Woodie Fisher Kitchen + Bar

Do not ever judge a book by its cover!! I had thought this restaurant was a Dalmation dog loving spot based off the image when we first walked 🚶‍♂️into the restaurant through the Hilton. Let's just say I was so far off from what we expected!! The white walls when leaving the Hilton changed to brick 🧱 and cherry oak type of wood when entering Woodie Fisher 🐕 The aroma was pleasant and VERY welcoming 🤗. One of the biggest 🏆traits I look for when going into a new restaurant is how patient the staff is with my very talkative children.  We were greeted with grace and the manager was SO friendly to my to my three children.  He helped to attach their coloring sheets to clip boards 📋and gave them a variety of colors 🎨 to use. He answered their questions and requests quickly and nicely.  He was well dressed with light tones which made him stand out as the manager.  Great job sir‼️. You sat us quickly,  and in an area which was not too far from the 🛣 street view or the bathrooms 🚻. Now let's get to Dallas ❤️. You sir, are an amazing server‼️ He is quick and very knowledgeable about the dishes 🍽 and what pairs well with which wines🍷 He knew about all the dishes and also paid attention to my dietary requests. I like to eat good and healthy while being able to have a glass of wine. Dallas had recommend the steak which from the pictures you can see was elegantly prepared. It was cooked so well and full of flavor. Not too tough and easy to chew. I even finished some of the steak later that night 🌙. A couple of tid bits about this location.  The chef makes their own jam 🍇  in house and is superb!!!!! Dallas,  the waiter gave me the background story about the chef but I will not steal his lime light, I think you need to go for yourself and hear about this lovely place on your own. A down side is they're are not many kid options here though except for a kids cheese pizza, or cheese burger. The fries,  were the BOMB though. The pizza 🍕 amazing! The burger 🍔 amazing.  The steak 😋 WOW and the steak sauce is made IN HOUSE! The menu changes seasonally so  Definitely check it out once every season to see the new options. So I want to go ahead and explain this structure a little more on this review  because I have to give the server and the manager credit for all of the information they gave to us regarding this location. It used to be a firehouse, the 1st one in Denver, matter of matter of fact 💯! The volunteer firefighter who retired was/is named Woody Fisher. I could be getting this story wrong which is why you definitely need to go check this place out... The brick in the old firehouse is now the interior of the restaurant. I do not want to spoil anymore anymore knowledge the staff shares with their customers. Woodie Fisher,  the hour and a 1/2 time ⏳️we spent at your restaurant is is one of the most amazing times I have ever had with my children. This was my 1st little Mini vacation that I took with my kids and your staff made it such a memorable experience that I will never forget this location, ever 😁! Dallas, you have won my heart over as one of the best servers, I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.Thank you all so much for the awesome experience and I give you a 5 out of 5, sir! The in house sauces, wine options,  cleanliness,  up beat staff and the incredible menu have won us over! I will return in the fall to check out the new menu.  Fantastic work, Woodie Fisher 🙌🌠.

Went for a late brunch and everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. It was one of those experiences that we were all snagging a bite of each other’s meal. The renovation and styling of the restaurant is very cool and we are excited to go back again when the large garage doors will be open with nicer weather. Looked like they had a good happy hour menu and drinks as well.

What a well balanced meal!! We started with the burrata toast, that came with basil and green pepper jam. It was so savory & wonderful.🌿 The rabbit meatballs were tender and soft. I had never had rabbit before, but was pleasantly surprised (it kinda just tasted like chicken). The gnocchis were pillowy and delicious. It was served with a white gravy that they poured on the dish at the table. I love that touch! This dish did have celery & celery leaves incorporated in it, which is easily one of my least favorite flavors. However, I was able to get past it and appreciate the rest of the quality flavors! Very yummy! 🥔🌱 My mom got the risotto dish. The morel mushrooms were to die for!😍

For my 29th birthday dinner, my sister and I decided to check out Woodie Fisher after hearing great things about the food and service from close friends. The team here rocked it out of the park! Shoutout to the manager Kevin for telling us 3-4 of the unique ingredients and descriptors for each of the dishes we ordered! He also made a point to welcome us, describe our wines to us, check up on us and offering gratitude while departing with botique matchbook The bartender Cyrus was also down to earth, fun and attentive to my dietary restrictons as well as my birthday! Being from NYC, it was a pleasent change to get real hospitality. Thanks to the ejWoodie Fisher team, and thanks again Kevin. We look forward to coming back. PS: Burrata Toast = out if this world!!! PS2: They also offer happy hour all day on Sundays.

