The Plimoth has consistently been one of my favorite restaurants in Denver since it opened. Unfortunately, there have been foundational guard changes all around since my last visit about 10 months ago. As a result, the cookery isn't nearly at the level it once was. The cracklin chicken no longer crackles and that dish has been consistent over the years, regardless of the incarnation. Our experience was fine for an average restaurant but The Plimoth was way above average. read more

The wait staff at the Plimoth were very polite. The food was.......mediocre for the price. The whole wait staff complimented the corn bread so we bought 2. Came out with a nice presentation in the skillets. The corn bread was ok, and around $9 or $10 each. It was the width of a baseball, and served in a little cast iron dish. Emphasis on little. And they give you a spoonful of jam. 4 people had to get two of the breads and we each got a bite and a half. I ate a pork chop. Came out a smidge cold. Had tastes of chicken from my Dads dish. Ok. Overall there are better places in better locations read more

Amazing food and service on Thanksgiving night! We split multiple starters and entrees were excellent! Nora our server had everything covered! Will be back! read more

This is an excellent neighborhood restaurant on the north end of Denver. We heard about this restaurant from some friends. Parking can be an issue but once in the restaurant you will you will enjoy a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Good place to enjoy conversation with friends but don't expect quick service. The food is worth the wait! The cauliflower turnip dish was a great starter. The cracklin chicken was excellent. It was moist and tasty. The portions are not huge but plenty which I like. I enjoyed the experience and will return! read more

Ok, I'd never been here and really wanted to try it at 6pm with us planning on seeing a 7:30 movie. Not a good plan on my part. I am absolutely a multi hour dinner person, that is what the Plimouth specializes in. SO for those who complained about slow service, this is one of those places you book a few hours for, lean back and relax. Which is what I intend to do next time as we were in such a rush that I couldn't get dessert, and that's just sad. Ok. This place is super cute and in such a relaxed neighborhood. Parking is easy and it's so quaint! Our server was Elise, and she was awesome. Especially putting up with me and my poor time management. We started with bevvies and the chicken pate. The pate was awesome. All the booze lists were impressive. I had two amazing glasses of wine, my hubs had a really good beer and cocktail, and our friend also had a tasty cocktail. We then ordered the falafel, beef tenderloin, and veal. My friend inhaled her falafel, which I would take to mean it was good. My tenderloin plate was amazing. My husband got the veal. Now while he damn near licked the plate clean, I found the veal to be chewy and tough like leather. I don't eat veal with any regularity, but it would be my assumption that it would be able to be cut with a fork. Perhaps that's my fault at making that assumption? So sadly instead of ordering dessert and continuing our gastronomic journey, I had to grab my doggie bag and fly out of there like I didn't pay the bill. (I did, don't worry.) Until next time! read more

The service and mixed drinks here are impeccable so there's that going for them. The building is cool but the ambiance is boring. The tap beer was warm so we opted for canned and the menu was limited. I'm fairly sure the chicken pate made both my husband and I sick that evening. The fish needed more seasoning. The pork chop was cooked well. Nothing on our $150 tab blew us away so it's a Meh from me. read more

Fabulous service. Great wine list. Wonderfully fresh food. Not heavy at all. Very quaint and welcoming atmosphere, including bar-type seating at the window for prime people viewing. Timing and presentation of courses was on point. Perfect explanation of plates: their ingredients, preparation, marriage of technique. It takes all of your will power to wait (that lovely glass of wine helps) to eat after you order. Ambiance is ideal: family cooking (so many have lots of kitchen sounds, which are exciting but more invigorating vs welcoming); friendly smiles; happy and satisfied faces on every diner; soft conversations mingling with the sounds of the kitchen. Basically, the most exquisite dining room in your best friends' home :-) Was very well taken care of, and enjoyed every minute and every bite. I hope to return soon. read more

