Food highlights were definitely the chickpea fritters (delicious!), pull-apart bread, lamb meatballs, and scallops. For our main course, we ordered the scallops and the cabbage, which came highly recommended. The cabbage was probably our least favorite dish of the night, and my husband and I agreed we would have happily ordered two rounds of the scallops instead! The overall experience was great, and the service was really good, especially considering how busy they were. Great food, fun atmosphere, and such a cool experience watching everything come together from the bar. Would absolutely recommend!

This was a big one for us!! We came to Major Tom to celebrate our recent engagement and my…read morebirthday, and it could not have been a better choice. We got all dressed up, made a night out of it, and felt like royalty from the moment we sat down. We chose to sit at the bar, and I think that's the best way to experience this place. Watching the chefs cook and plate every dish right in front of you is so fun to see. The kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine, and everyone works with so much care and respect for what they're doing. Our server was amazing. They knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made us feel so welcome without ever being overbearing. One of my favorite parts was the postcard they give you with your bill. You can have them mail it to you later, which is such a fun little keepsake from the night Everything about this place feels thoughtful. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. This has officially become our special occasion spot, and we'll definitely be back.

On the higher end of price, but overall it was a great experience. I started with a hibiscus marg that was so balanced and delicious. One of the better margs I've had in Denver! My friend got a sangria and love it. Another got a pisco sour & was very happy. The guac was delicious - chips were perfect & it had lots of yummy things in it Peruvian ceviche - tasty with hints of spice Beef anticuchos - amazing. The potatoes and corn on the plate were so good Pork belly anticuchos- even better than the beef!!! My favorite Empanadas- incredible! My friends favorite of the night Happy with everything and enjoyed the small plate style. Will be back

Food? Amazing. Honestly every dish was great, and I really enjoyed each bite. Left the restaurant…read morefeeling like a beached whale, because I just had to have each bite. It really was so delicious. Standouts: Ceviche - loved the sweet potato in it, and the flavor was there with every bite. Smashed avocado - COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T CARE FOR AVOCADO.....delicious. Great spices, pomegranate seeds (stealing that idea), salty chips, perfect starter. Did not care for either of the drinks I had (white wine and a red sangria), however looking around the cocktails really seemed to shine. I probably would have fared better with those. Unfortunately, I felt like the service was lacking. The hostess wasn't super accommodating, we had to repeat ourselves a lot with ordering, and the staff felt a little too laissez faire for the price point of the restaurant. Lots of chatting amongst themselves and facial expressions that just felt unprofessional around customers. I debated between 3 and 4 stars, and honestly while eating I thought for sure 4 stars (it really was so good), but as I thought about it I likely wouldn't return because of the general vibe we got while there. I think it's a great place to try out! Also, patio is very very hot even with the fans, so request indoors if you can, UNLESS, you can sit at sunset. Gorgeous.

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Denver, located in the Highlands neighborhood…read more It's old school (originally opened in the 1930s) serving great authentic Italian food with an interesting history. Back in the 1950s & 60s it had a unique connection to organized crime & was known as a hub for mobsters. This is a lively place with a cool vibe playing music from the 50s, 60s & 70s. I especially enjoyed the Motown sound. Lots of windows, both booths & tables were comfy & cushioned. Jack was our server & he was very friendly & attentive. We arrived for Brunch on a Sunday afternoon & the place was busy. We had Cheese Bread with Marinara, Lasagna & Chicken Parmigiana. Our dishes were delicious! The bread was a meal in its self with a really tasty sauce. The lasagna was very good as well but the parmigiana was even better...crispy flavorful chicken. What tied all this together was the scrumptious red sauce used in everything we ate. It was awesome with a spicy kick. This was an amazing meal & I look forward to trying some of their dishes from the dinner menu like the Lobster Ravioli & the Chicken Marsala.

Snacks, charcuterie boards, sandwiches, salads many shareable items. The experience is all weighing on the service and that is what was lacking on my visit. The waiter showed me which side of the menu was white wine and which was red. I ordered white wine, ended up being served a glass of red. I didn't complain, just decided to be a good sport. I ordered a panini which was much smaller than the waiter described and it was cold. I ordered a full salad, he brought a half salad. Water was only served after being requested halfway through the meal, as he never came over to check on us once the order was placed. I did try repeatedly to capture his attention but I suppose we were invisible? Normally, I am a 5 star girl but this dinner was a total disaster anything that could go wrong did go wrong. One of the worst dining experiences I have had in yrs. I might give the restaurant another try as it was highly recommended to me but never on a weekend. Parking was also very difficult with limited street parking.

