Several of the items are genuinely good. The wine list is well curated, and the cocktail program is thoughtful and interesting. The ambiance is clean, open, bright, and generally inviting - the service matches the quality of food and decor. Everything is as it should be; it is just perhaps not as good as some of its counterparts, Cherry Creek, and for that reason, it excels at having tables open when I have failed to plan properly and need a reservation. I do eat here fairly often, and I can't quite tell you why it is not a 5*, but it's not quite there for me.

Narrative lives up to its name for book club purposes, even if the bookcases turn out to be wallpaper on closer inspection. The food lands exactly where you'd hope for a restaurant inside a nice hotel: polished without pretension. The burrata is quietly ambitious: creamy, brightened by jambon's salty depth, propped up by crispy vegetable chips, and oh my gosh, gluten free! The pork belly sliders read more as pulled pork, tender with the meat, with just a hint of slaw. Olives and almonds rounded out our spread, and were delightful, if a little pricey.

We were seated by the hostess who got waters for us and then had a very friendly waitress. She was very attentive as well. We started with the dip duo and grilled artichokes. The chips that came with the dips were great and dips super flavorful and very different so it was nice to have the contrast. The artichokes were grilled deliciously. I loved the charred taste. I ordered the salmon dish. I really enjoyed the salmon and my broccoli. The mashed potatoes were not my things. Lots of leeks/onions in it. We did get a side of fries instead and those were great - they tasted just like McDonald's! I can see why this restaurant is popular. Good food and great service!

We had an amazing dinner at Local Jones (LJs) at the Halcyon Hotel, visiting on the second night of their new menu, and they absolutely nailed it. Our party of four was impressed from start to finish. The staff was outstanding--knowledgeable, prompt, and attentive without ever hovering. It felt like they truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. The food was excellent across the board. My New York strip was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The rest of our group loved their dishes just as much--the mussels, shepherd's pie, and braised short ribs all got rave reviews. It's not often that four totally different entrées are all home runs, but LJs pulled it off. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. We will definitely make LJs a regular stop whenever we're in Denver. Highly recommend!

The price was a bit high, but the quality of the meal was spot on. I had the seared scallops with celery root puree, pomegranate seeds, cous cous, and toasted hazelnuts. Divine. My husband had the filet mignon with Bearnaise sauce, and roasted potatoes and asparagus. Also amazing. Both dishes per cooked to perfection. All employees were professional and our server was friendly. The atmosphere was lovely--clean, warm, inviting. It was an interesting journey to find the bathroom. It's shared with other parts of the building and was the only thing that needed attending. Four stars for the messy bathrooms, price being quite high, and it was a 2 hour and 45 min dinner. Took forever. I've never had so many glasses of water in my life in such a short period of time. If you can afford it, I would certainly say the food was almost worth it--desserts were just okay, and one of the appetizers was alright.

Since it has been rebranded it is not that good anymore in my opinion. I have had the Chicken Alfredo on the kids menu. The French onion soup, and the crab bisque. I really enjoyed when the crab was the lobster bisque, the restaurant would give you quite a few chunks of lobster. Now the crab bisque is all right and is light on the crab. In the past I would eat lunch with friends and colleagues. Now I order to-go. The quality just isn't there anymore. I was recently surprised to find out that the restaurant serves desert. They have crème brûlée on the menu and that is my favorite dessert of all time. The service is good. The restaurant is nice and clean. I like that it looks over first Avenue, but the quality just isn't there anymore and I'm not impressed. If you are hungry and want someone to-go be my guest.

I'm glad our first experience ended up being at the Denver location because it definitely lived up to the hype. The restaurant has a more upscale feel than a lot of places around Denver, but it's still comfortable and welcoming. We started with the grilled artichokes, which were outstanding. They're a fun appetizer to share and pick at while waiting for your entrées, and the dipping sauce was incredible. For my main course, I ordered the cheeseburger with the coleslaw, and it was fantastic. I've been on a mission to find the best restaurant cheeseburger in Denver, and this one immediately jumped near the top of my list. The burger was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and the coleslaw was a great complement. My fiancée ordered one of the salads and really enjoyed it as well. For dessert, we couldn't pass up the brownie. Since it was my birthday, they added a candle to the scoop of ice cream on top, which was a thoughtful touch. The brownie itself was rich, warm, and absolutely top-tier. As someone who loves a good brownie, this one delivered, especially with the nuts on top adding a little extra texture. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our water glasses were constantly refilled before they got low, and one detail that really stood out was when they replaced my martini glass with a freshly chilled one so my drink stayed cold throughout the meal. It's those little touches that make a restaurant memorable. Overall, this was an outstanding birthday dinner, and we can't wait to come back. There were several dishes we want to try, including the Hawaiian ribeye, the barbecue ribs, and more of the salads.
