    Rotisserie poulet rouge
    Sammy T.

    Had a great meal at Heretik! We ordered a few dishes and honestly everything was delicious. The bread and butter was pretty standard. The deviled eggs with tartare were my absolute favorite (100/10). The tuna paired so well with the deviled eggs and each bite was soft, flavorful and packed with flavor. The chicken wings stuffed with boudin blanc and romesco were also really good. The chicken skin was crispy which I loved. The scallops a la plancha with bearnaise and seaweed were another standout. Definitely a must-order! 100/10 For the main, we had the rotisserie poulet rouge. The in-house roasted chicken was juicy and delicious, and the sauce it came with was amazing. The fries were a perfect match. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The deviled eggs, scallops, and roasted chicken are dishes I would order again in a heartbeat!

    Heretik is easily one of my favorite Denver openings of the year -- and already one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The space is cozy and charming but still stylish. The people are all great: every interaction we had was fantastic -- from the chef coming out to say hi, to the knowledgeable bar staff, to all the friendly servers. This place is a dream for wine nerds while still approachable for casual drinkers. One of the coolest wine programs I've seen in Denver. Expect Txakolina poured dramatically from high above the glass, unique off-menu bottles, and a serious focus on Jura wines -- those funky oxidative French alpine whites with nutty, savory, almost sherry-like flavors that are still pretty rare to find in Denver. The food absolutely lives up to the beverage program. The menu leans Basque-inspired with lots of seafood-forward share plates, but there honestly wasn't a miss. Favorites included the matrimonio pastry with anchovy, uni toast, deviled eggs topped with ahi tuna, the seafood platter, and surprisingly one of the standout dishes of the night: the half chicken. And of course, you have to finish with the Basque cheesecake. This is the kind of place that feels thoughtful, unique, and genuinely exciting for Denver's dining scene without trying too hard. We will absolutely be back.

    All the hype is well deserved. The ambiance, food and hospitality are second to none. Thank you chef Theo and your GM for a wonderful experience. While we enjoyed the signature chicken we will definitely go for our seafood platter next time. Favorites included the uni, the mackerel on toast and those luscious tomatoes. The pan con tomate Martini is exceptional. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu.

    Came here recently for date night with my wife and had a great time. Having been to the sister restaurant Marigold in Lyons, we were super excited to check this place out! We ordered a few smaller tapas plates for sharing. Most of them were fairly tasty but definitely a few disappointments. Bread and butter - the bread and butter was pretty good but massively brought down by the fact that the bread was not toasted and was served cold instead. The butter was nice bit after the wonderful bread and butter experience at Madeline, this was one of the biggest disappointment of the night. 2/5 Stuffed Chicken Wing - really interesting dish. The wings are stuffed with boudin blanc and served with a romesco sauce. Super tasty and the boudin blanc is nice and juicy inside. Overall, we really enjoyed the the wings. 4/5 Matrimonio - lightly pickled mackerel over phyllo cracker. This is one of my favorite dish of the nice. The fattiness of mackerel with a slight sourness from the vinegar paired super well with the cracker and yuzu kosho sauce. I could easily down a dozen of these. 5/5 Scallop a la plancha - grilled scallop with bearnaise and seaweed. This was a split for us. I enjoyed the dish but my wife did not like it at all due to the amount of bearnaise on the scallop. The scallop was well cooked and fresh, but the dish does eat a little watery with all the sauce. 3/5 Now onto the main show. We ordered the whole rotisserie chicken. This is definitely the dish to order here as centerpiece for the table. The chicken is super juicy and well-seasoned. The chicken jus was incredible, and the sauce verte was nice and herby to brighten every bite. The fries were crunchy and addicting, though I could see this being just as good with a side of roasted potatoes. 5/5 Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. The service was attentive and the food was great for the most part. The price is a little bit higher for what you get ($68 for the whole rotisserie chicken hurts a fair bit especially since we've been to chicken riot recently) but the quality of the food was good. I would recommend a visit, though I'm not sure if I'll return too often given the fairly limited menu right now.

