    Chicken Ballotine
    J Warren R.

    This may have been the most beautifully presented and colorful meal I have had in Colorado. An artwork rainbow of colors that was just as delicious as it was to admire. 5 course tasting menu was exceptional. Except the restaurant may have made a math error -- there were 7 courses on the menu. So that was a pleasant surprise. The snack or amuse bouche was an oyster, with a mini ice cream cone that melted in my mouth. The ahi tuna with the blue edible flowers tasted incredible - texture, color and flavor made a winning combination. The grilled turnips with pistachio pesto was earthy goodness. Gnocchi followed with summer mushrooms. Yumm. A bread course followed with a chicken ballotine. The chicken had been deboned, formed together, so you got white and dark meat along with a chicken sausage. This was the most tender chicken dish ever. Served with grilled Apricots, this was a summer dish to die for. The chocolate torte was rich- crunchy cocoa nibs and honey topped it off. Our server Rob, was exceptional. Helpful and friendly, he made sure we had a memorable experience. I really enjoyed the optional wine pairing and with the server's articulate and descriptive explanation of each wine, it showed this restaurant knows its wine and what to serve with each course. Inside, Margot is sleek, modern, clean. There is ample room in-between tables. For a restaurant it was moderately noisy at 70 decibels, so it was still possible to have a pleasant dinner conversation. I would go back here....tomorrow -- it was truly exceptional (and clearly worthy of that coveted Michelin star.)

    We sat at the chef's counter for my partner's birthday. We thought we had our favorite dish, but as each new one came out it became our favorite! Big standouts were the jumbo crab sitting in the buttermilk sauce, the truffles on the Parisian gnocchi, the salty lime sorbet (unpictured), and the wine pairing. Our server (who poured the wine, as the food was served by the chef and cooks at the counter), Christian, was super friendly and knowledgeable on wines. I recommend the wine pairing with the dishes for $125. Worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Happy to visit again, and really enjoyed the experience. It was warm, not stuffy, great pacing, and great flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I am not quick to give five star ratings, but this place was nothing short of fantastic. The first time I went we did a la carte, where everything was delicious. I highly recommend the oysters, even if you aren't a fan. They are unlike anything I've ever tried and exceptionally fresh. The next time I went we did the five course tasting menu (which is really more like seven courses), and let me say this was a very special experience. If you are a foodie at all you must try for a once in a lifetime dinner. The way the food was plated, the order in which they brought it and the professionalism surrounding the service was incredible. Each dish was an adventure and abundant flavors exploding which each bite. I would love to describe each one, but I don't think I could even do it justice. The only thing I wasn't blown away by was the bread and butter, but even still it was good. I also loved the martini (the blue cheese olives were even exceptional) as well as the red wine. I can't speak to other drinks, but my friends were raving about theirs as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is clean, sleek and spacious. It feels cool and open, giving a very modern and chic look that didn't feel too crowded or loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It gave way for the great service that never felt stuffy or overbearing. Obviously, I adored my experiences at Margot, I can't wait to go back someday. Although it is pricey, I wouldn't expect anything less since they have a Michelin star which is well deserved!

    We experienced a magical dinner and performance last night at Chef Justin Fulton's table. Cannot recommend this experience highly enough- the amazing menu, wine pairings, and choreography were uniformly stellar. T. Vincelette and G. Piché

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great chefs table experience in the same building as the (also-Michelin-starred) Kizaki on S Pearl.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The progressive menu of small plates features local ingredients, highlighted beautifully with the perfect combo of textures and flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And you get to see everything prepared right in front of you in an intimate, cozy chefs table room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Margo was recently awarded a Michelin star for their dinner tasting menu, so I was excited to try their brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is elegant and minimalistic, and the brunch menu is smaller but clearly intentional and well curated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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!

    Josh S.

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

    Toffee pudding
    Shruti J.

    Dined here with a few friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

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

    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). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The chef's counter was small with 6 people. It was interesting to see them prepare the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Grilled Palisade Peaches
    Aundya A.

    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

    Kristin B.

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

Everything is as it should be; it is just perhaps not as good as some of its counterparts, Cherry Creek, and for that reason, it excels at having tables open when I have failed to plan properly and need a reservation. I do eat here fairly often, and I can't quite tell you why it is not a 5*, but it's not quite there for me.

The pork belly sliders read more as pulled pork, tender with the meat, with just a hint of slaw. Olives and almonds rounded out our spread, and were delightful, if a little pricey.

We had an amazing dinner at Local Jones (LJs) at the Halcyon Hotel, visiting on the second night of their new menu, and they absolutely nailed it.

The rest of our group loved their dishes just as much--the mussels, shepherd's pie, and braised short ribs all got rave reviews. It's not often that four totally different entrées are all home runs, but LJs pulled it off. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. We will definitely make LJs a regular stop whenever we're in Denver. Highly recommend!

The price was a bit high, but the quality of the meal was spot on. I had the seared scallops with celery root puree, pomegranate seeds, cous cous, and toasted hazelnuts. Divine. My husband had the filet mignon with Bearnaise sauce, and roasted potatoes and asparagus. Also amazing. Both dishes per cooked to perfection. All employees were professional and our server was friendly. The atmosphere was lovely--clean, warm, inviting. It was an interesting journey to find the bathroom. It's shared with other parts of the building and was the only thing that needed attending. Four stars for the messy bathrooms, price being quite high, and it was a 2 hour and 45 min dinner. Took forever. I've never had so many glasses of water in my life in such a short period of time. 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.

I usually get two of them because it is so creamy and delicious. I also like the salami a lot, probably my second, and the lox/salmon is good, too. PS, you can also recork your bottle if you aren't a pro wine drinker for the board & bottle special. It's truly a no-brainer for the price to go ahead and get that bottle and 4 slices for a mere $25.

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!

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.
