The Mac and cheese, mashed and lamb were delicious! The cobbler dessert was the best I’ve ever had.

Without a doubt one of the best reataurants in town. Every dish was fantastic, service was phenomenal, and even ordering generously our bill didn't break the bank. Looking forward my next

The food here is really good! It is a very small place and because of that they will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. On the pricey side, but it's worth it, in my opinion. Parking can be difficult it is a busy area.

Took a couple friends from detroit on a saturday night at 8:30pm and waited 10 minutes for a table. Everybody loved the food and environment. Hip hop playlist was amazing and music level was perfect.

Fantastic menu. All the dishes were spectacular. Best advice is to ask your server for suggestions. They have ideas! We also came with someone with Celiac and they were more than accommodating which was greatly appreciated.

I have lived in Denver for 4 years now and am consistently shocked by how disappointing the food scene is here. However, my experience last night at Work and Class may just take the cake for most disappointing culinary experience during my time on the front range. So much so actually that it’s inspired me to write my first ever google review. My party of two showed up at about 7:15 and got our name on the list (they don’t take reservations which is fine but worth noting I guess). When we arrived the place was already bumping and I have to admit, I was starting to get a little excited about the meal; I’d seen this place on just about every “top 10 restaurants in Denver” style list. Well dear reader, fear not, that excitement quickly diminished once we were finally sat. The menu itself is, in classic Denver style, essentially what all menus in Brooklyn looked like in the year 2010: illustrations of power tools above punny descriptions of meat heavy dishes - “heckin doggo” energy. In all honestly though, the menu is a little confusing. It’s sort of build your own style with several meat options and a bunch of sides, but then there are also appetizers that seem basically identical to the side options but just more expensive…? We ended up getting the one appetizer that seemed slightly different, two meats and two sides. The appetizer was a salad that I am 100% certain was boxed spinach from Safeway, essentially no dressing and 4 pieces of fried broccoli. The two meats were short rib and chicken. The short rib was maybe the most dry I’ve ever had and the chicken was completely flavorless. On the opposite end of the spectrum, one of our sides was sweet potato fries, which seem to have been dipped, dunked and smothered in smoked paprika. The other side was mac n cheese which was good but c’mon it’s literally mac n cheese. Now, I know this is a RiNo restaurant so obviously it’s going to be loud and expensive, but if you’re going to have loud music why would you chose what sounded like a 2014 EDM remix of a mariachi band? It just doesn’t make sense? The total was like $110, which again, I know that’s just what it costs to eat at that kind of spot right now, but regardless of the state of the economy, charging over $100 for that experience is nothing short of an unconscionable act of fraud. I guess the main reason I’m writing this is because every body else in the restaurant seemed to be 100% pleased with the experience, and I believe that is only because they do not know how bad it is. Do not go here! Go somewhere on Federal, or buy a cook book! Or travel to any major metropolitan area other than Denver, CO and go to a similar style restaurant and see how much better it can be! This was just abysmal

12/10 stars. Surprising delicious is the jalapeño cornbread. All meats and sides rule

Love the decor and the atmosphere on a Saturday evening is great. Went here with my life partner and we had a great time. Excellent service and the trout is superb. 5 stars all around!

Service was good, our waiter was attentive and got our orders in on time and had no issue with any mods made to food. His presence was appreciated.However, with the name such as “work and class” and having power tools as part of your logo on the menu, you are no where near working class prices. This restaurant was absurdly expensive for food with the equivalence to a Joe’s Crab Shack, cheddars, or Outback. Even with a happy hour discount, their espresso martini was still $12, which was also one of the worst espresso martinis I have had. So bad, I drank half and left it there. The Mac and cheese was also not terrible but nothing remarkable. On top of that, their empanadas and smoked sauce was nothing spectacular too. I left highly disappointed in the food and prices.

Unique menu options for a bar, I recommend the fried chicken and colorado lamb, it's kind of close quarters but good place for tasty food and conversation.

Really good restaraunt. The Mac n cheese along with the shrimp grits are exceptional. The lamb and fried trout are very nice, although lacking enough spices and flavoring. But perfectly cooked. Dessert is also
