    Poulet Au Sauce Supreme
    Steven S H C.

    Amazing? Not really. Somethings are better than others. I really wanted to give 5 stars but just lacks on few areas. For Denver Restaurant Week, had choice of salad or soup. The main course was either chicken or fish. Forget the fancy French name which I will not able to master. Our offering did not come with bread so we ordered baguettes which came out very warm and butter was delicious. I think it was around $9. Glass of wines were on pricy side. I got a red Bordeaux blend for $20, white for $16. By the way, still water was very good. Our waiter was attentive but not great. For the restaurant of this caliber, he was lacking. Table next to us ordered the same entrée as us but their bread came out very late and I could here our waiter telling them that it will come out with the salad. That wasn't the case with ours. Even though they ordered 5 minutes after us, they got their main course before us. We ended up waiting good five minutes after them. Service? 3 maybe. It was ok. Our chicken dish was excellent. Very crispy outside but juicy in the center. I will give 5 stars for this exquisitely prepared dish. My striped bass was good also. It was presented with skin side up. It's was crispy, flavorful. Ended up enjoying every bit of it. Also had desert menu but wording were too foreign to us. Our waiter wasn't successful selling any of the desert offerings. While waiting for our bill, the nect table got one of the desert and looked good. We could ordered that if there was pics or better description. The waiter brought us each, bag of pastries which was a nice gesture. We devoured that in the car. Next morning I had to clean up the flaky mess. It was good! Would like to come back and try few other dishes like vol-au-vent de homard. 5 stars for their unique dishes, 3 for lackluster performance of pur waiter

    Le sandwich

    The restaurant was beautifully decorated, modern, and chic. The staff was friendly and attentive as well! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and coffee and the sandwich was tasty, especially the bread. My only qualm is the restaurant is overpriced for what you get. An average sized breakfast sandwich with no sides will run you $24.

    Great service and ambiance, food was good but I don't think it was outstanding. We were 12 girls and all agreed on a 4 star rating. Brunch menu is big enough for everyone to pick something.

    We've been on a bakery tour lately and Noisette did not disappoint! The plain croissant was a great combo of flaky exterior and warm fluffy interior. Probably the 4th best in denver from what I've tried so far. The kouign amann is one of the best I've had in denver, very possibly THE BEST. The chocolate croissant and almond croissant were amazing. The almond had the perfect amount of almond flavor and tasted like a bear claw on the outside and plain croissant on the inside, I will be back for this. The iced latte with pumpkin spice (1/2 sweetness) was PERFECTION. As for a savory item the lobster tart...the flavor was phenomenal, the lobster was cooked perfectly, and even the salad had the best dressing to pair with the savory butter sauce on the lobster. My ONLY slight critique is that it seemed like all the workers were in a bit of a mood. I'm not sure if it was a bring the Paris hospitality vibe rather than American thing done purposefully but everyone seemed...grumpy? Didn't affect us enough to take off any stars. Not sure what was going on there but regardless of that, everything was delicious and came out quickly.

    Very fun date night dinner spot for a special occasion. We tried a variety of appetizers- loved the bread and pate. Also tried the duck and beef bourgninon- everything cooked really well and service is attentive. Desserts were delicious as well. Interior is super cute.

    I really wanted to love Noisette. It's been on my to-try list for awhile, not only because I love French food, but also because I have loved their dishes at all the festivals and events they've served food at. But Noisette was... fine. Not great, but not bad. The decor is cute. A little pink for me, but fine. My husband probably wouldn't walk in here by himself. The service is great and the chef-owners are super nice, which makes this tough. One thing I don't like is that there's no bar seating. My husband and I often like to walk into restaurants during happy hour and sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. Sometimes I dine by myself (like I did here) -- and then the lack of bar seating is even more uncomfortable. Only 5 cocktails on the menu -- 3 of them gin based. I usually expect a little more from a cocktail menu at an upscale restaurant these days. The biggest thing for me was that the food was... fine. I admit, my opinion is definitely tinged by the lack of gluten-free alternatives. It's always an issue with French restaurants: the apps all come with a baguette or a brioche or on a crepe or inside a pastry. Most places in Denver have done a bit better accommodating the huge number of gluten-intolerant people here (even if it's just getting some gluten-free bread from another Colorado bakery). The gluten-free crackers they brought for the foie gras were NOT good -- but I was not impressed by the $33 hard chunk of foie gras with super-tart sauce either (and I usually love foie gras) -- but maybe it was the crackers. I should have gotten something else, but I think the endives were the only gluten-free option. The lobster main dish was really good -- a whole lobster for $75 is ok pricing I think. I have had good lobster many places, though... so not sure I'd come back for this one? Total for just myself: 2 glasses of sparkling, foie gras app, lobster main, French-style cheesecake and espresso martini -- $178.

