They went above and beyond to help us celebrate my son Beck’s birthday. It was truly a special experience and I can’t wait to go back.

FYI, it is a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant in Denver, highly praised for its intimate, pre-paid, and ticketed tasting menu experience. The restaurant offers an intimate 18-seat, chef's counter dining experience, allowing guests to watch the meticulous preparation and plating of each dish. The menu is seasonal and ever-changing, focusing on innovative techniques and high-quality ingredients. Staff members are knowledgeable, explaining each course in detail and ensuring a seamless experience that often lasts around 2.5 to 3 hours.

We made our reservations in early August for a November 14th chef table’ s experience For a total of $577 prepaid! This did not include beverages. When we got there for a 5:30 time, we were told that our reservations were not made for the Chef’s table but instead at their outside patio. We’ve dined all over the world at fine restaurants. This was far from it. The hostess had an attitude and insisted it was the table we booked. I would never pay that kind of money to eat outside in a non air conditioned area with no class. The only positive thing about this place was that she saw how disgusted and disappointed we were and refunded us the prepaid charge. Many other fine dining options in Denver.

I had the most incredible evening.
From the second we sat down, it felt special, not in a stuffy, fine-dining kind of way, but in that rare “wow, these people really love what they do” way.
Every course was a little moment of joy. The flavours, the presentation, the way the staff explained each dish, you could tell there was so much care behind it all.
The wine pairings were spot-on too; they didn’t just match the food, they made each bite even better.
What really stuck with me, though, was how personal it all felt. The team was warm, funny, and clearly proud of what they were serving. It didn’t feel like a performance, it felt like being invited into something they genuinely love sharing.
Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. I left feeling inspired, full, and already excited to go back.

An absolutely fantastic place that has more than earned its Michelin star. Beckon is a place that does “food magic”, where they’re truly working hard to elevate the dishes and ingredients above not just what seems reasonable, but possible. Each dish on our tasting menu experience was joy. Even things where if you described it to me beforehand I’d have said “I’ll try that reluctantly”. If you’re curious about a fine dining experience and want to do something that truly is different, unique, and exciting, this would be the first place I’d send you in Denver.

Wondering why they have a Michelin star. I’ve been in many restaurants, some of them Michelin stars as well. And this is literally my Number 1. It’s a whole show and experience. I was visiting the city, very excited to go to this restaurant, and I glad I did. No words! JUST IMPECCABLE AND EXCELLENT Make sure you reserve the kitchen counter

This was definitely one of my top 5 Michelin experiences so far! The staff were exemplary, knowledgeable, & all the most welcoming during our visit! We were only in town for a short period and wanted to celebrate a special occasion. The Beckon Team came through! From the greetings and making us feel so special, to the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS dishes that were served.
I think I was most impressed by the idea of them having their own farm, which they use to supply most of their dishes.
If i am ever in Denver again, definitely coming back!
Overall an amazing experience. Scheduled a reservation on a whim with my bf the day of arriving to Denver and everything was fantastic. The food was so good and the staff were articulate and knowledgeable. We had a great time at the restaurant. Would recommend this to anyone arriving to Denver and like a fancy restaurant to go to.

Listen, I’m not going to grandstand. I don’t have the vocabulary to properly discuss the quality, I forget the names of most of what I had last night. But if you’re willing to spend over $300 per person, just do it, don’t question it. Easy recommendation, the tasting menu was excellent and full of deep flavors, the non-alcoholic beverage pairings were exquisitely crafted and enhanced the experience so much, and every staff member I interacted with was kind and friendly (admittedly in the context of speaking with a high-paying customer while juggling 17 tasks each and trying to do so perfectly, don’t expect grandma’s warmth but it was more than satisfactory).
In short, live is too short, the bread was to die for, the drinks were excellent, so just book it.
Quick note to explain the atmosphere and staff: the sommelier misgendered me at one point (I’m trans, called me sir rather than madam) and upon noting it gave one of the sincerest apologies I’ve ever received on this point, and flawlessly pivoted back to the topic at hand. Professional across the board.

Beckon is unrecognizable from what it once was. This restaurant used to have soul, purpose, and story under Chef Duncan—every dish felt like a chapter in something greater, a conversation between chef and guest. Now, under acting head chef Hunter, it’s a cold, arrogant shadow of itself.
Hunter runs the kitchen like a dictator, with zero warmth and zero interest in hospitality. When I asked him a simple question about the inspiration for the menu, he brushed me off like I was wasting his time. At a counter this intimate, that kind of dismissive, rude attitude is inexcusable. The food mirrored his approach: technically correct, but hollow, joyless, and forgettable. It was food without heart, food without meaning.
The only saving grace of the night came from Josiah and the new sommelier (whose name I regret forgetting). They were genuine, engaging, and clearly cared about making the experience memorable. Josiah in particular radiated curiosity and joy—until Hunter appeared. Then it was obvious: Hunter was annoyed by their energy, as if kindness and enthusiasm threatened his control.
Beckon is no longer a place of connection or storytelling—it’s a sterile, ego-driven machine. It has lost its magic, its identity, and its soul. Unless Hunter is removed and the restaurant finds its way back to the spirit Duncan built, Beckon is nothing more than a hollow brand trading on its past reputation.

Great food but most of all the service and presentation was amazing. Really enjoyed that a different staff person presented and explained each course of the tasting menu. Having been to many James Beard award and Michelin star restaurants, I have never had that before. It was very cool that all the staff was included in the meal. Truly unique.
