I’ve been here a number of times when it was the District. When it was the District, We had awesome service and the bottomless mimosas were truly bottomless. Servers would walk around constantly filling your drinks with champagne. Unfortunately now that it’s 1908, I went for brunch again and our server was no where to be seen for 20 minutes upon sitting down. We actually had to grab the hostess to see what’s up. We get bottomless and our server came around maybe twice? One of my biggest pet peeves is when a server drops a check off without us asking if we wanted anything else. She just plopped it down and said we had 10 more minutes until we had to leave. When going out to eat, it’s supposed to be an enjoyable experience and relaxing. And after we got the check, it felt like we were being rushed to finish our food and leave. Having an hour and a half to eat/drink is a policy I don’t understand. Working in retail and the service industry, it’s something I would never do to my guest who are spending money.Edit: No we didn’t, but to be honest your answer seems to confirm that maybe management is why the service isn’t the greatest.

It is much cuter and more quaint than it appears from the street. It started as a bank building many decades ago. There is an old vault still in the wall at the front. Arrive around 10:00 on the weekends since it seems to get busy after that. Service was very good today. We ordered a Bloody Mary and coffee. Both good. We didn't try the bottomless options this time but coffee was refilled. Kiki took good care of us. We ordered the waffle sliders with substitutions of sweet potato fries, and French toast with an extra order of regular fries. All excellent! It isn't cheap here, but it isn't unreasonably expensive either. Around the norm for a Denver brunch place in terms of pricing. Food is great. Come have a brunch here on the weekend, or any other day of the week!!

Celebrated my birthday brunch here, we had a party of 12!! Our server Kiki was amazing! Nothing but good vibes! So excited to hear that they’re bringing the Brussel sprouts back ! We all loved the juice station they had! We will definitely be back.

Poor service and the restaurant was only half full. Didn’t come around to refill bottomless mimosas very often so not a good value. Food for 2 of the group came out without silverware and they didn’t come back with the other orders for the others in the group for over 10 minutes so food for the first two got cold. Had to run around to find someone to give us silverware. Waters around the table went empty.

I and a group of friends decided to visit 1908 this afternoon for a late brunch/lunch experience, and I must say, it was just okay.Service started off slow, which we initially understood as our server had just handled a large party right before us. However, even when the restaurant became relatively empty, our service didn't improve. We had to request paper menus twice and ended up fetching them ourselves. It took nearly 30 minutes to get our drink orders, and unfortunately, I never received my second one.One of our friends was 45 minutes late (who wasn't planning to eat with us) and we had just barely ordered before he arrived. As for the food, it left much to be desired. It felt quite overpriced, especially when I paid $23 for an avocado Chile bowl that didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of taste. It was bland. The loaded tots I got were cold and soggy. The decor and ambiance didn't leave a lasting impression, and parking in the area was a hassle.All in all, I don't see myself returning to 1908 or recommending it to others.

I used to go to this restaurant when it was the District but then they got rid of the bottomless, mimosas and bloody Mary bar and changed the menu so I stopped going there. I stopped by on a whim, the other day, and the bloody Mary and mimosa bottomless is back as well as their wings, which are better than ever…. now if they would just bring back the smoking of the Wings!!!

I couldn’t give a higher rating, came from out of town, these people treated us like family and served to my recollection the best possible food I have ever had. 10 out of 10 went two days in a row because we knew we weren’t going to get anything better. If you are looking for day or dinner or breaks or brunch just go here, you’ll end up going back, possibly back same day.

This place is the tits. Delicious food, an amazing 'make your own drink' bar, and fabulous staff. They seemed to be a bit understaffed both times we visited, but the incredible people who were there busted their butts to do a great job! Super impressed.

This is the best place for brunch in the city. Kiki is the best waitress there but all of the servers/staff are stellar. Great price and greater food ?

Had a party of 3 and were there for almost 2 hours. Hardly saw our waitress, apps didn’t come out until after our food arrived, took at least 30 minutes to get drinks. Wanted to order another drink and our waitress brought us back the same drinks we ordered first without asking what we wanted and then had the drink we didn’t order on our check, which she ended up taking off. Food was good but would not come back due to poor service

Food was amazing, or at least the dish I ordered was (chillequias)! Loved that there are many options for juice types for bottomless mimosa. I didn’t like that the drinks were like buffet style but the options were nice my meal and bottomless mimosas came to $42 before tip so a bit pricey. Our waitress was wonderful and the girl she was training was also awesome. We had a group of six ladies come for brunch, and all of us were freezing ? the air conditioning was working too well? Patio was nice and the fish were super cool. The interior of the restaurant was okay and patio was nice but small. Will be back sometime!

1st time going but I loved it! I was surprised how good the food was and loved the bottomless drink options. Shout out to Ginger (I'm 90% sure that's her name), one of the best bartenders I've seen! Give that woman a raiseVegetarian options: Recently trying a vegetarian diet and there are so many options! Everything vegetarian-safe is labeled on the menu, and I had some fried potato balls there were delicious! The avocado/egg tacos with vegan green-chile was amazing!
