Nice atmosphere - food left me a little disappointed. My salad had too much dressing and was soggy at the bottom. My steak was very heavy with garlic - I like garlic - but it was overwhelming. I hoped for more.

Always a treat to set foot inside the Brown Palace. Ship Tavern has a nice atmosphere. Wish the food was better. I would stop here for a drink at the bar, but wouldn't come back for the food.

We had a great table near the front. Good service, really good food. The Burger/Fries and The Rotisserie Chicken pot pie were really good. Almond macaroons were great.
Maureen
Unfortunately the service was really slow and it was not busy. Server apologized several times for slow bar service and apps taking a long time. The server was not at fault for the slowness. The lobster seemed undercooked in the lobster roll and Mac and cheese. The lobster roll lacked flavor and needed salt and pepper. The crumbs on the oysters rockefeller were a bit burnt.

Decor has an interesting history. Food very good but my meatballs though very delicious were not hot. Clever drink list. Loved the old fashion. Came back for lunch the next day!
Marissa
Was nervous about the new menu but everything was great! I would love if the tomato goat cheese dip came back though!!

Absolutely terrible! From the moment we walked in the door our server was extremely rude. She barely acknowledged us throughout the night. Our food was cold and even management didn't care about what was going on. For being on the expensive side this place has gone down hill. Will not be returning and would never recommend it to anyone. Very disappointing to say the least.

Our server neglected to ensure the salad had dressing on the side. The crab cake was drowning in a sea of tartar sauce and covered with a mound of frisbee lettuce. We actually refused the food because it didn't look at all like what we thought we ordered. But, sadly, it was. The cocktails and wine were very good. Dessert was very good as well, but took forever to come out. We took a few bites and had to leave to make our theatre curtain time. Overall, not the Tavern experience I remember.

One of the BEST experinces in Downtown! Forgot I was deep in the city. Beautiful. Historic. Caught an amazing jazz band Saturday night! Cozy & Quaint. Them chairs... I could sit there all night! 🥰 Staff - On point. Didn't miss a beat. The small tavern feel was so refreshing. Food absolutely amazing. I will say their menu is seasonal - as you may not see everything the online menu shows, but easy to adapt. Delicious. The Bartender. Bravissimo 👌 *Parking - street parking is a gamble, but a block away is a secure parking garage $8 on the weekends. *There is valet as well.

They were understaffed. Waitress was doing everything from serving multiple tables to making drinks behind the bar. Mocktails were horrible but I think that's because whoever made them (not the waitress) didn't know what they were doing. Food came late, some drinks never came. I really believe this was a staff issue. Got my salad with tuna on top and there were literally 3 leaves. Then I saw another table get the same thing with a lot of leaves. A few things were left out on the bill and we had no reason to correct it.
My husband and I took my daughter and my son-in-law here for lunch. We sat down and the waiter took our order fairly quickly. It went downhill very quickly from that point We ordered a dozen oysters. He served them first and the only thing they came with were tiny bottles of hot pepper sauce. No cocktail sauce or vinaigrette of any kind. Also the oysters didn't taste that fresh. Next he brought our meals out and served my husband clam chowder. My husband had ordered the chicken pot pie. Since we all had our food, he just went ahead and ate the clam chowder. My son-in-law had ordered the fish and chips and They came without any tartar sauce. He asked the waiter to bring him some tartar sauce. At the same time two people ordered another drink. It wasn't until we were almost finished that he brought the tartar sauce and the drinks. I had the French onion soup. It was so rich I could barely eat it. Of course, when he brought the check, he did charge us for the chicken pot pie. It took at least 10 minutes to get his attention to come by the table at which time I which I pointed out the error and then he did at least take off the whole charge without charging us for the clam chowder. The service was very, very slow and the place really wasn't that busy. Upon leaving, we went to the bathrooms right outside the restaurant and I commented to my husband that two of the three sinks in the bathroom weren't even working. He said it was the same in the men's room.  I definitely don't recommend this place nor will ever be back.

Disappointing and expensive experience. No menus available when we were seated. Me and my mom had the Fish and Chips and the fish was undercooked. My dad had the Clam Chowder and the Chicken Pot Pie and was happy with his selections.

My wife and I met friends for a quick dinner before a concert at Trinity Methodist Church. We both ordered salads with added grilled chicken. My Caesar Salad was literally a small head of romaine, cut in half with a minimal amount of dressing drizzled on top, There were 5-6 sad chicken slices on the side with 7-8 croutons scattered about. Even though she ordered dressing on the side, my wife's salad was drenched in oil & vinegar with a ramekin of green goddess dressing on the side. Her grilled chicken was also 5-6 sad slices, and tasteless. It was too late to return the salad, so it was choked down. Very disappointing as each salad was over $20.

Building is beautiful, food was delicious and Dean our server was exceptional. He took the time to listen to our travels and gave us a history of the building. He is an asset to this amazing restaurant. If you are in Denver a visit is a must!
