Hearth & Dram

If only a review could truly encapsulate the true depth of my experience here.... I’d read a few reviews, I’d even stumbled across a mention of it in Westword however nothing prepared me for what I would encounter on a Sunday afternoon. A friend of mine had asked me if I wanted to hang out, it was Sunday and the Broncos were playing so of course I wanted to hang out, no cheering for you Donkeys! She of course, had me pick out the place that would not only have decent food, but she wanted decent drinks. I was late, Bronco traffic, but was immediately met with a smile and a hug from my friend of course! Parker would be our waiter, however he wouldn’t be the only friendly face to offer assistance with any questions that we had about the menu. Parker immediately filled my glass with water and asked if I was interested in one of their whiskey selections they were known for. I passed on the alcohol today, my companion would be the one to try them today, I was here for the food! We came during the transition hour however it didn’t matter, because the the menu was still impressive for just “provisions.” We could order whatever drinks we wanted but the menu was selected for happy hour. It was so hard to decide! I think I might have even mentioned to Parker that I wanted one of everything! He laughed and then told us what was good and what he liked and enjoyed. He went to grab a beer for my friend so while perusing the menu, another waitress walked by and asked if I had a question. She was so friendly and I wish I had gotten her name but because of her, I now want brisket on ALL of my patty melts! She was very helpful having had a wealth of knowledge in regards to how the food was prepared and what items were even made in house like the bologna! We decided on the brisket patty melt. The idea is ingenious and this chef deserves four Michelin stars because that whole patty melt dissolved like sugar glaze upon hitting my tastebuds. I’ll never look at patty melts or brisket the same for that matter. This took it up a whole Top Chef level notch. We also decided on the toast with figs and a cheese sauce that not only complimented the figs but the fresh basil that was placed so carefully on top. The bread was rustic, crunchy and a bit burnt in all the right places. I wanted to try more but I had a flag football game that I had to make that Parker made sure that I wouldn’t be late too. I want so desperately to come back for brunch, lunch, and the dinner menu! My companion was impressed with the drink selection and I was beyond amazed that many of the items were crafted in-house. I look forward to bringing friends when they are visiting in town as I hope they fall in love with Parker the way that I did. Like I mentioned before, a review simply does not do this place any kind of justice whatsoever!

The service here was great and the staff was very patient with our group 👍. The food was good too. We ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked to medium, just like we asked. Overall atmosphere was very inviting and cozy from beginning to end.

What a beautiful space complimented by the cool wood rotunda that attaches the restaurant to Hotel Indigo. The manager, Ben Roper, and staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Even had a chance to meet Chef Jeffrey Wall who has put together an amazing menu! The wood fired oven that is visible to all is amazeballs & a highlight of their dish preparation. Here's what we tried: Grilled Bologna & Cheese - don't judge - this thing was amazing and served on a homemade hawaiian roll. Super tasty & nothing like Oscar Meyer bologna :D Beef Tartare with toast - finely minced delish steak with mustard seeds and seasonings. Oh and that egg on top was divine & perfect. Crab Beignet - super tasty & fluffy with fun potato crispy on top. Smoked Brisket Patty Melt - super great taste - some of the meat had a little too much fat but overall it was great! Short Rib - my friend ordered this but I was too busy with the other dishes to try it and now i'm sad. I heard it was good :D Hen of the Woods - ohhh, this was amazeballs - the mushrooms were so tasty Sweet Corn & Beech Mushrooms - all I can say is, they had me at "smoked Lard" Loved the taste. Overall a great experience & loved the look of the restaurant, high ceilings, the bar area, etc. It gets a little loud during busy times so don't go with someone who is a low talker. ;)

Great new restaurant. I loved the trendy setting, the staff and the food. It is a bit pricey but so worth it. And you can't go wrong on a date night here with the great wine and whiskey lists. My hubby and I will be going back soon!

I loved how knowledgeable the staff was about their cocktails. I ordered the Going Down Proper with the chicken wings. The drink was amazing. I can't wait to try more.

checked out this restaurant for an early dinner. we made a reservation and though there were only two other tables sat, we were taken to a booth near the restrooms. the booth was very comfy, but we thought the seating was odd. the cocktail list was extensive - especially if you enjoy whisky. we had two gin cocktails (pictured) which were delicious. Service was prompt and very accommodating considering half of the party has food allergies. The meat and cheese selection is a very nice way to try a number of interesting charcuterie - these were enjoyable. I will say that both of the entrees ordered were bland - a fish dish and a pasta, chosen after some other items were not available. I'd give the restaurant another chance on food because the service experience was positive.
