"Now, onto the vegan options: three members of our party are vegan. Two of them ordered the house dinner salad without cheese, garlic bread, or egg, opting for raspberry balsamic dressing. What they received was closer to a side salad than a full meal for the $10 price, and it was served with regular house balsamic dressing instead. The salad was primarily iceberg lettuce with just eight cherry tomatoes, four cucumber slices, and two slices of green pepper—definitely not worth $10. They also ordered two veggie burgers, each with a side of thick, hot onion rings that had a nice batter-to-onion ratio. However, the veggie burgers were the worst we’ve ever had—stale red onion gave off a lingering bad breath smell for three days, and the lettuce was limp. To make matters worse, the waitress forgot to bring ketchup and mustard, so we had to sneak some from a vacant table. It also seemed like there was a napkin shortage. We had a vegan kid in our group, and the restaurant’s menu had no options for them aside from French fries, onion rings, or steamed veggies. The prime rib plate included beautifully steamed vegetables, but the side of veggies for the kid looked mushy, discolored, and as if it had been scraped from the bottom of a pan. Understandably, the kid refused to try them! Overall, we were really disappointed—not just with what we paid but also with the lack of alternative options. It was a sad experience."

"Solid food. The service was seriously lacking, with staff being largely absent and inattentive: app forgotten, had to wait a long time to order drinks, no silverware when dishes arrived, nobody checked with us after the entrees arrived (or even when they were being picked up), waited for a long time to pay the bill and the server wouldn’t have picked up the check if I hadn’t stopped her before she walked away. I’m a big believer in respectfully providing feedback to restaurants, both positive and negative, and really would rather give that feedback in person instead of online. Restaurant folks work their tails off, and I truly appreciate what they do. I think it’s incumbent on diners to let restaurant managers know when things haven’t been great, so they can get better and stay in business in a brutally competitive industry. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that opportunity here. No one was around or paying attention at the end of our meal. We slowly walked to the front and even hung out at the host stand for a few minutes. No staff acknowledged our departure, so we left without giving feedback. To be fair, the manager didn’t charge us for the app, and folks were certainly friendly. We weren’t mistreated, just not paid attention to. It was a really frustrating experience. The kitchen is putting out awesome food. Front of the house needs work. Fortunately a very rare experience in Denver’s food scene."
