Amazing topas style meal. Service was super quick and very knowledgeable. Perfect place for long or short meals. I loved the fish and fresh oysters. We also had the carrots, Kansas City, steak, stable fish, and chicken. For desert we had the delicious ice cream sandwich. Highly recommend for celebrations, business meetings or just a fun date.

We had a surprisingly good dinner last night with an amazingly kind and lovely server, Stephan. We had no trouble walking in and getting a table for two. We ordered the gem lettuce salad, crispy cauliflower, cabbage, and the pork chop with a glass of the Chilean cab franc and everything was delicious. The pork chop serving was too much for the two of us to finish but we wanted solid veggies and may have ordered too many appetizers before the entree. We split everything. We highly recommend if you are LoDo looking for a really lovely and definitely not snooty experience. Oh and the music wasn’t too loud making it possible for us to have a nice conversation.

Ive just been exploring downtown Denver while I'm here for the week on business and I stumbled across this place. The menu is unique, and everything sounds amazing. I ended up trying the kitchen margarita, lamb, shrimp a la plancha, lamb arayas, and finishing off with a cappuccino and Crème brûlée. I don't need to break it down by dish but every single thing was so flavorful, and the best food I've had here so far. Highly recommend this place if you're in town.

This was my first time visiting The Kitchen American Bistro, and from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. I had the pleasure of having Momi as my server, and I mentioned right away that it was my first time here and I wasn’t sure what to order. She didn’t miss a beat — she recommended starting with their signature “Downtown Derby” cocktail. Great call — it was the perfect way to kick off the night. After that, I decided to fully trust Momi’s recommendations and let her guide the entire dinner. First up was the Carrots plate — I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first (it’s just carrots, right?) — but when the dish arrived, it completely exceeded my expectations. A fantastic start. Next came the Lamb Arayas — absolutely a 5 out of 5. Tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Momi then surprised me with Grilled Oysters, which were also very good — I’d give them a solid 4 out of 5. For the main course, she suggested the Bone Marrow, and let me tell you, it was another knockout — easily another 5 out of 5 and something I would highly recommend to anyone visiting. To finish, Momi insisted I couldn’t leave without trying the Mousse Dome for dessert — she was absolutely right. The perfect ending to an outstanding evening. Overall, between the food, the service, and the experience, The Kitchen delivered a night to remember. Huge thanks to Momi for making my first visit unforgettable — I’ll definitely be back!
