major tom 2845 Larimer Street, Denver, CO 80205

"In all of my travels I have rarely (if ever) experienced such a perfect marriage of atmosphere and excellence of flavor in a restaurant. Major Tom just GETS IT. An exceptional dining experience cannot exist without both, and this place truly is exceptional. I've actually been kind of at a loss to properly describe my dinner here. Its like they're pumping magic pixie dust through the vents, because the vibe truly is ethereal. It honestly just felt so good from the second I walked through the door. Service from everyone was flawlessly attentive and effortlessly kind. I love a place where you can see the passion on the faces of all the staff. They know that they are part of something special, and they seem genuinely excited to share it with you. This environment is expertly accompanied by a shared dining experience. They offer small plates meant to be enjoyed as a collective, but not in the pretentious hipster style tapas sort of way. Indeed nothing is pretentious at all here, and everything is shockingly approachable for food cooked with this much expertise. The flavors are surprising but deliberate, unique yet still welcoming. They intrinsically knew that part of what would make this adventure so magnificent is being able to experience each dish together, and to be able to talk about whatever the heck just happened in your mouth and how much you can't wait to see what comes next. Major Tom is the best meal I've ever eaten in Denver. To top it off, it's also one of the best dining experiences I've ever had the honor to be a part of. My hope is that their starship is clearly visible in the night sky for years to come."

"This place is absolutely perfect. From the moment you walk on the campus it shares with sister restaurant Beckon the atmosphere begins to change from the laidback rush of Larimer street, to the chill vibes the path that leads you to the entrence helps you achieve. The place is not large by any means. I’m sure the patio will increase the number of tables but it was chilly the night we visited so only indoor dinning was available. From the moment we sat down our server took care of us, Offering suggestions very knowledgeable about honestly everything. We ordered all but 3 things in the menu and will definitely be back to order the others. Stop reading this review and just make a reservation this place is top notch—not for kids"

"We went last night for my birthday. The restaurant is beautiful. The service was outstanding and the food was exceptional. We already love Beckon — the food at Major Tom is just as high quality. Highly recommend."

"Major Tom is outstanding. Outstanding. The service is warm, friendly, helpful, and intuitive. Dishes we ordered: New Caledonia prawns, Rosemary babka, beets and feta, King salmon, cauliflower, cream puff, chickpea panisse. This was easily the best cocktail prawn dish I've ever had. Perfect texture. The babka is this ridiculous blend of a crunchy exterior, moist interior, and air-light cloudiness like a croissant. Beets and feta with sunchoke chips were perfectly prepared, savory, almost could be a main dish it's so balanced. The chickpea panisse is intensely smooth, with a texture almost akin to soft cheese. And that cream puff is definitely categorized under sublime, with the whipped cream interior popping when paired with the puff shell. 6 stars. Oh and the music selection on tap is great."

"New favorite date night spot! Such a cute place, with absolutely top-notch service from the servers and sommelier. Loved the food and wine -- although if you're picky, be prepared that the menu is a little limited (for example, the main entree when we went was the pork chop, and there was one red wine by the glass). I love how fresh and seasonal it is, though -- and my husband and I were happy to share the oysters, chickpea panisse, prawns, heirloom tomato salad, tartar, and pork chop. They also have the most amazing and extensive dessert wine menu I've ever seen (shared with Beckon next door) -- so you can even try something as cool as a 1945 Malvazia from Madeira."