    Strawberry Rhubarb Croissant

    Yelp says I've been here eight times, so I guess this must be my favorite Denver restaurant. The space is gorgeous. There's a beautiful tile floor, a decorated ceiling with elegant chandeliers, a sweeping glass wall, and soothing colors. There's a good amount of space between the tables and a small bar next to the door (no bar seating). The next room contains the bakery and a little bit of seating for it. The staff is very polished and provides excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable service. The food is superb. The concept is "cuisine bourgeoise." Noisette takes everyday home cooking from the French countryside and elevates it to fine dining. I love this idea. The execution is flawless. We started with the foie gras. The serving was generous and came with some delicious brioche toast points plus a caramelized blood orange sauce. The liver was very smooth and flavorful. We also tried the scrambled eggs ("brouillade" sounds much fancier in French, though). I've had a number of egg dishes here, including a lovely quiche. What these guys do with eggs is unworldly. This dish is a saucer of very soft scrambled eggs with truffles and a bit of chicken stock. It is certainly the best egg dish I've ever tasted. I must mention the bread service. The menu describes this as a house-made baguette, but what you really get is a plate of micro baguettes the size of dinner rolls plus a crock of delicious brown butter (called "beurre noisette" in French, hence the name of the restaurant). Heating butter until its water content evaporates and the milk solids caramelize unleashes a unique, deep, rich flavor. A small example of the trouble the kitchen takes with each dish. I tried the cassoulet on this visit, a classic country French dish that involves throwing bits of leftovers and beans together to make a stew. I received a large crock with a huge confit duck leg, a pork collar (center cut pork shoulder), and a house-made Toulouse sausage plus lots of beans, of course. Every component was delicious, but the duck was amazing with perfectly crispy skin and extremely tender, flavorful meat. Every entrée here comes with potatoes and I'm allergic to them. They whipped up some sautéed spinach for me as a substitute. I'm not a spinach fan, but this was very tasty. I also had an issue with the almond crust on the foie gras, but without any fuss they were able to do a serving without it. Terrific service without any bother. My friend tried the duck breast with wild mushrooms, a very large portion, and his daughter had the steamed king salmon, served in a lovely pool of beurre blanc. They both enjoyed their dishes. Alas, no room for dessert on this visit. The attached bakery is not to be missed. It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday until 2:00 p.m. They make an excellent selection of French baked goods plus those amazing quiches I mentioned. They have a new selection of lucious breakfast sandwiches, only available on Saturdays so far, plus a couple of lunch sandwiches that are available every day. Noisette is a really wonderful restaurant and bakery that is at the top of their game. Well worth a visit or five.

    The aesthetic here is so cute! It pastel, bright, and airy. Beautiful place for brunch. Our server was very attentive and kept checking back on us, especially as my party of 5 took a while to order. I ordered le sandwich, which had a very pronounced dijon flavor. The eggs were cooked to perfect, very soft and silky. The duck and pork sausage was cooked to medium temp, but did get progressively saltier the more I ate. The sandwich itself was very well put together. The bloody mary, on the other hand, was so good. It was very citrus and pickle flavor forward, which was right up my flavor palate. It was so easy to drink and not thick like other bloody marys. My party enjoyed their dishes overall. Not to mention the yummy baguette with the cultured brown butter! Would recommend this place!

    Overly salty and fishy Dorade
    Greg M.

