My husband and I went on a Saturday night. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We were celebrating my birthday, and they gave us a complimentary dessert, which was a nice touch. Some people have mentioned that the portions are tiny, but for a small plates-style restaurant, I think the portions are generous. My only suggestion is for them to expand their cocktail menu. It wasn't busy, yet they were out of three cocktails. However, the ones we ordered were good.
My favorites from the dishes we got were the watermelon salad, the short rib, and the tiramisu. My husband loved the short rib and the crispy Spanish shrimp.

I took a date to LaRoux for what I was hoping would be a quiet, intimate experience, but the place was so loud I could barely hear my date talking. We were seated in the front room where every table was full and the noise was overwhelming. As the evening went on the other tables emptied out except for one table of three extremely loud women across from us. They were so loud I actually asked the server to move us to another part of the restaurant which is something I have never done before, but I just couldn't take it anymore.

Some of the dishes were very good, but the shrimp appetizer was heavy of breading and how it was fried. Same for the chicken piccata which was very heavy on breading and over fried. The short rib was excellent. They have also changed their menu to all small plates or the theater pre-fixed menu, which the above was off of. Felt limiting and may be where they do the majority of their business, but the lack of choices was a turn off.

A new favorite. The service and food were excellent. Joshua is a throwback waiter, just top shelf. Happy hour prices very reasonable. Tasty music at the perfect volume for conversation. The decor is beautiful. My only request would be to revisit the lighting. The chandeliers are beautiful but overpowered by the harsh LED lights that, for me at least, killed the otherwise warm and welcoming atmosphere. For sure I'll be back. So good!

Great happy hour. Great ambiance. I recommend the shrimp, the bread and steak tartare ( although the creme fraiche was little much on the tartare, i just scraped some off) so good. We'll be back!

Our second time to enjoy the atmosphere and amazing food at LeRoux. The service was fantastic and Lenny the bartender/waiter treated us to a new summer drink - which in keeping with the “Bond” list of signature drinks - we named Jinx after Halle Berry due to its unique blend of flavors including raspberry. LeRoux has a great bar, excellent wine selection and the food is amazing. Perfect atmosphere for a fun evening or date night.

Came in for a quick drink and bite during happy hour. We ordered the YOLO - it was nice, but surprised to see a strong orange flavor, since the description didn't seem to have that. The truffle deviled eggs were nice, but the truffle oil was average. The melted leek foccacia sounded exotic and we were informed that it would have melted leek within, but turned out to just have a few bits of leek on top and nothing else to flavor the focaccia. The herbed butter and evoo combo was salty and avoidable. On the whole, didn't enjoy our experience here as much as in Cholon or YumCha. Plus the server seemed in a hurry to get us our bill, just after we were served the starters, even though it was early evening and not many folks in the restaurant. Quite surprising and didn't feel welcoming in the least. Cholon service on the other hand was superlative. Not getting back here in a hurry.
Four of us had dinner. Everything was highly seasoned and satisfying. We had the deviled eggs and focaccia appetizers which were surprisingly good. The mussels and the sauce were tasty. The breaded pork chop's crust was very crunchy but the pork was just fair. The fries were great. We sat by the window in the bar area and it was not crowded so the noise level was low. The service was attentive and very accommodating. We like this restaurant.

Two diners seemed to like their food. Two of us thought our dishes were mediocre at best. The service however, was awful. We were brought several dishes/drinks that were not ours and kept having to tell them 'no, that isn't ours'. There seemed to be a lot of confusion/chaos. I was brought a glass of wine when we all had made drink orders but only one wine was brought to the table. We waited quite a few minutes and finally our waiter brought a tray of all four drinks for all of us. Huh? Soup (onion which the diner enjoyed) and salad (a Caesar we split; I cannot recommend it. It was very wet, limp and not good) arrived and then nothing for about an hour. The staff kept saying our meals would be right out. They apologized for the delay. And they comped some of the food acknowledging that they had messed up, so they did tr to 'fix' things. We were still pretty disappointed in the whole experience. Ambiance was not great. It was fairly noisy. I cannot recommend LeRoux.

Their menu is small and "pan-European", which is actually great because it's easy to decide. We had five different dishes between us, and they were all outstanding! Better to do a few things well!! Their seasonally changing cocktail menu is extensive. I suggest getting there before Happy Hour ends at 6:00 and trying one of each! :) Several of the staff and the chef were very attentive to my many food insensitivities. Victor, our waiter was very gracious when we were a few minutes late for our reservation, and helped us make sure to get to the theater on time. The location, indoor and outdoor seating is at the charming North end of the 16th street mall, about a 15 minute walk from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. We loved it!

I'm sorry, but I expect more French dishes if Lerox is supposed to be a French restaurant. Yes, there was Onion Soup and Mussels, but just as many Italian dishes. No Steak Frittes. No Coq au Vin. No Duck. No Foie Gras. The food that we ate was delicious. But I feel that the menu needs a revival

Hosted a business dinner for a group there and can’t possibly say enough nice things. Service was personable and incredibly attentive, the food was amazing, unique yet comfort food, even the drink menu was a creative fun James Bond theme Justin if delicious drinks served by bartenders with personality. Bravo to the entire team for an all around great experience! Just go and definitely try the spare ribs and the onion soup and focaccia bread. Best I’ve ever had.
Excellent old fashioned. The Burrata was divine!
