    Cup of coffee with the biscuits and gravy.
    Fin M.

    I needed a quick bite in the Cap Hill area, and this place was the closest diner in the area, so I popped in on a whim. It being a Friday morning, the place wasn't too busy and I was greeted with friendly staff and a cozy cottage-core atmosphere. There's just something about listening to classical music with a cup of joe while overlooking Park Ave surrounded by plastic flowers. I don't mean this in a snide way, this place has history and it's not afraid to show it. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. While a lot of diners tend to serve intimating portions, I was presented with a modest biscuit, egg, and about a half cup of gravy. For me this is the perfect portion. The gravy was well-balanced and the biscuit, while not anything amazing, were light, and stood out in the dish. The food knew was it was about and didn't need to impress anybody. For $13 plus tip, this place is a great deal. I'll have to bring some friends here for a good, affordable, and cozy breakfast. This place comes straight out of an early Francis Ford Coppola movie, and I'm here for every second of it.

    Tuna salad sandwich, the far is a breakfast sandwich.

    The food was absolutely phenomenal! How this place has less than 5 stars is beyond me, but I enjoyed the hospitality and the food. Delicious.

    Great, clean, lil diner rocking classical music and getting comfort food like only a few can do! Thank you chef Mike and his son Nick. Y'all do great job for the community. The soups are amazing and you'll like everything on the menu!

    This little gem is amazing! My wife and I recently visited here on a Saturday morning for brunch. We weren't disappointed! The portion sizes were HUGE, the service was FAST. What else could you wish for?!?! We ordered the cheese omelette with pancakes on a side. The pancakes were very fluffy and delicious and came with strawberries on a side. The gentleman who served us was very polite and welcoming. Will be back soon.

    Spices Cafe was the culinary highlight of our entire trip. My group of three came to Spices Cafe for breakfast on an early Sunday morning. Although the reviews warned of long wait times, the cafe was practically empty when we arrived (around 8AM). The early bird gets the worm after all! Menus are situated on a stand by the front door, so we grabbed a few and helped ourselves to table on the quiet European style patio. Shortly thereafter a server dropped off some water and instructed us to order our meals at the register inside. BREAKFAST CROISSANT SANDWICH ($5.25): Everyone ordered this. By itself, the sandwich is vegetarian. My husband and brother-in-law got it with a sausage patty for an extra $1.75. The main ingredients are egg and cheese topped off by lettuce and tomato in a warm flaky croissant bun. The artichoke parmesan cream tied everything in together. I was plenty full by the time I finished this sandwich, but I'd recommend getting a side of fresh fruit or fluffy hashbrowns ($2.25) like my dining counterparts did. 4/5 Spices Cafe is serving up awesome food at reasonable prices in a cute cafe.

    A great homey café for brunch! This cafe is a small gem on colfax. Feels like a small pop's café with friendly local staff. Don't be tricked by their cost-effective menu! Not only is their food tasty, they also have generous portions. There's limited seating inside. I personally recommend sitting outside during warmer months. They have a cute and quiet outside seating space. Got the granola and yogurt and was impressed by the vanilla yogurt and the generous portions. If you're a vanilla fan, the yogurt is a must-try. Got the denver omelette the next time I went and was again, thoroughly satisfied. Not the fanciest place to get brunch compared to Denver's other cool and hip brunch locations. BUT! If you're ever looking for a quick warm filling option, I highly recommend (:

    First time visiting the great state of Colorado, and the city of Denver. Great spot for breakfast. Very home feeling! Fresh ingredients, great coffee. Highly recommended!!!

    This place is a real gem I love it! Michael is the best and we always get blt on croissant, with fries and onion rings they are delicious. Also the meatloaf sandwich is worth mentioning and I love the pancakes. It's always super clean and tidy, and the service is great. The food is painfully consistent and always absolutely the best. Sometimes they are closed for catering and I'm so sad. Hit this place up!

    The most amazing breakfast food. Best breakfast burrito in Denver! Family owned and it shows. Every time we go it's good. This is a must try!

After reading other reviews and checking out photos beforehand, I knew the Colorado lamb was a must-order. It's not something I usually go for, but it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Absolutely worth the hype. We also ordered the birria short rib and hickory smoked picanha, and both were solid choices. The shrimp and corn grits were amazing, and I really loved the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Other dishes like the chickpea croquettes and the chili relleno were also pretty good and rounded out the meal nicely. The wait staff was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe. The only minor downside was that the outdoor heaters were a bit too hot, but that's a very small nitpick. Overall, an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Great food, great service, and a place I'd happily come back to.

Edit: looking at the photos for the brisket sandwich on Yelp, the portion for that also seems smaller for delivery.

As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio
