In Short
Murmuring noise from the bar and the open kitchen in the back still allows for pleasant conversation and intimate dinners. Exposed-brick walls on three sides rise to a soaring ceiling, and despite the narrow dining room, each table offers plenty of room for movement and comfort. The menu changes daily and the kitchen uses local, organic and fresh ingredients. Entrees include marbled pork shoulder rubbed in fennel, accompanied by creamy potatoes and roasted carrots.

This place has been a favorite of mine for four years. I can honestly say that in the 30+ times I have visited, I have never been disappointed. On a recent visit I had the pork sandwich and my girlfriend had the roasted beet and goat cheese salad. Both were outstanding. Also try the chicken and cous cous, the hummus, the burrata and the cheese board.

The menu is both local and seasonal and the wine pairings were impeccable and tasty. I had a great beet salad which was different and yummy. For the main course, they offered smaller and larger portion options which was great. The small plate was plenty of food with a starter salad.

We went to The Kitchen after 5280 made it seem like Colorado's French Laundry. We were all pretty excited but the chaos ensued the second after we walked in the door. There is no discernible waiting area when you enter. You just kind of stand there until the hostess decides to stop talking to her emo friends sitting at the bar. We literally stood there for 3 minutes as she gabbed away. We finally got sat and literally waited 15 minutes before we were approached by anyone. The waitress did not offer an apology as asked us for a drink order as if we were bothering her. The drinks took 5 minutes and she forgot to even order my wife's martini so another server had to pick up her slack. 10 minutes later we finally got an appetizer order in - the fava bean bruschetta and the duck confit. The bruschetta was bland and the confit was good but boring. I am not sure of the quality of everyone else's food but I ordered the ribeye and it was incredibly overcooked. The rest of the night was just slow on the server's part and the food was nothing special. Doubt we'll be going back.
