Housed in a former mortuary, the decor layers macabre remnants with posh details in a window-flanked space overlooking the charming Lower Highland neighborhood. The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

We ordered from the Denver Restaurant Week menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was great. Parking was a little challenging and we had to pay but a nice restaurant to celebrate an event. We were celebrating a birthday.

Disappointed the restaurant week menu is only available during dinner. We booked a 12:45 reservation but were told only the brunch menu was available. They should post online that it had limited hours. I didn’t find much on the brunch menu that looked good. I wouldn’t have wasted my restaurant week pick on this restaurant when there are so many good options in the neighborhood.

Great service, great food, thought it would be a more romantic vibe but it was very loud. This might just depend on the time of day. Great spot

Four of us were there for restaurant week. It had been years since we were last there. Everyone loved the menu, from devil's on horseback to boa buns with BBQ duck to exotic nachos. The main dishes were as good as the appetizers. We tried the lettuce wrapped shrimp and the chicken dish. There was even a unique desert called eton's mess with a mix of unusual tastes. They had turned up the music so loud that you had to yell at one anther to be heard, but were thoughtful in turning it down when asked. We will definitely be back again.

We had the menu for Restaurant Week. The starters and deserts were good. The entrees were disappointing. Dry and flavorless. Wines were overpriced, like most places. The building and views are wonderful. I am not likely to try dining again but the rooftop looks like a great place in summer.

Very bad. It was restaurant week and so you'd think it would be really satisfying but it was not. The bun was the best thing but they were not even warm. The shrimp lettuce wraps were mediocre but not much shrimp! We sent the wine back because it was awful. The desert was some crème and plantings - I didn't eat mine. My son had tiramisu it was good. Overall I don't plan to spend my money there again.
