We had a wonderful anniversary dinner early on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the small plates. The food was creative, delicious and just amazing. The service, Aline (?), was a pro and charming. The place's ambience is warm and inviting. That equals 5 stars. Congrats to all at Duo. Oh and that ice cream. Wow. read more

Duo is an underrated star. Had dinner there tonight and as always it did not disappoint. Fantastic food and service and the care they put into the menu and sourcing quality produce and veggies is obvious. You can walk in many nights and I'm always delighted. It's cozy and intimate without being stuffy, just a great solid place. read more

I had lamb and my wife had salmon, both of which were some of the best dishes we've had in the Denver area. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the wait staff made sure we were well taken care of. I also would seriously recommend getting the Petit Gateaux for dessert. Cannot recommend this place enough for date night or an elevated night out. read more

Duo is a great brunch and dinner spot. They use fresh, seasonal ingredients, are are committed to creating a menu that's both unique and satisfying. One of my favorite menu items for brunch is the Sweet Sunday. The poached eggs are cooked perfectly, and the confit mushrooms and sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful. Make sure you leave a few extra minutes for street parking. read more

Duo Restaurant is a triple threat and here's why. Brunch - The Cider Pork Benedict is one of the finer brunch items I've had this year! The pork itself was succulent, juicy and tender. (yes, all three) The Ciabatta, crispy, crunchy and held up to the sauce. The mustard cream sauce was excellent, with a subtle tang to balance the savory pork. Served with potatoes, the end. Local, organic ingredients are implemented throughout the entire menu. I can only vouch for brunch, but it's a safe assumption they do this for their regular service menus as well. You can taste the difference in quality. Service - Just delightful. Two servers took care of us; one was in training. They were both bubbly and knowledgeable of the menu. More importantly, they were proud to work at Duo. And when a customer sees that, everything falls into place. Atmosphere - Loved the ability to see the kitchen from our table. The line cooks were churning out beautiful plates left and right. The exposed brick walls, kitschy placemats, and elegant tea cups allow Duo's true colors to shine. One of the best meals I've had since moving to Denver, so it's a guarantee I'll be back to work my way through the menu! read more

The was amazing and light. The only thing I am mad about is I did not take a picture of the absolutely fabulous appetizer peaches and tomatoes. The appetizer had tomatoes and peaches with smoked feta cheese. I devoured it so fast I forgot to take a picture my bad. But it also served with a wonderful crumbled up pie crust that just worked. My wife had the pork chop which I was actually jealous of for just a moment. The pork chop was meaty and flavorful and the bbq sauce on the chop really good. But and not by much my salmon came out and it was just in one word delicious. The Lentils, cream sauce, and green beans just were great. And the tempura onions, cream sauce, and salmon were just an explosion of flavor in my mouth. This was hands down some of the best salmon my mouth has ever tasted. The chef put a perfect char on the salmon which only happens at very good restaurants. I can't believe I made this gem right here in Colorado. The service. Our server was a wonderful young lady who described everything perfectly and gave us even better service. She is the first server that I felt that really had pulse on the food from appetizer to entree. She got a 22 percent tip from me. She deserved it. I wish I could give her more but have to budget Lol. Keep doing what you are doing she made are dining experience very enjoyable. Lastly ambiance. The restaurant was remarkably clean and everyone extremely pleasant. Hands down one of the more hidden pleasant places in the Highlands. Go now because this hidden gem will not stay unnoticed for too long. read more

Quality food prepared superbly. Warm, quiet atmosphere and an attentive wait staff. Especially love their cocktails and mock tails. Definitely one of our go-to restaurants. read more

This place was great. We went for a breakfast / brunch and everything the table got was on point. Great space and service as well.

