What a memorable experience. Thank you, Matt and the staff at Palace Arms, for an incredible evening of history, service, and decadence. From the moment I walked in to the adieu at the end of the evening, it was perfection. I loved that we got a quick taste of the room's history (score! I picked the booth next to Napoleon's revolver collection) before sampling Palace Arms' menu. The fact that we got to sample every item was incredible. I am so glad I didn't eat a lot of the bread at bread service, so I had room. The first course--Gotham Greens Market salad had amazing flavor with the honey Dijon. I could eat that salad every day, and the Oysters Rockefeller were baked to perfection. Second course--it's hard to pick a favorite. The flatiron steak was tender and served with an amazing sauce au poivre, and the portobello mushrooms were a nice savory dish. Paired with the bottomless duck fat fries, yum! (Also, whose idea was it to bring those back out with dessert? Genius!) Last--the show of bananas foster was fun. Unfortunately, I am allergic to bananas, so I could only be a spectator, but I could share with others at the table. The Centennial cake was decadent, and I appreciated that I could take it home with the surprise macaroon. So appreciative that I was able to attend this fantastic event. read more

A rainy Tuesday night elevated at Palace Arms tonight! I got resurrected from the waitlist to be part of tonight's high-end dinner only several hours before the gathering. The intervention from the Universe or what?? Once I got my party invitation, I put on one of my favorite cocktail dresses and off went downtown to be part of the magical night in August. I remember, one of the first few in-person Yelp events was at Brown Palace Hotel (it was the 2021 Yelpies.) All the memories from that wonderful night were still fresh and yet tonight's occasion was more intimate setting than that. Only about 50 Elites got together for an exclusive dinner party just for us (yes, the restaurant took a night off from the regular diners and opened up the place just for us.) The theme was "LE PALAIS FRITES: A TIMELESS FRENCH DINING EXPERIENCE". I knew it was going to be another night of gluttony (LOL!!) and yet who complains a lot of food? Absolutely NOBODY! Let's get into tonight's menu, shall we? Our dinner started out with Merlot (red) and Chardonnay (white) and they were both bottomless. I had to steer clear of alcohol tonight so the restaurant had a very yummy mocktail for non-drinkers and it was called "Ginger Peach". A good handful of Elites went with this non-alc option. And it was delicious! The bread (a bit like the Brioche bread) along with seasoned/salted butter was served before all the below started to appear with almost no break between the dishes: FIRST -Gotham Greens Market Salada (Honey-Dijion, Shaved Vegetable Crudites, Toasted Pecans). Simple salad with a game changer of toasted pecans. LOVED IT! -Palace Arms Classis Caesar. This is a staple at a/any dinner occasion. -Half Dozen Ice Cold East Coast Oysters -Half Dozen Broiled Oysters Rockefeller. Although I am not a huge fan of oysters in general, I appreciated these to be part of tonight's menu. NEXT -8oz Creekstone Flatiron Steak. Perfectly medium rare (closed to rare.) The brownish sauce underneath the steak was a cognac sauce. The sauce made this dish so magical is an understatement. -Half Chicken. What I liked about this dish was that there were a lots and lots of garlic in it. So tenderly cooked where it almost melted on my tongue. When I used some of them for the portobello mushrooms (that we got earlier), it elevated them (the mushrooms) to the next level. -Roasted Portobello Mushrooms. Very simply cooked and yet, I just LOVE mushrooms. Between the big players like the steak, chicken and lobster, they almost acted like a chaser to cleanse our palates. Quiet player and yet it was an important instrument in an orchestra type situation. -1.5lb Broiled Main Lobster Thermidor. This had the King Alaskan Crab Leg type presence. The presentation for this dish was quite nice. INCLUDES -Bottomless Duck Fat Fries. As the name says it all, it was bottomless. At our table, this was highly coveted item for the night. SIDES -Green Beans Almondine -Black Truffle Macaroni Gratin (I grew up eating gratin; my mom's favorite dish to make for us. Yum!!) At this point, we all were so full. And yet, we were forced to create another chamber in our stomachs for, not one, but two desserts! -9 Layer Brown Palace Centennial Cake. And while we were eating that, two wonderful female workers started to cook... -Palace Arms Bananas Foster right in front of us in the center of the dining room. Bananas were cooked in plenty of butter, brown sugar and spiced rum. And at the end, some scoops of vanilla ice cream were added. Goodness...we were fed again by generous Yelp. And they collaborated with the chefs and workers of the Palace Arms to create this magical and elevated feasting occasion. Grateful? Well, this simple word does not describe the appreciation we all Elites had tonight. Now we need to spread the word about this wonderful place to people that we know. We shall pay it forward! read more