The food is great, flavourful and portions are decent. We enjoyed all three course from our appetizers to dessert. I thought my beef tartare was citrusy and decent, it has kinda asian flavours? Nothing ground breaking though. I forgot to take photos for the main course but we had their steak dish and the fish. I enjoyed mine rare and it was decent but I was more impressed with my girlfriend's fish dish with crunchy fish skin which was absolutely tasty. At the end, we got a their most decadent coffee cake. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. I don't know if the food I had was the greatest but the full package deal of being in that restaurant and getting the food kinda makes the experience great. It's not that far from both Union Station and Coors Field. I would recommend checking this place out if you're in area.

Food, ambiance, and service were great! I'm told the menu will change soon, but the lamb and pork chop were on par for a place of this caliber. Grilled artichokes and blueberry cobbler were terrific as well (blueberries will coat your teeth and mouth, FYI). Fantastic drinks - Espresso Manhattan is my new favorite. Would give 4.5 stars for no happy hour, but they'll work out the kinks before the baseball fans go elsewhere.

WOW WOW WOW! Went here for my friends going away brunch today & I have nothing but great things to say: the service A+++, the food was perfection. The drinks were fun and also very beautiful. The entire establishment was gorgeous and love that they have a dog friendly patio. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Came here for brunch to celebrate my best friends engagement. We LOVED everything we got. Our server (I believe their name was River) was amazing. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. I don’t drink alcohol so I was so excited to see all the mocktails and alcohol free options. I got the lavender stick and it was perfect. Overall 10/10 will come back next time I’m in town

Delicious spot near Coor’s Field! Top 3 items ordered were the steak, brussel sprouts, and burrata toast! We also tried the chicken wings, pad thai, sishito peppers, buffalo chicken sandwich & a few cocktails. Everything was extremely tasty! They also have a nice happy hour from 5pm-6pm daily for appetizers, cocktails, and beers. Update: try the lamb kafta, salmon crudo, and negroni with a spherical ice cube. Trust me the ice cube is worth it - 100%! Highly recommend this spot!

We ate here for our anniversary recently. Our waitress Diamond was very attentive. Food was delicious as were the drinks. Loved that they have mocktails for those who don't drink alcohol as well. The decor was lovely and comfortable. It is on the pricier side but well worth it.

Woodie Fisher is not just a pretty face though the space - a restored version of one of Denver's original fire houses- really impresses. I love a variety of their small plates and the seasonal cocktails. Their house-made straciatella on house-baked bread is great. Brunch is supposed to be great, but haven't been yet.

I’ve been craving scallops, so when I saw them at Woodie Fisher, I knew I wanted to try! They were cooked perfectly! The waiter warned me the dish was fairly creamy with the potato risotto , but the sautéed veggies balanced it well. My husband got the New York strip medium rare-which was flavorful! And per the server’s suggestion- began with the burrata toast. I will say the non alcoholic mango Margarita was nothing special- so I’d pass on that next time.

Restaurant located in a repurposed Fire Station, industrial decor vibe. Sat at the bar started with the Happy Hour menu Tuna and was able to have very flavorful 1/2 Chicken dinner served early. Engaging new bartender, great service, enjoyed the experience. Accessible rest area shared with Hilton.

Incredible and wonderfully quiet place for a mid day luncheon. My waitress Liz was absolutely wonderful, attentive and had excellent suggestions for both food and wine. I particularly enjoyed my penne pasta with the added grilled salmon- easily the best salmon I've had in a year, and made it into my top list at number three for its absolutely succulent texture. (Sorry, no one can beat fresh caught salmon same day on the grill!) Hats off to your chef Chris, they are definitely due for a raise! I will most definitely be returning to sample more of your delicious fare and warm hospitality!

I really like this place for a decent meal that's not too noisy. The service is never WOW, but they have been consistently friendly, attentive and efficient. I've had the house burger, salmon salad, calamari, all great. Also cocktails are pretty good. Perfect for large groups or solo dining, for winter is cozy and in summer they have the beautiful outdoor terrace.

Woody Fisher is a stylish restaurant in Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, conveniently located near Coors Field and Union Station. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and the addition of the rooftop lounge makes it a standout option for dining or drinks in the area. The menu offers a good variety of food, wine, and beer, with pricing that feels reasonable for the neighborhood. Service and overall ambiance contribute to a positive dining experience. Overall, Woody Fisher provides a strong mix of atmosphere, menu selection, and value, making it a solid choice for those looking to enjoy a trendy spot in downtown Denver.

