As two people who have worked in the service industry most of our lives, my partner and I don't leave bad reviews unwarranted, but this is one of the worst dining experiences we've had in Denver (both born and raised here). We're big fans of Angelo's but wanted to try somewhere with a wider range of foods that still had oysters, and Blackbird had all day happy hour on Monday, so lunch there seemed perfect! It...was not. -server was very nice, but got me what I assume was a boozy lemonade? When I ordered a hard tea that they had on tap -she was going to replace my partners captain and coke with Jack Daniel's since she couldn't find captain. One is a rum, one is whiskey. -none of our order was written down, which isn't terribly odd, but I ordered a dozen oysters and got muscles and fries instead. I let the server know, no biggie. She took the muscles back and then it took 20mins to get the oysters out after we'd waited 30mins for our starters and another 20 for the wrong order. Great quality oysters, but every one was FULL of bits of shell to the point where it was hard to eat them at all safely. -despite all these issues, (even with the manager appearing to have been there) nothing on our bill was comped. Which we never ever expect or ask for, but considering the number of mistakes, even just the drink being taken off would've made sense. We ended up paying over $100, not including the 20% tip that we still gave regardless of our experience because we understand it's a tough industry. On top of all this, my partner and I now have food poisoning a couple hours after eating here, without having eaten anywhere since lunch. Y'all... don't go here. It's not worth it.

Unfortunately not the best experience, especially for $30-40 a person.
The servers were nice people, but when it came to the food - especially the burgers - there were problems.
3 burgers of the burgers were wayyy undercooked - one was literally “cold” pink, like raw - when it was supposed to be almost well done. We couldn’t finish any of the burgers.
Other food we ordered was “adequate”, but nothing better you’d get from BWW or Chilis tbh.
We were also charged $9 for refills on our soft drinks, after being told it was free per refill
😕unfortunately not the best experience, at least for dining

Really disappointed lately. Ordered the salmon salad a few weeks ago and they didn't provide dressing and it wasn't nearly as good as it used to be. Skin on salmon? on a salad? Just placed and order online and it was cancelled....kitchen closes at 7? Hard to order from places when it's so inconsistent.

Wow!!! So surprised to have first class meal at this cute old restaurant bar/I don’t think I’ve met someone as attentive as Dory as a waiter in years! I’ll be back every few weeks thank you so much!

Slow, unprofessional with a splash of arrogance. Left after 30 minutes no food, no hope.

Really good pizza, however the best thing on the menu has to be the Pork Belly Bites, absolutely delicious carmalized pork belly with BBQ sauce that melts in your mouth. Definitely the highlight!!!

Service always unmatched Atmosphere is so charming Busy, fun, great spot Best pancake I've ever had, sincerely. Crispy and fluffy, I wish I could take a picture of how good it smelled
Poached eggs were not runny enough for my liking. My only note

George was great ;) jk Jodi was great. Love the food
Food was delicious but service was terrible. We sat at the bar and our bartenders barely acknowledged us. Sat for over 40 minutes waiting for our food and not once did one of the bartenders check in with us. There was a party in the other room but it did not seem to be affecting them (they weren't rushing around or anything...it was kind of strange). Finally spoke with the owner and he found out our ticket had been lost. Only comped us for one drink not the meal. It would of been nice to be comped for all our drinks (there were only two of us) or an appetizer. Whole experience was strange. This was our first and last time we will come here.

Food was pretty decent, but our service was strange. We were sat immediately by the owner. Soon after we met our waiter who was scattered, sweating, and disoriented (you can put 2 - 2 together like we did). Our food took over an hour to arrive and some meals were cold though the flavors were good. Serious service issue here. Will not be returning.

Extremely impressed with this place. The staff and owners blew me away with the first class service we received at lunch. Food was on point, great beer, selection, and overall a pleasant experience. Most definitely will be back again! Shout out to Garrett! 👍🏻👍🏻

I love this place! Food, drinks, vibes all immaculate! The owner is so kind and welcoming! Always a smile on his face. They have a great happy hour and specials! Oh and don’t sleep on the desserts! Put black bird on your list, you can thank me later! 😉
