    One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to a few. IMO you must get the sweet potato, sourdough tortillas (comes with the frijoles puerco), scallops, halibut, emmoladas, and birria. The tacos suadero was good, but nothing to write home about. I’d definitely visit again!

    You are not going to learn anything new from my review aside from the fact that if you haven't been exposed to this type of cuisine then you are likely going to be in love. The rest you know, high level production design on the interior, one of the best views of Downtown Denver, and a very specific yet eclectic mix of food and drinks... It leans very Spanish paella), Moroccan (lamb sausage), with some toe taps to the Middle East, and then a mega mix of all of those things (goat cheese croquettes). Recommendations include sitting outdoors in the Summer and catching a reservation around sunset. Good for groups, good for dates, I do not think that this place would be considered expensive by Denver standards for this type of restaurant.

    What a cool restaurant! Loved the open concept kitchen. Ambiance was great with warm lighting, welcoming atmosphere, bustling but not too loud, and incredible design with a unique eclectic flare. We were a bit disappointed at first as our reservation was pushed back a few minutes due to some larger parties still wrapping up their service BUT if we hadn’t had an extra 10 minutes, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to check out their super cool rooftop! Loved all the photo ops, the Bus themed mini bar with appetizers and I definitely want to come back to use their cool igloo seats for the holidays! Jillian was our server and she was so sweet and had great recommendations. From our drinks to food, everything was fast and extremely delicious. Can’t wait to come back for more :)

    Me, my hubby, our son, my adult daughter, our son-in-law and grandson came here for a fun family Saturday afternoon. I made reservations and got an amazing deal on Groupon!!! This was my daughter & grandson's first visit. He's 15 months and loves fish! It was such a beautiful, magical experience and memories forever. We went to get lunch first. The hostess, Stephanie, was super efficient, friendly and professional. She got us a table right by the tank with our grandson right next to it. I appreciated how she went above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were great. I had Rosita Margarita (new item) & A grog martini & the shrimp spinach wrap. They had a few drinks and loved them all. Food was hot and delicious. We went through the exhibit afterwards. It was a perfect memory we'll have.