Brunch was fantastic! The restaurant is super small but really cute. I went for brunch with a friend and both thought the food was excellent. We both had mimosas which tasted great and reasonably priced. My friend had the Sweet Sunday with some bacon and she loved it. The bread was a little crispy and hard to cut into at first but she still thought it was great. I had the Brussels and Ham Scramble and it was delicious. The eggs were super fluffy and the seasoning was perfect. The crispy potatoes were also on point. Really had a nice experience with great food and service. Looking forward to trying again. read more

This was our first time coming to Duo and we came to celebrate a birthday after reading amazing reviews and walking past many times and wow! It did not disappoint. The service was wonderful and the server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and drink offerings. They also have outdoor seating that seems perfect for a summer evening. For drinks, we had a Gin and Tonic and a Rye Your Heart Out- both delicious. We loved that they use all Colorado-made products, including liquor. For a starter, we had the Pea Pancakes. It came with 3 crispy pea pancakes with a bed of shrimp mixed with an aioli that had a slight kick to it. Very refreshing and light on a hot day. For main courses, we had the chicken schnitzel with herb spaetzle, the duo of lamb, and the pork chop. Everything was fresh, made to order and clearly very well curated! The portions were very generous and much bigger than you might expect for a restaurant like this. We strongly felt the portions and quality matched the prices. With dessert, we really struggled to choose an option as everything sounded delicious. We went with the lemon posset and it was the perfect way to end a big meal- fresh and light. The even took the dessert off our tab for our birthday celebration! If given the chance, everyone must check out Duo!! read more

We tend to save duo for those celebrations during the year and it is always a great time. The staff is friendly and attentive. Food never disappoints. Thank you for a great time. read more

Professionally delivered dining ambiance and plates - went here with the love of my life - I miss you baby.

This the BEST brunch in town without a doubt! Duo has all the right elements for a scrumptious meal! Everything from the reasonable price point, portion size to the drink menu, you're guaranteed a satisfied customer when you leave! FOOD- Seasonal, farm-to-table inspired menu has something for everyone including gluten free options. We had the pastry board that came with a savory green onion biscuit, poppy seed muffin and a blueberry scone. It was a perfect starter! Then we had the Denver Classic and the Sweet Sunday. Loved the veggies and the grilled Ciabatta bread in the Sweet Sunday! You just can't go wrong with a classic for brunch. Most of all, we really enjoyed the creative and refreshing cocktails like the Rosé Lemonade and the Ryse and Shine with whisky! SERVICE- our waitress was attentive and wonderful the entire time! She offered great recommendations when we were unsure about which entree to order. VERDICT- If you haven't been to this charming restaurant then you need to check it out ASAP because you're missing out big time! The also have a fantastic Happy Hour menu for those who'd like to get a taste of their food! Perfect spot for romantic dinners and get togethers with friends! read more

Love this restaurant! Dinner Was so yummy that we ended up coming back the next day for brunch! No joke food drinks service and atmosphere was great! Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time even with following social distancing guidelines. We started of with some drinks including some of their specialty cocktails and Prosecco. For appetizers we ordered the mussels and the tomato and peaches. All were super tasty. For the main meal I had the Pasta special, tagliatelle Bolognese, which was amazing. For dessert we tried both the chocolate macadamia tart and the corn bread. Also soooo yummy. Came back the following morning for brunch which was AMAZING! Ordered the crab cakes, biscuit and gravy and the omelette. And had a mocha latte. Would 100% recommend coming here for any meal! read more

I seriously cannot even handle how amazing our brunch experience was this past weekend. The mimosas were perfection. The cocktails to die for. And the food was bliss. Crowd favorite was definitely the Cider Pork Benedict followed closely by the Denver Classic. Wow. The pork was breaded and fried to absolute perfection and every bite was mouthwatering. I will say I was disappointed by the French Toast but our incredible service more than made up for it. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Can't wait to come back for brunch and we definitely want to give dinner a try sometime! read more