Loved the perfectly chewy ropes of bucatini tangled with crumbled blue cheese, Castelvetrano olives -- and vodka sauce? This should've been a weird disaster, but wound up being our table's favorite dish. Every dish is a commitment to the genuinely unexpected. There was something delightfully more than just salt, pepper and fry behind the eggroll-sized mozarella sticks. Then there was the fig gelato, flanked by warm pear -- and oh my gosh, the apple tart! We had to go back and reread the menu to realize that the caramel really was spicy! This kitchen really finds the funky note in a dish and leans into it. Come ready to share. Every item comes in a "single" and a "mingle" size, which was great for our table of four. We would order 1-2 mingle-sized items, pass them around, and argue about who gets the last forkful. The rough edge is perhaps the service, but this spot is new and finding its rhythm. We found the handoff between counter and floor to be clunky, since it felt like pressure to order in order to be seated, not to order drinks and wait for a table. Maybe this works in a larger space. Maybe they just need to smooth out the flow. Either way, the people are sweet, and the food delicious.

We came here for a nice dinner night out after hearing great things about the restaurants and I was…read moresomewhat disappointed. Coming into it, I know Boombots has an eclectic restaurant with a fusion pasta menu, and I was fully on board with trying some weird, funky pasta. The restaurant was nicely laid out and decorated, and the vibes are great. The drinks are delicious and they have one of my favorite non-alcoholic cocktails (What the Hellyante). However, the mains come and the wheels fell apart. We got the congee risotto, the bucatini primavera, and the gyros cavatelli. Let's start with the positive. The bucatini primavera was tasty. The pasta was well cooked and everything ate very well together, albeit a little dry. Overall, a good dish. The congee risotto was also not bad. It was definitely one of the dish I was looking forward as someone who followed their Instagram, but the execution was off. The rice was well cooked but it ate just a tad bland. The 63 degree egg was just a tad over and unfortunately, the told was on the cold side. That said, it was tasty nonetheless. My least favorite part was the amount of toasted seeds on top. There was simply too much and it knocked the balance of the dish towards overly crunchy, which is not necessarily what you expect in a risotto or a congee dish. Finally, the gyros cavatelli was just not it. In my opinion, the dish just didn't work for me. It's a dish with za'atar pasta, gyros, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onions, crispy chickpeas, dill, nad tzakiki. The warm tzakiki sauce along with the picked red onions and cherry tomatoes ensure the dish eats on the sour side. For me as well, the warm tzakiki was off putting in smell and taste. The pasta was also undercooked and grainy. It wasn't al dente, just undercooked. And with everything, the gyros is kind of lost. Overall, just a really odd dish in terms of conception and execution, and one that I didn't enjoy. Overall, I will be generous and give 3/5. I think service was pretty good, the drinks were delicious, and the price was acceptable. Other dishes, such as the lumache and the salads, looks pretty good as well. But based on what I got today, I cannot recommend the dishes we got at Boombots.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

The restaurant is stylish and modern, with a beautiful pearl chandelier. To go along with the "pearl" theme, they are known for oysters and champagne... two of my favorite things. The happy hour doesn't have spectacular prices, but it does offer a discount on several champagnes by the glass, cocktails and small bites. Oysters are $2.50 each and glasses of Veuve are $20. I really liked the chill vibe of the restaurant. It felt very classy and the service was excellent. I went to happy hour on Thursday by myself, and again on Saturday with a friend. During that time, I tried a few different champagnes and several appetizers. They offer both east coast and west coast oysters. I chose east coast, as they are typically my favorite. They were beautifully served on a tray of fake pearls. I will say the oysters were good, but I have had much better. They were just on the small side and were underwhelming. My very favorite item was the shooter. It was a lobster bisque shooter in a small cup adorned with a bit of termpura lobster. It was absolutely delicious. I also tried the slider, rice and dumpling. All were good. Though I was a bit disappointed in the oysters, I really enjoyed my time at Call Me Pearl. They also give you affirmation cards with your check, and there are free postcards at the entrance. It is really a cool experience. If I return to the Rally Hotel, I will definitely come to the happy hour at Call Me Pearl.
