I went to Local Jones because I was seeing their cute little greenhouse outdoor pods and I really wanted to try it out for a date night! The ambiance in the heated pods was great! I can't speak to the food at all because we were just getting cocktails in the evening, so please take that into consideration! The cocktails weren't amazing though, in my opinion. I had a margarita, which was good and tasted like a margarita but that's kindof a given in my opinion. My boyfriend had a different drink which was extremely bitter and made both of us pucker up a bit at the aftertaste. It really wasn't pleasant to drink at all so he asked for a different drink, and tried the Chai martini instead. It was good but honestly was nothing special and I personally felt it was too heavy on the chai. Overall, I just felt that the cocktails were average, hence the three star. Our waitress was really nice though so that is a plus!! read more

The decor in this restaurant is gorgeous. My friend and I went for appetizers here and it did not disappoint. We are both on diet plans and our server was helpful in making suggestions. We ordered the market crudo (meh), Brussels sprouts, cucumber and avocado salad and oysters. The last three dishes were amazing. I want to go back snd order one of their entrees. read more

awesome food fantastic service great ambience wonderful waitresses, waiters, and bartenders !!!! would definitely recommend it if you're headed to Denver Colorado won't regret it read more

Came here for a drink with a friend and stayed for its service. I ordered him and tonic but the summer gin was too sweet for me. Other drinks were pretty good, only the gin. The bartender found out about it and removed the charge. It was very sweet of her. We did not order food this time but I had dined here before and loved the food and the vibe so I suggested to come here for a drink to my friend. We were very satisfied with the service and will come back again soon! read more

Great food but the best service I have ever gotten at a bar. Literally nothing was missed and he was so busy! One of the best experiences I have had. When the bartender can explain everything on a cheese and charcuterie board, that is impressive!!! read more

Excellent cocktail and appetizer, gorgeous ambiance. Outdoor seating on the patio with covid and indoor seating is all open air. A new gem in Cherry Creek and I look forward to returning! read more

Local Jones is the local J-A-M Was so impressed with the Halcyon update. The food was fresh. I was very impressed with the salad options. Everything on the menu seemed very crafted and tailored to Colorado. The cocktails were a stand out in cherry creek. Ask for Madeline she was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. read more

My husband and I ate at Local Jones for the second time last night and let me tell you, it is nothing short of remarkable. The menu has something for everyone. The staff is incredibly friendly and two of the managers Charli and Micah stopped by our table to check on us which added to the experience. A few must try items are the beet hummus, roasted carrots, the mashed potatoes are, without a doubt, the best we have ever had...anywhere. The steak and fish entrees were prepared to perfection and they always have a really creative special. If you like a good cocktail, I recommend the Confluence. This new restaurant is just what Cherry Creek North needed! read more

We came here on a whim while in Cherry Creek and had the most pleasant experience. Arrived a little earlier to make happy hour, and so glad we got to try the beef tartare and oysters. As for mains, the burger was absolutely delicious! Isaac and his trainee left us feeling cared for and couldn't have been better hosts for our first visit. We will be back! read more

Croque Monsieur - The best sandwich on the planet - it is a toasted sourdough bread that is filled with the best quality ham and wonderful Gruyère cheese. It is grilled until toasty and then covered in a béchamel sauce and toped with a fried egg - a French classic... and thia restaurant located in the Halcyon Hotel Cherry Creek made one that was amazing - perfect insommany ways - quality ingredients, toasted to perfection until the cheese melted and then covered in a flavorful Béchanmel sauce then topped with a prefect sunny side up egg and some fresh herbs to add a fresh herbal note to the cheesiness - they could put a lot of cafés in Paris to shame... shame I don't have a photo - it looked so good I just dived in - and it tasted better than it looked.... Think a light and fluffy grilled cheese on toasted sourdough with a creamy sauce on top - a bed for the perfect sunny side up egg on top... relaxed cool decor, great music (DJ) and charming service - what's not to love? read more

