    Great chefs table experience in the same building as the (also-Michelin-starred) Kizaki on S Pearl. The progressive menu of small plates features local ingredients, highlighted beautifully with the perfect combo of textures and flavors. And you get to see everything prepared right in front of you in an intimate, cozy chefs table room. There is also a dining room where you can order à la carte. My only critique is that I didn't love the wine pairings -- they just didn't feel as elevated as the food. So I might consider ordering wine by the glass or bottle on your own if yours a connoisseur.

    Michelin star restaurant in a casual, easy setting. Food was the highlight of our experience with some unique and fun dishes. Highly recommend showing this restaurant some love!

    Five course dinner experience was incredible. Absolutely wonderful food and service. A special spot. Just adding photos of a few courses-- go to find out what more Chef and team offer. It will be worth it!

    I came here for the 5 course dinner experience. I absolutely loved it! I came with a food allergy that I completely forgot to put on our reservation notesc and they were extremely accommodating to me for it . I thought every course was unique on their own and I loved that they explained every course that they brought out! Fantastic dinner!

    Margo was recently awarded a Michelin star for their dinner tasting menu, so I was excited to try their brunch. The space is elegant and minimalistic, and the brunch menu is smaller but clearly intentional and well curated. We tried almost everything on the menu and the oysters and croquettes were the standout dishes for me. Everything was fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. If you are looking for a refined brunch experience in the area, Margo is absolutely worth a visit.

    Dined here with a few friends. Ambience is nice but I wished they had proper tables for large party's- we were a group of 5 and were seated on the high chair community table. Drinks were good and so was the food - we really enjoyed the Parisian gnocchi and the lamb tagliatelle. The other dishes were good too. For desserts, we got the sticky toffee pudding and the panna cotta - I really liked the panna cotta. Overall we had a good experience, service was good and food was good too!

    I went here with three friends and we sat at the chef's counter. We had a little bit of a wait before we were seated and they gave us an interesting sparkling green tea drink (there was also an alcohol option). The chef's counter was small with 6 people. It was interesting to see them prepare the food. Everything had excellent presentation and they did a great job explaining the food. I also got the wine pairing, and they explained those as well. My favorite items were beets, Parisian gnocchi, snacks, and the watermelon. Our water wasn't refilled at the end and I definitely could've used some more. We also wanted to split our checks since I was the only one getting the wine pairing, but they wouldn't let us do that.

    Absolutely delicious, beautiful presentation, exceptional service. Couldn't for anything more! Server was also a som and made perfect pairing recommendations.

    Margot's new Pearl Street spot is worth the wait. After starting as pop-ups in LoHi, their brick-and-mortar offers a warm vibe and standout dishes. I got a Friday 6 PM reservation and loved the fresh oysters, Wagyu tartare, grilled peaches, and Parisian gnocchi. Don't skip the desserts! * East Coast Oysters* (calamansi & cucumber) * Wagyu Steak Tartare* (cured egg yolk, spicy miso, grilled bread) * Grilled Palisade Peaches (lemon yogurt, pickled onion, chamomile) * Heirloom Tomatoes (French feta, bread crumbs, ginger dressing) * Crispy Potatoes (paprika aioli, dill, green onion) * Parisian Gnocchi (cherry tomatoes, parmesan broth, black garlic) * Sticky toffee pudding with brown butter ice cream * Peach panna cotta with ginger sponge cake

    Roast pork with fresh unique ingredients that defy description but tasted amazing!

    Margot was an excellent place to celebrate our anniversary! The ambience and tasting menu felt special and the food was unique and delicious reflecting Chef Justin's passion, artistry and deep knowledge of the culinary arts. Service was kind and unpretentious and we enjoyed the experience so much that we plan to come back again very soon. Congratulations on the wellMichelin star.

