    3 of us liked our food. The one who had fried chicken did not. Crispy salmon was great. Homemade pasta was also wonderful. The fried chicken was tough. Too overcooked. Not juicy and did not pull off the bone well.

    We had a reservation, but they tried to seat us at a table right next to the main door on a cold night. We asked to be seated instead in the bar area. My husband ordered fried chicken and it came out cool, not hot. At the table next to us, the diner was loud and dropping the F bomb every other sentence, along with other inappropriate language. I understand this was not the restaurant’s fault, but it was annoying.

    What a find! We went to Local Jones on the first night of Denver’s restaurant week last night. I’ve heard about this place, and finally got there! It is inside what seems to be the lobby of a nice hotel, so had this upscale lively bar kind of vibe. But don’t be fooled. The many and food preparation is top notch! Don’t miss the fried Brussels sprouts! I’m not kidding! This was a fantastic way to kick off restaurant week; setting the bar high for our five other upcoming reservations.

    A friends tradition of getting together for Valentine’s Day had to postponed until president’s day. This is a tradition going back at least 20 years. Local Jones was selected for its location, menu, and our desire for a place none of us had been. Plus fried chicken was on offer. The food was wonderful. We had and shared of course the fried chicken, the crispy salmon which by the way was cooked to perfection, the short ribs, the bucatini with shrimp and the mushroom and hatch chili casarecce, plus the brussel sprouts and the broccoli and mushroom gratin. For desert we enjoyed the orange creamsicle parfait and the bombe. Again everything was wonderful especially the fried chicken. The parfait was really a treat but the bombe seemed to have been in freezer for a length of time, was rock hard and had little pizazz. And finally the service was lack luster. The meal service was as jumbled up as could be and we had fun shuffling the plates so everyone got their order. And we received little attention when we wanted to order desert and receive the check. Plus the check contained three mysterious charges not unusual for post COVID times marked as CIF, CSC and CCR. Again all was thoroughly enjoyed with a couple of small comments.

    We loved our experience at Local Jones! We had the most delicious oysters, beet hummus, steak & frites, salmon, Mac and cheese, and espresso martinis and a chocolate chip cookie with sea salt for dessert. Everything was outstanding!! Our service was just ok.. I think our waitress had a few larger parties and was probably a bit overwhelmed. But food and drinks are worth going back for and I’m sure our service will improve. It wasn’t bad service it just wasn’t the best. But management did comp our hummus/ it was a gift from the kitchen since we had to wait a bit for our cocktails. It was a nice touch and we did feel appreciated. Will definitely go back! Super cute interior decor and would be good for any adult occasion. Date night, friend get together, birthday dinner, business dinner. I wouldn’t recommend for children.

    Overall the food was good, but the service was slow, and they were uneducated about their menu and liquor/wine/beer list. We felt rushed throughout the entire meal as the server kept coming back, pushing for us to order when we had just received our drinks, she was already asking about dinner items. It’s incredibly loud inside of the restaurant, and they put us in a table way back in the corner. The overall amount that you pay for dinner was outrageous I would definitely not go back.

    Went to Local Jones from brunch & had a great experience! The food was tasty - recommend the cinnamon roll to share as a breakfast appetizer or just for yourself! The staff was also extremely friendly & made sure our experience was great! Highly recommend for brunch but have also heard the rest of their menu is great!

    The food was phenomenal, but the service was severely lacking. I’m sure they were just understaffed, but they should have been more prepared for Valentine’s Day. It took 15 minutes to be greeted by our server and 30 minutes to get our drinks. We weren’t able to order dinner until 45 minutes into our reservation and we had a late reservation of 8 pm. Anything we needed we had to find our server and flag him down. Overall it was a good experience but the service was poor.

    The food was incredible, but the service was unfortunately lackluster. Super slow service and the waiter forgot our appetizer. They didn’t check on us to order more drinks. Also, you sit about 1 foot away from the table next to you, and our table wobbled the whole time.

    We dined for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Upon arriving we asked to change our table as we did not want to be seated in the busy walk way next to the bar; we asked to be seated on the couches but was not accommodated. The dinner was good despite 1 - we were only allowed one appetiser per table - which in theory is fine but the portion received was very small (and came in 3s for 2 people?). 2 - they were out of the basked Alaska cake, but substituted for a different dessert. Also very small portion. Left a bit hungry. Services was good.

    Overall we thought it was good. Food was tasty except for the heart-filled Valentine's day dessert, that was a huge bust. Overall the Valentine's day special was way too pricey for what we got. We're not dying to go back, but we probably will eventually to try what's on the regular menu.

    I am so happy with Local Jones! I told them it was a special occasion with in-laws visiting and they sat us at the most gorgeous table. The restaurant ambiance was divine! The food, drinks, and staff were lovely. Handmade pastas and the cookie for dessert were my favorites, and the family was pleased. Will definitely be coming back!

    This was the first time at this restaurant for my husband and me. It was a cold snowy evening so not too crowded. We loved the ambience of the place and that they didn’t have the music cranked up so loud that we couldn’t hear each other. It was good music too. They have a really nice bar and we could see coming to hang out there for a drink some time. The drinks were pretty pricy, but I guess that’s the way it is now. The food was good and very hot when it was served to us. The service was great. Everyone we encountered was so nice. We will be coming back.