    This review reflects DINNER SERVICE ONLY. If you read no further, stick to a baguette, the Vol-au Vent, a round of cocktails and main entrees/dessert elsewhere. I truly wanted this Michelin Guide restaurant (no Michelin stars awarded) to show up and bring high dining fare to Denver. I am currently of the opinion that Noisette should just be dropped from the Guide. They excel in the space/decor and concept. They fall moderately short in service and far short on culinary execution. There were two of us on a Saturday night and the dining room was ~70% capacity. It's a small space to begin with and meal is set up to be a slow enjoyment of flavors rather than a gluttony event, so the kitchen should not be challenged. We started with the Crepe aux Caviar ($52). This is a delightfully light dish that was perfectly executed in the egg set with light scallion bites. However, driving the $52 price is the kaluga caviar. The choice of kaluga is interesting, and unnecessary. Kaluga is rare but by no means is it superior. It has a creamy texture and buttery-nutty flavor that is soft to the palate. This dish already has that component in the well executed lemon crème fraiche. No, this dish actually needed to push forward the caviar component, not bury it. The result is subtle light egg with subtle light crème and subtle choice of caviar, equals the crepe version of vanilla ice cream. Next, the impressive star of the night, Vol-au Vent ($20). THIS should be the $52 offering as it is spectacular. If you have never enjoyed veal sweetbreads, this is the place and time to try. The sweetbreads are coated and pan fried into bite-size "nuggets" then nested into a perfectly buttery puff pastry. The sweet, meaty, yet light meat upon the pastry is literally placed in perfect balance with the onion soubise (think traditional simple buttery-rich béchamel built up on sautéed onion purée). The dish was perfect and could only be improved with a few short strands of caramelized onion on top. The Baguette ($9) with room-soft brown butter is a must. It is perfectly soft inside with a classic European artisan crust and those scattered bites of the raised crust "ears" we all should look forward to as a mandatory element of every baguette. The Dorade ($48) is a salt assault on the palate. Perhaps I should accept the blame here to expect a fish that is source from the Mediterranean and that has such a thick under-skin fat layer, to be perfection in Colorado. The problem here is the kitchen is using fists full of salt at multiple stages and that fatty layer that over time just imparts the "fishy" flavor that is off-putting. Presentation is also a failure as they bring the dish with skin side up. This requires your first maneuver to be flipping the whole fish and watching the flakes of fish fall to the plate. So much could be improved. First, the first bite was so salty that the rest could not be undertaken. Second, the presentation showing the skin is lovely, but impractical. The fish should be split with one side showing the skin and the other giving the diner a change to enjoy the first impressions without witnessing a deconstruction. You won't be surprised, we sent it back, with no recognition from the House that this was a one-off mistake. We replaced the overbearing salty fish with what should be a safe choice, the Onglet de Boeuf ($33). It was safe like riding a school bus and sitting in the front seat next to the driver. It still sucked to be on the bus. I recently was at a Pub and ordered a hearty sandwich. The kitchen lost the ticket and 45 min later, a rushed order was sent out from a very busy kitchen. The sandwich was composed of both loaf ends and missing key ingredients. I was served a F-ck You Sandwich. The Onglet embodies a F-ck You replacement. Unlike the overly salted fish, the Hangar steak lacked ALL seasoning. Even the ends, where the crust was best developed, lacked flavor. Even the bed of onion hollandaise that the beef sits upon was void of flavor. HOW?!? To be sure, the beef was actually cooked to perfect temperature. Sadly, the accompanying Pommes Purée (not the menu-indicated accompaniment) is the only flavor presented. Service is amateurish for a high-end restaurant. Our waiter lacked opinions. Asked for recommendations, he pointed us to the entire menu. When the poorly executed dishes were discussed, he all but admitted he had never tasted the dishes. With a final bill for two traveling north of $250, the servers should, at the very least, know which side the silverware should be set. Let's at least PRETEND we are fancy.

    What a happy accident to come across Noisette. I was visiting a store nearby and saw the bakery, told myself that I'd be coming by right after my appointment. Super glad I did because I grabbed a delicious almond croissant. Can't wait to visit again and try their brunch or dinner menu. The staff was incredibly kind - offered to warm up my pastry and served me the same they way for someone having lunch or dinner. Oh and can I add this place is just aesthetically so pleasing?

