Classic, classic, classic of the old classic places to go in Denver. Since youth years, the restaurant was flooded and rebuilt, and what a joy to have a small touch of it to enjoy. Food- tremendous (first lox and bagels eaten that had the best egg to top it, and everything so fresh). Service-wonderful! Visit only when you’re not in a rush to fully enjoy what this place gives for food, service, and the always historical live music (trumpet, bass, and guitar). In the old days it was a fancy place for dinner, big band music, and dancing lol. I think the new opening is only open for breakfast, which is such a treat. In all, I probably would’ve rated the visit a 4.8 since the bathroom by the Tavern and by Ellyngton’s had some fixtures gone or not working, but quite minor in comparison to the visit.

Ellington’s looks charming from the outside, but the experience inside was a letdown overall. The interior felt very dull and lacked the warmth or atmosphere we expected.
The biggest issue was communication. One of the days we were scheduled to dine there, the restaurant was closed for a private event—but neither Ellington’s nor the hotel informed us ahead of time. We only found out when we arrived for our reservation, which was incredibly frustrating. The hostess we encountered was also quite rude, which added to the disappointment.
That said, the food itself was genuinely very good, though many items felt overpriced for what was served. Our waiter, however, was exceptional—kind, attentive, and extremely accommodating, even as our group continued to grow. He was the highlight of the experience.

This restaurant prides itself on tradition, warmth, and impeccable service—but our experience was the complete opposite.
We had a 10:30 a.m. reservation and were not seated until 45 minutes later. Once seated, drink service was slow, and it took an excessive amount of time just to place our food order. When the food finally arrived, most of it was cold, and several breakfast meals that were included in the price never came out, despite being repeatedly told they were “on the way.”
Multiple orders were also incorrect, which caused even more delays. When replacement meals arrived, they came with French fries instead of the breakfast potatoes that were supposed to be included. Ironically, after leaving, we saw breakfast potatoes being served to other tables.
When we asked to speak with a manager, we were redirected to the events coordinator, who offered only a small discount. To make matters worse, we were still charged for meals we never received and a service fee. I still left a tip because that’s the right thing to do. For a $400+ bill… Pick another place to spend your money.
Overall, the service was disorganized, slow, and unacceptable. This experience did not reflect the values this restaurant claims to uphold.
We have made going to brunch a tradition for our mother’s birthday for years. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

First off I’d like to say that service was exceptional. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. The food options and atmosphere on the other hand….terrible. We went for the brunch with Santa and were thoroughly disappointed. Very few food options, only meat options were chicken, ham and prime rib. Sad salad options, no desserts. For 3 adults and two kids, the bill was $520 including tip. Felt like I was robbed for what was included in the price. Unfortunately can’t recommend this event until they provide more options and a better atmosphere

We booked a table for thanksgiving brunch . Honestly I was not impressed at all. The buffet lacked a lot of stuff.
The restaurant looks a whole lot different so does the buffet . No omelette station, no pancakes or waffles , no salad station ,
Protein was only salmon, turkey and prime rib, ( no chicken) cheese was on a plate with just 3 choices and dessert was really mediocre. For what I’ve seen online I really had high expectations especially paying $110 per person (mimosa is extra) we were entertaining family from overseas and this restaurant really is basic. Big disappointment. Staff was very nice. We honestly should have just drove to the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. I don’t know how the Brown Palace is rated 5 star . Big disappointment. Our bill was $330 for 3ppl. What a waste!!

I echo similar reviews of late. This is not the place I remember.
Physically the unique decor has been stripped.
We walked in and I felt like we were in a soup kitchen. No music, no welcome, no color. Bill was $200+ before tip and the only saving grace was the amazing waiter. He somehow juggled 8 tables with care and empathy. It’s just such a shame the environment didn’t reflect his effort.

Top notch breakfast spot! I really can’t think of any complaints. The atmosphere was great, the place seemed to be newly remodeled and it looked really good. Our servers were super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. I got the breakfast burrito which I would definitely recommend you try. Overall just a great experience. I’ll certainly be coming back.

Brunch at Ellyngtons today was perfect! Ellyngtons is now in their newly remodeled beautiful space, the menu has been updated with some very creative and fun menu items. Dawa took exceptional care of us, and I truly don’t recall the last brunch we had that was this enjoyable. Do not miss the flavor packed spin on biscuits and gravy and Barbacoa eggs Benedict. Definitely a must try!

Loved my experience at this restaurant. We went for a Sunday brunch after our anniversary, and it was great. Fun selection on the brunch menu. The menu is not too much but just enough to keep it creative. And the bottomless mimosas dinner hurt either. We ordered three entrees. One was a prime rib hash with eggs on top. That came out fantastic. Seasoned well and delicious. We also ordered French toast which was okay. I wish it would have had a little bit more creative flavor, but it was a good French toast. I ordered an Oscar omelette with hollandaise sauce, it was delicious. I love how it was creative. This is something that I would try to recreate, maybe in a different style, but the combination of flavors was great. The server was super fun and fantastic, I think all servers should be like her, especially in a beautiful hotel like the Brown Palace! Overall I would go here again. Bring family friends for a fun brunch. And the price is just right.

Excellent staff and the food was very good….and not over priced. Was absolutely shocked to find the cheap and tasteless renovations that were done. Seems as if a corporation came in and renovated it as quickly and cheaply as possible. Removed or covered all the history and elegance this beautiful dining room had. Whomever was responsible for this should be charged for a crime. But the staff and food were excellent!!
