I haven't stayed there, but I live in Denver and went by the other day for lunch at the bar.

My experience with that confirms what the original poster wrote--I thought the menu was a little opaque (that is, difficult to discern what the dishes are from the descriptions), which is kind of a pet peeve of mine. I had a cheeseburger--knowing from my experience this is one thing a hotel has to get right. 9 times out of 10 if I get in to a hotel and need something quickish to eat before going to meetings or getting to sleep or whatever, this is what I'll order.

The burger was horrible. Fairly good bun, but the burger itself was not up to snuff for the Four Seasons (or any hotel or restaurant). It was two fast-food size patties, rather than one, which surprised me, but the worse part was that it tasted mostly of cardboard. I really think they're using prefrozen burgers. This really surprised me.

Good fries though. The service was very friendly, but did not have the polish you'd expect at a Four Seasons. I'd give them a break on that, as they've only been open a few days. Over the next few months I'll give it further tries, and probably book a stay or two (I've considered buying one of the apartments and I'd like to get a feel for the place).

I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few months they do an overhaul of their menus. Also, speaking as a Denverite, another steakhouse? Is that really what this town needs?
