Angie Spencer
Debatably the best steakhouse in Denver. Excellent steak, margaritas, and Creme Brule. One of the nicest dining experiences in town if you're looking for a high-end steakhouse experience.
Bianca Leon
Absolutely amazing!! From being greeted to ending our night! Went out for 2 birthday celebrations and everything was perfect. One of the wait staff were so nice to the children and took pictures for us. Food was outstanding. Four steak dishes and one chicken all gone! The best part dessert and drinks. Amazing! Will definitely be back. Wish I got more photos of the food and drinks! Overall a great experience
Timothy McFadden
Awesome steak, as one would expect from a steak house, along with a great wine list, sides, etc. We both had variations of the filet. The Au Gratin potatoes were incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant for very special occasions. It's certainly not something we can afford on a normal basis ðŸ˜

We had an amazing time with my husband's bday. From checking in it was wonderful they know it was a bday celebration and everyone was very welcoming. The atmosphere is very nice. I love the big 2 lion statue outside the entrance. The food was wonderful. My husband had the steak and I had the sea bass and other sides that we ordered. It was just a wonderful time, so if you are looking for nice fine dining. I do recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. Shout out to our server Stephen- he is wonderful and very knowledgeable about everything, he recommends an outside place if you are planning to do something afterwards 😊.

I hadn't been here in years. Now, I'm regretting that choice. Food is A+. Service is even better, if that is possible. Sometimes you just want things perfect - and not too experimental. I go to a lot of restaurants and I have an eclectic palette, but sometimes I want to enjoy the quality and simplicity of a product, prepared perfectly.

This place never disappoints! The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great. Has the price gone up over the years? Yes , but it's well worth every cent. We planned on taking pictures of the plates to post...but we dug right in and totally forgot. I did manage to take one of our appetizer...it was the bacon wrapped mozzarella...so delicious!

The food and service were great. The wild mushrooms were delicious. Bryan did a great job taking care of us. The area where we ate was a little awkward being tucked away from the rest of the restaurant. I guess that's where you put families with a baby?

I went during the lunch hour and sat at the bar. Friendly bartenders talked as if they already knew you. The burger i had is probably the best burger around down town. The bread basket that came with lunch was a plus. If you want to impress your date... i would make sure this place is one your list.
