Food good. Evening spoiled by attempt to over charge on wine. Refused to take responsibility. Don't like this kind of con or sloppiness.

We ordered take out last night and I had the mussels and French onion soup. While my expectations for these things as take out were limited...boy, was I wrong! It was FABULOUS! I cannot begin to tell you how delicious the French onion soup was. Probably the best I've ever had. The white wine sauce on the mussels was Devine. Enjoyed this restaurant before Covid mess...and hope to return soon...but in the meantime...Take it Out! read more

Don't get the lamb. Went here for my birthday and was pretty disappointed. As we were figuring out what to order, I said to my boyfriend that I'll get the lamb since I'm sure they'll make it better than anything I could do. Much to my surprise, I was proven wrong. I very rarely ever complain about food at a restaurant - either to myself or to the restaurant. The lamb dish, which happens to be the 2nd most expensive item on the menu, was incredibly plain. The boiled vegetables and mashed potatoes I'm not even sure had salt on them. The lamb itself had no flavor other than plain lamb. The 'sauce' was barely existent. My boyfriend, who had the Parisian Chicken, which was rich with flavor, tried mine and agreed. When I asked the waitress for more of the same sauce that comes with it, she brought some. It was still pretty light in flavor. She then offered to ask the kitchen to make any of the other sauces on the menu. I selected one; it was better. At the end of the dinner, they ended up charging us $3.50 per sauce. I was appalled. $3.50 for more of the same sauce that came with the dish? And no mention of a charge when offering the second sauce? (I did not ask for the second sauce). I've been to restaurants where they'd offer to replace the entire dish for free if it was unsatisfactory. I was already pretty disappointed by my birthday meal that I didn't even want to bother to ask about the removal of the sauce fees. The handling of the situation was pretty poor from a business standpoint as the waitress already knew it was a special event and that I was already unhappy with my meal. Additionally, if you still choose to go to this restaurant, make sure to reserve outdoor seating when making a booking. I didn't know that the outdoor seating would book up as quickly as it does. Inside, at least the area we sat, we could hear every dish drop, every order communicated, and dishes clanging throughout the meal. Also, the seating can feel too tight (not even in regards to covid) for a comfortable experience. Overall, not even taking into account the French food I've had in the past, simply the average restaurant food I've had anywhere, I wouldn't recommend this place, at all, and especially not for a special event. read more

Fantastic service and wonderful wine, crepes and entrees. Highly recommend! Better than bistro vendome.

It's with mixed emotions I write this review. Both the food and wine were delicious. My husbands meal was probably one of the best we have had in a very long time (Parisian chicken)... but after a misunderstanding of my order, which was steak and frites but I just got frites, the service was overall horrible. We were both out of water the entire meal and instead of apologizing for the mishap, there was just a weird vibe. I would have been able to look past this if the rest of the service felt sincere, for what other reason do you go out to eat, right? I would be willing to try the place again, but we have not received such poor service at a restaurant in a long while. read more

Amazing food, bad service. Our waitress seemed so uninterested in helping us all night so we assumed she must've had a bad day. Nevertheless the food was fantastic and we would definitely return for that delicious French menu. read more

Pros: nice patio. Cheese plate was really nice - plenty of cheese and crostini, with fruit and some ricotta toasts with honey. Good happy hour -- half-price bottles of wine till 6. Cons: the dinner menu is pretty limited. If you don't want to spend $25+ on an entree the only option is a crepe. Not that crepes are bad, but $15 for a pancake filled with some cheese and a little bit of ham seems pretty pricey. read more

I've worked for both Bon Ami and La Merise for the past 3 years. I'm writing this review to shine light on the lack of morals and ethics regarding one of the owners, Elena. First I'll say that yes the food is great. The menu was created by a chef who studied at the Culinary Institute of America (Scott). He gave 6 years to La Merise and created most of the specials and dishes that are still on the menu. In early 2018 Elena fired him and directed the wait staff to lie to the guests about who the new chef was. That's because the new chef isn't white and doesn't have a culinary degree (although he's an amazing guy who works very hard and deserves recognition). After coming back from quarantine the staff was not met with a plan of action or a meeting regarding the new covid 19 policies. Instead we came back to her proclaiming that the pandemic is fake and a conspiracy. A few weeks after reopening a guest called the health inspector because Elena and her sister, Vita (co-owner of Bon Ami) were both "working" in the establishment without face masks on. Elena received $200k from the ppp loan and not one employee saw a dime of it. Instead she increased the waitstaff tipout (without telling anyone). A tipout that goes to herself and her family members (who are the only managers). She has fired long time employees about questioning her for illegally stealing our tips. She's forced employees to work without tools or guidance while being understaffed. She's not a person who deserves the money or business from well intended people. After being in the service industry for more than 15 years, I've never witnessed such flagrant disregard for the well being of people from any establishment (especially from an owner). Looking back, I've witnessed her bully her employees and manipulate so many people with passive aggressive actions that I'm disappointed in myself for thinking that I could make the place better by being a solution to the problem. I hope that the remaining staff finds themselves in a good position whenever karma bites Elena. read more

Bon Ami - Guest comment card about Elena and Vita. - Creperies Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First time to this neighborhood gem; amazing mussels and the seafood crepe is a winner.