Dinner spoiled by rude, irritating hostess. My wife and I often dine at The Plimoth here in Denver. Its food is some of the best in town, and the servers are excellent and considerate. But our dining experience last night was spoiled by the hostess. We had made a reservation days in advance and requested an outdoor table, and we arrived right on time. We noticed that a two- person outdoor table was vacant and already set. We checked in with the hostess, and she informed us that we had to wait because she was "pacing the seating with the kitchen." I was employed by a top-notch restaurant in my youth, and I never had heard of such a concept. You always want to seat a patron and get them drinking because that is the highest profit margin offering. So, this really confused me. After waiting for 10± minutes, I returned to talk to the hostess and asked why we couldn't sit at the vacant table. She did not respond and walked past me and approach a couple in line who had arrived well after we did. She took them to the two-person, vacant table. She then took us down the street to an awful table on the sidewalk, rather than the one on the deck. At that point, I asked if we could get a table indoors since we did not like the remote, inferior table she had selected for us. She did not respond regarding an indoor seating and said this inferior outdoor table was "her favorite." This really set us off - rude and irritating experience. What added insult to injury was we dine their often and had donated money to their COVID lockdown fund, which was formed to help the employees. I think the word got around, and our server tried to make up for the bad seating experience. She treated us the glasses of sparkling wine and provided excellent service. We are not sure if we will go back. read more

What a great little spot which is described perfectly as a neighbourhood eatery. We celebrated our anniversary here and were not disappointed! The wine and cocktail list is good and you will be left having to make a game time decision as they all sound great. The menu I thought was simple but to the point. We started off with the Pork rillette and the farmers market greens salad which were flavourful and light. The pork rillette was a pâté style with pieces of crisped bread with a strong mustard on the side. With mains we had the Colorado lamb and the cracklin' chicken. The lamb was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The sauces that accompanied it were spot on with the right ratio of rice, meat and sides. The chicken was delicious, I do wish the gnocchi was a bit more prominent on the plate as I didn't think there was enough. The flavours came out with every bite and was thoroughly enjoyed! We finished off with the brown butter brioche which was very tasty, namely the brown butter and vanilla gelato. I wasn't a fan of the nuts but that might just be me. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy their delicious food. read more

We finally tried this awesome place and were not disappointed! Service was the perfect blend of friendly and attentive while leaving us the space and time to enjoy our meal and each others company. Everything was delicious- I especially enjoyed the halibut collars. The space is comfortable and well designed in a calm, non pretentious way that feels like the neighborhood cafe that it is, just with an elevated menu... well worth checking out! read more

Feeling pretty darn happy that this place is so close to home. I usually don't comment on service unless it is really bad because especially with some types of ethnic dining, service and ambience come second to the actual food. Happy to report that this place has a-mazing service. Our server, Mitch, was on point very congenial and knowledgeable, explaining in detail how the chef prepares their dishes. My hubby and I had two well crafted cocktails and shared the pork rilette and cauliflower gratinee which were both great. We also shared the brisket pot-au-feu, lobster a l'americaine and finished off with some house made gelato and the Gianduia pot de crème. Everything was really tasty and comforting, just what we needed on the cold winter night when we dined here. Definitely a neighborhood winner. read more

If you find food is part of your daily routine you may want to check out The Plimoth. Chef Pete is the head honcho over there and knows how to run a restaurant from his years teaching aspiring restauranteurs. The food/wine pairings and flavors are amazing and the staff is equally talented. Just like you would pay more for a Mercedes you will pay more than than eating at Chilis but you will walk away knowing you just had a very special dinner. read more

A small, quaint restaurant. Excellent food, wait staff, & wine pairings with their dishes. Highly recommend

The service was lacking from the start because of waiting at least twenty minutes for a starter cocktail. From there, the timing was erratic. Three of us shared five starter courses and most were ok but lackluster, hitting the mark most of the time. Would not go back based on the service and the fact that we were from the Bay Area in CA where there are so many choices of similar restaurants with "star" quality........ read more

This restaurant is in a quiet neighborhood setting that affords one of the most beautiful and comfortable and quiet outside eating areas in the city. The menu is short but full of interesting choices. The service is top notch. read more

