Absolutely loved this brunch spot. We had the mimosas, a martini, and the chicken & waffles Benedict; everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The flavors were on point, and the portions were great. The service was top notch from start to finish, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back again in the future!

Fun fact, the slate hotel used to be Emily Griffith opportunity school. It was so fun to visit as a teacher.
The lounge is INSIDE the slate hotel.
Service was phenomenal. Very kind waiter! We were on a time crunch, we wanted to order apps and head back for the Nutcracker. The waiter understood, helped us get our order as quickly as possible, and helped us to pay ahead of time so we can save time! He also took great photos of us!
I got the burrata and toast. The fig mostarda is the best part!
I also ordered the purple mirage. It was rum, pineapple, coconut cream, all spice, ube, and lime. It was tropical, but not overwhelmingly sweet or gross.

For my short trip to Denver, this was the BEST place we ate. First the sat our large party of 10 with no issues. The server was fantastic, the drinks and food delicious in the atmosphere… Amazing. This restaurant is located in the hotel The Slate. Which is in an old school brick building. It has the perfect mix between the historical place, same basic structure brick work and then also a modern flare that feels very warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

One of the better meals I’ve had in recent memory. Service was excellent, food was very well done. To start I had the Caesar salad with salmon on top. It was big enough for a full meal, and was delicious. Also had the steak frites, steak was good and the fries were some of the best I’ve had in awhile. My only suggestion for improvement would be to put the chimichurri on the side so it doesn’t overpower the natural flavor of the steak. As others have mentioned, prices were a little high. Overall, a very nice experience if you feel like treating yourself or someone else.

We made a reservation here for brunch. We didn’t really need the reservation since it ended up not being that busy. Our group enjoyed a variety of options both breakfast and lunch type foods. I had a delicious Caesar salad! We were in the area for a teaching conference so we loved the theme!

We had a work event take plate at the Slate hotel and we were treated to a wonderful lunch at the Teacher’s Lounge. The ambience is great, and it was perfectly quiet to hold conversations, even when it is at the hotel lobby.
We tried their appetizers, including the goat cheese ball, the elote fries, the farmers market hummus and bison meatloaf bites. They were all very tasty and varied.
For the mains, each of us chose a salad base to which we added protein toppings we order for the table. The burrata and basil salad tasted great with both the seared salmon and the flatiron steak, which was my favorite.
For dessert, we tried the tempura PB&J – which I’ll confess I wasn’t too interested in, until I bit into it. The flavors were a hit, plus the crunch in the tempura and the sweetness in the marshmallow went perfect together. Very happy with our choices.

The food was exceptional and the price and quantities were spot-on. The service was very friendly but seemed to trail off a bit as the night went on (this was valentines, to be fair). The atmosphere was good, not as nice as something like Sierra, but still pretty good. The chairs were not comfortable at all. Really should look into fixing that. Overall I definitely recommend it. The food was exceptional!

This restaurant is located in the old Emily Griffith Opportunity School, and while some elements of the original building remain, the overall remodel gives off more of a boutique hotel vibe. The décor is beautiful and welcoming, and I was genuinely excited to try it out. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to my expectations.
We were seated promptly, and our server greeted us shortly after—but that’s where the service stalled. We ordered drinks and waited over 10 minutes for them to arrive, despite there being only one other party in the restaurant. When we finally placed our food order, it took more than 30 minutes to come out.
My husband’s flatiron steak may have been cooked to his preference when it was first prepared, but it had clearly been sitting in the window too long and had dried out. My salmon appeared to be baked but was completely unseasoned, and the greens and burrata salad was very light on the greens. Both of us found ourselves reaching for salt and pepper repeatedly throughout the meal.
Our server walked past our table multiple times without checking in or offering drink refills. The only time he returned was to ask us if we wanted anything else. That wouldn’t apply this time. At that point, I was more than ready to wrap things up.
The food wasn’t awful, just underwhelming—especially given the ambiance and initial impression of the space. Sadly, it didn’t meet our expectations, and we won’t be returning. I really hoped this would become a new go-to spot, but it missed the mark.

Well…if you want a presentation but basic food that should be free come and eat here
I rarely rate low but this is just not up to par.
Steak was cold, sausage was overcooked
Small servings and overpriced in my opinion
Can’t burn the beer at least
Eat here if you must