I will say the ambience is wonderful. It was a old firehouse converted into restaurant which was truly beautiful. The happy hour is great as well giving you some good options around the 13-15 dollar plate level. I went with four stars because of the fig pizza. The cheese was very overwhelming taking away from the taste and we didn't finish it. Burgers, steak, and chicken wings were on point.

This place is well decorated and has a cool vibe. The food was pretty good. We had the Red Snapper Aquachilis for an appetizer and found it overwhelming with lime juice. We also had the grilled Ceasar salad and it was tasty. The gnocchi was also tasty and scallops were cooked just right.

Like an upscale bar experience. Lovely interior with good food options and reasonable prices. A lovely food spot.

The space used to be a firehouse (Denver's first) which we didn't know.. it really is beautiful on the inside. We went in December but its got big rolling doors that they can open when it's nice out and I imagine summer before a ballgame would be the best time to go. Our server, Sarah, was a delight and we had a great conversation with her about many things and she was an excellent thoughtful waitress. The humungous light fixtures and super high ceiling made it very quiet in there.. we couldn't hear people talking anywhere and it was quite nice. The food is priced around what you would expect for a hotel restaurant.. all sides are a la carte. The breakfast burrito, while large, has nothing covering it (like a Chipotle hand held). It has only three ingredients besides the tortilla and one of them is jack cheese.. which was not in the burrito.. making it incredibly dry. A shame, because the eggs and potatoes were tasty but it was in much need of some moisture which the missing cheese would have provided. We'll be back, but for Happy Hour which is a pretty good one judging from the prices in the app.

We checked out Woodie Fisher for the first time a couple of weeks ago during Restaurant Week 2023.  We were glad to see most of the menu was still available, so we were able to check out a handful of items from the vast menu. Food – We started our meal by sharing the Duck Confit salad along with the Shishito peppers.  Both were great! However, we opted to order a third appetizer to go with our meal and chose the House Made Burrata Toast.  This was by FAR the best appetizer of the meal.   For entrees we had the Pan Roasted Cod, along with the Risotto.  The cod was unique, and very flavorsome.  Served with Spicy Sausage and a very tasty Wine Butter sauce.   While the Risotto was delicious, it did not come out very warm.   For desserts, we enjoyed the season cobbler during our visit and brought the “Tiramisu” home with us. Service – Our server was the perfect balance of friendly, informative, and attentive. They checked in on us just enough to make sure we were happy, but not so much that it felt intrusive. Ambiance –  Woodie Fisher’s attention to detail is evident in the way the have repurposed this historic structure (a repurposed Firehouse first opened in 1881) in Denver’s Union Station neighborhood.  The entire restaurant is stunning and an innovative way to honor the history of the building.

Great location and solid service. Dog friendly on patio. Good beer and cocktail selection. The food quality was good but the serving size was on the smaller side, thus just 4 stars. It’s more accurately a 4.5 Perhaps it was just what we ordered. I would return but order a main rather than a shareable item off the menu.

Morning sunshine beats down on breakfast diners. The breakfasts burrito was solid, but nothing unusual, besides for fingerling potatoes which helped. Side of French toast and cappuccino good as well.

Unfortunately, aside from a few plates and good customer service, the ambiance was the best thing about this place. After promptly being seated, it took over 10 minutes to be verbally acknowledged by the wait staff. We did receive water, but we had to ask who our server was to start our drink orders. When she did arrive, she was apologetic…apparently she had been dealing with a challenging table. After turning her attention to us we found our server knowledgeable about the menu items, and candid with her recommendations. The food in general was ok. The pork loin was a touch dry for my liking, and under-seasoned—the rice bed it was served on was flavorful though. The pizza dough seemed a bit on the salty side. The sirloin steak, while cooked nicely, was under-seasoned as well. The hip feel of the place was its saving grace.

I visited the restaurant for dinner on April 24th based on recommendation of front desk staff at the Hilton Garden Inn. Here’s my detailed review. 1. Restaurant is in an old firehall location. The decor is very nice with a mix of old and new which gives a very good vibe. I especially loved the rustic look of walls and ceilings with modern touches sprinkled in. 2. It is a very big restaurant with bar in the middle and dining room on one side and fancy lounge on the other side. 3. I ordered plate of Grilled Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer. They tasted great but Brussels sprouts were hard and it was even harder to cut them using a steak knife. 4. For main meal, I ordered Asparagus and Morel Mushroom risotto. While it tasted ok, the rice were a little under done and hard. Nothing great about the dish. It felt like filling the stomach rather than enjoy the meal. Rivers, the server was kind enough to offer me something else to order so I ordered Meat Lovers pizza instead as my main meal. 5. Pizza, even though thin crust, was doughy and the crust tasted undercooked. Overall, I feel that service provided was excellent but the food didn’t taste that great. In my opinion, the restaurant is overrated as being the top 100 in USA. I would definitely not be going back.