Wow... palace arms you had me at first sight. History, decadence, and execution. Oh the story these walls could tell if they could talk. Love the architecture and the art deco vibes scattered throughout the hotel as you find your entrance to palace arms. The set menu in addition to the wine pairings was well thought out. Crazy to think that we dined amongst the largest collection of napoleon artifacts outside of France! The show stoppers were the oysters Rockefellers, the lobster and the flatiron steak. Everything was well seasoned and elegantly presented. The food was abundant and the service was noteworthy. The f&b director was a great host for us and I feel like this is the perfect place to do a corporate Christmas party. Feel very thankful to have attended this event! Matt thank you for curating such a nice event. You always manage to outdo yourself. read more

Absolutely some of the most delectable morsels I've ever tasted! Every dish was almost better than the next but my favorite by far was the flatiron steak! Also, the Centennial Cake at the end was exceptional (and I'm not even a sweets person). Apart from the food, the service, presentation and ambiance were all equally stellar! read more

What a very amazing evening we had at The Palace Arms! This historic hotel restaurant met every single need we had with bells on. Impeccable service, superb menu, and exceptional combinations of wine teed up a spectacular evening! The Director of Hospitality/F&B greeted us with wonderful tales about the history of the hotel and the bygone era of stagecoaches unloading by the first door to the restaurant in the late 1800's. He also shared the very special Napoleon paraphernalia encased in glass. Outside of France, this restaurant boast the largest collection of Napoleon's artifacts and guns outside of Paris! Now that is impressive!!! We dined on a fabulously fresh oysters on the half shell, oysters Rockefeller, homemade bread, pillowy and hot, with rich butter! The Caesar stood strong and market green salad was fresh and crispy with the perfect amount of toppings, including my favorite, figs. Man, enteren the incredible lobster Thermidor and steak, I couldn't choose my favorite. The chicken was juicy and tender also in a wonderful sauce moutarde. Squishing the roasted garlic from it on the crusty bread is the ticked! The black truffle macaroni was an obligation to try, and OMG, I almost died and went to heaven. Hands down, I would eat that as a last meal, maybe even better than the bananas foster, which is clearly the belle of the ball. You HAVE to run there and order it NOW!! Who cares about anything else when you have cheesy, noodly, crunchy goodness with TRUFFLE oil in a dish that is broiled a little to create this wonderful crispiness you long for? I can taste it now.... But I can't really, so I am sad. I will be back for sure! The 9 layer cake was the only thing that wasn't up my alley because of immense sweetness, but wow - it wins the beauty pageant for sure! Wonderful experience for fine dining with fabulous attention to detail and impeccable service. Thank you, Yelp, for bringing me closer to my God in the truffled macaroni dish. read more

Attended my first Yelp Elite event last night at Palace Arms inside the iconic Brown Palace. From start to finish, it was such a memorable dining experience. We kicked off the meal with a classic Caesar salad and a half dozen broiled oysters Rockefeller before moving into our entrées which were the Creekstone flatiron steak, broiled Maine lobster thermidor, and roasted portobello mushrooms. And of course, the star of the night, bottomless duck fat fries The sides were just as indulgent with green beans almondine and a rich black truffle macaroni gratin. For dessert we enjoyed bananas foster (loved watching it being made tableside) and the decadent 9-layer Brown Palace Centennial Cake. Grateful for such a wonderful evening with amazing food, great company, and a beautiful setting. Can't wait for the next one! read more