    Half chicken
    Will S.

    New spot in the rino area! Upscale French restaurant with great wine-bar vibes. Super friendly staff! The menu is super funky, the apps were okay but the half chicken was insane. The half chicken came on a bed of French fries and it was the best French fry I've ever had (yes I've been to McDonald's, it's better). The two apps we got really were funky. The deviled eggs were good but at the same time were a texture nightmare. I think deviled eggs are so soft and the tuna tartare is also soft so it was strange. Flavor was awesome but texture wasn't for me. I ate them separately. The pinto wasn't too good, the tuna was a little fishy. Now, the half chicken stole the show!! Amazing!! And the fries were the best I've ever had, not joking. The wine selection was awesome. I got the txakoli unfiltered knowing nothing about it and it was delicious! Chilled and great on a hot day!! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!! Super happy to have it in the neighborhood

    Great vibe, the server provides excellent recommendations which is amazing to have a grasp within seconds after we sat down. All presentation, aroma, and taste are a striking experience. Highly recommend!

    Epic basque cheesecake

    This is an easy, five stars for me. Visited shortly after they opened and again recently. Everything about the space is inviting and sets the perfect stage for the experience. The rotisserie glass ovens behind the chefs counter, the open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared right in front of you is how I wish every meal could be! I love going during golden hour when the sun shines through the windows and the whole staff is cascade in rainbows. But the food is what keeps me coming back for sure! The rotisserie chicken is the juiciest most tender chicken I've ever had, it really can't be missed! They have a pan con tomate, topped with Santa Barbara Uni, and a tiny little Poiquillo pepper that might just be the most perfect bite in Denver! And on my most recent visit, I tried their deviled eggs that are stuffed with a tuna tartare... Let me tell you I don't like deviled eggs, ever. That has officially changed. These are phenomenal! The cocktails are super on point, they even have a house main Negroni that served from a Spanish decanter. All these little touches are what make this one of the most excellent dining experiences of the year for me so far!

    Diver scallop with bernaise sauce. Outstanding.

Outside, there appeared to be some construction going on where there'd be outdoor seating, but it was too hot anyway so we wandered on in.

Ultimately, we ordered the following: Artichoke tortelloni Eric's bao-nuts Gabe's chronic chicken salad sandwich Rioja Benedict Colorado lamb burger From beginning to end, all the dishes were exceptional! Everyone loved their meal! The artichoke tortelloni was enough as an appetizer for a party of 4. Apparently, we ordered a "desert" with the Eric's bao-nuts to start everything off. This in itself was so good, I'd go back just for this if I had the chance. I personally had the colorado lamb burger. I generally tend to eat light and don't finish my meals in one sitting. This definitely wasn't the case. The presentation for the burger caught my attention as well. We were so happy with our meals that we decided to get a "2nd desert", the flourless fudge torte. Man, I'm impressed. Chocolate was not too rich or sweet, loved the cherry compote. This is was a winner! Overall, it was a great lunch dining experience to start off my mother's birthday.

First drinks, then specials and a handful of tapas while our last guest arrived. Followed by a full on tapas conquest to try every single dish (without seafood). The staff brought several dishes at a time, ensuring we weren't overwhelmed with too many at one time. Perfectly timing the next round of tapas, with new dinner plates, and the next round of drinks. Our waters were consistently topped off. It was a lot! We were a handful! Our waiter (Christian S) knew exactly what to do. Exactly what drinks to recommend. Exactly which tapas and desserts to recommend. Exactly what to say to make us laugh. He rounded out the experience to ensure it was a perfect evening! Thank you Christian! These were some of the highlights: Pan with the homemade salsa verde as well as the pan de tomato The pork with manchego, pepper special was divine! As well as the chicken with garbanzos! Amazing flavor and sauces. The ham, Salchicha, chorizo, olives tray was incredible Other amazing tapas included beets, mushrooms, Spanish tortilla, patatas bravas, meatballs/albondigas, carrot salad, chicken croquetas and the salmon special Followed by churros with chocolate, flan and crema catalana for dessert. It was a delicious meal with a wonderful staff! We would highly recommend and we will definitely return! My only regret is we didn't take pictures of the food except the first one! Beets with Valencia orange and lemon (not sure on the exact name). It was so flavorful, as were all the tapas! Wow! Best meal in Denver we've had in a while!

