Outstanding service and even better food. They accommodated a walk in for us and then brought us amazing food over and over. Recommend - cabbage, gnocchi, skirt steak.

Food was amazing! Get the lobster roll!!! Well worth the money. The caramel appletini, chefs kiss! Grace was superb! Nothing worse than going into a new restaurant and the server hasn’t tried anything and can’t offer recommendations. Grace’s recommendations were spot on!

We hosted a company dinner Upstairs and everything was top notch. I worked with Sammy to plan the event and it couldn't have gone smoother. The entire team was so helpful from menu selections and recommendations to day of coordination. The staff for the evening was so welcoming and accommodating, everyone had such a nice time. It was a 10/10 experience, would do it all over again.

In the heart of Denver, where the city’s pulse beats with a rhythm that melds the old with the new, The Kitchen American Bistro stands as a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of American cuisine done right. This is not just a restaurant; it’s a sanctuary where the essence of communal dining is celebrated, a place that Pete Wells might describe with a blend of admiration and eloquence, noting its unpretentious elegance and the magnetic warmth that draws patrons into its embrace.Upon entering The Kitchen American Bistro, guests are greeted with an ambiance that balances rustic charm with a sleek, contemporary edge. The space feels both expansive and intimate, with tables set just so, encouraging conversation and the sharing of meals. The lighting, soft and inviting, casts a glow that makes everything seem to shimmer, setting the stage for a dining experience that promises to be unforgettable.The menu is a reflection of the land, a tribute to the farmers and artisans who provide the ingredients that are the backbone of every dish served. Here, the philosophy is simple: let the ingredients shine. And shine they do, in plates that are thoughtfully composed and executed with a precision that speaks of a deep respect for the culinary arts.A highlight is the Colorado lamb shank, braised to perfection and falling off the bone, served atop a bed of creamy polenta that’s as comforting as it is luxurious. The dish is a symphony of flavors and textures, a celebration of local produce and the culinary heritage of the region. Another must-try is the seared trout, sourced from the crystal-clear waters of the Rocky Mountains, accompanied by a delicate lemon butter sauce that enhances without overpowering.But what truly sets The Kitchen American Bistro apart is its commitment to sustainability and community. This is a place where the ethos of “food is love” is palpable, where each meal served is a reminder of the restaurant’s dedication to not just feeding people, but nourishing souls.As the meal draws to a close, with a final sip of a perfectly paired wine and the lingering sweetness of a homemade apple pie, it’s clear that The Kitchen American Bistro is more than a restaurant. It’s a cornerstone of Denver’s dining scene, a place where the simple act of eating becomes an act of joy. In its embrace of both the local and the seasonal, it stands as a beacon of what American cuisine can be—rooted in tradition, yet always evolving, always inviting, always home.

My bf took me here for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious. Got the carrots, bolgenese and burrata. The food was good but for the price the portion sizes should be bigger on the main course entrees. The service was good and we left feeling happy with the meal.
