Favorite Denver Restaurant

by ThePFam

The way the chef builds the fresh seasonal ever changing menu is nothing short of a work of art.

As for all around taste, quality, and presentation, this is our favorite place in town. The nicest staff... experts when it comes to recommending a good wine. They all love their jobs.

As someone who likes to cook and more importantly enjoys fresh, often organic, healthy eating without processed foods, this place is heaven. The skill the owner/chef has with combining flavors is mind boggling. I would never think to try some of these combinations and at times am unsure about them until they make it into my mouth!

The cheese souffle if they have one is the best on earth. I actually ordered a second one last visit after our meal and dessert!

• Pros: Everything!!! Perfection!
• Cons: the long wait at times -worth it!!!

A little pricey but worth it

by PolishPrince

Probably the best service that I have had in any restaurant in years. The food was pretty good, and it is nice knowing that it came from local farmers.

• Pros: Incredible service
• Cons: price

Not for me

by Zabe

I heard this restaurant was really good, but the menu had a terrible selection and the food itself was barely edible, maybe I just don't like American Cuisine, but unless you love it, don't go here.

• Pros: Server was nice
• Cons: The food

best service from front of house, lousy from kitchen

by TomFrequentDiner

Craziest thing...I showed up and wanted to remove the panchetta from a pizza to make it vegetarian. Was denied, because it was too hard the first week of a new menu. So...what makes it so hard to NOT place pancetta on a pizza, instead of PLACING it on the pizza...but still charging for it. The restaurant was half empty, and we were offering to pay more profit for a product that is so easy to make...but instead I only purchased a salad and spent only $8 dollars at the restaurant. Guess they have more money and more patrons than they need...or they don't know the v alue of a penny on every product they serve. Won't be visiting any time soon...

• Pros: Servers
• Cons: Kitchen

it's okay

by cutecocodee

love the space but i think this place is a tad overrated and could use some improvements with the menu.

not as food savvy as other restaurants in other cities but i guess in denver it's o-k

One of Colorado's Best and Supports Local Farmers

by philandy

One of Colorado's Best and Supports Local Farmers: Rarely if ever will this wonderful place dissapoint. This is the type of business locals take visitors to for a dinner night out. Yes - it's louder with old brick walls exposed and an open kitchen, but that ambience is not your typical LoDo shabby rehab with so -so food. Terri and her crew have been a success in creating a comfortable menu and completely unintimidating list of choices. The service only struggles if super busy - but relax - take time at this place and be gracious. They appreciate the customer without fail. Support our best dining venus in these harder times!

Amazing Menu..... But not the best service....

by cubuffalogurl0908

Last night my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate my birthday at Potager ... both he and I were more then impressed with the fresh exciting menu... however the service left both of us with a bad taste in our mouths. When we were there it was before the dinner rush, this would lead one to assume that the service would be amazing throughout our meal, however this was not the case at Potager. There was next to no one anywhere else seated within the restaurant. However there were several servers standing around.... we waited 15 minutes before even seeing our server.... both my boyfriend and I have done food service, so we both understand when it is busy if it takes a server a lil extra time, but this was not the case last night. throughout the whole dining experience it all came down to service as being the one thing that was lacking for both of us... before even deciding to go to Potager we both read the reviews on Citysearch and saw that the service was less then appealling, however it was the food that we were there for. My boyfriend had the grass-fed sirloin while i had the Mahi Mahi...... both dishes were amazing and I would definately enjoy either again, however the lack of service has led both my boyfriend and I to decide that eating at Potager was a one time thing......

• Pros: Ambience Food people Watching
• Cons: Service.... Service and ummm Service

Good unique menu, great atmoshpere

by moore5399

Ive read a lot of the bad reviews but ive been there twice and had a very positive experience. The dishes offered are unique and fresh. Atmosphere was great and the service was very good. The price is also reasonable for a restaurant of this quality. Good wine selection. Great patio. Good food for a reasonable price!

• Pros: Ambience, food, and service
• Cons: dont take reservations

This place is the best restaurant in Denver. I have never had anything that was not to die for. All of the staff is fantastic and the backyard patio is beautiful.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: No complaints from me:)

Poor planning and rude service

by weinbera

I went there for one of my kid's birthday. More than half of the menu was not available. The kids being settled in their chairs, sipping their iced tea was the only reason that kept from leaving when the waiter disclosed that, baiscally, they had run out of food. He offered pizza! So if you like pizza and an ultra-super rude hostess, be Potager's guest!
