I'm not sure if vendors changed or how the bread is made has changed but it wasn't worth the price at all. I understand inflation is happening and I'm okay with paying more if the quality is there but it isn't anymore in my opinion. Edit: since the owner wanted to give a passive response to my updated review. As a long time customer I have noticed a decline in quality. That's just my observation, the quality of the gluten free bread is not what it used to be and not worth the price anymore.

I'd call Leven Deli Co. a modern deli with both newer and traditional items. What's typical is…read morethat it is busy and lively inside. There's also ample outdoor seating, depending on the weather. The menu has many delectable items making it hard to choose, in a good way. In fact, if I lived in Denver, I'd go back again and again to try everything. The "newer" items include Thai curry lentil soup (which was excellent). grilled kabobs, marinated artichokes, esquites, picked cauliflower (excellent and very tart), dolmas (good, standard dolma), a braised pork sandwich, pimento grilled cheese, and many other items from which to choose. The more traditional items are the classic pastrami, reuben, turkey club, and more, plus a meat / deli counter, giving Leven solid delicatessen cred. The french curry potato salad was excellent. The BLT was one of the best ever had according to my friend. The focaccia & mozzarella was amazing as well. For dessert and I admit an impulse buy at the register, the chocolate, tahini, malted milk brownie was thick, decadent, unique and even better the next day. Great location near the Denver Art Museum, making it a great stop after or before perusing the museum, but probably after because you'll be hungry - you gotta eat something. 5/5, 8.5/10.

I rarely leave a review weighted by anything but the food but I found everything about this place…read moreto be so irritating that I can't help myself. The lack of hospitality and thoughtfulness outside the food is regrettable. The first thing in the door you wonder what you're supposed to do. Someone finally came to get us to direct us but you walk to the back of the restaurant and order at the counter. It's really loud so you need to really listen and speak up. It's night club music. Really bad and inexplicably inappropriate for a restaurant. Who's this for? The employees? I couldn't wait to leave 15 minutes into my visit. They have pepper grinders over by the self serve water station. All empty. We asked the person behind the counter and she said she was surprised that they still had those out there and pointed us to the other side of the restaurant where they have those pepper shakers with the bland tasteless stuff. She didn't go get the grinders. They were there for the entire visit. Someone came by and offered us free biscuits. Neither of us wanted one. We couldn't hear what she was saying. I shook my head no but she left one. She wasn't really interested in our response and you could tell she wasn't interested in doing what she was doing at all. We didn't touch it. My wife ordered tomato soup and a southwest salad. She said neither were special. I liked my pastrami Reuben but thought the pickles were unnecessarily spicy. Way over the top for no reason. Someone knows how to bake bread and that's the only nice thing I'm going to say about this restaurant. DoorDash maybe?

The woman taking our order, wearing glasses and a braided ponytail was curt, visibly frustrated, and made us feel unwelcome. She seemed so put out and talked down to us. There is an option to "make your own" order rather than selecting a pre-made item. However, when I attempted to do so, I was told no and the response was delivered in a notably rude manner. Despite repeating my order multiple times, it was still prepared incorrectly. Unfortunately, the food itself did not make up for the experience. The bread was dry and of poor quality. Overall, this was a very disappointing visit, both in terms of service and food.

At first, we were not very impressed with the fries, but we managed to eat them all, so I guess they actually were good!

This was a nice surprise for lunch. We did not have any of the specialty beverages or ice cream,…read morejust some chimneys. Overall, a good lunch with a few small issues. I had the turkey chimney and I found it very good. Lots of meat and vegetables. The bread felt very fresh. Though plentiful, the turkey felt a bit basic (compared to the ham). I also sampled the caprese sandwich (which is split open--not a chimney, but the same bread). Once again, the veggies really shown through here. Next time, we would have the basalmic glaze on the side as it was a bit heavy for our tastes and soaked through a bit. The cheese was hearty. There was a slight miscommunication about our two other meals, for kids. One was correct (the PB&J). However, I think they toasted the bread? It was a bit more crunchy than we would have expected instead of soft. This, unfortunately, made it unpalatable for one kid. I thought it tasted good, but the toasting (or stale bread?) wasn't the best choice. The other was supposed to be a ham sandwich, plain. But instead we got a ham, havarti, and egg chimney (which, looking over the receipt, I was charged for). That one is on me for not correcting the order. This change also made it undesirable for kid #2. Upon my trying it, the bread, a chimney, was equally as good. The ham here was better than my turkey. There was a lot of egg. This was not so good if you're my kid, but probably very good if that's the actual sandwich you want. We had a sweet chimney with nutella. It was very good! Seating is very limited. They have a small-ish space next door. The table we were at was broken, but others looked to be in better shape.

I stopped by Rye Society and had one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've had in Denver. The sandwich was perfectly made with flavorful, high-quality ingredients and was packed with taste from the first bite to the last. The rye bread was excellent, and everything was fresh and well balanced. What really stood out was the friendly and welcoming service. The staff was attentive, helpful, and made the whole experience enjoyable. It's easy to see why this place has become a favorite for deli lovers in Denver. If you're looking for a great Reuben and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Rye Society. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing! Best pastrami I've had in years possibly, my life. Their brioche bread has a challah like taste and texture that I love. I've tired the pastrami and egg sandwich as well as the tuna sandwich both worth trying. The first time I was in there I was a little under the weather. The guy who works there possibly the owner hooked it up with a beet juice since he felt my pain. Will be a regular here. read more