    Margot, Margot, Margot... What a special place you have in my heart. My review is from a while back when they had the space that they were renting out and were open on a select few days only. Every single dish was crafted to perfection. I started my journey with a three bite appetizer. The watermelon really surprised me, as I have never experienced watermelon dressed up like this. It was a perfect appetizing bite. Then came the bread that rose with you as you went through the entire experience. They placed it on my table and I literally got to watch the baby bread rolls rise throughout my meal before they took it back to cook it. Something about watching it rise just made me want to eat it even more. When it came out hot and fresh back to my table, it was as if I had a special relationship with the bread (and I didn't even make it). What a way to get your guests invested into the food without doing some kind of crazy experience. My meal continued with a few more courses, most notably, the tomatoes that were fresh from the season. I have no idea what they did to these tomatoes, but it was probably one of my favorite dishes. Then there was a cucumber shaved ice dish that, I'm not sure what was in it or what I was eating, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The center piece of the entire meal, the duck, was amazing. The skin was crisp to perfection, while the inside was cooked perfectly to a beautiful medium rare. The sauces and nuttiness that came with the duck dish just all blended together phenomenally. I almost wanted to order another one of the duck just so I could sit there and continue eating it because I didn't want it to leave. Lastly, came the desserts, and the chef himself came out to my table to say thank you for dining. He even brought a Jell-O shot from the kitchen, which I thought was a very fun idea to serve guests. As he brought it out, he said it was something that they were just trying in the kitchen and wanted me to experience. And I'm so glad I did. The interaction was just so fun and having an elevated Jell-O shot in a place like Margot really just took me back to being invested into the food and just how playful and fun everything was. I really was thoroughly impressed and have been telling everyone in my circle to go to Margot before they got their Michelin star, Because I just knew it was coming. Since they have gotten it, and they have gotten their storefront, I can't help but to tear up and feel so happy for them. This place will always have a very special place in my heart because of the level of service that was given, the attention to detail, and the journey I was taken on through the food. Again, to the entire team, you guys really deserve it and have earned it. Until next time.

    Exceptional food, service and ambiance. True gem I'm in Denver! I have been to many Michelin restaurants only to leave with disappointment and a hole in the pocket. I am all for spending on great food. I've had many very expensive yet disappointing experiences at multiple Michelin restaurants in Denver/Boulder and even one World's top restaurant in MDX. But Margot delivered! Every bite was flavorful, innovative and complex. Portions were great. Service was impeccable! I mean impeccable! Why I liked our server so much. She was friendly, genuinely interested in creating a good experience for you, gave great recommendations, did not over sell, and appeased when you wanted her help and disappeared when didn't. Ninja server!! The food was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!

    Pâté, tartlette, oyster

    Five course dinner experience is not to be missed. I loved getting bites of an array of dishes, some I would have not ordered and I am so glad I did not miss out. Each dish is artfully presented and tastes are subtle and perfectly balanced. We could simply not pick a favorite as every course was beyond amazing. Staff was friendly, welcoming attentive but not overly so. Truly a memorable dinner.

If you can afford it, I would certainly say the food was almost worth it--desserts were just okay, and one of the appetizers was alright.

Everyone enjoyed their food and for the most part, the wine choices were on point as well. The one drawback I would say was our service was not the most attentive. Our server also did not know much about the wine choices, but having had very different experiences at other restaurants I think this may have been a one off situation.

Considering the only other US location is in California, I was surprised and knew this would be my opportunity to try it! The aesthetic is modern & elevated with Japanese wooden features. I got 3 classic dishes which was just the right amount of food. I honestly recommend coming with a group to try more items since you know everything will be delicious. The Yellowtail Jalapeño is a signature dish; the yellowtail was delicate & buttery and the citrus soy with the bight of jalapeño made each bite clean, bright, with some subtle heat. I did not expect the Rock Shrimp Tempura to be that good! The shrimp was lightly battered & fried but the sauces were the highlights! Their creamy spicy is a very well-done spicy mayo but the butter ponzu was unreal! Super addictive, rich, and unlike any sauce I've had before. Shout out to my waitress for suggesting getting both sauces on the side rather than lathered on the shrimp, which also kept it crispy. Last but certainly not least is the famous Black Cod! The fish is super buttery and flaky; there were some caramelized edges from the miso glaze which added so much depth & richness to the bite. It's a good balance of sweetness, savoriness, umami that is bound to be good. All in all, so grateful I got to try what many call an institution and will certainly try more of chef Nobu's restaurants.