For Kel's birthday we went out to Duo in the highlands Denver. The restaurant is quant, very cozy atmosphere with an open view of the busy kitchen. We really enjoyed the environment and vibe of the place. We shared the asparagus toast appetizer which had a wonder truffle egg salad on top. Also with radishes, pea shoots, that herb pistou it was amazing and the perfect starter. We shared the Striped Bass with purple potatoes, tomato broth and sourdough gremolata. The Bass was cooked perfectly, skin was crispy and it melted in our mouth. The martinis were great!! Kelly enjoyed hers with a local Gin and extra dirty. El had the Moped by New Image in Arvada. Blood Orange and he thought it was very flavorful and delicious. We would highly recommend this place. The service was great too and we will return. #newimage #newimagebrewing #duorestaurant #denverreviews @food._brand @lifestylesofelandkel #lifestylesofelandkel #foodie #denberfood #resturants #resturantreviews #5280eats #denverfoodie #303foodie #moped #denver Follow us and our reviews on Insta @lifestylesofelandkel read more

Lovely farm to table restaurant. I had the red trout which came with scallion olive oil potatoes, pickled charred pepper, fennel, and saffron aioli. For dessert had the chocolate French silk pie and poached pears. Everything was amazing and there were no leftovers! Street parking can be tough to find but if you walk a street or two you may be able to find something. read more

We have been meaning to try Duo for some time now and finally had our first indoor brunch since the pandemic began. We were seated right on time and the tables had cute doors with glass windows separating the tables which added a level of privacy and safety. I had the challah french toast with apple cinnamon compote and my husband had the Denver Classic. Both were delicious! I would say my only critique is the portion size of the french toast plate and especially the side of cheesy grits we ordered were fairly small. The side of grits was in a little ramekin with just a handful or so. I suppose it is good for our spring diets though :). read more

Our group of 5 was in Denver for the weekend celebrating my friend's birthday - she was so excited for this brunch here in particular based on the reviews, but BOY WERE WE IN FOR A WORLD OF DISAPPOINTMENT!! Aside from the hostess, there was no acknowledgment or any birthday wishes from the staff... and what is the point of making a reservation if you're seated immediately, buttttt your waitress is MIA so you can't even place an order for over an hour... if it wasn't a special occasion, I would've walked out after 30mins and even that is generous!! No acknowledgment or apology for the delay, never checked in to see if we were set or needed anything (we waited 30mins for a new knife after reminding the waitress at least 3x), I could go on. And yet I get the stank eye when I make a point not to say 'please' or 'thank you,' matching their energy - respect is deserved and this establishment laughably missed the mark today. Save yourself the time and money and go literally anywhere else!! Besides the subpar service, the food was nothing to write home about - the biscuit was dry, the potatoes too salty, and there was barely any pork on the PORK benedict. And the drinks were fine, I guess? Suffice to say, if I could give zero stars I would and we will NEVER come back here again read more

Duo was a lovely spot to meet friends for brunch. The inside has a modern farmhouse vibe with a beautiful brick wall (I'm a sucker for a good brick wall) and window panes hung or used as dividers between some tables. I ordered the cider pork Benedict and some coffee. The real standout for me was the mustard hollandaise and the side of potatoes that came with the Benedict. The pork was good, but a tad dry. The eggs were cooked perfectly and added some great moisture to the pork. Our waitress was very attentive and offered suggestions when we asked. Overall, a solid brunch experience! read more

I love Duo. I hosted my mom's surprise 70th birthday here, and my mom gifted me a Duo gift certificate for my birthday, which is just so sweet. Moms are the best. Service is always excellent and the food is always good. Their menu rotates, so there have been menu items I love and menu items that haven't been my faves. We had brunch in one of the greenhouses outdoors--they open the roof and the door and we got there early so no one had recently been inside. It felt very COVID-safe. I wish we had gone on one of the recent cooler days as on a nice, warm, sunny day that thing is like a sauna! I had the challah french toast and french press (très français), and my husband had the chorizo scramble and a bloody mary. Everything was very good and filling. I miss the inside, but we'll get back there eventually once everyone gets their Fauci ouchies! read more

Not a menu for everyone. Check the menu before you go as it might not be to your liking. I could not find anything on the menu I wanted to order. So I got a desert. I did try everyone else's items and several apps. It was all just ok. The toast on one app was hard as a rock and burnt, the chicken schnitzel was supper disappointing for $42 (Chick Fil A) would have been better. Then the added fees on the bills are hidden and disappointing. Just make the price on the menu the price people pay, sounds simple enough. Right? I loath all of the Denver restaurants doing mandatory tips. What if the service was bad? Tips should be the discretionary option of the customer. Nothing was bad but nothing was worth coming back for. Nice restaurant, nice ambiance, nice location, it just could all be better. Denver has soooo many other options. read more

