CITY O' CITY REVIEWS

City O' City is a Capitol Hill staple and an absolute must-visit! From their incredible coffee and cocktails to their delicious appetizers and mains, everything here shines. Their new vegan ramen is an absolute standout—it features a flavorful shiitake-miso broth, lion’s mane katsu, bok choy, cabbage, radish, carrots, scallions, fresno peppers, and sesame seeds. Every bite is a delight! The vibe here is fantastic, and it's clear why City O' City remains a beloved neighborhood favorite. Highly recommend stopping by.

City O’ City has a great vibe with cute decor and a welcoming atmosphere. I visited on a Friday early afternoon, and the service was impressively quick. The food was tasty, though my breakfast dish had more potatoes than I would have preferred. I’m grateful that they have dairy options for people who prefer that. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’d definitely visit again to try other menu items.

5 out 5. Everything was delicious, delivered on time, amazing service. If you’re looking for a vegan place. This is a great option! Prices are a little high, but it’s worth it. You can also enjoy the happy hour specials if that’s an option for you.

WATERCOURSE FOODS REVIEWS

One of our favorite restaurants in the Denver area! Every menu item we've tried has been absolutely delicious (and this is coming from a non-vegan picky eater), but one of the best dishes we've tried so far has been the buffalo cauliflower wings. I have no idea how they manage to get them so crispy - these were easily some of the best, crispiest buffalo wings I've ever had. The breakfast sandwich is a classic choice and the breakfast potatoes are some of the best I've had (again, so so crispy). The service is always great, too. HIGHLY recommend Watercourse.

We had a lovely brunch here this morning, highlights of the menu include the potatoes, black pepper aïoli, tofu scramble, biscuits & gravy. Everything we had was super yummy, our server was fantastic & the place has a nice vibe. Definitely coming back.

Watercourse Foods has always been a fantastic spot with great food and excellent service. While I’ve been a fan of their dine-in experience over the years, today I was especially impressed by their takeout service. I had ordered far in advance but accidentally set the wrong pickup time. When I arrived, the staff went above and beyond, they kindly ensured it was fresh and ready to enjoy. Their thoughtfulness and attention didn’t go unnoticed. I truly appreciated the outstanding service. Highly recommend.

BANG UP TO THE ELEPHANT! REVIEWS

I recommend the "Bake & Channa" and the Rice Bowl. Beautiful place with great food. Everything is nicely seasoned and the descriptions of the menu items were accurate. Our server was nice and aware of when we needed something. Great place to take photos and the booths are spacious. I didn't really like the cauliflower wings because I found them undercooked but that is probably just personal preference.

Such a cool atmosphere. Had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good. Ended up choosing the dirty banana, plantains, doubles, potato and plantain mofongo, and coconut curry. The doubles and mofongo are must tries.

I finally made it here after hearing about it for a couple years! As soon as I walked in I was really impressed by the decor and beautiful atmosphere. The server was very friendly as well as the owner, who took the time to stop at our table and check in on us. We only tried a couple appetizers and drinks but they were all delicious! I definitely hope to make it back sooner than later to try more of the food.
