My wife and I had a delightful dining experience at The Counter. The food was fantastic, plentiful and diverse, staff was spectacular and the entire experience was delightfully curated. It is pricey and special and we will be back when the dining budget recovers. I recommend The Counter at Odell’s for your next special night. Start saving now.

We had a spectacular time at the Counter. Incredible atmosphere and service in such a cool intimate setting. I’ve been frequenting the bagel shop on Friday mornings almost weekly for the better part of a year, and finally pulled the trigger on this. Can’t recommend it any more highly. From the insane opening bite of Hamachi Toro and Kaluga caviar on a latke, to the insane umami butter topped akami nigiri, to the Hokkaido scallop gyoza, this meal was absolutely unbelievable. Run, don’t walk, this is a 10/10 experience.

What an unforgettable night. From the first sip of cocktails to the last piece of nigiri, everything was flawless. The food was some of the best we’ve ever had, the atmosphere had just the right vibe, the music set the tone, and the staff made us feel taken care of in every way.
The conversations, the energy, the service—it all came together to make dinner feel magical. The perfect way to wrap up our trip to Denver.
We’ll absolutely be back.

Talk about a hidden gem! The Counter at Odell’s offers sushi amakoosa style dining after hours for up to 14 guests. Every night the menu is different. We enjoyed a 16 course meal that featured fish from around the world and delicious beverages. The service was friendly and very personalable. This is a great experience for anyone looking for a unique sushi dinner in a bagel shop.

My wife and I had the privilege of experiencing Day 95 of the ever-changing menu at The Counter at Odell’s, and I can confidently say this might be the best restaurant in Denver.
From the start, the staff set the tone for the evening. We interacted with at least five members of the team, and every one of them went above and beyond—not just serving, but truly educating. They walked us through ingredients, sourcing, and the inspiration behind each dish with passion and precision. You don’t just eat here—you learn, you connect, and you leave with a story.
The dining format is a pre-fixe, chef’s counter experience that is perfect for a couple or a group of up to six. It is intimate yet social, designed for people who enjoy being surprised by inventive flavors and guided through the journey by a knowledgeable team.
The foundation of the meal is drawn from the spirit of Japanese Omakase sushi dining, a chef-led progression where every dish builds thoughtfully on the last. From there, the influences branch out in unexpected and delightful ways, bringing together the refinement of French cuisine, the bold punch of Korean flavors, the freshness of California farm-to-table cooking, and even playful nods to the humble bagel shop.
The result is a menu that feels both grounded and daring, a series of plates that somehow feel comforting and entirely new at the same time.
Denver’s dining scene has been growing rapidly, but The Counter at Odell’s is in a league with the latest Michelin Stars. If you’re looking for an unforgettable meal that fuses creativity, hospitality, and culinary mastery, this is the place.

Visited on Day 124, and was very impressed! The menu, food quality, drinks pairing and the service were all top notch. Have had the pleasure of dining in comparable restaurants across the country and this experience was on par as the best of them. Recommended & can’t wait for another visit. So cool to have a place like this on this side of town.

One of the best meals I’ve had in forever, worth every penny, left very full and wowed by how delicious it all was. The prefixed menu was amazing highlighting the quality of ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and local produce. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

What an exquisite meal! The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about what they were preparing and serving, with lots of tidbits of information that added to the experience. It was extremely pricey for my budget but I feel that the food was excellent quality and despite the tiny servings it all added up to make me very full by the end. I would gladly go back when my checking account can handle it! I loved getting the goodie bag of bagels at the end. Chowing down on one now as I write this review!

Absolutely amazing experience, top to bottom, food to service. The entire staff made our table of four right at home and served dish after dish of some of the best sushi I’ve ever had, delicious. I don’t remember ever saying “wow” that many times in one dinner
