We love dining at Annette and frequently grab drinks before hand at their sister bar, Traveling Mercies! The menu is always thoughtful and exciting – this time we shared the skate wing, which was a first for both of us!

I would have given this place 3.5 stars, but since that’s not possible, I rounded up to 4. The food is incredibly fresh, and I loved the atmosphere and the host. The waitstaff was kind, though they seemed a bit worn down, and their energy wasn’t fully there, but they were still pleasant.

As for the food, I had high expectations. The beef tongue was delicious top notch but felt like too small a portion to share. Also, pairing it with bread doesn’t do it justice—it’s a standout dish that deserves a better side to enhance its flavors. The pasta was creative, especially with the cheese, but something made it overly salty. The mussels were delicious, and I liked the simplicity of the sauce.

However, I was disappointed with the caviar snack—at $11, I expected more than just one piece. My sangria could use less ice. And while the bread was amazing, I felt there was too much of it; it shouldn’t overshadow the quality of the other dishes. Overall, great food but with a few areas for improvement.
Honestly go to enjoy the experience and spoil yourself a little. I wouldn’t come here again unless invited. A good one time experience,

A definite “MUST VISIT” if you’re in the area… everything from their interesting menu, to the beautiful, open-kitchen venue, to their amazing service was excellent!

I dined solo as I was in Denver for work and reading online reviews pointed me to Annette. I opted to sit at the bar and the bartender, as well as various other staff did a great job keeping my needs met and my taste buds happy.

If you go on a Tuesday, it’s happy hour all night, so they have nice deals that are available throughout dinner service. They have a nice menu, filled with something for everyone and all items are shareable… Most are actually available in half portions too, which was great for me as a solo diner.

I started with their deviled egg which was excellent and basic. Nothing fancy or crazy, just a very nicely seasoned yolk (filling) which tasted great. Next up was a half order of their Butter Lettuce and Tarragon salad. What an interesting and fun compliment for them to add a sunflower seed brittle to this salad! It offered a nice texture as well as a sweet bite that complimented the tarragon very nicely. This was such a perfectly dressed and plated salad that!

Dinner course consisted of their orecchiette and since it featured Calabrian chilis, I asked for extra of those be included in the preparation. The half order looked small, but I couldn’t finish it all. Definitely filling and packed with flavor. A slight bitterness from the lemon preserve and a nice heat from the Calabrian chili. Save room for dessert… They have several that looked amazing!

My final course was simply a single profiterole and a scoop of their strawberry lime sorbet (separately, of course!). The profiterole featured a bay leaf ice cream inside it and homemade salted caramel on top. I’m not normally appreciative of caramel, but this was so good, I licked the spoon to get it all! The pastry dough was the best profiterole I’ve ever had! The combo of everything in a single bite was dreamy! Switching to the sorbet – Really Really Good! (But it’s sorbet, what more can I say about it?).

Highly recommend stopping in here… Make reservations though, they get busy!

We had the best time at Annette’s last weekend! Wow the food was spectacular! The chicken liver stole the show and was absolutely unbelievable! Highly recommend getting a reservation and checking this place out! The service was awesome and we are excited to add this place to a list of our favorites!

To me it was good but not great. We got almost everything on the menu. I liked the mussels, deviled egg, and steak the best. The other dishes were ok. I was not a fan of the chicken, it was tough and overcooked. The ginger ice cream and ice cream sandwich were great! Cocktails were all great as well.

We went with a large group (8 people) and to be honest the server was not very helpful and none of us could hear her over the music. Many items on the menu were also sold out. We had a vegetarian in our group and the 1 vegetarian main was sold out, so she could basically only order overpriced salads and fries. Then we just ordered everything on the menu that was available to make things easier for the rest of us. These plates were small and not easy to share amongst this many people. Which I understand, but the server should’ve maybe told us to order 2 of the smaller dishes. We had asked about sizing and she was not very helpful.

Lastly, we made a reservation ahead of time and still had to wait 10-15 min for our table. The tiny entrance was super crowded with our group of 8 & others waiting around. Overall for that price point of about $100 per person, I wasn’t super impressed.

4.33/5 Visited Annette about a month ago during our trip to the Denver area. I’m glad we stopped here because the small plates were delicious. Of everything we tried, the cabbage stood out in the best way. I hope to find a way to replicate the recipe! This isn’t necessarily a problem, but I’m not a huge fan of places where the tables are on top of each other so that’s what takes away from the atmosphere. If I lived in the area, I’d make this part of my takeout rotation.

I attended a really great wine pairing event at Annette for my first visit there. My friends and I were blown away by the food – really great flavors, elegant simplicity and everything felt local and fresh. I really loved the squash blossoms and pork dish. Since we were drinking Amevive wine, I didn’t have the chance to order a cocktail but I cannot wait to return especially for the all night happy hour on Tuesdays.

My review is based entirely on the food.

I wanted to love this place. The ambiance was great, the cocktail I drank, amazing. When it came to the food, everything was underseasoned.

The grilled lengua with marrow toast sounded right up my ally. The presentation was great, but the flavor was just richness with no salt or acid.

Our steak frites was also underseasoned. Proper seasoning is such a foundational thing, it was all we could talk about as each dish cane through.

The only dish that wasn’t underseasoned was the potato with caviar. Then again, one of the main ingredients is concentrated salt.

I would come here for happy hour or drinks, but I’d eat elsewhere. It was just too expensive a meal to fail at seasoning across 3 of 4 dishes.

It was a pleasant experience as we had the pleasure of eating in a yurt. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice as we were seated separately from everyone else due to the size of our party. The food was good, nothing too exceptional, and many of the dishes felt like small plates meant to be had with alcohol. Some of the food was saltier than expected, and none the less was delicious with the bold flavor profiles. Definitely worth checking out.

Loved this intimate farm to table restaurant. The bouillabaisse was amazing with a nice consistency to the fish and a slight spice/heat to the base. The French fries were shoestring and amazing in aioli. So happy with the wine pairing. A cab sav special for the night. Loved it. Thank you so much!
