Brasserie Felix - Denver

I had dinner over the weekend with some friends, and I was thoroughly impressed by this newly opened restaurant, just five weeks old. Chef Jeff Cruise has crafted a classic French bistro menu that's excellent in both flavor and affordability. I enjoyed a perfectly cooked Steak Frites, while the table also had enticing Duck Breasts, Grilled Alaskan Salmon, and Seafood Risotto. The moules (mussels) are available in half or full pound portions, with a choice of three different sauces. They also offer delightful charcuterie and cheese plates. The ambiance is open and inviting, lacking the pretentiousness often associated with French cuisine. The owner was present, actively helping to clear tables and engaging with guests. According to the staff, they offer bottomless mimosas and bellinis for Sunday brunch and are planning to introduce wine flights at the bar. I will definitely be returning!

We dined with another couple, and everyone was delighted with the experience. We all plan to return. The mussels were just as outstanding as those in Paris, and I'm eager to explore more of my French favorites. The prices were reasonable, and the service was excellent. The only minor disappointment was the escargot.
