Somebody People

"I went here with family today for Sunday Supper to celebrate a birthday. Wes was our server, he was absolutely amazing! The best I've experienced in a long, long time. He made sure to check in with us between each course, and multiple times during the courses as well to fill our water glasses and offer drink refills. Wes took the time to joke and talk with us, and when I looked around, he was doing the same with his other tables as well. He provided amazing customer service, and is a big reason that we will be back. At one point, I was coming back from the restroom, and a different server actually pulled my chair out for me to sot down! I just can't say enough nice thing about the staff here. It was really refreshing. The food was great as well! My family and I had only positive things to say about all the dishes, we finished everything! My favorite was the strawberry rhubarb biscuit at the end."

"The concept maybe was great, but execution failed. And it failed big time. It seems like a few different people dropped the ideas to the pot, stir, and they brought a surprise. Ta-da. Unfortunately, the idea of Farm to table has to be thought through. Mostly when you claim all vegetarian menus. Food with fancy descriptions doesn't justify the upscale prices. Food was mediocre, after all. Mushroom ragu, sour with no earthy flavor. Wierd aftertaste. Braised cabbage was ok. But I can make it at home easily. Cocktails were decent but not wow factor. To our surprise, around 7 pm, lights were dimmed, and music was louder like in the club, not the restaurant. I think it was prelde to what came next. The big surprise comes with the bill.. 21% service charge, no matter how many people..one, or two, or 5. And tax was added after this mandatory tip. What the fork? That's a major rip-off. After my question about that, my bill was adjusted. Meaning, service charge was removed, and my tax was added before the tip.. Just a friendly reminder for management: Tips, is To ensure proper service. And in this country should be voluntary, not mandatory.. Even tho our server was great (we sat at the bar, so no brainer) and cocktails were ok, we will not come back. There are plenty places, that really care about their guests."

"Somebody People is electric; as much an experience as a restaurant. The space invites you in with thoughtful decor, soft lighting and neon undertones, a wait staff that emulates cool, and a tight space designed you draw you in and make you feel a part of it. Their tasting menu is essential and worth a visit time and time again as each visit features a new menu that is seasonal, creative, and educational. The wait staff perfectly times courses, which come with a list of ingredients that tell a story and raise questions that can only be answered by taking a bite. The food is a shared experience, not only with those you’re dining with but those around you; I look forward to the dessert served to the table next to me and envious of the couple across the room experiencing the first bite of the soup I just scraped my bowl clean of. The food is delicious and it’s all bolstered by a mission that feels uniquely Denver: sustainable, local, accommodating, and vegetable-forward. You really have to try it for yourself to understand the hype (just make sure you get a reservation in advance!)"

"This place really reminds me of Australia. They have a fully vegan menu, everything is locally sourced, and they change their menu seasonally. I'm obsessed with their sparkling water that they hooked up on tap by themselves, the bubbles are smaller and smoother than topo chico but I won't spend this whole review talking about it. Their roasted cabbage is delicious. Parking is sparse. Loud, young, fun atmosphere with really close tables, but it's loud enough inside that you somehow don't hear the neighboring table's conversation. Great service. They have a "feed me" option of a multiple course meal like omakase that will definitely fill you up. These pictures were all a part of it excluding 2 other pasta dishes if I remember correctly."

"Quite a letdown given the hype. This is on a desolate block of South Broadway in a nondescript building. Too many reflective surfaces. The sound levels are deafening. All tolerable if the food was good, but it really wasn’t. It’s at the level of your inventive 20-something college roommate. The first dish is pretty good (but not great). But then comes course after course of identical tasting food. Service was spotty (though the host was on top of it. Well done). Brightest points were the cocktails. But even then, not worth your time."
