Traveling Mercies has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Denver area…read more The cocktails are the standout here. Everything is well balanced, thoughtfully put together, and consistently impressive. There's a good mix of classic foundations with more creative twists, and it all works. The food holds its own too. The oysters are always fresh and well shucked, and the smaller bites are just as strong. One of my favorites is the caviar with Ritz crackers, tartar sauce, egg, and chives. It sounds simple but it's done really well. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of both the drinks and food makes it worth it.

We went up to Traveling Mercies so we could get an after dinner cocktail or two. It is a cute cozy little restaurant and cocktail place and we were seated at a 4 top table quickly. The two gentlemen working last night were so friendly and accommodating! Quick to give drink opinions and recommendations, we liked what we ordered for sure. Good cocktails and good vibes all around. We definitely would like to come back to try other drinks and dinner! I am not an oyster person, but they definitely had more than oysters to eat ;)

You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it. We shared the burger (honestly one of the best we've had), the panzanella salad, and deviled eggs - all impressive. Drinks were excellent - the mezcal negroni, stockyard pony, and house spritz. We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed evening with someone you love.

We left feeling satisfied and happy, and I can't wait to return to explore more of their menu!

I also got the iced Salted Butterscotch Latte, which was SO good and definitely a highlight. The staff was very friendly, and we had a great waiter who made the experience even better.

We had a 5:45 PM reservation but the dining room was already full, so we sat at the bar and were immediately offered menus, water, and house-made chips and homemade salsa (Aaaah-mazing salsa!). Service was friendly and welcoming from our server Hunter to the bartenders and food runners -- everyone was happy to chat. We sampled a couple cocktails (Elderflower Prickly Pear and the Spicy Mezcal). If you like mezcal, the Spicy Mezcal is a perfect balance of heat and bright citrus. The prickly pair is too sweet for my taste buds but love the presentation. For my entrée I tried the Nomada's Best of Plate -- a grilled taco, chicken enchilada (I added green chili), and crispy carnitas (I ate these with a tortilla). All three were excellent and distinct; the chicken enchilada was my favorite and likely what I'll order next time. My wife had the crispy carnitas fajitas -- a generous portion and very easy to eat thanks to a thoughtful presentation. Highly recommend -- just be sure to make a reservation.

I have had basically the entire menu and there's truly not a bad item, with there of course being some standouts.

I was sad when they stopped doing the $5 before 5 deal but $6 isn't bad either at allll, and I definitely will utilize it. The bottle club is honestly a great deal too if you're someone who lives near a postino. Always a great wine selection and always a guaranteed an aesthetic interior at any location. Love love love Postino and highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

My friend also ordered the salad with the candied walnuts, and when it came out, it had barely any toppings. She almost was too shy to say something, but I spoke up for her and the kitchen remade her salad with no issue, luckily, it was much better the second time around Our server was super sweet and attentive. I don't think we got a name though. Thank you for a nice time!

It was not particularly busy when I came in and there was a live pianist that evening. I sat at the hightop by the bar. The fish and chips were spectacular with or without the mustard remoulade (which is also good with it). The chips (fries) with their Garlic aioli is always good too. Unfortunately, this is where the good review ends. I enjoy Officer's club immensely and have the goof fortune of having dined here numerous times. This is why at this particular visit, the bad service stood out! My waitress never came back to check on me even to refill my water. I had to catch another waiter's attention to ask for water and to put in my dessert order. The waiter promptly told me that I could always just grav one of the waitstaff's attention if I needed anything. I had figured that if my absentee waitress was going to go on break or leaving (she had alerted me on neither) that she would have at least relayed my table to be tended to by somone else. 5 stars on the food, but an abyssmal 1 star for the service; evening out to 3 stars.

There was an indoor waterfall, insanely high buttresses, fireplaces, multiple restaurants, and yes, actual trees growing in the middle of the dining area. I had to remind myself I wasn't outside. We didn't have to wait to be seated, which was a great start. The dinner menu was a little limited, but I had a feeling it was going to be good. I ordered the bison meatloaf and wow... it practically melted in my mouth. The wine mushroom reduction brought everything together perfectly. The roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts had the best crunch, and the mashed potatoes were so creamy and delicate there were no leftovers. My dad ordered the roasted chicken and said it was incredibly moist and flavorful. My mom's bison burger was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. The double fried French fries absolutely stole the show though. Somehow they were extra crispy without being overdone. For dessert we shared the skillet cookie, and it was the perfect sweet, indulgent ending to the meal. After a full day of traveling, this was exactly what we needed. We finished the evening sitting outside by the fire with everyone relaxing around us, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. I'd happily come back for that meatloaf alone.

The staff has typically recognized us and welcomed us in. But tonight was a mess. We ordered food, and no one had the courtesy to say to us, we have a large party outside, it might be an hour before you get your food. That would have put the ball in our court and legitimately made it our decision. The manager, owner/operator, a gentleman with a shaved head told me it was our fault for not being aware of the situation around us. This all while he busied himself doing shots behind the bar. With all due respect, he did comp our tab, (which was not our goal) and we asked a bartender to ring up $1 so we could tip the staff, which we did. I fear, based on our experience, and after 9 years of loyal patronage, this is likely not our neighborhood pub any longer. Bummer.
