He clearly knows his job, gave me honest insight on the food and made me feel right at home away from home. Thanks Anthony!

Narrative is a solid, if not overly inspiring, place to eat. The menu is more wide-ranging than you…read morewould expect, given the decor, it swings from burgers to proper mains and pasta at dinner. 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.

Seriously, they're some of the best I've had. Crispy, juicy, and just the right balance of heat and sweet. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. Every visit, I've been welcomed like a regular. Chelsea behind the bar always takes great care of me, and Joe has built the kind of neighborhood place where you can tell the staff actually enjoys being there. Matt, Cookie, and Aiden have all been awesome too, and everyone else I've met has been just as friendly. It's one of those places where you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Great food, great service, and a laid-back Denver vibe. It's become one of my favorite neighborhood spots, and I'll definitely keep coming back

First time coming and it is self service through kiosk- get your own water/table wear and although…read moresometimes that can be a good thing, today it fell short. We found it hard to edit the cart until checkout and I just wanted some ice but didn't want to bother the 1 person bartending. Food came out quick and we loved the warm chips and guacamole. The fish tacos were ok and the burger was ginormous and messy! The pretzel hit the spot! Ambiance gives service vibes so it was surprising that you don't get any. Sad to think the future of dining involves less people- I know sometimes it's a good thing but it did not seem to fit this restaurant- still in the hunt for our new Hornet-RIP!

Super cute and cozy vibes in an eclectic, smaller space…read more The menu is simple, but the featured items are unique enough and quite tasty. My friend and I shared the duck fat fries and burrata salad. We also got espresso martinis which are pre-made. I believe they may have also used cold brew which is typically unfavorable to me, but I tried it anyway and it was fine. I'd probably get one again because I love espresso martinis but it's nothing special unfortunately. I'd definitely recommend making reservations if going on a weekend night, as the bar area will fill up with reservations as well. Overall, great spot based off my experience and I'd go back again.

WOW! We got a gift card from the manager due to our last experience and this time was amazing…read more Despite it looking super busy, we got sat right away and it was a weekend night, so we definitely got lucky. We told the waitress about our previous experience regarding my boyfriend's burger being super raw and she suggested that he get his burger cut in half, which worked! It was cooked well. I got the tuna melt and it was pretty standard, but delicious regardless. The star of the show, however, had to be the appetizers. We got the wings of two flavors that the waitress recommended. I don't remember the names, but one of them had a mustard taste to it and I really enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I are obsessed with the pretzels. They are soft, warm, and go perfect with the dip so well. Cherry Cricket this time was a great experience and we would come back for the pretzels alone.

The menu is simple though when you start to think about all the ways you can have a burger, it can get overwhelming. Which was what I did and last minute I switched it to just the Vera Cruz winning burger replacing the 1/2 pound cricket burger with their bison burger. Either way it was delicious. The cherry bomb app was an amplified fried cheese stick with an amazing raspberry sauce that went great with it. Plenty of seating including a large outdoor shaded patio that's pet friendly. Service was speedy and efficient. Street parking/public parking structure nearby.

Update: We went back to Hillstone for another date night, and once again, it did not disappoint…read more This time, my fiancée and I split the rotisserie chicken and the French dip, with a side of creamed corn. The rotisserie chicken was delicious and a great portion size definitely enough to fill me up. The apricot glaze was a really nice addition, and overall the chicken was top-notch. It comes with the warm kale panzanella. The kale itself was solid, but I wasn't particularly blown away by the croutons/panzanella portion of the dish. Still, the chicken more than made up for it. The French dip, though, was INCREDIBLE. Hillstone absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The beef was fantastic, and the whole sandwich just worked. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming here, definitely one of the standout dishes we've had. We substituted the French dip's usual side for the creamed corn, which was classic, comforting, and very yummy. A great side choice. And, as always, the cocktails were stellar. Hillstone consistently delivers on that front. Another great meal at Hillstone, and the French dip is now firmly on my list of must-order dishes.