I can confidently state that Julia Child would approve of the Beef Bourguignon. It's by far the best I've tasted, and I was visiting from New York, a city that is home to, some say, a few of the world's greatest restaurants, many of which attempt this dish and, in my opinion, have fallen short. Always a fan of cozy little French bistros (Zazie in San Francisco being the closest to my heart), I was thrilled to find one in my hometown of Denver that is cozy and warm, unpretentious and entirely inviting, and perfect for a reunion with my closest friends. I was also pleased to not be judged when, while waiting for my friends to arrive, I devoured an entire platter of Brussels frites. Apparently the outdoor space is a must-see; the chilly December darkness kept us in the dining room, which was, as I said, casually idyllic. Please don't ever leave Denver, Bon Ami. You're a true gem. read more

This is now my go to local spot. We tried it for the first time last night, we were so impressed! The crepes here are the best I've had, it's is now our fall goal to try them all. Unfortunately we were too full to try any of the desserts but they are definitely on the list! read more

délicieux! We have been twice and the drinks and food are delicious. The cheese board is extra special: not only yummy cheeses but also apples with sugar and crostini served warm with honey. The little outdoor patio is very pleasant and several people had their dogs with them. It's a lovely place and a few restaurants have failed at this location, so please give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place was bumpin!! I got a crepe and it was scrumptious. the waiter was so kind! Good service

We were so excited to try this place. I will start with the positive - the bread and French onion and potato soups were good. The not so positive includes a long list. The hostess experience is odd - you wait at the front door until someone notices you. We sat in the front room which includes the bar area. So the bartender is your server. We waited for a long time to be served so someone, who seemed to be a manager, took our order. Next, the main entrees. We ordered the cordon bleu and Le Merise crepes. Mine came out cold and had to be sent back. By the time I got my dinner the others at the table were done eating. Neither dish had any flavor. They should have taken care of us in some manner. No one said anything about our food being cold - they just seemed annoyed. We won't be back. Overall - meh. read more

Jaymy's gave us the best service I've had at a neighborhood spot in a long time! He kept the wine flowing and the jokes coming! Besides that the food was phenomenal. Will definitely be back, probably tomorrow! read more

We are in the neighborhood, and we just had to try it once. And boy we were surprised of this little gem.

My wife and I have eaten here a few times now since moving to the neighborhood and love it! They have amazing happy hour specials, great appetizers, awesome crepes, and a very nice drink/wine selection. We'll continue coming back! read more

Ok. Lovely spot and ambience though not exactly French. The ham and gruyere Crêpe I had was all ham and mornay sauce - couldn't see or taste much gruyere Hubby's eggs Benedict with corned beef hash - the Benedict was good, the hash was straight out of a can. My Creme brûlée was good. A nice spot and good food if you don't know the difference between real French food and what they serve read more

Wow! A great surprise. From the French Onion soup to the Cheese plate to the crepes. Scott and his serving staff were very attentive. We came on the early side around 5:00. It was a Monday. I'm sure the weekends will be busy We were inside but they have outdoor seating on a nice patio. Dessert looks awesome for next time! 5 Stars for me! Dan from Denver read more

Bon Ami is one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The quality of the food is fantastic and the flavors are incredible. The patio seating is perfect for summer. Great service every time. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for unique food with reasonable prices. read more

My whole experience was delightful. Even with only a month or so under their belts, the staff has it together (despite a persnickety clientele). The Parisian chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and moist in the inside, the mashed potatoes were lightly seasoned and the veggies were a nice combo and were crisp-tender. I will be back. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! My wife and I went last night after just returning from France (a "vacation withdrawal" meal) and were so impressed. Approachable wine list is nice. Great patio and indoor space has great touches as well. We had the cheeses, pate, crab/avocado salad and the French onion soup. All were top notch. Then the desert list....wow. Service was also very friendly and speedy. Go here. read more