The service and food were pretty good, but this was sooo gross to look at while trying to enjoy my dinner. We were sitting under what seemed to be a disgusting infestation of dead bugs right above my husbands head. I don't know if it was an AC unit or something specifically made to attract bugs, but it was covered in insects, spiders, webs, etc.

We visited here because we use the Blackbird app to pay and the app recommended visiting for BOGO drinks. Upon arrival, I informed the bartender that we were using the app and he said “we’ll figure it out at the end” The food was mostly great- wonderful pizza and French dip was awesome, but tomato basil soup tasted like reheated pasta sauce. The bartender was all over the map and spent more time eating his dinner than being attentive. We paid with the app and were charged full price for all of our drinks and when we asked him if the issue could be rectified, he said that his manager said he could give us 2 free drinks NOW but they could not adjust the tab. The only reason why we visited was because of the BOGO drinks. We purchased 6 full priced drinks and were given two ‘free’ drinks for the check issue.. we didn’t need more drinks, we were trying a new experience based on the app. Unlikely to revisit.

This place is awesome. Come in for brunch on Sunday when Paul is working the bar. Best service ever!! Edit: this review used to be five stars. But I have to review the food at one star now and the restaurant itself at 3 stars for the following reasons: A year has passed, and the restaurant is under new ownership. While it's still good, it's no longer the unique and exciting place it once was. The service and chefs remain excellent, but the menu is a major letdown. They've replaced the creative, standout dishes with options you'd typically find at a chain restaurant like Applebee's. used to come here for the variety and quality-dishes like jambalaya and green chili burgers were a highlight. The chefs are clearly talented and doing their best with the new menu, but sadly, even the green chili burger, arguably the best I've had since moving to Colorado in 2004, is gone. It's baffling why the new owners would remove such iconic items, especially in Colorado, where green chili is a staple. This place used to be a must-visit for its distinct offerings, but now it feels like it's lost its identity.

With so many great dining options in downtown Denver, Woodie Fisher is a must skip. We were guests at the Hilton Garden Inn which is attached to the restaurant and wanted to grab a bite after checking in. I ordered the grilled salmon with risotto and my fiancée had the patty melt with a side salad. The risotto and salmon were very bland. It seemed like the kitchen completely forgot to salt anything. We still ate because we were hungry after our travels. However, I couldn't eat all of the salmon because it was raw in the middle. The patty melt was also disappointing. The only thing with flavor in that sandwich was the peppers. Our server was not very warm, but did an okay job. I have a gluten sensitivity and they seemed to be knowledgeable when I asked about accomodations. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great! But back of house leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely not worth the $70 (we were overcharged on one of our cocktails also). I emailed the general manager, Susette, on Friday afternoon about our experience and as of Tuesday morning I haven't heard back.

The hospitality was very disappointing. We were a group of eight. Called at 7:15 and reserved a table for 8:00. We arrived on time and were enjoying everything. Then suddenly we were asked by our server for a last call order from the bar. This was before the main courses arrived. It changed the entire vibe. The food was delicious but as soon as the entrees were served our server asked for a dessert order! They were rushing us out. None of us had ever been treated like that in any restaurant. And, everyone of us had worked in restaurants before. Last call? We were in the dining room running up a large bill! The manager gave little satisfaction. He blamed the server. If they weren’t able to accommodate our large party they shouldn’t have taken the reservation. We thought it was fine dining. Mistake. Wine service and selections were poor. I did leave my bag there by mistake however, and a staff member made a run to get it back to me. Cheers for that.

It wasn't that busy at all but it still took the waitress maybe 30 min to take our order. (I think she said she was busy catching up on things and got sidetracked). Took another 30+ min to get our food (and the waitress never came back to check on drinks or anything during that entire time). We had to flag down someone else to try to order more drinks. I had the salmon and it was fine but the risotto was completely flavorless and very disappointing for how much it cost.

We have been to woodie fisher a few times for lunch and dinner. Both were fine experiences. We went for brunch on a Sunday. Maybe at 20% capacity but service was extremely slow nor any incentive to speed things up. Only the bar was doing any service while others including kitchen staff sat on their phones while we waited 20-30 mins to be served. For a $200 ticket for a party of 3, food was subpar at best.

