Incredible experience! I would highly suggest doing the mixed beverage or wine pairing add-on. I personally felt this was the most memorable part because the drink for each course complimented the flavors of the food perfectly. One of the courses and cocktail pairings specifically felt like a hug for the soul - the Rye + Truffle with the Black Garlic Adonis. The level of thoughtfulness, passion, and creativity that went into this dining experience were palpable. Thank you!

Very good seasonal food, locally sourced. Bread service is to die for.

I had high expectations for BRUTØ, particularly since its received a Michelin star, but the experience ultimately fell short. While I applaud the creativity and conceptual ambition behind the eight-course tasting menu, I was disappointed by the limited variety of ingredients, protein, and overall substance of the meal. Five of the eight courses centered on inventive deconstructions and reconstructions of grains and vegetables. Although these dishes were technically fine and tasty, they lacked the depth and memorability one would expect at this level. A greater emphasis on protein would have provided balance and contrast. Ultimately, the experience did not feel adequate at the $175+ per-person price point. Perhaps expanding the offering to a twelve-course menu could create a more complete and fulfilling experience.

I found Brutø to be an exquisite and refreshing experience. While waiting to be seated we received bubblies as they were running a bit behind - nice touch. The dishes were creative, delicious, and overall I love the focus on sustainability! The menu consisted of: canapes, mushrooms + greens, uni + squash, trout + carrot, piada + corn, pork + whey, eggplant + chocolate, and rice + carrot (detailed descriptions in my attached photos!). The sourdough piada with smoked corn butter was just as amazing as all reviews mention - I definitely took one home! I also really enjoyed the canapes, pork (which is surprising, I rarely eat it), and the eggplant + chocolate which was served with green curry ice cream that I now cannot wait to have again. We also received handmade truffles with our bill. I got the non-alcoholic drink pairing which I was very impressed with. I highly recommend a drink pairing with your meal; yes, it's an added cost but also an added element to rounding our your meal. I also love the location, in the Dairy Block - very fun. I'll look forward to visiting Brutø again in the future!

This place is world class. I've had some incredible meals before, and this rivals the best of them. The very first bite set the stage - an eggplant faux gras. I devoured it in one bite, but it served notice that I needed to slow down and savor every bite. I had the wine pairing, which was well done and very complimentary. The other amazing thing is that it's a pretty small space, with a spartan and minimalist vibe. Hard to be believe they can make that much magic happen with the space they are in. The experience was not cheap, but I'd go back in a heartbeat.

So much to love here at Bruto. Very professional and everyone there clearly loves it there. Really great staff. When it came to the food, it simply was not worth it. Good, don't get me wrong, cocktails were fantastic and there were bites that were great, but one too many that fell flat. I expected more to justify the price point.

It was a fantastic experience. Chef-driven tasting dinners are always a treat—and not the norm in Denver. Love the ethos and the craftsmanship in every dish. Service was perfect; just the right blend of interaction and time to savor the dishes and talk amongst ourselves.
My favorites of the 11 dishes were both trout ones, the pork, and the bread. Several of the others were too intense for me; a little fermentation goes a long way and for me it overpowered a lot of other flavors. My husband and son loved it all, though, so it’s really just preference. The wine pairing choices were novel and delicious. We took notes, but they also gave us a menu of the food and wine at the end. There are plenty of delicious-looking non-alcoholic beverage options for every course too, definitely not an afterthought.
Made for a great birthday celebration with my favorite people.

Whereas Osteria Francesca focuses on the food, and Alinea focuses on spectacle, I would say that Brutø’s strength really lies in its totally devoted customer service. The food is deservedly Michelin starred, and the atmosphere is modern, comfortable, and upscale. The service, however, is absolutely exemplary. This Chef and their team seem totally dedicated to making sure that every diner has the maximumly pleasurable personal experience possible. Comfortable and engaging, you can’t ask for a more catered experience in Michelin stars.

Had a fantastic time at Brutø for a chef tasting to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Each course was wonderful and built perfectly on the course before it. Just masterful frankly, from the flavor combinations to the service. Each staff member was so friendly and had great vibes. Perfect portions across the full meal, my husband and I both left full with lots to discuss between the menu and the combined mixed bev pairings.Extremely impressive attention to detail and mindfulness to an eco consciousness. Couldn’t have been happier!