I'm glad I decided to take the time to write a few reviews on places I had recently visited, because when I put in "Bon Ami" in the search box and saw that there were only 2 reviews and one was just bitter, I thought it was important to give credit where credit is due. I came with a large party (8) on day 2 of opening. We had made a reservation and were promptly seated the patio at a large, comfortable table. The patio was moderately busy for being mid-week, likely due to the weather. Regardless of the crowd, we had an attentive waiter who patiently came back a few times since our party was caught up in conversation and was distracted initially. He kept the glasses full and the bread baskets full. The menus is about 50/50 crepes and standard French fare. I was in the mood for Croque Madame, so when I saw it on the menu my impulse was to go for it, but thankfully we all decided to try a different crepe, despite it being dinner. The crepes were simply delicious. There was a wide variety to choose from, from German-influenced w/ sauerkraut and corned beef, to the seafood themed. The Stroganoff crepe is a meat-lover's dream. All off our food came out together, and hot. We sampled each others as well. While I thought I might be unsatisfied since I came after 2 hours at the gym, we were all quite satiated by the end. I live a block away, so I'll be back. Often. read more

Great spot. Elizabeth gives consistent excellent service. We just moved in the area and will be here once a week!

A great addition to our neighborhood....and that is saying a lot! Good food, the place looks great, and a fabulous patio (and not on a noisy, busy street). Had to try the crepes and so we shared a light vegetarian one and more savory meaty one. Both were very tasty. Also ordered the Caesar and beet salads...again solid choices. Finished by splitting a strawberry, tres leches crepe. Yum. Great wine and cocktail menu, decent beer menu. Enjoy! read more

Love this place! Food, wine selection, patio space and location are excellent. Don't be deterred if you're not into crepes, they have lots of delicious non-crepe options. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is fantastic! Great food, service, and wine with a cozy French atmosphere. Good patio as well. Bon Apettit!!

Wonderful breakfast find. Different menu and everything we ordered was delicious. The ricotta pancakes should not be missed. Our new favorite breakfast restaurant. read more

Go here with a small group or on date night! Such a great atmosphere, friendly service, awesome wine.

I absolutely love this place & considering I live 2 minutes away, I come often! Unfortunately I am super disappointed with this visit. I originally arrived at 3 & although there was an "Open" sign, was told they would be open at 4. I thought that was strange, but instead of eating somewhere else I decided to wait it out. When the time came, Joseph was my server and he was very short; dropped things off & walked away. When I said I was finished (I wanted to order more, but decided to cut it short), he cleaned up real quick and dropped the check off. When I gave him cash, he asked if I wanted change (normally I would've said no) but he wasn't very friendly. When he dropped my change off, he simply tossed the book and left. No, "good bye" or "thank you". It was very unpleasant considering I waited to eat here, & I understand people have bad days, but it ruined my mood. Every other time we've come, the servers are awesome & before, I could trust that it's money well spent coming here. It's unfortunate that is no longer the case. read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood and to Denver! All the French favorites and then some. Big crepe entree selection. Everything we ate was delicious! Great happy hour specials ('till 6pm). Wonderful space and adorable patio. Excellent, attentive and professional service. Perfect for a date :) Highly recommended! read more

Service was great, ambiance was great. The crepes were delicious. The soup of the day was lobster bisque (which I love) so we ordered it to split. It came out cold and tasted like fishy tomato soup. Other than that everything was great, bottomless mimosas are always a plus ! read more

One of our favorites! Bon Ami feels like a little trip to Paris. The outdoor patio is quiet and shady. And eating indoors is lovely too. The food!! Crepes and the most divine bread! Everything we've had is delicious. read more

Just a lovely evening with great food and service. Mussels were in an amazing broth and the selection of crepes made it hard to choose we will be back and the patio will be wonderful as the evenings get warmer. read more

Love this place! Their happy hour is amazing (hello, half price bottles) and the cheese board is also incredible. We have been here 3 times and every time service was friendly and fast. read more

My first time having French food and it did not disappoint. Everything was full of flavor and it had a healthy richness. I can't wait to come back. The service was excellent too. read more

Such a gem! Highly recommend the steak frites, crepes and their happy hour is an awesome deal. Staff is lovely and the patio during the summer is an oasis. Great food, atmosphere and people. read more

My husband and I treated my sister and brother-in-law to a NYE dinner at Bon Ami. We were seated at 8:45 and felt rushed from the moment we sat down. By the time we ordered, multiple of the specials that our table was planning to order were sold out. As we finished dessert, the restaurant noisily closed down around us. I felt disappointed in the choice of restaurant for NYE because the rushed experience and desire to close and rush us out of theovershadowed what is normally a very good experience at Bon Ami. If a restaurant doesn't want customers to stay and dine on NYE, they should not offer late reservation times or perhaps should just not be open. read more

Everything about this restaurant is fantastic. The food is delicious, the ambiance is welcoming and cozy (but not crowded), and the wait staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Everything was delicious and the service was great! We sat on the back patio which was very nice. Definitely recommend!
