    Fantastic 5-star meal located in the quaint Highlands neighborhood of Denver. My wife and I came here for Valentine’s Day and had an exceptional experience. The 9-course meal was a journey unlike any dining experience we’ve had in Denver; each course paired with a cocktail or glass of wine that complemented the flavor palate. The ambiance was dark and the music was subtle; we felt like we were enjoying a meal in New York City. Thank you for the experience.

    We love this place for its unique character and delicious food. We went for breakfast today, I had smoked salmon avocado toast and my husband had Barbacoa breakfast tacos. Both were excellent, very generous portions. Even the side of fruit was perfect. Excellent service also. It really feels like a special occasion every time we’re there.

    Very delicious food and very nice ambiance! Felt the price for the quality of food was definitely fair. We got the Gnocchi, Tempura Mushrooms, Pork Collar, Sweet Potato, Carrots and Candy Bar! All delicious. Would come back and get all of these dishes again aside from the tempura mushrooms. They were good, but just a bit heavy and overly fried.

    Only comment would be that the lighting is so low that it is impossible to read the menu without using phone to light it up.

    Have been to Bruto a number of times, but last night's meal was a step up. (A star up?) Which in some ways is hard to believe, because earlier visits were very impressive. What made last night different? A strong sense of progression through the meal, with courses building to an astounding main course of Bison tenderloin of unreal flavor and nuance. But there was brilliant complexity in every individual course. Non-alcoholic beverage pairings were exceptionally inspiring, the drink and course it accompanied responding to each other. I have never had a meal with a wider range of flavors, textures, and temperatures, including many novel sensations. Frankly, it was a revelation, fine dining as high art. The environment was also somehow calmer, perhaps because it was a weeknight, although the "performance" of the open kitchen remained fascinating.
