Super disappointed with this Cortado. This is how it came out, no foam and spilled.

Went for Sunday brunch, and the vibe in there was very negative. None of the staff smiled. Everybody seemed stressed. Something must be going on behind the scenes because they have an entire staff that looks like they’re not having fun and do not even smile or make casual banter with their customers. Beautiful space and the food was good. Work on employee morale and employee interaction with customers.

Exquisite fresh, simple breakfast plates, great pastries, great location in DTC and perfect service. Pastries are top of the line as well. Great tea, great custom plates for kids.

Okay so it was really loud for lunch which the only thing the restaurant could do is add more noise dampening stuff which is costly so doubt will change. But the real problem was the chicken was so dry in the Caesar salad and the crêpe. The French onion soup was amazing.

I have visited Le Central DTC several times and find it exceptional, always. With an incoming snow storm, I was able to easily switch my reservation with help from the staff. Once we arrived, Tara was working the bar and the dining room. She did so adeptly. Our service was fantastic, without an empty glass or momentary lack of options for next course. We had the curry cauliflower and salmon, both of which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. As usual, a wonderful dining experience!

Cozy unexpected pleasure in south Denver great easy to access with plenty of parking and a little window shopping along the way. Wonderful experience the service, the pace, the cocktails. The meal was delicious, onion soup and a crepe. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone! Would also recommend reservation to be on the safe side.

Went for late lunch, it was pretty quiet. Good menu, a little fancy, nice people. Probably a very different evening vibe would be my guess. If you’re reading this far in the reviews, just go and check it out for yourself. I ate the poutine before photographing it, it was outstanding.

The food was delicious and had a nice presentation. The server was good, but she seemed to be agitated with anything that required her to pause at our table for an extra minute. Had to ask repeatedly for just a little bit of coffee to be added to my cappuccino. in the past, the servers were more friendly and offered coffee touchup without having to be asked. Not a big deal just a noticeable difference. The noise volume is always loud. Location could really benefit from improvements on the acoustics. Bought a chocolate croissant to go. Sliced it to share with my partner, i could barely detect the chocolate.
Excellent service from wait staff. I have my tried and true dishes (Croque Madam, poulet pistou crêpe and the burger) but went for a new dish - Chicken Yassa - lightly breaded fried chicken with a savory spicy relish. Very tasty! French fries very pedestrian and not worth the calories so will order salad next time.

We ordered the most expensive item on the menu, steak frites, and were expecting a treat commensurate with its price. Unfortunately the dish was schmeh - the steak not particularly tender, the sauces were bland. The meat was cooked to our specifications and the truffle frites were very good, the plain frites were not. If you go, don't order the steak frites. Hopefully other offerings are more satisfying and a better value. We won't be going back to find out - there are just too many other establishments to try.
The service during brunch is always perfect. Food was delicious as always. Such a cute place; it was nice to introduce some friends to it. Thought it was a perfect ladies brunch restaurant.

So understaffed. I felt sorry for the bartender, but also was disappointed that my husband and I decided to come here for our date night. Guests were all visibly irritated. Would not come back.

The food was phenomenal as usual. Service was rather a challenge, but our server was courteous and did the best he could. The space still strikes us as a bit cramped, and the front door opening blasts us with cold air too often. However, we will be back of course.

Had a wonderful date night with the wife. We loved the setting and decor, the food was delicious - spent some time figuring out what a baobob is. Enjoyed the bouillabaisse, with every piece of seafood perfectly cooked. I liked the slightly larger ramekin for the green brulee, too! We really enjoyed having Shea as our waitress, very funny, personable and pragmatic. We've told friends and family to show up and ask for her. Thanks for a great evening.

This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants in Denver. Certainly, the food is the reason to go! Everything is delicious and interesting, with carefully curated and often house-made ingredients. The comfortable and upscale atmosphere, along with the very hospitable staff, will be the reason that you stay and enjoy yourself. Brunch, lunch, dinner its all good!