This place is simple, elegant and delicious. I took my wife here for her birthday. While we were there, a friend walked in. She stopped and told my wife happy birthday before being seated at another table. Nick, our server, heard the friend tell my wife happy birthday. He came to our table with a couple of celebratory beverages on the house! And get this, my wife does not drink alcohol. She was drinking only water with dinner. As Nick approached our table, drinks in hand, we were worried that he would have two alcoholic beverages. My wife decided that she would drink the beverage to be polite. TO OUR DELIGHT, Nick had noticed she was not drinking and brought her a non-alcoholic 'fun drink' to enjoy! This made us feel deeply cared for! To top it off, the food was incredible. Perfectly cooked chicken and pork, balanced flavors and great portions. This was by far the best dining experience we have ever had! Thank you to Nick and the rest of the staff! read more

Heard about this place from a few of my friends but never made it around to getting there finally got there last week with a friend of mine. The hostess was absolutely inviting and full of energy. The food was great and the ambience is cozy. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because our server was not that great. We waited 15 mins for water. And another 15 minutes for her to come back and take our order only to tell us that our entrees would take 25 mins prep time, huh? Could you have said that when you dropped off the water and didn't acknowledge us? I just thought she was kinda rude. But everything else was good. Still on the fence if I'd come back. read more

I don't know how to rate a place like this; the food is very tasty but pricey. Does the tastiness justify the priciness? Are there places just as tasty but not as pricey? I don't know. I ordered a $33 salmon. Really delectable piece of fish, and the accompanying sauce and greens were the stuff that fat men have daydreams about. And what else will that $33 get you? A clean atmosphere with more personality than you'll find at Noodles and Company. Handsome, attentive staff who probably think we're shmucks for paying so much for food but would never let on. Free water refills. A sparkling restroom with cute little rolled up cloth towels. Yeah, so if you have a little money to spend and want a romantic night out with your little lady, I think you'll like it here. read more

Food is good, not great. Cesar salad with steak tips is a pretty uninteresting Cesar with some steak tips on it. However the service on the night we visited was awful. Took fifteen minutes to get our drinks! The staff seem to be trained to avoid any eye contact with diners. They did not clear our dirty dishes before bringing the next plates of food. I had to ask for clean plates after sharing the salmon collar. The wine was not served until pretty close to the end of the meal, although I could see it sitting on a server station for ten minutes. No dessert menu, when we asked for the check the server did comment "oh, you wanted to see the menu" They really need to do some staff training. read more

This year marked the 4th year in a row we've gone to The Plimoth for our anniversary dinner and they never disappoint!! They always bring us a glass of champagne to start our dinner celebration, which is a nice touch. The staff is super attentive and the food is amazing. This year was COVID and we sat on the patio. We were spaced far apart and felt safe, with the whole staff wearing masks. Back to the food - I've never had anything I've disliked. This year from the small plates menu we shared an heirloom tomato salad with herbed ricotta and grilled bread - fantastic! Plus always have to get the cornbread! My husband had salmon and I had chicken, both delicious. We'll continue to go for an anniversary and then some. read more

Everything was terrible. Don't go here. Actually, it was amazing and the server's recommendations from the wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert were perfect. The tomato and peach salad with eggplant purée was so delicious we ordered two. While the rest of the part ordered entrees with meat (chicken with unbelievable gnocchi, and rack of lamb), I opted for the grilled beet vegetarian entree and was not disappointed or hungry. For dessert we shared the chocolate chip bread pudding and peach cobbler. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to go back! Maybe I'm partial since the chef grew up on the east coast, but he knows what he's doing. You won't be disappointed. read more

Came here for dinner and drinks. Had one of the best cocktails I've had in awhile. Their cocktail list has lots of wonderful options as does their wine selection. Started with the Duck Tapenade and was blown away. Then ordered the Steak Frites for the main course that came out perfectly cooked. Friendly, attentive service. read more