First off, a huge thank you to Matt for inviting me to this event, and to the Brown Palace for closing the restaurant just for us to enjoy for a few hours. It truly felt like a lifetime of wonderment! Where do I even begin? Fair warning--I have nothing negative to say about the event or the Palace Arms restaurant. Walking into the Brown Palace itself is an experience of pure extravagance. Once inside the restaurant, you're instantly transported to another era, a reminder that Denver has always been more than a one-horse town. The staff were outstanding--friendly, attentive, and precise. My water and wine glasses were never empty, and they anticipated my needs without ever needing to ask. The food? Absolutely exceptional. I normally don't go for seafood, but I sampled the lobster and Broiled Oysters Rockefeller. Both were so good they nearly converted me into a seafood lover. My Creekstone Flatiron steak arrived a bit rarer than I usually prefer, but the tenderness and the rich cognac sauce more than made up for it. The sides paired beautifully with the dishes. And while I don't usually have much of a sweet tooth, the nine-layer Brown Palace Centennial Cake was truly unforgettable. All in all, Palace Arms is the kind of place you look forward to returning to again and again. read more

This event was so much fun! I am so glad I had the opportunity to come along! The food was impeccable and the staff was top notch! They moved around us seamlessly and had super interesting things to say/insight about the hotel and restaurant. Some of them have been there for over 15 years! The Palace arms is such a unique dining privilege/experience. With the largest collection of napoleon era items, the room itself is worth visiting. My favorite dishes were the steak and the Mac gratin, and the bananas foster was to die for. The chicken was incredibly moist and the oysters Rockefeller were scrumptious. I would recommend Palace Arms to everyone looking for an elevated dining experience with stand out historic atmosphere as well. read more

This was a spectacular event. An intimate dinner with new foodie loving friends. The staff was kind, accommodating and all around wonderful making it a standout experience. First Course: - Bread - nice and fluffy with a salty, herbaceous butter - Oysters Two Ways - They served oysters on the half shell and oysters Rockefeller. I have never experienced either before last night. Both were good, but I enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller a bit more. - 2 Salads - Caesar and Market. The Caesar salad was your typical Caesar salad with a heavy anchovy flavor. I loved the market salad with the large butter lettuce leafs with shaved vegetables, honey dijon and candy tasting pecans. 2nd Course - Steak - with cognac au poivre. I don't really know what the sauce was but it was delicious. it had a heady pepper taste and the steak was perfection. - 1/2 Chicken with roasted garlic cloves and sauce moutarde. The chicken was so moist and flavorful and just the perfect amount of garlic. - Lobster - The whole tables eyes got big when they brought out the lobster that had Tarragon, Gruyere, and Dijon. I have never had Lobster like that. It was a thing of beauty. - Black Truffle Macaroni Gratin - A delightful change to macaroni and I love anything with Truffle. Cooked perfectly, lovely flavor with a touch of crisp. - Fries Cooked In Duck Fat - We had so many amazing items but this was one of my favorites. I love fries and these cooked in Duck Fat gave them an elevated flavor that I went home dreaming about. One bowl was just not enough for our table. Dessert: I don't know how we even had room left for this course. And we were privileged with a table side show of how they make Bananas Foster. - Bananas Foster - Not a lover of Bananas but they certainly changed my mind with this dish. It was so decadent served over vanilla ice cream. I loved the hints of the rum as all the flavors mixed together into a perfect bite. - Centennial cake - layered cake worthy of a royal dinner. It was everything you could possible need a dessert. - Macaroons - Just when you thought you were done. They surprise you will one final farewell. Tiny chocolate Macaroons that were spongy and chewy. Really a lovely night with amazing food and people! read more

Culinary Elegance at Palace Arms: A Beautifully Curated Yelp Event! A huge thank you to Matt and Yelp Team for organizing such a beautiful evening. I'm grateful for the invitation and could see how much thought and coordination went into making this dinner such a success.

The wine pairings throughout the evening were thoughtful and elevated each course beautifully.

Thank you again to Matt, Edward, the Palace Arms team, and my tablemates for creating such a special night! read more

Dinner was held in The Palace of Arms which holds the largest collecting of Napoleon era memorabilia in the world! FIRST: Market salad was delicious very light, perfect amount of dressing and excellent flavor. The butter lettuce worked well. Cesar was good a bit over dressed but authentic dressing. Oysters were delicious light and crispy! NEXT: Flatiron Steak was good but a bit over peppered on the ends. The middle pieces were better and perfectly cooked Mac n cheese was amazing. Very heavy but in small portions it's good. The portobello mushrooms were a hit all around. They were lightly cooked to perfection and the sauce complimented perfectly. If I'm honest, the lobster was a tad disappointing. I still don't know where the actual lobster was. I did get the top/head half so maybe it was all in the tail? The broth in the half chicken with 40 cloves of garlic was incredible.. so flavorful. I actually liked the broth better than the chicken. LAST: Dessert was delicious the 9 layer cake presentation was a 10/10 I loved the chocolate crest and gold foil. Bananas foster was good but a little too rich for me personally. However it was a good banana foster, I liked the cinnamon and crunchy bits. And they even finished it off with fries for the bananas foster ice cream! Nice touch Palace Arms, nice touch!! One of the best parts of the evening was the meeting of random strangers all with an affinity for good food! Thank you Yelp!! read more