    The Ninth Door to Spanish Serenity (and a Secret Time Machine)…read more For my very first night in Denver, my local "foodie" friends led the way to 9th Door, and it was the perfect introduction to the city's dining scene. After a heavy lunch, the prospect of Spanish tapas was exactly what I needed--light, social, and full of variety. The Experience Since my friends are regulars, I let them take the reins on ordering. We started with sangria for the table, which set a relaxed, celebratory tone for the evening. The tapas that followed were all impeccably sized and flavorful. The Standout: I was pleasantly surprised by the dates. It's a dish I might not ordinarily choose myself, but it ended up being a highlight of the meal. The Vibe: The atmosphere is "buzzing" in the best way possible. It has an inviting layout with a mix of bar seating, tables, and cozy booths that create a "friends among friends" energy. The "Speakeasy" Aesthetic What really sets this place apart is the ambiance. It has a distinct speakeasy feel that makes you feel as though you've stepped back in time. It's sophisticated yet unpretentious--a rare balance to strike. The Verdict If you're looking for a spot to decompress after a high-velocity work week, this is it. It's a relaxing, high-quality environment that focuses on great conversation and even better food. I'll certainly be back next time I'm in town!

And from that point on, from first taste, I knew my experience would be exceptional. The service was attentive without being overly attentive, and the chef's were so kind, answering every one of my weird questions about what they were preparing or ingredients that I noticed. I ordered the smoked burrata to start. The balance between the candied pistachio, artichoke pesto, and wagyu cecina really created a well balanced and unexpected dish. The burrata was creamy and the salty and sweet components balanced the aged sherry gastrique and made for an incredible intro to a beautiful performance by the chefs. Next was another small dish, which I wish I remembered the description for (I need to bring a little notebook with me), but it was a perfect segue into the next course, the ibérico presa. Wow. Just wow. White asparagus has got to be one of my favorite vegetables next to artichokes, when done exceptionally well, as they most definitely were. The piquillo peppers and pickled shallots complemented the pork, which was so soft, perfectly. I definitely died and went to heaven at this point in the meal. This is probably when I should've stopped eating because after this point, still pure delight, but my poor stomach was soooooo full. Next was another small bite to lead into my next course, also incredible. Wish I could describe it. My next course was the European sea bass. Now, sea bass is my favorite fish of all time. The perfectly crisp skin, the red onion jam, the spicy sweet balance was perfection. I loved every bite. The olive oil potatoes were a perfect complement. And at this point, I was bursting at the seems... but I still ordered dessert, because you only live once and food is one of the great joys of life. For dessert, I had the crema. The honeycomb on top, the cherries, all leading to a perfect finish. A time was had. Thanks El Five

My husband had the happy hour special of the evening, a very large serving of large mussels with grilled sourdough and a lucious broth. We also had some small plate tapas and I mostly grazed those. I love Bocarones and they do it so well though for me last night, the peppers were a bit too spicy. But I got the majority of the little fishies, my husband the peppers.. We also had the tortilla papas and the charred Hazel Dell mushrooms which were excellent. The little salad topping on the tortilla was full of specialty greens like fennel fronds and pea shoots. The mushrooms has a warm egg yolk on top to stir into the dressing which was tasty. We finished with their flan which was as good as my Spanish born neighbor made in my youth. I had a very nice tea with it. I was originally going to knock off a star for pricing but honestly, I don't think they have much option these days. But sadly we will go less frequently in the future.