    Serendipity. I didn't plan to visit Noisette today. Was at home debating if I should make a green onion pancake with eggs before deciding to come and try the new-to-me bakery. I had been reading so much raves about the anticipation of this restaurant opening on Westword last year that I don't know how I'd forgotten to come check them out until today. I was meant to be there today, I truly felt that. Upon walking into the bakery I was taken aback by how gorgeous the decor of the interior was. Instantly took me out of Denver and popped me in some boulangerie somewhere else in the world. I had to walk back out to take a photo of the interior, taking a chair down with me as I did that... SMH! Now that I've attracted some more unwanted attention a gentleman walked out of the back and came greeted me with the warmest smile. He wasn't in uniform so I thought he looked more like friends of the owners... turned out I met Tim's father. I found out we had some similar background through some small talk, saw the proud look on his face when he talked about Tim and Lillian's background and how this restaurant came about. Took some photos of the family crew and was asked to be in the family photo... sorry to interrupt your day Chefs! I grabbed some pastries to go, 3 Comte and Ham Croissants, 1 Croissant and 1 Pan au Chocolat. Stephen at the counter was super friendly as well and helped me with some instructions on how to reheat those babies when I get home. He recommended to heat the ham/cheese on in the hot oven for a few minutes, I preheat and airfried and the cheese was melty... so was the chocolate... oh yes, I heated them up separately. Chef's kiss Lillian! Looks like they are in full action with brunch served on Sat/Sun from 10:30 - 2PM. They are not on Open Table but are on Tock. 5+ res need a $10 per person deposit. Currently dinner is served Wed thru Sunday from 5-9:30 on Wed/Thu and until 10 on Friday/Saturday. Already looking online to book res for next week for the food. If you know me I love French cuisine. I can't wait as I see that escargot is on their menu. Will update my review once I've visited for dinner/brunch. Thanks Lu Baba for the warm chat, I was truly meant to meet you and your family/friends today.

    Came here for Valentines Day (though, we always do the day after to avoid the crazy busy crowds), and had really high expectations. My fiancé found this spot by looking at a list of Michelin recommendations, so we knew it had to be good. To start, we got warm bread. I had high hopes since this spot is also a bakery. But the bread was honestly "just bread". It didn't have much to it and the butter needed some flaky sea salt on it in my opinion. For my main dish, I got the salmon. Again the flavor was just a bit muted and didn't wow me. What I really did like were the puréed potatoes. But I've also never met a potato I didn't like! My fiancé got the duck with with pork collar, sausage and beans. It was a very hefty serving and he said he liked it just fine, but it didn't blow his socks off. The wine we each paired with our meals was great. And the dessert was pretty good. Now, to where this place really excels: service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and even sent us home with some shortbread cookies. She said they typically send guests home with pastries from the bakery but they had just ran out. Bummer! But still super amazing of them to send us home with some goodies. When I had the shortbread cookies with tea the following day, that was actually what blew my mind. SO so buttery and not overly sugary sweet. I will for sure have to give the bakery a try. As for returning the restaurant, it's not on my immediate to-do list, or even my short term to-do list. For the price and expectations, I have other denver restaurants I love that o think are a bit more solid on the flavors. But I'll absolutely stop in to give their bakery a fair shot!