Some of courses were delicious and some were mediocre. We spent almost $700 for a party of four. The situation that needs the most improvement was the pace of the meal. The courses were separated by a 20-30-minute wait time. Considering that the courses were very small and contained 5-6 pieces for a party of four... that equates to a little more than a small bite every 20-30 minutes. The dinner took 2.5 hours to develop, and we were honestly still hungry by the end. The waiter started asking us if were "still hungry" at about the fifth courses. By the end, we felt awkward in asking for more. The wagyu beef was particularly disappointing as the beef was somewhat chewy, lacking taste and small. Waiters seemed to be near their capacity of workload. Didn't really take the time to serve, walk you thru the menus, keep the service moving or even gauge your level of satisfaction. We ordered dessert to celebrate the birthday. Apart from a small chocolate plaque on the dessert that said, "happy birthday", there was no attempt to celebrate the occasion as other less exclusive restaurants do... no "happy birthday" wish, no courtesy dessert... nothing special. The best part of this meal was by far, the young couple that accompanied us. Friendly advice: if you want to impress a client with something the feels exclusive... this may be the place. If you are looking for amazing food, being pampered and feeling your money was "well spent", try another place. I don't plan to visit this restaurant soon.

They're confident because they've been made well for a long time. You might occasionally reach for something flashier, but when you want polish and assurance, they're hard to beat. That feeling defined a recent dinner at Barolo Grill, where I sat at the bar and ordered the degustazione menu. My relationship with Barolo Grill goes back more than a decade. Thirteen years ago I brought my wife here on one of our early dates. Later, when my father passed away, friends brought us here to celebrate his life. During the pandemic, when restaurants were fighting to survive, Barolo packed up meals and wine and handed them out curbside, and many of us showed up to support them. In between those moments have been countless dinners, after-dinner drinks, and long conversations at the bar. Tonight marked another moment: a birthday and the beginning of a new chapter in my life. That's the rare thing about a place like Barolo Grill. Restaurants come and go, but a few weave themselves into the arc of a person's life. Barolo has done that for me. The meal opened with Carpaccio di Bufalo, thinly sliced Colorado buffalo with bagna cauda and buffalo mozzarella. It was exceptional. Carpaccio succeeds or fails on three things: the meat, the olive oil, and the salt. Here, all three were perfect. Next came the gorgonzola "soufflé" with orange and walnuts. Delicious, though the texture leaned closer to a sformato than a classical airy soufflé. The orange brightened the richness beautifully. The spinach gnocchi were the one miss of the evening - gummy and lacking flavor. I sent them back. The kitchen responded immediately and moved me to the next course without hesitation, exactly the kind of professional recovery good restaurants manage instinctively. What followed became the standout dish: tortellini ai funghi in mushroom brodo with shaved truffle. The broth was extraordinary - clear and deeply savory. Pickled beech mushrooms added a subtle sweetness and acidity that lifted the dish. Great broth is rare because nothing hides in it. This one showed confidence and restraint. The main course, Agnello, delivered beautifully. A grilled Colorado lamb chop sat on creamy stone-ground polenta with mint-basil pesto and a tomato-olive-cucumber relish. The lamb tasted unmistakably of lamb - rich and clean. The polenta added comfort while the relish provided brightness. Each bite moved through fat, cream, herb, acid. Dessert was a Castelmagno cheesecake with lavender honey and toasted hazelnuts, lighter and silkier than an American cheesecake. An espresso alongside it completed the meal in the most perfect way possible. Recently I had dinner at Alma Fonda Fina. The two restaurants represent very different philosophies. Alma pushes the experience forward with energy and excitement. Barolo Grill is something else entirely: refined, confident, timeless. Like those Ferragamo loafers, it may not always be the boldest choice - but it's one you return to again and again. And sometimes, that's exactly what you want.

    I just had this flashback memory of going to this restaurant for the first time about two to three…read moreyears ago. The young hostess didn't even look at us when we walked in and stood at the host station. She immediately said aggressively while looking down, "do you have a reservation?!" And I said "excuse me?" I was quite astonished and bothered by her abrasiveness. She repeated "do you have a reservation?!" I immediately said with a warm smile, "hi hello. How's your evening? We're so excited to be here for the first time. Yes, we do have a reservation under the name ____________." My party and I have not been back since. The abrasive rude nature of the hostess ruined the first experience I had inside the restaurant and it took me quite a while to shake it off. But yes, I will literally never forget how much money we spent on our dinner that night and how rude the hostess was. Rude greeting, if you can call it a greeting, slow service, and surprisingly high price. We'd rather pay the same price where we are greeted and served better. * So does an experience had 2 to 3 years ago even matter at this point? It does if the patrons haven't been back since. And we have not been back since.