We found the Plimoth via a yelp search, category New American. According to our server New American is a miss characterization, he said it was more accurate to say European. The Chef owner apparently trained for or studied European cuisine and my interpretation is that it's more Modern European than New American. Plimoth is at least $$$ so be prepared. We shared a salad, a pork loin entre and a dessert with matching libations. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will surely go again. We dropped in about 6PM on a Saturday evening and got a seat at the bar. Before we finished the restaurant was jammed, the Plimoth has a following. There is no TV bar so no Broncos crowd on game day which is dandy appropiate. The Chef owner is from Plymouth MA, Plimoth is an archaic spelling. Sorry Bronco's fans, even without a TV this in New England Patriots eatery. We are New Englanders discovering Denver and the Plimoth was a great discovery. You might consideration reservations, on a Saturday night for sure. read more

Where to begin... such incredible food and drink from start to finish. We've rarely had a meal where every cocktail, each appetizer, both entrees, the dessert, the service, the entire package was so squarely on point. We unhesitatingly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a remarkable dinner out in an upscale version of a cozy, neighborhood restaurant. A few highlights: we were just blown away by the cauliflower appetizer - sooo good - and in addition to our entrees, the date cake was just delicious. Enjoy! read more

Nice venue with attentive service and a cool vibe. I appreciate the seasonal menus and the vegetarian option(s) that are consistently on the menu. That said, my significant other and I tried the vegetarian chili and did not feel the flavors were up to the reputation that brought us to The Plimoth in the first place. The house pickled peppers weren't to my liking and the charred cauliflower introduced some flavor notes that recalled BBQ in a manner not fully complementary to the chili. The meal was fine overall, and the place was full, but for the price there are several other creative, satisfying options for a nice, vegetarian meal out that I will choose instead next time. read more

Went here for a date night and we were very impressed. Very neat and cozy feel to and the food was fantastic. The crackling chicken and stripah were delicious with great serving sizes read more

We had another date night at the Plimoth and once again, we were extremely happy with our experience. They finally brought their cast-iron cornbread back!!!!! It has been at least 3 years since the last time we found their cornbread on the menu and it was just as good as it was our first time eating it. Super buttery and flavorful, with a delicious apple puree on the side that complimented it perfectly. Our entrees were stellar (pork shoulder and Alaskan Halibut) and we finished it off with some house-made gelato. For around $130 for an appetizer, two entrees, one dessert, and two cocktails, I think the value you get for your money is pretty solid for a nicer restaurant. We can't afford to eat here more than occasionally, but I really wish we could. Also, it is wonderful to enjoy eating here without the Covid-restrictions from last year. The inside dining is lively, with a comfortable ambiance and lots of conversation. Their outdoor seating appears to be expanded since our last visit and would have been pleasant as well. I do want to give a shout-out to the servers at the Plimoth. Their knowledge of the menu, friendliness, and attentiveness is exactly the style we enjoy. read more

As a frequent diner-out, I have a bold statement... this was one of the best meals I have ever had while living in Denver! A cute, quaint location - this dining experience on the patio was epic. The food was remarkable and the service first-class. This place is no-joke - the perfect restaurant to make any date feel beyond special. A must try! read more

Best pork loin of my life. They were in the process of expanding their small space when I was there a couple months ago. read more

First time we tried to get into The Plimoth it was not even 5:30pm and they were already full to capacity. If you take nothing away from this review, make sure you remember that they are ALWAYS busy, and reservations are necessary. This is a small place that is quickly gaining a LOT of city interest. Why are they always busy? BECAUSE THEIR FOOD IS GREAT. Not only that, the prices are reasonable, with apps coming in at approximately $10 or less, and all entrees costing at or around $20. Take my word for it, given the exceptional quality of the food, that is an absolutely rock solid value. Now to the food. We ordered two apps: the cauliflower turnip gratinee and the pork rillette. Both were very good, though if you're choosing only one app, the cauliflower turnip gratinee topped with perfectly prepared boutique mushrooms cannot be beat. Our entrees were the beef shank with fingerling potatoes and the crackling chicken with shrimp etouffee, respectively. Both were extremely tasty, with the chicken edging out the beef in taste by a very small margin. Last, for dessert we split the pot de creme and that might have been the best bite of the night for me (which is saying a lot as I loved everything). Perfect consistency, perfect sweetness, perfect richness. Coupled with a cappuccino it was truly exceptional. **Run, don't walk, to The Plimoth.** If for some reason you can't make reservations, go at off times in order to MAYBE get a seat at the bar or counter. This restaurant is unfortunately quite small so seating capacity is significantly limited, and, given that The Plimoth is fast becoming one of Denver's premiere dining establishments, this is only going to get worse. Good problem to have, I guess. read more

