New American Restaurant · LoDo · 69 tips and reviews
Mitchell Wulfman: My favorite "New American" I've eaten anywhere. The hype is real. Great for private events, and awesome staff.
Denver Westword: The Kitchen Denver is always in synch with the seasons, making it impossible to nail down one amazing dish. If summer is your favorite season, hurry over and try their seasonal menu.
Kelly Wooldridge: Unfortunately it's ALL good. Have Britt or Kyla make you a drink and talk wine with Tim. Your life will be good.

Louis Baltimore: This is a fantastic new neighborhood Italian pizza and pasta joint. Everything I've tried so far has been great. Fresh homemade pasta and pizza. Yum!
Jessica: There are power outlets at the bar! Awesome!
Brandon West: Good Italian-style pizza, nice diverse menu if you want a sald or pasta. Brown butter budino for dessert is amazing. Brown butter caramel needs to be more of a thing.