    Few hospitality experiences manage to operate like a perfectly wound Swiss timepiece while…read moresimultaneously enveloping you in the velvet warmth of an eccentric relative's living room, yet my recent two-night birthday escape to Denver achieved precisely this rare equilibrium. To dine at Chez Maggy and navigate the hospitality ecosystem of The Thompson Denver is to step into a meticulously curated cinematic universe where every gesture is deliberate, every color palette feels intentional, and human kindness is treated as the ultimate luxury asset. It is an environment where staff do not merely anticipate your desires; they dismantle the very need to harbor desires in the first place, operating on a frequency of predictive generosity that leaves one feeling delightfully disarmed. At the absolute epicenter of this symphonic choreography stand two incomparable individuals, Jason, the Food and Beverage Manager, and Bailey, an exceptional server whose presence turns a standard dinner service into an event of genuine human connection. Jason operates with the crisp, unflappable precision of a master conductor, moving through the bustling terrain of The Thompson with a quiet, elegant professionalism that anchors the entire operation. In an industry too often prone to transactional coldness, Jason possesses the rare and vintage gift of treating hospitality as a high art form rooted in absolute sincerity. Upon my arrival, he greeted me by name with a warmth so authentic it instantly erased the frantic static of travel. This was not the rehearsed familiarity of a corporate script, but the intentional, sharp memory of a true professional who understands that a person's name is the finest note in any conversation. Throughout the stay, his oversight of the food and beverage program manifested in a series of flawless iterations, ensuring that every detail was exact, every transition was seamless, and every guest felt singularly important. Jason does not simply manage a department; he curates an atmosphere of safety and sophisticated comfort, balancing a sharp, dignified executive presence with a deep, accessible kindness that elevates the entire hotel standard. Steps away at Chez Maggy, Bailey transforms the dining room into a theater of radical hospitality, offering a masterclass in service that goes far beneath the surface of menus and silverware. Bailey is quite frankly exceptional, possessing a luminous energy and a sharp, witty intellect that commands immediate affection. What elevates Bailey from a brilliant server to an unforgettable human being is a profound capacity for empathy, delivered through the sharing of an awesome lived experience that instantly bridges the gap between stranger and friend. Rather than maintaining the rigid, invisible wall so common in upscale dining, Bailey engages with a rich, textured perspective on life that mirrors our own complexities, validating our shared human journeys with effortless grace. This unique willingness to connect on a soulful level creates an immediate sense of home, wrapping the table in a cozy, familiar embrace that makes you forget you are sitting in a public restaurant. Bailey reads the emotional landscape of a table with astonishing accuracy, dishing out comfort, laughter, and brilliant recommendations in equal, perfectly timed portions. Together, Jason and Bailey represent the absolute pinnacle of what modern luxury should aspire to be, proving that the most memorable aspect of any journey is never the brick and mortar, but the remarkable people who inhabit it. Their combined kindness, paired with an uncanny ability to anticipate every unspoken whim before it even materializes as a thought, transformed this birthday celebration into a masterpiece of joy. To find one individual who remembers your name and treats your presence as an honor is a stroke of luck; to find two within the same establishment who make you feel deeply understood and completely at home is an absolute triumph of hospitality. For anyone seeking an escape defined by clever sophistication, brilliant conversation, and a level of care that feels both deeply nostalgic and entirely refreshing, look no further than the unparalleled team of Jason and Bailey at The Thompson and Chez Maggy.

For instance, the steak frites was not available to order for dinner but available for lunch and the weekend brunch. Also, they took the pancakes off the brunch menu which to me is criminal -- but they have it available for weekday breakfasts. I don't know, to me these seemed like unnecessary changes, and as somebody who booked this hotel specifically to enjoy these menu items at this restaurant, I just felt disappointed. Highlights for me where the hamachi and the beef tartare at dinner; the avocado toast has a very weird taste profile with the pickled carrots so I would stay away from that if you like classic avocado toast.

Worth noting, we come here often at the same time without our daughter, and have never once been seated in the back room alone. Our daughter was sitting quietly in her high chair "reading" the menu and playing with stickers, a few of which she dropped on the floor...because, you know, she's 1. A staff member repeatedly walked by giving us dirty looks and complaining to other staff members about the stickers within earshot. After hearing it multiple times, my husband said, "don't worry, we always pick up after our child." The staff member snapped back, "well they're clearly already going to stick to the floor". My husband replied "we are going to pick them up...kids drop things and things happen". She rolled her eyes, and walked away. We always clean up after our kid. We go out of our way to make sure she's only in appropriate places at appropriate times...like, I obviously wouldn't bring her to this restaurant at 7 PM on a weekend night where she might disrupt adults looking for a romantic night. But she was just sitting there quietly playing with stickers, not bothering anyone (except apparently this staff member). I'm shocked that a place with high chairs and a kids menu would not only be so unwelcoming before we even sat down, but would also insult us as adults by insinuating we would leave our kids trash on the ground in their restaurant. And to stand there and openly talk about us in front of other staff members?? Genuinely stunned, offended and frankly humiliated. FWIW, before we left, I picked up every single sticker in under 10 seconds, because I'm a decent member of society and I intentionally buy my kid stickers that are removable and won't stick to a restaurant's floor or tables. Bistro Vendome: if you find a sticker belonging to my kid, I will personally return and remove it, but I will otherwise never in a million years be back.

