Fruition Restaurant

If you have not tried Fruition, it is a must try. The food was cooked to perfection for me. The restaurant has a beautiful setting and was fantastic. The cuisine tastes amazing.

7/10. Most waitresses and waiters are super friendly, except maitre d'. Kept his porker face all the time.Beef tallow potatoes are awesome！Love the balance between the richness and sourness of Line Caught Swordfish.Tuna carpaccio is fresh but a lil bit oily.NY strip loin looks colorful, but a lil bit chewy.Have no idea why sour dough charged $7, it's for free in most restaurants. And butter is no flavor, doesn't match the price.

My partner and I came here for dinner the night before Valentine's Day. Perfect because it was totally empty. Calm before the storm. Service was fantastic. It's clearly intended to be an upscale, romantic experience. We were seated immediately, and my only qualm is the cold draft that's let into the restaurant every time the main door is opened.The food was delicious! We started with Pan Seared Scallops with lobster cream and caviar, which are making my mouth water as I write this. I love how many pescatarian-friendly options there are. We shared the Potato Crusted Icelandic Cod with baby manila clam chowder, as well as the Sautéed Barramundi with buttered spinach and smoked trout roe emulsion. Both were quite tasty. I would order them again.As far as fancy restaurants in Denver go, this wasn't my all-time favorite but definitely enjoyable and worth giving a shot. There tends to be a decent amount of reservation availability, so make sure to do that in advance. You might have to walk a bit after parking in this neighborhood depending on the evening. Would love to come back someday though.

Very cute restaurant with nice ambiance and good service.Food is executed well albeit a tad spendy.Love that it is in the neighborhood.Great Date night restaurant.

Came here for the New Year's Eve 5 course menu to bring in the new years. We have always enjoyed the ambiance here because it's a warm and brightly lite. Wish there was more room but hey, nbd. I don't like sitting next to people where I can hear their whole conversations. It's just weird to me.First came out was this oyster and caviar with crème fresh. Light and salty little bite. Then the fennel and grapefruit salad. Tart and salty. I enjoyed the pistachios in that little sucker. The risotto followed and my husband says it was cooked well. I honestly don't know how the heck it's supposed to be cooked. Low key reminded me of thick porridge. It tasted good though. Next, the scallops came. This, was a delight. I would eat a bag of these MFers if I could. I heard multiple people saying this was the best part. Then came the steak. It had a good crust on it. I like steaks like that. From now on, I would like a steak crust. lol finally, to round it off- the lemon meringue. You definitely get that lemon. Pew pew. Overall, delightful. Service was good. Proud of this one girl who poured this water and didn't tip over a cocktail while not spilling anything. Good start to a good year.

Arrived into Fruition Restaurant on a Thursday evening and it wasn't very crowded. A small, cozy, and intimate space with great service.The cocktails were a limited menu but we enjoyed our drinks. To start we got the pan seared scallops, yellowtail crudo, bison carpaccio. The scallops were amazing as was the bison! Honestly everything was tasty.For an entree we got the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and barramundi. The barramundi was incredible! We also got a chocolate pot de creme to enjoy. I will say for 3 people, I'm not sure that anyone of us left stuffed.Note, they add a 20% surcharge onto the bill which is in lieu of tip.

What a cool restaurant. We were running late, and phoned to say that --no problem Fruitions hostess, Tara, accommodated us. Once we arrived, she greeted us warmly, showed us to our table and provided our choice of water. This was an incredible warm, nice and welcoming first impression that lasted throughout the meal. Our server Nate knew the menu and he knew how to proved superb service from recommendations, to timing each course to arrive at the right time. The food was extraordinary. The mushroom slider, is apparently a mainstay and on the menu for over 10 years. I can see why --it was crispy, sweet, savory, spicy and warm on that soft brioche bun. The swordfish schnitzel with rock shrimp was an inspired work of art. Delicious, savory, rich and filling. The wine menu is well done, with some great wine by the glass selections. Fruition had been on my list of "go to" better restaurants in Denver and I am glad I made it here. We are sure to return soon. Thanks again Tara and Nate--you guys rock!

We did the tasting menu with wine pairing. Service was good. Not to quick, knowledgeable, discrete. Overall 4/5 stars. The pairing didn't pair that well with the dishes. One course was actually a cider. The best dish was the black truffle risotto.

We came here on a Saturday date night. It's a small, cozy space for small groups or couples. I wish they had an outside patio. The service was friendly and attentive, at times a bit uncoordinated, and lacked some attention to detail. The food was overall good, but I feel like the chef is playing it safe, and the food could use some inventiveness or more creativity.The Icelandic Cod 'Beignets' were nice, salty, well-executed and crispy. Rocky Ford Melon was a fun, light, and summery dish. It's a bit hard to share because of the sauce so you need a spoon to eat it. The Veal Sweetbreads Scallopini were a total miss. The way they were prepared made them tough and chewy, instead of the buttery, light texture they have. White Shrimp Agnolotti was great, I could easily do this as a main course. It tasted like Italy. Well-executed textures, nice flavor, and plating. Pan Roasted Scallops were also a miss. While the scallops were very well cooked, the dish did not come together. The corn was not a great fit, the mushrooms were bland, and could not see them, and the crispy prosciutto didn't come together. If they keep changing up the menu, I would love to come here again, but the menu is pretty small. I like the daily or weekly menu style restaurants, otherwise coming back has less appeal.

Pretty cozy small upscale restaurant. No parking lot & some free street parking. Very cozy atmosphere and romantic vibe with average noise level. Our server gave us such ab above and beyond experience. We were a bit cold as the entrance door wasn't too far from us, and she brought us shawls for us to keep warm. (Temperature got better as more people came into the restaurant later) We tried the pan roasted scallops, Japanese yellowtail crudo, bison carpaccio. All were very delicious. For the restaurant week, we got the Chicory salad, cod beignet for the 1st course. Beignet was a bit saltier than our expectations. We tried porkchop and wild mushroom risotto for the 2nd. Porkchop was very juicy and tender. Lemon meringue was not too sweet and delicious.
