crowded but not loud, a great atmosphere for a little neighborhood place. Our waiter was great with recommendations, from food suggestions to wine, which I always like at a new place. We decided to share and settled on a few small plates (fried goat cheese and crab cakes), a salad, and scallops. All the food was amazing. The highlight of the meai might have been the butternut squash risotto which came with the scallops but can be served on its own. It was the perfect creamy texture, warm and melt in your mouth delicious. We finished the meal feeling full but not stuffed, a good way to feel. I would absolutely return, there were several items on the menu that I wanted to try but just didn't have room for. read more

I so wish I could give 4.5 stars on Yelp as this would be a 4.5 star experience for my husband and I. We were a little hesitant going in as some of the other reviews were only so-so but we were pleasantly surprised. Satchel's is very cozy so be ready to get up close & personal with your neighbors; however I do think it is part of its charm. If you're going for a super intimate, private dinner I would recommend looking elsewhere. Satchel's is a place where your chair might get bumped or your conversation may be overheard. Now onto the important part - the food - so delish! We ordered the steak and fries and the fried chicken. I loved the steak and my husband loved the chicken - worked out perfectly. The steak was juicy and tender and the chicken was nice and crispy. My favorite dish of the night though were the dates - I am a sucker for good stuffed dates! Theirs were delish. The reason I gave Satchel's a 4 rather than a 5 is very similar to the other reviews - the service. Our apps came out almost immediately and then we waited almost 30mins for our entrees. I was shocked it took so long - it probably didn't help that we were both extremely hungry. Our server wasn't quite as stuck up as some of the other yelpers experience but he did not go out of his way to be overly friendly. Maybe it was just an off night - you never know. I would definitely come back to Satchel's - its a great neighborhood joint and if I can get a reservation and not wait, why not. read more

I left Satchel's tonight way disappointed. Restaurant Week menus are almost always limited offerings of the main menu, but generally offer great choices at a restaurant you might not otherwise visit. Satchel's posted menu on the DRW website looked great-- 5 courses with nice offerings and a great opportunity. But we arrived this evening to a menu vastly different than the posted one. Our waitress meekly replied to my boyfriend's question regarding the menu change that it 'read as 5 courses' but was really 3. No wonder they booked up immediately- too good to be true. That's the truth. The food was fine-- nothing special or out of this world. The burger was underseasoned and evidently a preformed (frozen?) patty. My pasta was good but drowning in sauce. Portions were exceedingly small and the desserts were not unique. Mousse cake was obviously preciously-frozen. Overall it was quite a disappointing start to Denver Restaurant Week. Here's hoping we get $52.80 (really $74) worth next week elsewhere!! read more

I had been wanting to go to this place for quite some time and finally did. It's was smaller than I expected but one might also describe it as nice and cozy. Not a huge menu but I think a Cheesecake Factory-sized catalogue is too much anyway. The food is a little expensive but not outrageous and, given the size of the place, I think it's understandable. Bottom line: The food was excellent. The website showed from what local farms they buy so I assume that all of the food is sourced locally and, if so, that scores big points with me. If I had any small criticism is that a few more beers and wines would be nice. Being unique and artsy/foodie is great but a couple of the staples like a nice Pilsner covers a larger demographic. All-in-all I loved the place. 5-stars! read more

Satchel's on 6th is a hidden gem! We have dined there four times, now, and I am impressed with their attention to detail. First off: I read some of the negative reviews and I cannot relate at all. Sure, it is a very small restaurant with an increased noise level, which can deter some folks, but I grew up in Europe and I think it adds to the charm. If you are looking for a spacious Applebee's, this isn't the restaurant for you. Also, if you prefer quantity over quality look elsewhere. Last but not least, if you want a waiter pampering you and holding you hand all along the way, get a life. The food, wine and beer lists are amazing and they do not disappoint on the delivery. While not overly large, I think the portions are just perfect. If you have not been there, check it out. I believe we need more small neighborhood restaurants like this. read more

This is an excellent place to go for dinner. It is elegant but very lively and comfortable. Wild Bill on the grill in the back knows what he is doing and our waitress had the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. The food is priced well for the high quality. Great selection of wine, cocktails, and beer. The vinyl spinning at the entrance added to the ambiance. Extra shout out to wild bills excellent work on the grill and our awesome server! read more

First impressions are everything and Satchel's impressed me from the get-go. We were greeted by African music (Zimbabwe frontline) which was a nice way to start a Sunday brunch. As I was seated I had a direct view into the bar and noticed that they had a decent selection of sipping rums, which is extremely hard to find in the U.S. Already I'm in love with this place, but then, I noticed they have a large grill outside and they are roasting a full pig for the evening! We started with some New Orleans style beignets with a side of dulce de leche (Carmel sauce) for dipping. I must say I enjoyed these more than the authentic Cafe du Monde ones because they were smaller, but much denser. The dulce de leche just took it to another level! We had the chicken and waffles and I must say it was an interesting take on the southern staple. It came with pieces of pear in the waffles. Although not the best interpretation of this dish, it was good. Quaint environment, great service, decent prices. I love this place! read more

