Tables

Aside for the unusually slippery floors, the food at Tables was delicious and worthy of 5280's pick as one of the Top restaurants in Denver. The menu caters to all palates and groups as there was a mixture of couples and families all happily enjoying the season's freshest local ingredients. I ordered medium rare colorado lamb loin served over grilled ciabatta, with almond pesto, manchego, fava beans, lamb jus and WAY TOO much bacon. Normally bacon is used to enhance the flavor profile but in this case there were 3 large strips of bacon..... Aside from the bacon, it was fantastic, not too gamey and grilled to a perfect medium rare. Jess ordered the pan seared scallops with basil mint risotto, mushrooms and arugula, the scallops were perfect and was a nice complement to the risotto.

The dessert....WOW. Normally not a fan of marshmallows, but the double chocolate smores with graham cracker, chocolate cake and sauce was blanketed with housemade marshmallow that was flamed with a nice char.....it was amazing, way too big for one person

Plate score:9
