Where is the Best Salad in Denver, Colorado?
Since I moved to Denver last year I have dined at Racines 2-3 times a month. The food is always great and so is the atmosphere. However, the ONLY good service I have had at Racines is when I sit at the bar. The bartenders are always attentive and friendly, if not going above and beyond. It took me getting mediocre service in the dining room countless different times before I smartened up and moved to the bar. I work in the service industry so I am usually sympathetic towards servers overlooking small details. However, forgetting something I asked for FOUR times and then being rude to me about it is not such a small detail. I am also very understanding when I can see that a server is busy as long as that server can still present themselves with a smile. This is not the case at Racines. Every time I dine there when its busy, my server has been short with us, forgetful, slow, and even rude. This all came together for me last week when I was sitting at the bar. The same server I se
My husband and I enjoy trying a variety of favorites at Chinook Tavern although weekend visits are especially wonderful with great food and live romantic guitar music. However, I am writing this review because on our most recent visit, we treated ourselves to a special Italian Winemakers Dinner that we found to be spectacular. My favorites on the Five Course menu were the Sushi-Grade Tuna Tartare appetizer, the Chateau Beef Sirloin for my entree. I especially liked this dish, it was topped Summer Truffle Butter giving it a delicate touch. And the very unique fresh berries that were served with a scotch vanilla sauce with fresh cracked pepper. I feel the dishes were a wonderful compliment to the wines that were served. Kudos to the waiter for doing such a professional and timely job with this large group. Lastly and most importanly 5 courses and 5 wines for $75…..what a bargain!!!! Can’t wait till the next one We love this place.Pros + Beautiful art and decor ~ off-street
We have eaten breakfast here over a dozen times in the past 2 years. The food and the service are inconsistent – it varies from great to poor. I agree with the bacon comment of a previous reviewer as well as the inattentive staff comment by another reviewer. They used to have the best bacon and French toast. We had not been back in 6 mos and went there recently (mid Dec.) on a Sunday morning. The French toast was barely coated with egg (it used to be excellent) the bacon was incinerated and forget asking for any changes to the menu (for example substituting tomatoes for potatoes – It simply can’t be done). There are too many excellent restaurants in south Denver to frequent one that has inconsistent food, poor customer service and a bad attitude. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. The staff and management are in serious need of rediscovering that the customer pays their wages and that attentive service constitutes a large part of one’s dining experience.Pros + Inconsistent – You
