    Initial Reservations at a different location were cancelled unexpectedly, so we had to scramble at the last minute and were fortunate enough to find an opening here. We had dined here previously and knew we couldn’t go wrong. Both visits yielded outstanding service and delicious food in a very cool environment. The location and layout are prime for weekend brunch. We like to try new locations when we are in town, but we are going to make this a regular stop during future visits. The bacon was cooked to perfection. And, our server, Jeremy was extremely polite and professional. His charismatic demeanor and outgoing attitude put everything over the top. Couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Can’t wait to come here again.

    The food is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend a reservation. They were having the pajama brunch and it was packed but since we weren't there for that we got a quiet table in the back with huge windows. Lots of fun, will definitely be back.
    The Original- DenverResponded on February 5, 2025
    Hey Julie! Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so happy you loved the food and that we could find you the perfect cozy spot to enjoy brunch. Our Pajama Brunch is always a blast (first Saturday of every month!), but we love that you got to experience a more relaxed vibe with those big-window views. Can’t wait to have you back for more delicious bites—whether it’s a lively themed brunch or a chill weekend treat! See you soon! – The OG Team

    ‘Twas Delightful. A bit loud and the “Billionaire Bacon” was thicker than anticipated. But overall an amazing evening
    The Original- DenverResponded on February 5, 2025
    Hey Scott! Love the “’Twas Delightful”—that made us smile! 😄 We’re so glad you had an amazing evening with us. Our Billionaire Bacon is definitely more on the thick-cut pork belly side, and we appreciate you giving it a try! Things can get lively around here, but we hope the great food and vibes made up for it. Until next time! 🥂 – The OG Team
