Visited here last night, which happened to be Valentine’s Day weekend. We had reservations for 8:30PM and weren’t seated until almost an hour after. While we waited, we ordered a drink from the bar…the first red flag was that they were out of the Valentines “featured” cocktails which ironically were the ones we wanted.

They featured a V-Day menu, where you would choose one first course, one entree and one dessert. Our waitress kept coming to inform us that they were out of the “popular” entrees. Which was frustrating being as though we got there hours before closing and they were already running out.

My partner had the lamb and I was stuck getting the chicken, even though I really wanted the steak which they were out of. The portion difference between my partners plate and mine was definitely noticeable. He had two very small chops and whereas my plate was filled.

There were only 2 dessert options and even after putting in our order for dessert, the waitress comes back yet again to tell us they are out of one of the desserts, leaving us no variety. She told us that an hour after us putting our order In. The food was just ok, definitely not a place I would recommend or return to. We only ate about 30% of the food as it just wasn’t that good.

I The atmosphere is cozy, they decorated really nice for love day. I like that they have different levels. The dessert was left after just one bite as it was just not good at all. The bill was $260 for 2 people, I would expect much better food and just an overall experience for that price.

The service was good..it just seemed like they had high expectations but just fell short of. Won’t be returning or giving a word of mouth about.

Such a good meal! I visited with a group of 5 and we were all pleased with the experience. We were seated for our reservation immediately upon arrival. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. I will say the appetizers were surprisingly small but the mains were healthy portions so I didn’t leave hungry. We ate everything from their meatballs to Nola shrimp, ahi tuna, bolognese, crab cakes, and salmon … even tried the banoffee pudding for dessert (which I was afraid would be too rich and sweet but), it was perfect. We’ll be back!

Love the vibe of this place. great espresso martini. We hosted an after work event here and everything was great – had a whole little corner of the restaurant. The chicken sliders were good but my favorite was the ricotta crostini’s with hot honey. Definitely a must get. Wasn’t a fan of the bacon/melon bite. Will come back here for dinner with friends for sure!

A group of us went here for brunch. The restaurant is in a great area! The quotes on the wall are from a book they have customers sign. So much fun. Staff were very nice and friendly. We all had different dishes and all of them were delicious. We were there for about 2 hours laughing and having fun, not once did we feel they wanted to turn the table and needed us to leave. They had a mimosa mini bar with 4 mini mimosa’s that was really nice. I would definitely recommend. The food came out in good time and we did not have to wait long. If you want to hang out downtown and grab some food or drinks this is a good place to go.

We visited the Christmas room they currently have. It’s very well decorated & the service was awesome. Kelsey(?) was great! It is a very cozy atmosphere, I wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like tight places as it’s in the basement of the building.

A couple of things I would say that weren’t 4/5 star is there is a 15% service fee on the checks. I’m confused as to what exactly that is for. Gratuity, house charge, idk. Makes figuring out tipping very confusing!

Also, yes, the prices are steep. Many of the cocktails were coming in a champagne glass which didn’t hold much & they were pricey.

For dinner I got the braided ravioli. It was very aesthetically pleasing. But, I felt like I was eating pierogis, not ravioli. It tasted good & I certainly don’t dislike pierogis. But, I don’t feel like I had ravioli.

It’s a solid 3 star experience overall, & I give the staff 5 stars. I wouldn’t tell anyone not to go. We had a good time.

Stumbled upon this place after our downtown plans didn’t work out. What an absolute pleasant surprise finding this gem. The food was delicious, drinks on point and the amuse bouche a pleasant surprise. Highlights were Caesar Salad with a balsamic drizzle. Tuna Taters, aka bite size crispy rice with spicy tuna. And the BBQ aioli with shoestrings all made my mouth very happy. Couldn’t help but sing the first drink order and definitely recommend a Tropic like it’s hot! Food was quick, and looking up is a must. Highly recommend checking out!

Dinner at Church and Union Denver was exceptional from start to finish. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, but it was the combination of standout dishes and genuinely attentive service that made the evening unforgettable.
The Tuna Tators was the star of the night — beautifully balanced, incredibly fresh, and crafted with the kind of creativity that immediately grabs your attention. It’s one of those dishes you take a bite of and instantly think, I’m ordering that again next time.
The Braided Raviolo was equally impressive. Rich, delicate, and full of depth, it showcased the kitchen’s talent for elevating classic comfort food into something truly memorable. Every bite felt thoughtful and perfectly executed.
On top of the fantastic food, the service was outstanding. The staff was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place where the hospitality matches the quality of the meal so seamlessly.
Overall, Church and Union Denver delivered a dinner that was both delicious and delightfully well‑paced. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a standout dining experience in the city.

I made a dinner reservation at 8:30 PM on Valentines Day. When we arrived, we saw many couples loitering outside/in the restaurant lobby. We went to check in and were told they needed to clear tables so it would be around a 10 minute wait. It was 9 pm, 30 minutes later, by the time we were actually seated. Not to mention, the amount of couples that kept arriving within the time period that we were waiting and were also made to wait. Because it was a special night, they offered a pre fixed menu ($100 per person) for a nice selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. As soon as we were seated, we were informed that they had run out of the espresso cake – the one item on the menu that my fiance was genuinely excited about trying. About 10 minutes later, we were told that they ran out of the Hanger Steak – the one entree that appealed to her the most. I ordered a drink that was supposed to have cayenne pepper in it, and received what tasted more like a refreshing lemonade and there was no pepper at all, clearly an oversight on their part. Overall, this restaurant appears to overbook itself and does not seem prepared to successfully handle a busier evening. Our experience was less than ideal for the price, and I recommend you NOT visit this establishment

Just had the most mediocre Valentine’s meal. We were there early (3:45) due to plans later in the evening. Even though most tables were empty, service was strangely slow. The server had to be reminded several times of things we asked. Since our meal took so long, we also got to watch more people get sat and similar issues. The runners always seem to be confused about which table ordered what. The food was the worst part. The salmon crostinis were something I could make for $2 – three small pieces of smoked salmon, cheese, and overcooked french bread slices. The lamb was two tiny pieces that were somehow cooked differently, one was basically raw and the other was decent. This was served on a bed of chewy fried gnocchi. The panna cotta for desert had less flavor than a yogurt from the store. To top it all off, they charge a 15% surcharge which is stated on the menu to be split between front and back of the house, but our waiter claimed most of that goes to the cooks. So they expect you to pay what, 30-35% on top of already overpriced menu prices??

As a plus side, whoever did their Valentine’s decor did a good job.

So maybe avoid this place on Valentine’s day. I don’t think we’ll be back any day.

Went with a group for brunch. It was great. They were accommodating when we made changes to our reservation. The staff was attentive and on the ball. The food was delicious. We got their Hot Shit breakfast. Everyone left satisfied and happy. The meal is for 2 people $38pp no taxes. Be prepared the bills have a service charge added outside of the tax and outside of the gratuity.