Loved this event!!! One of the best Yelp events I have had the pleasure of attending. Thank you to Matt and all the staff at Brown Palace for putting on such a decadent event. The evening started off fantastically with hefty pours of delicious wines, which continued throughout the evening ;). I selected the Duckhorn Merlot - a true treat. Mouthwatering bread and two kinds of salads came out next. The favorite salad of the evening for me was the Gotham Greens Market. I will absolutely order this the next time I go to the Palace Arms. Two kinds of oysters were served, raw and Rockefeller. Oyster Rockefeller was to die for. For the main course, we got to try a little bit of everything - portobello mushrooms, duck fat french fries, flatiron steak, lobster thermidor, and chicken. All were so very, very good, but those fries with the sauce paired with the steak - amazing!!!! Bananas Foster and a slice of the Centennial Cake was served for dessert. Bananas Foster was one of the best I've had (paired very well with the duck fat fries too). Amazing event! Amazing people! Amazing food! Thank you!!! read more

This was my first yelp event as an Elite and also first time I've been to this hotel. I've always wondered what that building was and glad to have been apart of the Dinner Party. The food was amazing. Enjoyed the platted family style dinner. The wait staff were too notch and very professional but also friendly. Talked about Ghosts, each dish, met some new people and got to experience such an amazing and historical restaurant and building. 100% coming back here for a date night or even wine and dine myself. read more

Beautiful space, friendly staff, and delicious food! Thank you all for putting on an amazing event. Now the food review-- why we're all here (most of the time, right?!)-- We had two different salads, both of which were yummy and different. I think I liked the Gotham Greens salad slightly more than the caesar. It just felt fresh and light! The oysters were good-- but I had just been in CT recently, so they felt a little small. But it's Denver, I have lower expectations for oysters in the mountain region. The steak and the sauce that came with it-- amazing! The lobster, very tasty. But I wish it would have been hot, or at least warm. It came out pretty cold. The chicken, I didn't really care for all that much. It felt a little bland, and if I was cooking it at home, I might have left it to roast in the oven for a few more minutes. The sides were all delicious. The large portobello mushrooms, I would have also cooked a little longer. And lastly, dessert-- the bananas foster was fun to have that made directly in the dining room! The centennial cake was yummy, but VERY sweet. And to my surprise, the macaroons were my favorite dessert. I usually don't care for macaroons, I find them to be plain and boring. But these had a delicious filling, and were very tasty! Thank you for being such amazing hosts-- I will definitely be back with friends and family, soon. And I am so happy to be a part of the Yelp community! read more

I went to a Yelp event at the historic Brown Palace Hotel and it turned out to be such a great surprise. The restaurant introduced their new menu and the food was incredible. Every dish was tasty, plentiful, and full of balanced flavors. The wine pairings made the experience even better and the service really stood out. The entire team showed pride in every plate they brought out, which made the night feel special from start to finish. Between the delicious food, the beautiful dining room, and the outstanding staff, this is definitely a spot worth visiting to celebrate a milestone in your life. read more

The totality of the experience was exceptional, greater than the sum of its considerable parts: the decor, the service, the food, the company, the pace. And... bottomless duck fat fries! The $49 price point for the new Palace Arms menu is reasonably competitive for a high end experience, especially considering you'd pay multiples of more at Wolf's Tailor or other special-occasion places. Loved the oysters, the Mac and cheese, the steak, the fries. There are upcharges on certain dishes, and one that I craved but I found a bit hard to eat was the lobster Thermidor (though that may have been a function of the unique serving for the event: eating lobster for me is a suck the legs, take some time, immersive experience, and this wasn't the setting for that. Understanding that this restaurant is seeking a comeback to glory days, this is a great step and a wise pairing with Yelp. read more