We have been here twice and each time it was amazing food. Service is good a little slow but nothing horrible. We have had brunch here twice and man-O- man I tell you, this is really good food and a wonderfully creative menu. Pricing is very fair honestly a really good value for the quality of food that you're receiving. The location is great. The overall ambience of the place is ever so lovely for a brunch. We have plans to go there for dinner one night. I highly recommend this for brunch though. read more

This place is hopping at brunch. Understandably so. I had trouble choosing what to get on their menu, lots of tantalizing options. Started with an tasty bloody mary. Made perfect. Ordered the pastry board to start. Included three different fresh baked pastries. For my entree I chose the Denver Classic, a crispy pork loin, with eggs, sausage gravy and fried potatoes. Excellent dish but huge. The service was friendly and efficient. read more

Really enjoyed our experience at Duo. Our server was very attentive and spent time talking through cocktail choices (and brought a friend some fernet to taste for the first time). The highlight was definitely the bison tartar with the smoked trout mousse, a very unexpected combination of flavors that really worked. Will certainly be back. read more

Met some friends at Duo, first time visit for all of us. I was about 15 minutes late to our dinner reservation thanks to traffic from the burbs and poor planning. Upon arrival 3 tables including ours were seated. Some reason despite the restaurant being empty with one server, a bartender and an unknown sized kitchen staff, every seated table was clustered into one small area. This is disappointing, I felt squished in our corner table when beyond the table behind me and the table to my left the entire place was empty. In a post pandemic Era it seems drink prices have really surged or maybe it's sticker shock from the lack of social outings in 2 years. Some of the drinks here are unique enough that the pricing seems justifiable, others I can't say I feel the same way. The menu is small, which often turns me off from a place. However, the food was flavorful in an unexpected way. Unfortunately, everything still felt overpriced compared to other dining experiences. read more

I don't mind coming here once in awhile. I live within walking distance to Duo and will say it is one of the better sit down breakfast places in the area, but I would only dine here if it is convenient to you. The Denver Classic is one of my favorite dishes, they do have great dessert options as well. I would like to note that I have only tried their breakfast. read more

Duo has a great brunch menu and our brunch experience didn't disappoint. Not only the food was great, we really enjoyed the ambiance, beautiful interior. I went with the brisket skilled and it was amazing! The eggs that came with it was fluffy and delicious. My wife went with the duck confit omelette which was good but thought the brisket was a richer dish. Although both dishes will keep you very thirsty afterwards. We finished off with the challah French toast. It was ok overall. It had apple and pomegranate which was not my type of sweet. Wished if they had a chocolate/ peanut butter alternative for the super sweet tooth people. Although the portion is super generous. Ratings: Brisket skillet: 8.5/10 Duck confit omelette: 8/10 Challah French toast: 7/10 read more

Really great overall food! We forgot to make a reservation, so ended up sitting at a bar high top which worked just as well and sat right away. We started with the bacon appetizer...incredible. So much taste and worth every bite. I had the sea bass and my friend had pork chops and we both devoured every bite. Both had amazing presentations and a ton of flavor. For food I'd absolutely give a 5. Only giving a 4 since the meal did take a long time to come out and it took us a while to go close the bill. It was really crowded so I'm sure it was mostly due to staffing, but we'd have loved it a little faster. Overall though worth and will most definitely add to our regular rotation! read more

Duo is a really cute place to grab weekend brunch with your homeys or even take a first date that you have high hopes for. It's the perfect balance of feeling warm and nice without feeling upscale. The food is solid, and the ambiance is inviting. It's a good place to have a conversation with friends, and it's not so big that you'll lose your server. I went here for brunch with a couple friends from out of town, and all of us were happy with our food. Honestly, the portions could be a little bit bigger for the price, but it was just enough for a fancy-ish brunch. If you're here for breakfast or brunch, get something with the potatoes. They're some of my favorite breakfast potatoes that I've had in a minute. You'll easily drop $15/person here for brunch, but the environment will more than make it seem fair. If you're looking for something in the Highlands that's walkable to the Linger/Little Man/Avanti trifecta, this is a good place to start. read more

