We arrived and hadn't realized it was attached to a hotel. They tried to seat us at couches, but they were too low (table at our chins). But they were very gracious about finding us a real table. Food was excellent.

Nada made wonderful suggestions and allowed us to sample draft beers to make a perfect choice! And not rushed but she asked early on if we had to get to theatre to make sure we could if needed!
Fabulous food and service. Went there before the ballet on a Saturday afternoon. Had the salmon which was sweet and spicy. Perfect combination. Just the right amount of food. Service was so quick that we had time to take a walk around downtown before the performance. Would definitely go again

My daughter used Google maps to find this restaurant... the only thing I would add is that it is actually located in the Hilton.
Delicious food and incredible service. Best Cobb salad I’ve ever had! Unique flavors using fresh ingredients.

Wanted to love this place and was excited to try with my friends for restaurant week but had an awful experience. Service was slow, steak was served rare when ordered medium, we finally had to flag someone down to get dessert & our check. Cherry on top was after having waited 20 minutes for a box a manager takes my bison prime rib (that I had taken 4 bites of) and tossed it without asking and then argued with me about how much steak had been left on my plate. Finally came back with a different to-go box of meat (not my own leftovers). The service and order error I would have let slide but the rude manager was unacceptable to me and I will not be back.

Came for Denver Restaurant Week and overall it was a good experience. Cute atmosphere and ambiance, food was pretty good but over priced for the portions you get. 6.8/10 most likely wouldn't eat here again, you could very easily go to another high end restaurant and have a much more worth it experience. Side note, the dessert was truly incredible!

It was restaurant week, so maybe they were understaffed, but it wasn't overly crowded. We didn't get our first drink delivered until 30 minutes after sitting. Partly because of not taking the order and then fulfilling order was slow. Painful. Some managers delivered our food, but otherwise they weren't seen. Seemed weird when the server was obviously struggling. She was nice, but not very effective. Food was decent. The Gotham Greens salad and Bison Prime Rib being the best two items. Drinks are pricey... $12 for IPA. Not eager to return any time soon, unfortunately.

We were here for dinner during restaurant week. The menu was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meals. We were deliciously surprised by the lemon pearls, the cherry/white chocolate sauce with the lamb shank and presentation of the black forest cake. We shared a bottle of Blue Bear Red Blend which was a fun find across from the Big Blue Bear. We were given a complimentary cheese board which was a nice touch. Service was timely and friendly. We had tickets to the theater and felt a little rushed since dinner service doesn't start until 5:30pm.

The dining experience was lovely overall. Food was presented nicely and our server was great. I was with three people and we all tried to order differently to try a variety of things. Overall, what I had was my favorite of each course - chicken and waffles, blackened bass and caramel apple cheesecake. All delicious and in reasonable individual portions for Restaurant Week.
Really excited to try this place but they were out of both the bison prime rib and cherry braised lamb shank which were my primary reasons for choosing Former Saint for Restaurant Week. Pretty disappointed, I got the blackened bass instead which was good but the Carmel apple cheesecake ended up being the tastiest. The drinks were watered down and our server disappeared for 20 minutes.

We tried Former Saint because it was convenient to the DCPA where we were attending a performance. It is in a spacious and beautiful setting in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency. Our server, Mia, was delightful and very accommodating when we asked to split an entree. The food was delicious as well! It couldn't have been a happier experience, and we'll return; we'll probably sit at a table rather than the couches by the window...it was a challenging reach.

We had Nada as our server and she made the entire evening so enjoyable and really helped with recommendations. One of the most personable dining experiences thanks to her.

Unfortunately the burger was very disappointing. Soggy bun, white ends of icebergs lettuce, and the burger had no flavor.