I have never been to the Brown Palace so this event was outstanding with all the history this hotel and restaurant holds! The menu choice was absolutely amazing with the starters, main, and desert. I liked the smaller table because it was more intimate that you cooked actually talk to the people at your table while sharing the family style meal. There was bread, Caesar salad, Market salad, oysters on the half shell Rockefeller oysters, steak, chicken, lobster, mac and cheese, bottomless duck fat fries, and green beans. Oh my goodness was everything perfectly seasoned and cooked, our whole table loved it. For dessert we got to try three different ones which were the Centennial cake (must have!), the live making of banana fosters and lassity a chocolate macaroon. The Centennial cake was my favorite because it was chocolate but not too much chocolate that was paired with ladyfingers, buttercream, and a little bit of strawberry. Their service was great as they checked on our tables constantly and made sure we had everything. One of the waiters before we all got in there was out front with a piano guy and he sang for us and his voice was amazing! read more

What a way to celebrate a pre-birthday! I am so grateful to be one of the fifty chosen to experience this luxurious Yelp dinner party! I've been to The Brown Palace before for the afternoon tea, spa and to spend the night. However, this was my first time dining at The Palace Arms. It was a wonderful experience! The food, the service and the atmosphere were top- notch! The Palace Arms has a new dining concept called Le Palais Frites. It's a prix fixe French dining experience. It is only $49 for three courses. That is a true bargain for a fine dining restaurant! There are add ons which can make the bill more expensive. Did you know that The Palace Arms has the second largest collection of Napoleon artifacts including his dueling pistols?"! The manager shared information about the restaurant and the hotel. The meal started out with bread which looked like a puff pastry. It was delicious, warm and served with herbed butter. We were also offered red or white wine. I enjoyed the Chardonnay. The first course included: 1. Gotham Greens Market Salad - This was my favorite salad. I loved the combination of toasted pecans, vegetables and honey Dijon. I will definitely order this the next time I visit. 2. Palace Arms Classic Caesar - It was tasty, but the sauce wasn't the best Caesar I've had. I would think there would be added drama and fun to see it created table side. 3. Ice Cold East Coast Oysters - I'm not an oyster fan, so I'm probably not the best person to review this. It tasted too fishy, but oyster fans at the table enjoyed them. 4. Broiled Oysters Rockefeller - Even though I'm not an oysters fan, I found this dish to be delicious! I liked the breading. No fishy taste at all! They were beautifully presented. The second course included: 1. Creekstone Flatiron Steak - The steak was served medium rare. The steak had a delicious cognac sauce. I found the steak to be a little too peppery, but still tasty. 2. Half Chicken - Beware vampires, this chicken is made with 40 cloves of garlic!! It was tender and had a nice flavor. 3. Roasted Portobello Mushrooms - This was the only thing served tonight that I just didn't like. It had no flavor, and parts of it were cold. I would not order this. 4. Broiled Maine Lobster Thermidor - What a beautiful presentation! It was easy to access the fish. The various seasonings included tarragon, Dijon and Gruyère cheese. The sides included: 1. Green Beans Almondine - I liked this dish, but it didn't feel special in a gourmet way. Maybe, I'm just not a huge green beans fan. I wouldn't choose this side in the future. 2. Black Truffle Macaroni Gratin - OMG!!! My favorite thing on the whole menu! It's elevated mac & cheese. I LOVED the crispy topping. I could have been a pig and eaten the whole thing, but my kindness towards table-mates prevailed. I will ALWAYS order this when I dine at The Palace Arms. The desserts were not served family style, but instead we were given huge individual servings of the two desserts. They included: 1. Palace Arms Bananas Foster Flambe - Having lived in New Orleans I had experienced the celebration that is Bananas Foster. This version did not disappoint. The dessert was cooked table side. I love when it lights on fire! I love the combo of ice cream, bananas, rum and LOTS of butter and sugar 2. Nine Layer Brown Palace Centennial Cake - What a beautiful looking cake and it was also incredibly delicious. I like the special touch of The Brown Palace design on the chocolate. So many layers - so many scrumptious flavors! I am so glad I was introduced to The Palace Arms through the Yelp Dinner Party. I raved about this experience to my husband. I can't wait to share it with him on another visit! read more

