It was really a great experience from the service, to the chefs counter, to the fantastic food, wine and cocktails. Staff really made an effort and just watching the attention to detail and orchestration was fascinating. Highlights were the mackerel, the egg custard with roe, black cod, duck breast, and the A5 wagyu with Japanese whisky. Still, the other dishes also had great flavour, texture and presentation. It was a really memorable experience and we really enjoyed it.

Dinner on Saturday was a thoughtfully composed summer tasting experience, showcasing the kitchen’s elegant precision and deep connection to seasonal ingredients—many sourced directly from their own farm. Seated at the Chef’s Counter, we had a front-row view of the artistry behind each course.
One standout for me was the BC Black Cod, gently cooked and paired with a vibrant bouillabaisse-style sauce. The broth’s bright, rich notes played beautifully against the rich, silky fish. It was a dish that captured summer in both color and flavor—my narrow favorite of the evening.
Jennica was particularly taken by the Chawanmushi, a savory Japanese-style custard filled with celtuce, chanterelles, and roe. It was a luxurious bite: silky, briny, and balanced.
Other highlights included:
• A lightly torched trout wrapped in Swiss chard, dressed with herbs. Simple and striking, both visually and on the palate.
• A beautifully plated horse mackerel and zucchini topped with caviar, offering a refreshing, oceanic burst with each spoonful.
• One of the most inventive courses was a sunflower 🌻 seed risotto in a heritage chicken, leek, and black truffle broth.
Every dish was composed with intention; an homage to both technique and terroir. Beckon continues to be a celebration of Colorado’s ingredients at their peak, elevated through a global lens.

I did some research on restaurants with tasting menus in Denver (since I'd be in town dogsitting) and I kept seeing rave reviews about Beckon. It turned out to be as good as people said. They offer a twelve (thirteen with an add-on, which I didn't do) course tasting menu in an eclectic and intimate setting. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. My favorites were the duck, leek risotto and bread & butter (which sounds weird, but it was phenomenal). Since I went alone, I opted for the chef's counter where I was able to observe the food preparation. I sat next to three ladies (one named Katie!) who were also there celebrating a birthday. This was quite a splurge, but definitely worth it for such an enjoyable evening!

What an incredible experience. We did the chefs tasting menu with cocktail pairing for my boyfriends birthday & it did not disappoint. Loved how so many ingredients were from their garden. Sitting at the table watching the chefs do their thing was awesome. We will definitely be back for every season

I’m so thankful that this restaurant is in our city. I appreciate the passion and presence the servers offer in this lovely little gem. Not only did they accommodate very specific course preferences they accommodated a dairy allergy without issue. I enjoyed the wine selection, I appreciate the variation and textures and flavors. The dessert course was my favorite.

Every positive thing you have heard about Beckon is absolutely true. I struggled to even pick a top 5 of my favorite dishes on this menu! The team makes you feel at home the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave.
There are three seating area options, all offering a different atmosphere to meet any diner’s preference. Perennial Room is the first as you enter, offering more daylight and individual tables. The Chef’s Counter is a shared dining space with a fantastic visual of the preparation of dishes. We opted for the final space: The Sommelier Salon. This single table for two offers the best of both worlds, plus a fun behind-the-scenes of some of the service during your meal. This is not for everyone, but I absolutely loved it!
Sitting in that space, I couldn’t say no to one of the two wine pairing options. Each glass was the perfect compliment to the dish. There is also a cocktail or mocktail pairing option, a fun cocktail and mocktail list, as well as individual beers.
There were small details that made the night feel more at home. We spoke with several team members who presented our dishes, and almost all knew we were celebrating our anniversary. There was conversation, rather than a quick note about the plate. The music was perfectly upbeat, and soft enough to hear one another. Lastly, it’s always special to me when I am given a copy of the menu from the evening to take home. I look forward to the next meal we get to share with you!

Absolutely spectacular menu and so much fun to experience. The team is awesome, the sommeliers are awesome...just close your eyes and enjoy! Recommend booking the chef's table over the other seating options if you can snag a spot.

Truly one of the best tasting menus I've had in a few years. I've eaten all over the world at many Michelin star restaurants and this one is working hard to create something different. I love a husband/wife team, so much skin in the game. The food was incredible, well seasoned, so many places lack salt it's crazy. You're left feeling completely fulfilled, wanting to come back and all expectations exceeded. Wow wow wow. Every detail has been thought about. In addition to the incredible food, the gorgeous design by the team at the restaurant is impressive. Bathroom tile, exquisite. Music is perfect along with the perfect lighting. Extremely attentive staff with an absolutely fabulous wine list. Take the time to schedule a pre or post hang at their bar (Major Tom's) next door.

Awesome experience. I am a bit of a picky eater but everything here was delicious - additionally the service was impeccable and the wine paired beautifully with our food. Strongly recommend getting the Wagyu if you have the option to!

I ate here about 3 months ago, but I am just now getting a chance to write a review. The staff was overwhelmingly helpful, and each was extremely knowledgeable about the food and the pairings. I was sat right by a prep station and was given the opportunity to smell some fresh white truffles which is something I had never done before. The courses were all well thought out and well organized. What made the experience even better was that they had a magical and well-crafted nonalcoholic flight to pair with every course. All the nonalcoholic cocktails were created in house and with the same attention to detail and quality as a traditional cocktail. I had the impression that with a high end and hyper high-quality meal, alcohol would be required to maximize the experience. At Bekon, that is not the case. Can’t rate this place highly enough.
