First impression: when we arrived on time for our reservation, they said they could not seat us because the previous table was still eating their desserts. I never had this happen at any of the other fine dining establishments I’ve been to. We were delayed by about 10-15 mins. We decided to skip the tasting menu after reading through reviews. Service was about 4.5/5.
I ordered the hot tea. It was pretty good. Warns you up. We ordered 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, and one dessert.
-Fried maitake slider 5/5 - after the first bite I was impressed and quickly devoured it. All of the flavor and ingredients came together nicely.
-Veal sweetbread scallopini 3/5 - so the meat was tender to cut and it was good. The problem was it was overly salted. It kind of reminds me of the Jewel Osco brand sausage (overabundance of salt that you need to drink water after each bite).
-Sweet potato agnolotti 5/5 - highly recommended. No complaints.
-Slow cooked duck presse 1/5 - I love duck but this was the only one I could not finish. This was a total miss. Taste wise, is similar to a pate and could be eaten with crackers or bread. By itself, it’s like putting a spoonful of salt in your mouth. This dish should definitely have a piece of bread to go along with it.
-Sauteed Barramundi 4.5/5 - sea bass was very flaky. The sauce pairs well with the fish and smoked trout roe.
-Lemon meringue pie 5/5 - I love the dessert. Wasn’t too tart.
Overall, it’s about a 3.5/5 for me. They need to cut down on the salt and improve on getting guests seated at their correct reservation times.

Went here to celebrate a birthday, we got the five courses and personally were unimpressed. For the price point I was hoping we would get some say in what we were served but they just kept bringing us food we did not really like. Just a personal option, I’m sure some people may have enjoyed it but nothing left us full or satisfied unfortunately. We were hoping at least the final course would be something filling and delicious but they brought out a piece of rabbit and I don’t eat rabbit so that left me really disappointed. They were bringing out plates of delicious looking steak next to us so I’d say that’s probably the way to go for half the price!
Absolutely amazing experience and food. Staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We did the kitchen’s choice tasting and it was some of the best food we’ve ever eaten. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Some of the best food we've had anywhere. The chef really knows how to combine the flavors and textures. We had the tasting menu, and every dish was terrific. It's rare to go to a place where even the amuse bouche starter gives a big wow.
Very high-end romantic vibe. Fruition is my favorite upscale fine dining with many many course meals. Majority if their menu always changes, so your fine dining experience will never be the same! This is a true fine dining place for western omakase experience.
Amazing! From the food to service, everything was five star. We had buttermilk fried mushroom such a fun take on Nashville hot chicken. The rocky melon tasted like summer and the strip was perfection. Ended the night with chocolate pot de creme that brought a tear to my eye it was SO good. Beautiful, cozy restaurant with perfect food.
This was a great experience with excellent food and drinks. The service was a little slow, but we had a party of over 30, so that was to be expected. All staff were very friendly. I would highly suggest this for an upscale intimate gathering.
Wow. This is my new favorite restaurant in Denver. Our waiter, Shaun, was absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable. The food was so flavorful and everything we ate was delicious. The lamb shank and scallops were incredible. If you’re looking for a spot to eat in Denver, this is it!!
We’ve been back twice since my first review, and it has been amazing each time. I added extra photos to everything else we’ve gotten.