Took them an hour to get our food which tasted like they forgot to finish it in the kitchen. Staff disappeared for large amounts of time. Asked a staff member if he could check on our food and maybe get us more to drink: "you'll have to ask your server about those things. " Food is usually good but wasn't tonight. Service with 1/3 of the restaurant full was non existent. Skip this place.

Went here for the broncos game and .75c wings. Service was terrible. The bartender was in a terrible mood the entire time. When she dropped off our menus she didn’t say a word and hardly made eye contact with us at all. She seemed mad we were there. No waters. Took 5+ minutes before we even got our drink order in. Another 20+ minutes before we got our food order in. Food was awful - we saw it sit in the back for several minutes before it was finally brought to us. Will not be going back.

We had dinner tonight with some friends and unfortunately were not impressed. Our server, Lindsey, was mediocre at best and seemed to be dragging her feet whenever she came to or left our table. She had very low energy, never smiled, and gave off an overall negative attitude. Given the price of the food, we expected a more elevated experience. Something as simple as cracked black pepper would have been appreciated, but instead we we had generic ground pepper. The best way we could describe the food was like a “luxury Applebee’s.” The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, but between the bland food and the lack of customer service, we won’t be returning.

A reasonable place to eat in Denver. Lovely old converted Fire House. We ordered a few appetizers which were brought out pretty promptly. Our waiter was very attentive. Didn’t give us much time between ordering drinks and appetizers and coming back for our main course however. Felt a little rushed. My battered fish was overcooked and dry unfortunately. I would still like to try this place again.

Order two different Benedict’s, the Hollandaise sauce tastes like a watered down version of the Knorr packets you can buy at Walmart or Target, eggs were also cooked too much too. Also ordered cold brew coffee and it was highly acidic tasting, come to find out they use a concentrated version. Won’t make a second attempt to eat at this place.

Well let’s start we make a reservation at 7:30 on a Saturday we got there the hostess were nice the guy and the girl but the girl had her blouse all wrinkled and the guy untucked his shirt and both didn’t look professional but they were nice! We seated on the bar and no one acknowledged Yeah us for like 10 minutes, the bar was as dirty and they complained about something. Super unprofessional. The food was mediocre for the price , I have been in so many places this place There were had a lot potential but I’m not coming back. Save your money save your money and go to another place is so many way better this place is only good for some pictures! The server was nice. And sorry about my grammar I don’t write in English that often.

The food is mediocre at best, but the staff, and in particular, Lexi, the manager, really goes that extra mile to make you feel unwelcome. Go to one of the many other fine restaurants in downtown Denver and skip this overpriced and glorified hotel bar which is half empty on the busiest of nights.

Short review: Good things first: host was kind to switch our reservation time, and free parking. Now the bad things: This was probably the worst and slowest service and food ever. I will never recommend this place to anyone, and my friend bought chicken tenders and got food poisoning from it. Y’all need more staff cause our waiter was busing tables and serving taking a long time for 8 tables which was causing them to have “SUPER” busy and have slow service. (For more detail read below) Long review: We had a reservation and unfortunately we were not going to make it in time but the host that I called accommodated and changed the reservation time for an hour after. They were very helpful and understanding about this. When we arrived there were most of the tables full. We ordered drinks for them 15 minutes later not to crazy. Then 15 minutes later the host came by and took our order. By this time most of the tables were gone, from over 30+ tables in the red there were only 7 tables left and ordering food still. There was one table behind us that had arrived and at the same time put in our order. It was already 7:50 pm at this point. By the time it was 8:30 pm a new table had already arrived and ordered and the table behind us had already got their food and paid and left. In this time the server never came by to check on us without us calling him over. My dad went over to check with the waiter where our food was at 8:45 pm and the waiter said “there are multiple orders in so they are taking a long time” at this point only 6 tables were in the restaurant and again our server never came back to offer more drinks or water without us calling him over. Less than 10 minutes after my dad told our waiter and after an hour of ordering our food. At this time the other table that had order 30 minutes after us got their food as well. Food wasn’t even warm, burgers were extremely cold, patty melt was “drier than the Shara desert”, salmon had no flavor and was utterly disappointing, cheesecake was the worst I’ve ever had and the crust was so hard I almost broke my plate trying to take a piece with my spoon. In the end this was horrible place to eat, will never recommend it to anyone for the price of the food and the service. Do NOT eat here under ANY circumstances!!
