    Chicken Shawarma Pita
    Ruby S.

    Lunch time in Denver International Airport while waiting to board my connecting flight. Chicken Shawarma Pita caught my attention. 21 herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, mixed in tahini sauce with chicken exudes spicy. A well balanced, light meal for those on the go. You're welcome to choose either pita or salad. I felt like I had the best of both worlds. I was the only customer in line. Customer service seems more cut to the chase and price is high.

    Came in for brekkie on our way to El Paso and this little restaurant was busy. But not so loud. Habtamu seated and served us quickly. There is a good selection of items and we ended up getting 2 Gyro bowls with avocado which were very yummy. If we are in Thai airport again, we will be back.

    Avocado toast
    Rachelle R.

    For airport grab and go food this place is my favorite so far. The pricing is very fair and comparable to avocado toast at a restaurant however I have had other avocado toast at the same price point outside of the airport with less avocado and other toppings. This toast was loaded with thick avocado mash piled high with arugula, onions, radish's, and tomato's. The price was $14 which is about the same cost as many other places in town. I really enjoyed the taste and it was the perfect healthy lunch I was looking for. The service was fast and friendly I had my toast in less than 5 minutes. The ambiance ... well it's grab and go at the airport but I would say pretty standard. This is perfectly centered in the middle of the B gates.

    Ahi tuna salad -- delicious!
    Candice F.

    I generally have very low expectations for airport food. I searched up and down for something healthy and considered the ahi tuna salad here. The server Rae was friendly and welcoming and I asked her opinion of the salad -- she raved about it, so I went with her recommendation. Service was quick and a good portion size. The salad was served with a ponzu dressing and wasabi sauce on the side -- great flavors that add just enough kick and salt to the meal. The only drawback was that my diet coke paled in comparison! I unexpectedly found a new go-to spot in the Denver airport and Rae provided awesome service!

    I couldn't use my gift card. I just wanted 3 bags of chips. I spent 15 minutes showing my $5 bar code.

    Very good service. The plantains were great! For airport food, reasonably priced. Short list of breakfast items.

    Probably one of the best airport meals I've had is from this little cafe. Obviously, the ambiance is loud being in an airport. But this cafe/bar offers inside seating and a quick fast service to-go lane. We opted for the to-go line since our flight was coming up. The salad was pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. It was filling, delicious and fresh. I loved the seared tuna and sauces they give to dip it in. Tangy, but with a kick. My fiancé got the Cuban sandwich with fries. I didn't get a picture of it, but it also wasn't a bad meal for airport food. The employees are extremely friendly as well. They gave us a free ranch for our fries.

    Quick layover in Denver, looking for a decent meal. Decided to try Etai's Bakery. I ordered the burger and fries. They told me it would be 10-15 minutes but it came out in 5! The burger (5/5) reminded me of Culver's, fresh off the grill, but the brioche bun was excellent as were the pickles and onions. The fries ( 4/5) were a generous amount and quite good! Overall highly recommended!!

    Mango Salad
    John H.

    Ordered the same chicken sandwich and the quality of the chicken was not good. It was rubbery. My bride ordered the Mango salad and also said her chicken wasn't good. Neither of us finished our meals.

    QUICKIE REVIEW It's airport food; it gets the job done. FOOD This is what I tried: -Southwest breakfast sandwich Bread was a tad bit on the dry side but like the subtle kick it had it in it from the jalapeno. All the other ingredients in were ok. Nothing stood out too much. PARKING No. SERVICE Order at counter, pick up at counter. PRICE About $15 for the sandwich. TIP/OTHER THOUGHTS Considering it's a quick bite to eat in the airport for breakfast, it will hold you over. Just don't expect to be wowed from this place.

    Half a flat bread pizza YUM
    Amiee B.

    Great spot at the Denver airport we literally love seeing the airplanes take off while dinning and this place had great seating! & great food too! We halved a pizza with pepperoni & it was delicious! Prices are as affordable as airport food is. (I added menu photos) Great yummy meal when we stop in Denver airport for a long layover.

    This place is more comfortable than the flight waiting area. There are tables and chairs, wall plugs for chargers, and friendly service. They have many gluten free options on their menu that are clearly labeled. I had the peanut sesame salad. It was a generous portion and was pretty good for airport food.

    I had the Cuban and felt sick within 5 minutes of eating it. It was also an expensive sandwich for rubbery ham.

    Everyone was friendly. The paleo bowl was delicious. I ordered a hot green tea and they gave me a double to go. No wonder they were busy!

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.