Very, very disappointing experience. None of the three dishes our table ordered were actually tasty and one was so bad that we sent it back, but we still had to pay for it. The service was very slow and the waiter paid little attention to the mask mandate for the staff, choosing instead to wear his mask below his nose and mouth. read more

Attractive space caused us to want to eat here but food was beyond disappointing. Ordered braised beef and dumplings. Asked the server if it was short rib and he said yes. Couldn't have been as it was so tough and flavorless. Boring preparation. Grossly undercooked. Dumplings were strips that looked like rectangular pieces of toast that had no taste and awful texture. Service started strong but barely saw our server second half of meal. Won't be back. Too many decent places more favorably priced to give LJ a second chance. read more

We were excited to give Local Jones a try during Denver Restaurant Week. We reviewed other nearby menus and decided on Local Jones. Our reservation was for the patio which was great for a spring evening. We opted for the $45 menu. All the potions were small. I'm all about European sized portions as opposed to what we're used to here in the US but we felt hungry when we left. Also, the menu was different than what was posted online and on the menus at the table. The service was fair - our own server did not ask if we wanted additional drinks or water. The other servers were helpful though. A plus was new utensils were brought with each course. Not sure I'd return to Local Jones. read more

Very mediocre experience. We went during lunch and were one of two tables occupied in the entire restaurant. we both ordered a ceasar salad as our meal which took over an hour to be delivered to our table. The server's excuse was that the chicken breast needed to be cooked fresh. It does not take an hour to cool one chicken breast.... the entire hour we waited for our food, we never once saw our server. Salads were ok, I've had better. For two salads in an empty restaurant, I do not understand why the service was so bad and the food so slow. The restaurant's decor is super cute though.... read more

Wonderful dining experience! We sat in the greenhouse and ordered the enchiladas, half chicken, and the homemade pasta. All the entrees were absolutely incredible. Madeline was our server and she was a complete delight! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Cool place and a cool vibe. Food and wine were good but extra credit goes to Kimberly who was great. Super kind, helped with my order and hustled. She provided friendly, top notch service. read more

This place is super cute. Stopped by on a whim for our 13th wedding anniversary. When we arrived at 5:45 pm, the hostess was a lil' wonky? The place was practically empty, yet she behaved as though there were no tables, like stressed AF? She then started talking about a 7 "rez" and wasn't sure if she could seat us? She commented to us about "lounging around." I was annoyed and told her we were looking for a nice dinner and promised to leave as soon as we ate (this was the third restaurant we walked into in the area). She laughed and said we could stay for as long as we want??? She walked us to the right and front of the restaurant where we were seated next to a "private room" (curtains no walls). Oddly she then walked into a pillar... Anyways, we ordered food and drinks, stayed till 6:45 ish and left. Small menu but good food and eats. We ordered the half chicken and risotto with shrimp, and then shared the almond coconut cake for dessert. Will we go back? Nah. read more

I went to Local Jones to go have champagne and a bite to eat. My waitress was AMAZING! Brie made my experience PERFECT! I am very very picky and she always had a smile and made sure my order was what I had asked for. My experience was so lovely that I went back the next day! I am headed back to Denver tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing Brie again! read more