We went for an early somewhat fancy dinner and we were not disappointed. Fast professional service by kind knowledgeable soft spoken servers and excellent food without breaking the bank (too much). We got the butcher's steak which happened to be bison and going for market value $36 (somewhere around there) and the red trout. Both were just perfect. I don't even need to describe it, just look at the pictures. I do believe reservations are a must, as they have more distant seating because of the covid-after-times. read more

Came here for a triple date night! Love the vibe of this restaurant... elegant, yet cozy & casual. And the food also fits that bill. We all split a cheese board, which I'll admit was a bit small for 6 people. We each only got a couple bites of cheese, but all the cheeses (hand-selected by the chef) were amazing, local offerings. The wine selection to go along with your apps & meals is extensive & impressive. For dinner, I tried the vegetarian options, which was mushroom heavy. Ordinarily, I rave over any mushroom dish, but this one had an odd texture, I think due to the riced cauliflower base. The flavors were amazing, the texture was just a little off. Others had the sea bass and the cassoulet, both of which were crowd-pleasers. No dessert for us, but I'd love to go back & try some when I get the chance. read more

Creative food, attentive service! We first tried Duo about 10 years ago - it's been a great choice when you want something easy, tasty, and well done. A farm-to-table situation with nearly innumerable locally sourced vendors, the dishes are a treat. The hush puppies were a fun start (my South Carolinian companions gave them the thumbs up). The Barramundi came all the way from New Zealand, the Bison just a short ride from NMex, I believe. All wonderful. We'll keep Duo in the rotation! read more

This place is a rare gem! Having only found it on Google I took my husband there on a Friday night for our anniversary. The service was flawless, the food was so interesting and perfectly prepared, the music was on low volume, and the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. My new favorite restaurant! read more

This place was such a surprise! I had it on my list but wasn't really sure where from. But I booked a reservation and wow was I impressed. I got the gnocchi with lamb shank (appetizer) but it was a perfect portion for me. Not too much but so flavorful and cooked to perfection. My friend got the lamb chops and the entire meal kept saying how delicious it was. They cook on that was also perfect. The waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We had a wonderful time! read more

I love love love duo- this place never disapoints. The have a seasonal menu and every time I've gone the meals have been incredibly fresh. It is an adorable atmosphere, the silverware is tatsfully mismatched along with the cloth napkins and rings, all on top of placemats with kids recipies great entertainment. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious, sweet, moist with a kick at the end. Not a chicken fan usually but this sammy blew my mind. read more

It had been a few years since I was last at Duo and I had a tremendous urge to visit a low-key Denver classic that I always thought was reliable for both its food and service. Well, I'm ready to return already! On this cooler date night evening, we started with warm fontina-filled squash arancini, served with spicy sweet maple syrup and calabrian chile gastrique. No photos because we ate those perfect little balls of autumn yumminess incredibly fast. I'm inspired to figure how to make these arancini at home. For our main courses, my husband delighted in his meal and I mmmmed and ohhhhed through my duck breast meal. The beet-orange agradolce cut the richness of the celery root and broccoli pesto farro. Very well balanced and delicious dish. Lastly, we shared a pot of French press coffee, brought out when exactly ready instead of having to guess - and poured! And we shared the beautifully presented, wondrously rich flavored and light as a pillow panna cotta. Our server was polite and professional and sweet and perfectly attentive. It did seem a little louder on this evening than I remember so not sure how it would go to have more than 2-4 at a table, but for our date night, it was just fine. Duo has mastered the art of a great meal and dining experience and I'll have to remember to rotate this restaurant back in more regularly. I love exploring new restaurants, but the older standards like Duo are reliable and wonderful. read more