Our first time at Hillstone was an interesting experience. We arrived for a 12:45 reservation on a…read moreSaturday afternoon. While the host was friendly and the waitstaff was helpful, several aspects of our meal were disappointing given the strict dining guidelines and supposedly high-endish experience claimed by this restaurant. Our experience with the food was inconsistent: - Appetizers: Since the grilled artichokes were unavailable, we ordered the artichoke and spinach dip. While the dip was flavorful, the tortilla chips were a letdown; we felt toast points or focaccia would have been a better accompaniment. - Entrees: The California burger and French Dip were good, though grilling the roll for the French Dip would have improved the texture. The Emerald Kale Chicken Salad was only average, as the chicken was quite fatty. - Sushi: The Coconut Shrimp Roll was the most significant disappointment. It lacked flavor and left an unpleasant taste that even wasabi could not mask, resulting in most of it going to waste. - Sides: The french fries were excellent and the highlight of our meal. Crunchy and perfectly salted. Overall, considering the expectations set by the dining policies, the experience was underwhelming and we do not plan to return.

The vibes were great, upscale but not over the top (you'd be fine in jeans and a nice shirt). Noise level was perfect, not very loud and easy to have a conversation with everyone at the table without yelling. We got the Brussels as an appetizer (listed as a side item), they were absolutely spectacular and cooked to perfection. The pomegranate seeds added a nice touch of sweetness. There were so many incredible options on the menu it was a struggle to decide on an entree. They have many pescatarian, vegetarian, and even vegan options. I ended up ordering the Sweet Potato off the vegan section of the menu. It was amazing but unfortunately due to my sensative pallet, it was a bit too spicy for me to say I'd order it again. It came on a luxurious bed of hummus and corn. Overall 10 out of 10 experience but I would not recommend the vegan sweet potato entree if you're sensitive to spice. Skinny margs were amazing!! Highly recommend with Herradura (blanco). Note: the daiquiris come in a martini glass - not frozen like tradition.

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!

‼ DON'T EVER ORDER FOOD TO GO FROM HERE!!! ‼…read more I honestly cannot believe a restaurant at this price point thinks this is acceptable. I spent over $50 on a to go order and it came with no napkins, no salad dressing, and no utensils. When I politely asked for a plastic fork because I was staying at a hotel, the employee, Sherry, repeatedly told me, "We don't provide that," and then kept saying, "I don't know what to tell you," instead of offering any kind of solution. The dismissive attitude was honestly worse than the missing items. Then I got back to my hotel and realized Sherry had handed me someone else's order. So after all of that, I didn't even have my own food. I ended up giving the meal to a homeless person and drove to Taco Bell instead. If your restaurant doesn't provide basic utensils or napkins with a takeout order, why are you even offering takeout? Even fast food restaurants understand that people ordering food to go might actually need a fork to eat it. This wasn't just about a missing fork. It was the complete lack of attention to detail, basic customer service, and then being handed the wrong order on top of it. For over $50, this was an unbelievably bad takeout experience. Save yourself the frustration and order somewhere else.

The restaurant has three TV's (one big screen in the corner), a great bar area, spacious dining room, and a fantastic wrap-around outdoor area. It is dog friendly, and they even had a big event coming up...just for dogs. They get their beers from Briar Common Brewery on the other side of town, and the Hoptomist IPA was one of the better beers I have had in quite a while. I chose the Royale with Cheese route, and couldn't have been happier with what came out of the kitchen. I spoke with the manager, Jeff, and you could sense that the quality of employees there was high across the board. He was very nice to the weird guy taking all kind of pics around the place. I didn't have room for most of them after the burger, but the fries were good too, and I had garlic aioli to dip them in. Tasty. I dropped this burger in at #10 for me all-time. It might move up after I go back and get the same thing once again. My visit was flawless, I highly recommend this place to folks, and see you there...