Satchel's on 6th - Beignets with dulce de leche - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

Every neighborhood should be so lucky to have a restaurant like Satchel's. Chef Jarod Brant, formerly with Mizuna and Bones among others, is serving up some seriously delicious food all in a cozy neighborhood place. The idea is smaller plates, but not so small that you would consider them a tapas restaurant. The restaurant is fairly small but tables are not on top of one another. It is lacking in some visual interest - there's nothing on the walls at all, but somehow it doesn't stop this place from feeling warm. But the additional of something to look at couldn't hurt. Then again, who cares when they serve food this good! We started with the asparagus salad. It was superb. Asparagus, home-made ricotta, shredded ham, and a poached egg sitting on top. Wonderful. Next we had the mussels served with house made ciabatta bread. The mussels were moist and tender and we used every bit of the rather generous portion of bread to soak up the wonderful broth. My "main course" was the fava bean ravioli. It was served with pea shoots and finished with tarragon oil. The flavors really blended well - I only wished there were more ravioli on the plate! My husband had the steak and calamari for his "main course". It was served with a bright chimichurri sauce. One of the things that really impressed me was the friendliness of the staff and the way they worked together. We had a dedicated server but everyone seemed to pitch in to make our experience a good one. In short I'm thrilled that Satchel's on 6th is in my neighborhood. Though if it weren't, I would certainly travel to dine there! read more

I love this restaurant. It's the type of restaurant you keep coming back to. We had Sarah our first night and she was the absolute best. Very on top of things, so sweet Everyone that works here is amazing. Food is amazing. Great local vibe. Cannot wait to come back. read more

Love it! Very creative place.. farm to table! Amazing presentation ! Enjoyed every bite of dinner...

One of my favorite restaurants in Denver. The space is phenomenal, the staff is rad and the food is awesome. Very highly recommended. Great date spot. read more

At about 8:35 on a Saturday evening my wife and I decided to go out to dinner. We searched OpenTable and Yelp, and decided to try Satchel's on 6th. What a wonderful find!! The blend of flavors and the perfectly-sized portions, along with the lovely service, was enough to rocket Satchel's on 6th to the top, top tier of our go-to places for a simply wonderful dining experience. The owner was there and was just wonderful, interested, and truly interested in creating an environment that was as wonderful as the food. It's the kind of place in which one wants to hang out, enjoy the food and good company. Also, just a bit on the chairs. I'm 51, and have occasional back muscle problems, so I REALLY like comfortable chairs. I have no idea how anyone could not think they were comfortable. They're cool and retro, and my butt was quite happy in the long time we were there. As a matter of fact, my wife and I are going to try to find those same kind. They are bright red, and just add a totally cool pop to the place. Lastly, I read an article in the Denver Post from November 2011 that says the dress code is "casual chic". I called the restaurant to ask for a translation into English, and the owner answered. He laughed and said, "Come as you are. I have no idea what that means!!" Satchel's is wonderful!! read more

Great little neighborhood spot, plenty of delicious food to satisfy any mood, and the wine is always spectacular. I wish they had a small garden patio in the back, but I guess you can't win them all. Food and service are both excellent. read more

Nicee creativity with fresh ingredients and reasonable (not oversized) portions. Beautiful presentation. Attentive wait staff and good attention to customer service. We has a minor problem with one course and they handed us a gift certificate on the way out the door. Strong European bistro feel. Urban. Energetic. We will be back. read more

We really like this place. It is a neighborhood gem. We've been there many times and have always enjoyed ourselves most of the times. Their menu and wine selection are really great. Their staff is almost always pleasant. But...last time we went, with reservations, we arrived on time and they told us there would be a 30 minute wait. Not cool. Not really the way I'd run a business. We will go back, but not right away. read more

We were having an amazing time, enjoying ourselves and a delicious meal. Our server was amazing- he couldn't have been better. BUT then another employee, not our server, told us they needed us to vacate our table for future reservations. We were continuously ordering a lot and expensive things- not just camping. The table next to us had been there the same amount of time, if not slightly longer and were not told the same thing. I've never experienced such a thing from the hospitality industry, and I have worked in the industry before. I would have never expected that, especially at that price point. There are plenty of amazing restaurants out there that would never do this- I won't be wasting money here again. read more

Awesome restaurant. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff, all around a great time. Zach the bartender was tough to beat. Go vols.

I've only had drinks at the bar. Very professional service and a great, modern atmosphere. Spoke to the owner (Satchel's Dad, apparently): A down-to-earth, well-meaning guy. I like how they're unpretentious and low-key. The menu looks great. Satchel's is what Fruition should be. read more

This is our second time here and all I can say is hands down amazing! We first came for our anniversary and the service and food were impeccable! Second time was just as good. Drew our waiter is a well of knowledge and super friendly and remembers faces! Great neighborhood restaurant/bar and we are so excited to continue coming here and enjoying their amazing offerings. Everyone that works there is super friendly and its hands down one of our favorites in Denver. read more