This place is great, everything about it is. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the bartenders talent...the entire experience is delicious! The complimentary amuse bouche snack of blue cheese/dill popcorn was fun and appreciated. To start, we ordered the squash soup and the brussel sprouts with polenta. DANG, that squash soup was killer, I could have had a larger bowl for an entire meal! Our server explained they use squash broth and that as an end result makes a squash soup much more savory than usual. The brussel sprouts with polenta were very good, and paired nicely with the soup. The entree choices all sounded exceptional, I made an agreement with my dining companion that we could share since we both wanted both the duck and the steak. I have to tell you, they were equally delectable. The crispy confit duck was fall off the bone tender, the sauce was well balanced and went great with the dirty rice. The steak was cooked perfectly with a nice bearnaise sauce, and those 'parmesan smashed potatoes' were addictive. The space is lovely, and when the sun sets the lighting is so warm and cozy. The value of such quality food/ingredients/service is refreshing, I hope more eateries take from this. I was there on an early Tuesday night, and was probably one of the youngest people there, this is nothing but an observation. This place is going to change this neighborhood, it's already changed my mind to visit this area more often. yum. read more

I've been hearing about this place and it's been getting some great reviews so I decided to check it out for my birthday. Had to keep the group very small because I couldn't get a reservation for more than 6 people. And even then, 10 days in advanced, no earlier than 9pm. Ouch. Let's start with the good. The food was OUTSTANDING. Truly in awe of the chef. Excellent job with everything we had. The bad: it's VERY loud here. We couldn't hear our waiter, much less the person sitting diagonally in front of you. I think even a party of 2 would have difficulty hearing each other. This is definitely NOT a romantic restaurant or any place you'd want to go for some sort of soothing ambiance. The service was casual, SLOW, and diner-eque. Compare to Rioja, where I had been to the night before, and you'd think that this was a diner. Being one of the last tables there, we overheard the bartender and another waiter discussing opening the door to the restaurant to "freeze us out." Yep. They didn't want us in there anymore even though we ordered Appetizers, Entrees, and Dessert (and wine) and had JUST finished up with dessert. SO...front door opens. We start to freeze and decide to go ahead and leave. The INSTANT the last person walked out they closed the door behind us (after it had been open for 10+ minutes). REALLY? BOTTOM LINE: Great food, very loud environment, "eh" service, very poor customer service. You got the hard part right (the food). Please, fix the rest of your restaurant because food alone won't keep everyone coming back. Hire better wait staff or train them a bit more, don't make your customers feel like they are getting kicked out (don't freeze them out), and install some carpets underneath the table to help buffer some of the sound. read more

Just as awesome as the first experience. Stellar service with a new Spring menu. Settling on the ragout, I was not disappointed. But what really inspired me to return was the filthy martini. So smooth, effective, and not consumed with the Olive or vodka taste. They use the certain green olive that has more of a buttery flavor, which compliments the well-made cocktail so well. read more

Oh no, I'm breaking the 5 star chain here... Okay the food is good. I mean, really good. The pork cheeks, fantastic, the chicken breast, very tender and juicy (I'm not a breast fan), the carrot app delicious. The waitress really nice and attentive. But... for the price there are restaurants which are better. If their entrees were $5 less, they would get 5 stars from me. It's hard putting this place in the same ballpark as others at this price point. read more

My wife and I planned a celebration dinner for her new job. We reserved a table 12 days in advance. On arrival, we were given the option of sitting on high top chairs at bar-like seating where the both of us faced the front window or rescheduling for another day. Is it really that strange to want to face one another at a table when we reserved a table? We chose a different restaurant. It's sad, because I want to like this restaurant; we only live two doors down, but I'm not wowed by their service. We won't be back. read more

