    Been here a bunch. Love the Peaches and Rye cocktail. The food is good and I really appreciate how they allow you to customize ingredients in a dish for dietary preferences. I’ve been when they’ve had live music on a decent number of occasions and always think it’s too loud and have never been particularly intrigued by the music. They had a solo performer, a guy named Joel playing some awesome classic tunes with a great voice as really pleasant volume level. Please have him back more often! I would come on a night he was playing for sure. Really made the atmosphere more enjoyable with pleasant music at a nice volume level.

    I always enjoy Sam Fox restaurants. There just seems to be a solid backbone of culture in the company, The service is always great - shout out to Aton at Culinary Dropout last night. The food and menu options are always spot on - there is a good selection of mocktails for the alcohol aware. The ambiance, decor, and entertainment options are usually good as well. I've been for live musicians and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up, Culinary Dropout Denver!

    My steak frites was undercooked. The rest of the food that my friends had was good.

    Incredibly slow and inattentive service. Items forgotten. And lack of knowledge around dietary restrictions.

    The food was really lovely - and perfectly proportioned. The restaurant was very clean with a modern decor. The covered patio was very loud but the restaurant was able to move us inside so that everyone in our party could hear better. The only issue we had is one menu item arrived cold. We then notified our waiter, but it took another 30 minutes for the meal to come back. B y that point, most people had finished eating. The restaurant did not do anything to rectify this.