I went to Local Jones recently and it was decent. Having everything open air made me feel better about sitting inside the bar area because there was still good air circulation. The first thing I noticed was how cute the bar was. I love the aesthetic of the space- very modern but comfortable with neutral tones and pops of color, lush furniture and gold accents and good lighting. At the table, the chairs were comfortable but i didn't love that the wood of the table made spots uneven- I almost spilled my water several time because I would set it down on a knot or bump in the table. I was a little confused by their menu. Just by the way it was even setup with Mains listed first then starters off to the side and the saying "a taste of cowboy life" didn't make sense to me. I get that there are ribs and trout and steak but it just didn't seem to exactly fit. The cocktails were good- I had the confluence and it was quite tasty. A friend of mine had one of their spirit free drinks and enjoyed it as well. We had mostly starters including the beet hummus, the broiled shrimp, roasted octopus, beef tartar and chrispy potatoes. The chrispy potatoes were very smoky but not much flavor otherwise and were the least favorite of the group. The shrimp was good but I was a little thrown off by the presentation as it was a big bowl with a little bit of diced shrimp in the bottom with some crusty bread on the side. The bread was the best part of that dish as it was charred and soft yet crunchy with some great flavor. The octopus was really good and I loved the puttanesca sauce it was served with- I dipped the bread from the shrimp in that and it was excellent. The beet hummus had a great amount of flavor, was beautifully presented and was enjoyed by all. Oh and the beef tartar was great too, loved that it was served with big potato chips. Besides the starters we had the Enchiladas. They're called green chili and cheese Enchiladas but they also have pork in them which made them much heartier and more filling. We ordered two for the table and each order came with 3 Enchiladas which was perfect for our group of 6. The Enchiladas were mt favorite part of the meal- they were cheesy and had the right balance of salt and acid from the green chili and lime crema. Overall we enjoyed everything but didn't feel that the quality totally matched up with the price point. It wasn't a cheap dinner by any means and I am understanding we were in Cherry Creek but for what we paid, everything was good, just not exceptional in any way. read more

Great place and food! Lots of plants make the place feel really homey... would recommend for everyone! read more

See all

Surprisingly bad food. The drinks were good and the service was fine but I've never had such unpleasant food in cherry creek. I can't recommend. read more

This was a beyond disappointing experience, we went for a friend's birthday. The waitress spilled drinks on the birthday girls lap it took two hours to get our food and the manager blamed the spill on my friend! A second person from our party had hot sauce dumped in her lap and then all over her Jacket. The manager tried blame the spills on our group then threatens to call the police. Our food was two hours delayed and was sub par. Would not recommend. read more

I'm not sure why some people are saying this place has good food because it doesn't. I asked a couple different servers about the drink menu as well as the food menu and they seemed unfamiliar with both. We ordered the mussels and almost half of them were empty shells. The caesar salad was drenched in dressing and the pasta dish was thick with an overwhelming sharp white cheddar cheese sauce. Very disappointing. read more

6 of us had dinner on a Friday night at Local Jones. It's a really good looking place, with a good energy. We were seated in a somewhat private room with curtains separating it from the main dining room. We didn't draw them closed, but the room was just a bit quieter than the main dining room and that made talking much easier. Loved it! The cocktail selection was good, although I found the same drink to be different from round one to round two. The food was terrific. We had some very good starters (crab artichoke beignets, beet hummus, daily bread), then just two mains between us (crispy salmon, and strip steak). For dessert we shared an orange creamsicle and an almond joy---both "smallish," but also delicious. The service was adequate (server didn't have much personality, forgot stuff, in a hurry to close us out---came back from signed receipts, never to be seen again), but not the restaurant's strong suit. Probably due to staffing shortages and compromises that must be made. After dinner a few of us stayed for another drink in the bar area. It took a while to get a server's attention. The tables next to us were never bused the whole time we were there. The room lights were turned up at 10 pm, which seemed awfully early for a Friday. They have valet parking, which made life a lot easier. We'd definitely go back with lower service expectations, unfortunately. read more

Excellent service! It was Valentine's Day and seriously Cold. But the staff especially Micah who offered exceptional service on a horrible night! The food was very delicious. My sweetheart and I will be back soon! read more

I could go on about how incredible the food was here. I'll just say the fancy mashed potato evoked an emotional response out of me and I just couldn't stop smiling. The entrees we got were fantastic, I had the meatless risotto and it was delicious. read more

One of the best restaurants I have ever dined at. The food was delicious and the menu was filled with many wonderful options. The staff was very respectful and energetic. read more

Disappointed- we came for Brunch on Saturday we had a reservation but had arrived 20 minutes early, the restaurant was about 1/3 full but the hostess said we can't seat you before your reservation if you come early it's a 30 minute wait, what ? We asked if we could sit at the bar, ordered coffee and before it was served she came to seat us in a high traffic area right next to another couple despite more than 75% of the restaurant was empty. Food was meh, not great - our sever was attentive. Why put on big airs I don't understand this type of attitude in Denver, plus by the time we left the restaurant was bare. Need some front staff training! read more