We were so glad to hear another place was coming to the neighborhood (pretty much stalking their every move)...and even more excited that is actually good! The influx of new "farm to table" places has proven to parallel the hipster movement, the more "different" they try to be, the more they are all the same. That said, the plimoth hits the sweet spot, creative menu (avoiding pretense), intimate setting (i.e. small, but you don't feel packed in like sardines), and of course friendly personable service. We started with the cauliflower turnip gratinee--amazing flavor. The house made chips were fantastic--perfectly seasoned, light and crispy. I had the pork with white bean ragout, greens and topped with an egg (I LOVE just about anything with an egg on it!). Hubby had the cracklin' chicken--loved it. We shared the Meyer lemon tart and each had their homemade limoncello and an espresso (our fave way to end a meal--it's like they know us!). Some other things I noticed that I liked: loved the old jazzy music selection, the atmosphere is just nice--warm and intimate, love the paired wine selections (I'm somewhat of a cork dork, but it's so nice to not have to think about it sometimes), and to the owners/designer of the space, THANK YOU for not doing the ubiquitous "community table," I get that they are a great space saver, but they are my very least favorite option. The bar along the window accomplished the same goal, but is more conducive to conversation between friends without having to compete with 4 other conversations. I honestly have no criticisms. Period. Just a nice place to have a really good meal. read more

Everyone was raving about this new "neighborhood eatery." so I booked a reservation for my love's birthday. First, reservations are a must. Thre are probably 30 seats in the whole restaurant, so it is always packed. I personally was not a fan of hw crowded the tables are. You can easily hear your neighbor's conversation. On that note, I"m not sure which "neighborhood" this eatery thinks it's in. There were a lot of older couintry club type people eating here. Not the crowd I was expecting given the location. We started our meal with the mussels and then I had the cracklin chicken and the fiance had the braised beef shank. I had a really hard time picking an appetizer. It was a combination of everything sounded good, but just not good enough to choose one over any other. As most other reviewers have commented, the chicken is the best chicken I have ever had. It had more of a creole/gumbo flair that I wasn't expecting. The braised beef was also incredibly tasty. To be honest, I have had better food, but it was still very good. What really makes this review lose a star is the atmosphere and service. In addition to the excessive noise, we had to wait about 10 minutes after being sat before our waiter even introduced herself (also worth mentioning that we had to wait about 15 minutes after our reservation to be seated). read more

I cannot believe I have not written a review yet! I live in the area and was told to go here by a colleague. This restaurant is hands down one of the top in the area. My boyfriend and I come here often and will continue to come here for date night. We love the staff, the food is always impressive and their cocktails are perfect. Pricing is a little high, but I'm only saying that because I wish everything were cheaper. It really is priced correctly for the quality. In every restaurant it's easy to set a customer off with poor details. This restaurant pays attention to all of the details and their customer service is always wonderful. Everyone appears to be happy and have great personalities. I love that the restaurant is quaint and homey. They are not trying to be anything more than what they are and they are certainly not anything less. They are honest to their food, cocktails and overall aesthetic integrity. read more

If you were to drive pass this place 100 times, you may only notice it once. It's in a block of deserted buildings, with this gem at the end offering a small but complex menu of the highest quality. I would agree with making a reservation, however it appeared on this Tuesday night that the restaurant was only occupied with scattered souls until around 6:30. So perhaps you can get in early during the week for a lovely dinner. Speaking of the food, the menu is small with a max of five entrees and five starters. There are plenty of drinks to be had of course, and wine pairings are suggested along with the food items. Very helpful. That being said, a small menu in my mind should ROCK MY SOCKS given there is (assumed) focus on each of the dishes. While it did not cause any sock rockage, it was a great meal with fantastic flavors at a decent price point ($16 to $20 for entrees). I would return in a heartbeat. Give this place a shot, you will not be disappointed. read more

Love! By complete accident we stumbled on this jewel. It was so great, we can't wait to go back. My husband and I went for a romantic dinner and quickly realized that not just the atmosphere was awesome but the food was spectacular too. read more
