The food was absolutely amazing - highly impressed and we are foodies! - hands down would rate the food 5 stars. Our server was a bit passive aggressive/maybe they were overwhelmed with the chaos- the other people we interacted with were very nice. The atmosphere is a loud, busy bar type setting that was very cramped and we only had the choice to sit very close to the heat lamps in the kitchen or the back door to the outside porch (and the door was open letting warm air in).....probably wouldn't go back but kudos on the food....wow.

Work & Class is so unique and delicious. You can tell a lot of thought went into each dish on the menu. Our favorites were the lamb, the caprese gnocchi, spiced fried sweet plantains, and the jalapeño cornbread. Next time I’m in Denver I’ll definitely be back. On top of the great meal, the service is also top-notch.

we wish we had more space to try more dishes but everything we had (lamb, brisket, mac & cheese, the BEST salad) was amazing + top notch service 💖
0.25lb is just right for a tasting portion, 0.5lb would be best for sharing for two
vibey place that can get kinda noisy indoors (we had the outdoor patio) but will be dreaming of this meal for a while ✨

This was a fantastic experience from food to service. The owner greeted us and was beyond kind and hospitable. The food was amazing- we had lamb, Mac and cheese, biscuits, steak, pork, mashed potatoes- all fantastic

Johnny kills it on the floor! Exceptional services and his recommendations are top tier. Ask him what he likes! Always have loved Work and Class, spacing is a little tight but overall always a great experience over the years that I’ve been going. Thanks for a great time Johnny, we will be seeing you again soon!!

Delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. Our server (Jonny?) was highly attentive and helpful. We ordered the steak, lamb, trout, massive attack salad and sliced plantains. The meats were delicious, the salad was fresh and well dressed, and the plantains were perfectly done (I haven’t had plantains like these since traveling to Costa Rica) They have options for vegetarian, gluten free and accommodated nut allergies easily. We sat at the c kitchen counter and the cleanliness and food safety of the kitchen staff was impeccable. Recommend reservations as it was very busy on a Friday night. I would definitely return.

Great food - especially the plantains

I almost didn’t want to post a review but I can’t gatekeep this place. My husband and I have a wonderful time anytime we dine here. Not only is the food incredible, the customer service is outstanding. It’s absolutely worth the price. We talk about the Mac and cheese more often than we should. Definitely one of the best establishments in Denver. Thank you Matt, Felicity and team we love and appreciate you all!!
Cozy, lively ambiance with amazingly flavorful food! Got the Coriander Roasted Colorado Lamb, Massive Attack Salad, and Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins - lamb was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned, the salad was refreshing and pretty sizable portion, and the muffins had great texture! The chef was super hospitable and shared a few different food samplings (chickpea croquette, pork carnita taco, and spoon of butterscotch pudding) throughout the meal. Highly recommend Work & Class if you’re in the RiNo area and look forward to coming back again when in Denver next!
They really did it! They beat Noodles & Co. at their own game! Their Mac and cheese is definitely better than Noodles'.
$11 for a toddler size serving is just enough to keep away those with an unrefined palate! 🤌🤌🤌

While the food at this restaurant was undeniably delicious, the overall experience left much to be desired. The portions were minimal, which was disappointing given the price, but the dishes were stellar in flavor. The mac and cheese was creamy and indulgent. The Colorado lamb was tender and flavorful, seasoned beautifully, and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes with goat cheese and bacon were a standout—rich, velvety, and bursting with savory depth.
Unfortunately, the service leaned too far in the other direction. While no attention is frustrating, *too much* attention can be equally disruptive. The space is so cramped that if I need something, I can easily catch your eye—I don’t need to be interrupted mid-bite.
Adding to the discomfort was the common table in the middle of the dining area. It felt awkward and claustrophobic, detracting from the intimate dining experience I was hoping for. If they could refine the balance between attentive service and personal space, while offering slightly more generous portions, this place could be a real gem.

Very good food. Great service. I would have done all 5 stars but is it crazy loud in there. They need some sound attenuation.