Our bartender Rick was amazing! What a nice guy. It was so refreshing to be served by a gentleman who seems to really care not only about the customers but the customers experience. He was an absolute joy and we will absolutely be back! read more

Felt like I was on vacation! Wonderful menu in upscale yet cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

OMG, Local Jones was definitely astonishing. It's the little things that make Local Jones so awesome. Local Jones has a terrific Avocado Toast, this was my very first time trying it at this restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The service and the menu quality were exceptionally surprising. I can not wait to return! read more

we usually cook for Thanksgiving but wanted to switch it up this year and keep it easy. we heard local jones was doing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and we are so glad we went! the food was tastey, the service was impecable and the ambiance was lively. we left happy, full, and grateful we didn't need to clean up afterwards read more

Loved the ambience. The food was pretty tasty although the shrimp seemed a little off ;-) fantastic whiskey made up for that.

Came here for a quick drink and had an amazing experience! Not only because of how amazing the drinks were (and they were) but the bartender really created a whole experience and a great time for us. Extremely polite, professional and made some of the best drinks we've had. Thank you Rick! This man is an absolute treasure. We will be returning for more drinks and can only hope we get served by the legend himself. Thank you Rick for everything! read more

Overpriced and average. If you're staying in the hotel, eat here-it's fine. But if you're looking for a fun place in Denver for brunch, look elsewhere. So many better places! Service was inattentive. Hostess was disorganized. Food was good, not great. Small portion sizes if you're super starving-this isn't the place. Just.....mehhhhhhh. read more

Lovely place to get fancy drinks with friends and eat good food one of my fave restaurant in cherry creek

My husband and I stopped in the bar after an afternoon of Christmas shopping. Our martinis were great as was the food. I can recommend the bolognese and the bass. Our service (thank you Iris) was very attentive. The atmosphere is very cool, too. Great lighting! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant twice while staying at the Halcyon Hotel. Once just to have dessert and once for dinner. I wish I would have taken pictures the food looked and tasted phenomenal. I decided to try foods for dinner that I have never had before and I am really glad I did. Starting with appetizers I had the Beet Humus it was delicious. I also had the Hamachi Ceviche. Never ever would I have tried this had I known what it was but I am so glad I did. Wow that chef knows what he is doing. For dinner I had the Halabit. I am not a person who would normally choose to have fish but it was soo good. Not real fishy tasting. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very accommodating and we even had Charlie and the chef himself stop by our table to see if we were satisfied with our food. Everyone is so kind. I will be sure to go there again if I get back to Denver. read more

I booked the Local Jones' Elevated Winter Experience our anniversary dinner. It was a rooftop "winter cabana" on the Halcyon Hotel's rooftop. First the good, the food was really good with a definite focus on farm-fresh seasonal ingredients. The cabana looked really great though just a personal preference, I would have preferred it without the super bright neon sign inside the tent. The not so good, several cabanas were right next to the pool which for about an hour of our dinner was being used by families with screaming children. Certainly no fault of the families because that's what a pool is meant for but not conducive to a romantic ambiance. Also the seating wasn't particularly comfortable. There were only two of us so we shared the patio bench but we both acknowledged with a party of four, I wouldn't want to be relegated to the wood, slat-back outdoor chairs. Yes, they have blankets, an electric fireplace and a heater but the latter two hardly gave off any heat and the generator was out for part of our meal. Luckily it was upper 30's that night and with our coats and a blanket we were somewhat warm. If the weather had been below freezing, I don't think it would have been comfortable. My final complaint (for which we do bear some responsibility) was that the staff didn't tell us that gratuity was included in the bill. I booked the reservation and my husband didn't know how much the dinner was and he paid. It wasn't until the next day when I glanced at the receipt and balked at the cost because it was significantly more than I expected. That's when he realized he tipped generously on top of their included gratuity. I have no issue with a big tip as long as I know up front I'm giving it. read more

Don't know really how it is as we stood at the host stand for 5 minutes with no acknowledgement from staff. Byeee! Won't be back!
