He clearly knows his job, gave me honest insight on the food and made me feel right at home away from home. Thanks Anthony!

Narrative is a solid, if not overly inspiring, place to eat. The menu is more wide-ranging than you…read morewould expect, given the decor, it swings from burgers to proper mains and pasta at dinner. Several of the items are genuinely good. The wine list is well curated, and the cocktail program is thoughtful and interesting. The ambiance is clean, open, bright, and generally inviting - the service matches the quality of food and decor. 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.

Service is consistently good. One of my favorite places for a drink and a bite in the area!

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.

The restaurant itself was lovely, and our reserved table was ready as soon as we arrived. We had a larger group so were tucked into a high top table near the kitchen, which we loved since we had less noise from other diners but got to see the chefs and servers in action; we were even brought out dessert by the pastry chef. Our server was quick and helpful, but didn't hover. He was excellent at describing various dishes and flavor profiles and helped us decide on the right dishes for both meal flow and quantity (we all shared everything). We started with sopes and some gorgeous duck confit tacos, and then worked our way through the menu getting at least one item from each section. The huarache was also especially delicious, as was the cochinita pibil. We finished with a couple of desserts to share. The entire meal knocked my out of town guests' socks off. Even as someone from Arizona who can be jaded about Mexican food, this meal was a delight.

We came in without a reservation but were able to get a table within 5 minutes. Our waiter came with water shortly. He explained the menu and gave some great recommendations. We ended up trying a few things : Ceviche with leche de Tigre- 4 STARS Reminded me of Peruvian ceviche. It was really tasty and fresh Gazpacho Michoacano - basically a cucumber, cotija cheese, onion, jalapeño, cilantro lime salad that paired really well with the ceviche. This was recommended by our waiter and it did not disappoint. I did think it was a bit pricey for what it was. As our main, we tried the sopes de suadero. These were two heavy loaded sopes. After these we did not have room for dessert. Green Salsa that came under the meat was so fresh and the right amount of spice. Sadly, we didnt have enough room in our stomach to try the desserts. They had this very delicious looking pan de elote than I reallyy wanted to try. the service was great, the music they played was great! Overall a great dinner in Denver!

The green sauce was vibrant and fresh and really a balanced the rest of the dish. The tuna empanada like thing was also good. Love the blue corn shell. The sauce had ants in it though which kind of freaked me out, but it did taste good. Although I knew this was a tuna dish, I didn't know what to expect. Kind of wish the tuna was maybe seared or was something different, but I did like the dish. The short ribs were so tender and delicious. The tortillas were fresh and wonderful as well. The tres leches dessert was also really tasty and had the perfect ratio of cake to milk without it all falling apart from being too wet. In terms of drinks, the corn sour and beet spritz were absolutely amazing. The Negroni was good as well but I think I prefer a classic Italian one. Service was good although sometimes I felt like our server was watching us too closely and I felt weird. In addition on two separate occasions, the cooks that brought the food out touched the food on our plates to make it look nicer. I want to trust that they are clean, but in this day and age of new food poisonings happening all the time, and the fact that they had to open the door since we were outside, I just felt kind of gross about it. Nevertheless the food was absolutely delicious and honestly was worth the price for sure. The food here was much better than some top restaurants in nyc for a fraction of the price. Waited 45 minutes as walk in on Friday night around 8 pm and was definitely worth it.

A few years ago my friend Kelly and I hit up Alma Fonda Fina (pre-Michelin) so this time,…read morenaturally, we had to visit the little sister, Mezcaleria Alma, located next door. Dreamy Chef Owen took care of us at the Chef's Table, encouraging us to start with a Clover Club (her) and a Colada (him), both of which made our first dish, the Tostada de Tora, taste smoove like velvet. From there it was a cacophony of flava', from Mollete de Mejillones to Carne Apache, and from Flautas de Pollo to Barriga de Cerdo. Because Kelly and I are Monarch alumni, we also paired a Carajillo with our dessert of Tres Leches, just like Brother Aquinas taught us. Excellent from start to finish, I live by the rule that if you're gonna do one, you might as well do the other, as is the case with both Alma Fonda Fina and Mezcaleria Alma, two pillars of the Denver dining scene.

The vibes were great, upscale but not over the top (you'd be fine in jeans and a nice shirt). Noise level was perfect, not very loud and easy to have a conversation with everyone at the table without yelling. We got the Brussels as an appetizer (listed as a side item), they were absolutely spectacular and cooked to perfection. The pomegranate seeds added a nice touch of sweetness. There were so many incredible options on the menu it was a struggle to decide on an entree. They have many pescatarian, vegetarian, and even vegan options. I ended up ordering the Sweet Potato off the vegan section of the menu. It was amazing but unfortunately due to my sensative pallet, it was a bit too spicy for me to say I'd order it again. It came on a luxurious bed of hummus and corn. Overall 10 out of 10 experience but I would not recommend the vegan sweet potato entree if you're sensitive to spice. Skinny margs were amazing!! Highly recommend with Herradura (blanco). Note: the daiquiris come in a martini glass - not frozen like tradition.

Made a reservation for 8:15, unfortunately a little delayed but were seated before 8:45 and still had enough time to enjoy a pleasant meal without extending too far behind the 9:30 closing time (we left before 10). I had a delicious lobster ravioli and a glass of bubbles while my sister ordered a creamy pasta with sauce. We both pretty much cleaned our plates. For dessert we shared a scrumptious chocolate cake that was light as air and not overly sweet, just the right amount. We finished with a couple limoncello shots and left feeling perfectly sated. This was such a lovely place to end our vacation, and we would definitely return on our next trip out this way. @azfitfoodfun