This was my first out to the Palace Arms and my first outing with Yelp. What an absolutely wonderful evening. I honestly had no clue what to expect, but this went above and beyond. The food was delicious. There was a little of everything to showcase the wonderful food vibes from the Palace Arms. Edward and his staff at the Brown Palace went above and beyond. I got to learn about history. I had the pleasure of meeting new people. Huge thanks to Matt and everyone else involved in making this happen. I cannot say enough. From the food to the wine, to the people, to the atmosphere - what a very special evening. I highly recommend considering the Palace Arms for a remarkable dining experience. It was really wonderful letting the door shut behind me and stepping into history. Must see!! Again, thank you all! @brownplace @palacearms @yelpcolorado read more

Palace Arms is the perfect place for a Yelp dinner party! To begin, I found a seat and was greeted with a pack of matches and a stain remover. So clever! The wait staff had Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon ready for my glass. We started with the Gotham Greens market Salad, Palace Arms Classic Caesar, Half Dozen Ice Cold East Coast Oysters, Half Dozen Broiled Oysters Rockefeller, and bread. I preferred the Gotham Greens because the honey-dijon and toasted peacans provided so much flavor. The oysters were nice on ice. Next, we were served 8oz Creekstone Flatiron Steak, Half Chicken, Roasted Portobello Mushrooms and 1.5Lb Broiled Maine Lobster Thermidor. Yes, all this food came out together! My favorite was the steak the Cognac Sauce Au Poivre that came on it was delicious. I would have liked a spoon to get some more sauce for the steak. The chicken was very juicy, the lobster was good, but extremely difficult to get out. The mushrooms went very well with the meats. The sides for this course were Green Beans Almondine, Black Truffle Macaroni Gratin, and bottomless duck fries. The green beans were buttery perfection. The macaroni was crunchy and melted in my mouth. The fries were tasty and cooked to a perfect crispy outside taste. I would have preferred have them served with the starters and refilled throughout the experience, like our wine was constantly refilled. Last, we were served a Nine Layer Brown Palace Centennial Cake while the staff prepared Bananas Foster in the middle of the room. The cake was very rich with chocolate. The Bananas Foster was presented with the flare you would expect from a restaurant like The Palace Arms! This event included valet parking, which was another top class amenity. I would have preferred more time between courses. This was lots of food. I would recommend skipping lunch before you experience. Palace Arms is steeped in history. Relics of Napoleon are all over the walls, and combined with the Brown Palace Hotel's history, elevated the dinner party. read more

This was mt first Denver Yelp event since moving out here from Ohio and let me tell you it set the bar wayyyyy high. Everything was amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The manager came out to meet everyone and personally thanked us. This is definitely a spot I would not have considered if it was not for an event like this. Now I know what they offer and definitely think this could be a place to bring friends visiting from out of town or my in laws. The food was fantastic. We loved everything. The only feedback I would give is that the steak was somewhat overpowered by how much pepper it had, but the steak sauce was amazing. Both the Cesar and vinnegarette salads were delicious and prerfectly crunchy lettuce. The oysters were fresh and the Rockefeller ones were seasoned so well. The half chicken with garlic was tender and juicy. The green beans..perfectly crunchy. Mac gratin, delicious. There was so much food. The wine selection kept coming and was not harsh at all, went very well with all our dishes. The mushrooms tasted like steak and were huge. My favorite was probably the lobster and the fries. Dessert was bananas Foster made right there in the room and a huge slice of chocolate cake. 10000% would come back. Not to mention the history of the hotel and restaurant along with the memorabilia from Napoleon. This was so fun and unique and we got to meet so many new yelpers. 100% best event I've been to! read more

What a stunning and historically rich venue for an amazing Elite experience. Ed was such a gracious host and I loved all the details he provided about the Napoleon collection as well as for the history of the hotel itself. Knowing these little nuggets made the experience even more special. The dining experience is top tier and the details were phenomenal, from emblems on the plates, chocolates to the gold leaf on the dessert everything was gorgeous. We sampled almost everything from the prix fixe menu including lots of add on's. Shining stars for me were the Gotham green market salad, broiled oysters rockerfeller, creekside Flatiron steak and the lobster thermidor. All so elegantly plated and all so very delicious. That cognac au poivre sauce is something dreams are made of! To finish the evening the tableside bananas foster is not only a show but also the perfect sweet treat to cap off a perfect meal surrounded by the most beautiful Yelpers Denver has to offer.
