“ Yelp says I've been here eight times, so I guess this must be my favorite Denver restaurant. The space is gorgeous. There's a beautiful tile floor, a decorated ceiling with elegant chandeliers, a sweeping glass wall, and soothing colors. There's a good amount of space between the tables and a small bar next to the door (no bar seating). The next room contains the bakery and a little bit of seating for it. The staff is very polished and provides excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable service. The food is superb. The concept is "cuisine bourgeoise." Noisette takes everyday home cooking from the French countryside and elevates it to fine dining. I love this idea. The execution is flawless. We started with the foie gras. The serving was generous and came with some delicious brioche toast points plus a caramelized blood orange sauce. The liver was very smooth and flavorful. We also tried the scrambled eggs ("brouillade" sounds much fancier in French, though). I've had a number of egg dishes here, including a lovely quiche. What these guys do with eggs is unworldly. This dish is a saucer of very soft scrambled eggs with truffles and a bit of chicken stock. It is certainly the best egg dish I've ever tasted. I must mention the bread service. The menu describes this as a house-made baguette, but what you really get is a plate of micro baguettes the size of dinner rolls plus a crock of delicious brown butter (called "beurre noisette" in French, hence the name of the restaurant). Heating butter until its water content evaporates and the milk solids caramelize unleashes a unique, deep, rich flavor. A small example of the trouble the kitchen takes with each dish. I tried the cassoulet on this visit, a classic country French dish that involves throwing bits of leftovers and beans together to make a stew. I received a large crock with a huge confit duck leg, a pork collar (center cut pork shoulder), and a house-made Toulouse sausage plus lots of beans, of course. Every component was delicious, but the duck was amazing with perfectly crispy skin and extremely tender, flavorful meat. Every entrée here comes with potatoes and I'm allergic to them. They whipped up some sautéed spinach for me as a substitute. I'm not a spinach fan, but this was very tasty. I also had an issue with the almond crust on the foie gras, but without any fuss they were able to do a serving without it. Terrific service without any bother. My friend tried the duck breast with wild mushrooms, a very large portion, and his daughter had the steamed king salmon, served in a lovely pool of beurre blanc. They both enjoyed their dishes. Alas, no room for dessert on this visit. The attached bakery is not to be missed. It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday until 2:00 p.m. They make an excellent selection of French baked goods plus those amazing quiches I mentioned. They have a new selection of lucious breakfast sandwiches, only available on Saturdays so far, plus a couple of lunch sandwiches that are available every day. Noisette is a really wonderful restaurant and bakery that is at the top of their game. Well worth a visit or five. ”

“ Came here for Valentines Day (though, we always do the day after to avoid the crazy busy crowds), and had really high expectations. My fiancé found this spot by looking at a list of Michelin recommendations, so we knew it had to be good. To start, we got warm bread. I had high hopes since this spot is also a bakery. But the bread was honestly "just bread". It didn't have much to it and the butter needed some flaky sea salt on it in my opinion. For my main dish, I got the salmon. Again the flavor was just a bit muted and didn't wow me. What I really did like were the puréed potatoes. But I've also never met a potato I didn't like! My fiancé got the duck with with pork collar, sausage and beans. It was a very hefty serving and he said he liked it just fine, but it didn't blow his socks off. The wine we each paired with our meals was great. And the dessert was pretty good. Now, to where this place really excels: service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and even sent us home with some shortbread cookies. She said they typically send guests home with pastries from the bakery but they had just ran out. Bummer! But still super amazing of them to send us home with some goodies. When I had the shortbread cookies with tea the following day, that was actually what blew my mind. SO so buttery and not overly sugary sweet. I will for sure have to give the bakery a try. As for returning the restaurant, it's not on my immediate to-do list, or even my short term to-do list. For the price and expectations, I have other denver restaurants I love that o think are a bit more solid on the flavors. But I'll absolutely stop in to give their bakery a fair shot! ”

“ I really wanted to love Noisette. It's been on my to-try list for awhile, not only because I love French food, but also because I have loved their dishes at all the festivals and events they've served food at. But Noisette was... fine. Not great, but not bad. The decor is cute. A little pink for me, but fine. My husband probably wouldn't walk in here by himself. The service is great and the chef-owners are super nice, which makes this tough. One thing I don't like is that there's no bar seating. My husband and I often like to walk into restaurants during happy hour and sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. Sometimes I dine by myself (like I did here) -- and then the lack of bar seating is even more uncomfortable. Only 5 cocktails on the menu -- 3 of them gin based. I usually expect a little more from a cocktail menu at an upscale restaurant these days. The biggest thing for me was that the food was... fine. I admit, my opinion is definitely tinged by the lack of gluten-free alternatives. It's always an issue with French restaurants: the apps all come with a baguette or a brioche or on a crepe or inside a pastry. Most places in Denver have done a bit better accommodating the huge number of gluten-intolerant people here (even if it's just getting some gluten-free bread from another Colorado bakery). The gluten-free crackers they brought for the foie gras were NOT good -- but I was not impressed by the $33 hard chunk of foie gras with super-tart sauce either (and I usually love foie gras) -- but maybe it was the crackers. I should have gotten something else, but I think the endives were the only gluten-free option. The lobster main dish was really good -- a whole lobster for $75 is ok pricing I think. I have had good lobster many places, though... so not sure I'd come back for this one? Total for just myself: 2 glasses of sparkling, foie gras app, lobster main, French-style cheesecake and espresso martini -- $178. ”

“ Amazing? Not really. Somethings are better than others. I really wanted to give 5 stars but just lacks on few areas. For Denver Restaurant Week, had choice of salad or soup. The main course was either chicken or fish. Forget the fancy French name which I will not able to master. Our offering did not come with bread so we ordered baguettes which came out very warm and butter was delicious. I think it was around $9. Glass of wines were on pricy side. I got a red Bordeaux blend for $20, white for $16. By the way, still water was very good. Our waiter was attentive but not great. For the restaurant of this caliber, he was lacking. Table next to us ordered the same entrée as us but their bread came out very late and I could here our waiter telling them that it will come out with the salad. That wasn't the case with ours. Even though they ordered 5 minutes after us, they got their main course before us. We ended up waiting good five minutes after them. Service? 3 maybe. It was ok. Our chicken dish was excellent. Very crispy outside but juicy in the center. I will give 5 stars for this exquisitely prepared dish. My striped bass was good also. It was presented with skin side up. It's was crispy, flavorful. Ended up enjoying every bit of it. Also had desert menu but wording were too foreign to us. Our waiter wasn't successful selling any of the desert offerings. While waiting for our bill, the nect table got one of the desert and looked good. We could ordered that if there was pics or better description. The waiter brought us each, bag of pastries which was a nice gesture. We devoured that in the car. Next morning I had to clean up the flaky mess. It was good! Would like to come back and try few other dishes like vol-au-vent de homard. 5 stars for their unique dishes, 3 for lackluster performance of pur waiter ”

“ Come for brunch with friends but this is hands down the best bakery in town. And I usually don't leave my own neighborhood to come for a pastry but I would here ... ”

“ This place is fantastic. Really feels like a trendier spin on a classic French bakery, and the pastries are delicious. The staff were very helpful & friendly, and helped me carry my box of pastries when I was with my daughter. I only went to try pastries, but the full menu looks great! ”
