    Do not skip these - Fried Green Tomatoes! Delicious.
    Kearstin E.

    This place has a fun, hip, slightly chaotic brunch vibe. There always seems to be a wait, but honestly, join the Yelp waitlist before you go! We were told there were 10 parties ahead of us, and somehow our table was ready about five minutes later. In fact, the table was ready almost 20 minutes before the quoted wait time, so the waitlist system definitely seems questionable- to our benefit. We came on a Sunday and happened to get lucky because there was also a farmers market going on, which made the whole experience even more lively. The menu is described online as American, although I definitely got more of a Southern Creole influence from a lot of the savory dishes. The fried green tomatoes were hands-down the star of our meal - probably the best I've ever had. Absolutely worth ordering. We also tried the brisket hash and kicking sausage grits. The grits did not disappoint. The brisket hash was decent, but I think it could have benefited from a little sweetness to balance the barbecue-style brisket. There were also a few pieces that were very fatty, which disappoints. Overall, I would definitely come back. The menu is fun, varied, and diverse enough that there are plenty of other things I want to try. Just know what you're getting into: it's busy, very hipster, and chaotic - but that's the true flavor of brunch!

    One of my favorite breakfast joints to visit in Denver. The atmosphere is warm and bright. Parking is fairly easy to find, the staff are kind, the food is good (with gluten-free options!!!).

    Visited during vacation & so happy I did. The shrimp & grits, delicious. Berry french toast, delicious. Chicken & waffles, delicious! I would come here every trip just to try more items on the menu! I did need to join the waitlist & waited about 40 mins, but that was expected! Our server was SO nice too!

    Bluegrass Benedict (10/10 would recommend highly)
    Madeleine B.

    So glad that I picked this spot for brunch while visiting Denver. Vibe: Family friendly, open breakfast/brunch/lunch place with bar and sit down service. 9am on a Sunday was moderately busy and moderately loud. Service: 10/10. Bar staff was excellent, very friendly and fast. Food came out of the kitchen very quickly as well. Food: The menu had a lot of really interesting options, I got the Bluegrass Benedict. It was amazing. Literally one of my favorite benedict dishes I've had. It had layers and layers of flavors between the greens, sauce, and toppings. The home fries were crispy on the outside + soft on the inside perfection. The only part that wasn't stellar was the pork belly itself, have definitely had better, but everything else blew me away. The portion size was large. Value: I paid $22 after tip, it was a big portion and I had to eat some later (although not as good as fresh), overall great quality and service so would say value on point. Accessibility: There was street parking in front. There is a ramp to the door. I had a great meal and would recommend highly and would go again if back in the area.

    Our first time here and we loved it! The food was divine and the service was amazing. Our waitress was the sweetest thing. Loved the flavors of all the food! Highly recommend

    Brisket hash with two over easy eggs and cornbread

    Great breakfast spot that delivers on flavor and price. I ended up eating the brisket hash with two eggs that was more than enough food and very tasty. The space is bright, and today was so nice that they opened up the garage door/windows that are behind the bar where I sat. The staff is super nice and the restaurant is a well oiled machine. I was going to talk with a manager about bringing a couple bottles of my hot sauce in to see if they'd rather do something local. I will be back because I didn't get to try their delicious looking pancakes on this visit.

    Looking for a place on the way to the airport as my trip to Denver came to a close, I found Four Friends on Yelp that had excellent reviews. What a find! Easy free street parking and a table available when I arrived. Service by Brenda was exceptional. She was very friendly and accommodating. It was hard to choose what to order as they had lots of yummy traditional as well as healthy/vegan options on the menu. I went with my usual craving: Huevos Rancheros. It was gigantic and had just the right amount of heat/spice and flavor. Yummers. Brenda kept the coffee refills coming and had me out of there in time to return my rental car and catch my flight back to Baltimore. Fueled by such tasty huevos rancheros, I was good to go all day without needing airport snacks. Nice ambiance here, noticeable inclusivity and positive vibes!

    We stopped by here for breakfast before the zoo. They sat us immediately, which was a surprise because there was a lot of people outside, so we thought it was the line. But our waiter was absolutely awesome and we talked through recommendation since I'm not from Colorado, This is by far the best food I ate while in Denver. It was absolutely amazing.

    While we had to wait for a table for about 20 minutes, it was to be expected because the restaurant is small. And it is popular! Been looking high and low for a good spot for huevos rancheros, and found one. Great flavor, and I love the crispies of the tortillas. The service was amazing. We had a different server that took our order someone else that brought coffee. Someone else to give us the bill and they just seem to have a well oiled ship there.

    This was our first stop in Denver and I am so happy we came here! The staff was super friendly and gave us recommendations from their menu. We told them that we were going to splitting both of our meals and they went above & beyond to split our meals & put them on separate plates. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and were super crispy. The meal was one of my favorites from the trip.

    This may have been one of the best Brunches I've had in my life. The Crab cake & Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benny was DELICIOUS! The potatos were perfect! We're visiting from out of town but would most definitely come back again!

    Hubby and I are always looking for a spot to have breakfast on a Saturday- now that's he has Saturdays free after 17 years or after Sunday church! So you know me I'm always googling or yelping because I know how important reviews are and I found Four Friends Kitchen!! This place is very nice and even a little romantic for the summer because they have a roof top to eat breakfast on and enjoy the warm weather. The service was great, we met the manager and he was nice and we talked about maybe having an event there one day! Now I ordered the chicken fingers, potatoes and a chocolate chip pancake and my husband ordered the usual: eggs, bacon, sausage and a pancake. The pancakes are huge!!! The food was delicious and my fingers cooked extra crispy! And my pancake tasted like dessert! Right up my alley!! ONE important thing to remember: you must make reservations because there is always a wait!!

    A cute brunch place but nothing special. We tried a few of the dishes on the menu, nothing really was amazing. The Smoked Brisket Hash and Eggs sounded delicious but really lacked flavor even with the red chili ranchero sauce on the bottom. The chocolate chip pancake was OK The coffee was lacking. The "Kitchen Sink" was also nothing special The location was cute and the service was fast but didn't see the small print about the 4.25% additional service charge that is not part of the tip until after the meal was over. We left and went to another coffee shop for a proper coffee right after.

    That is French toast.

    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.

Death & Co is a bar that has been on my list to go to for a very long time. We made our reservation ahead of time, which I would highly recommend you do. I almost didn't do it, but I'm glad I did because it was limited seating still. The inside atmosphere is absolutely amazing elegant, upscale. This is the place to be. We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking. All in all, this place truly delivers an amazing experience. The wait staff was able to make amazing recommendations on cocktails based on what people's preferences are. The food was truly amazing. If you like good food and great drinks, I would definitely check this place out.