The restaurant is very beautiful decorated and has a peaceful environment to it like if you were in a beautiful forest. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the kale salad and the French onion soup and it was a tasteful combination. Service was fast and efficient. I loved their bathroom and sink to wash hands

The interior of the restaurant is very cute and they have interesting restrooms. Espresso machine was not working so no milk or espresso drinks offered - not sure why that wasn't a priority to get up and running before opening for brunch. The reason for the one star review is that the food took over an hour to arrive to our group. The waitress explained that the kitchen was understaffed and everyone came in at once, but honestly it was still upsetting and frustrating. We ordered the French toast, venison tartine, and the mushroom crepe. Everything tasted good actually BUT after the hour wait for our food, we found a hair in our venison tartine. They did get another one out to us fast but just another problem found after the insane wait for the food. In the end, they did what they could with regards to the bill and apologized profusely for all the issues, but I do feel like the restaurant has some improvements to make as far as staffing and time/guest management. I would just warn you to not come during a busy time until the restaurant becomes more established.

The service is always amazing and the vibe is just so French country chic. Wine list is great too. I highly recommend making a reservation and do try the stroganoff crepe. So creamy, so beefy, so delicious. Their bread is also super amazing lol. I love Bon Ami. The only thing is parking can sometimes be tricky on the weekends, just gotta loop around the neighborhood a little bit.

Enough for the 3 of us. (No toast though.) I had the Alsace crêpe which was huge. It was delicious. A glass of Hugel Pinot blanc, $16. Went well with the crêpe. The others had a crêpe and a salad. Everyone was happy. + Cloth napkins + Cloth table coverings + flatware - Walco hefty + lighting - 2700k + warm visual atmosphere + music, unobtrusive 0 Acopa tableware -- Our waiter was incompetent. 1. Took a long time to bring our wine. The first rule (in my opinion) is that you bring the alcoholic beverage quickly so you sell more. 2. Did not present wine, just opened it in the corner, did not ask if we wanted to taste it.. 3. Did not clear used plates and flatware after our appetizer. 4. Looked me (the male) first when taking our orders instead of the 2 women. It appeared that he had received zero training. I mentioned it to the senior waiter and was told it was our waiter's last day. $179 USD for lunch for 3 (including tax and tip)

    We recently went to Le Bilboquet to join my sister and brother-in-law who came into Denver for a…read morequick weekend visit. They had received a gift card to this restaurant as a birthday present and we met them there to enjoy a lunch together. First thing to remember is that there is a lot of construction going on in Cherry Creek which limits the amount of parking spaces available. I highly recommend carpooling with a friend or walking over to the restaurant if parked at the nearby mall. This is considered an upscale restaurant and is perfectly placed in Cherry Creek. My wife commented on the scent of flowers, coming through the door way when we first entered the restaurant. The dramatic lighting and welcoming staff were the next things that we noticed. Nearly every table was filled on this mid-afternoon Friday and it was a good thing that we made a reservation! Our server greeted us almost immediately, provided water and took our drink order. The tables are covered in tablecloths and have a foam topper that makes some of the glassware unsteady, but none of us had any spills. Our server was very patient and offered suggestions as we struggled to find what we wanted among the many good choices! The salads and soups were delivered to our booth fairly quickly and followed up in a reasonable time by our main lunch items. Real Sterling silverware, and the presentation of our meals was something that prompted all of us to want to photograph them! Serving sizes were appropriate, we didn't feel over stuffed and even took half a sandwich with us to go. The restaurant crowd thinned over the course of the 90+ minutes we were there, and never once did we feel slighted by our server who always maintain an awareness of our drinks and food. Great food coupled with excellent service in an environment that was easy to enjoy make this a must stop if you're traveling through Denver, meeting up for a business lunch, or simply enjoying an upscale meal with your favorite friends.
