Work and Class in Denver is one of the most highly rated in town for its southern comfort foods and Latin inspired dishes. The space has a very laid back homey feel. And the service is top notch...great attention and helpful. The food was outstanding...especially if you enjoy meat! Cannot say enough! 5 x 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩 The food was overall good but a little to improve. The team was nice, thoughtful and helpful. 💚🥗🧡Massive Attack Salad was definitely recommended! Since it was also the only salad option they have, they did a great job. Different veggies were mixed in many ways, some chopped, some fried. You get surprises each bite. Healthy dish with a little guilty pleasure. Colorado lamb was normal, it didn’t come with anything. Some were tender, some were overcooked. The design and word play of this restaurant was very creative! Loved the background music, not too loud, real chill. The customer service was excellent, the manager Johnnie was great about trying to get our large group seated with another large group even though we didn’t have a reservation and the other group did. Our waiter was great too. Let’s talk food. The lamb was cooked to a perfect temperature but it was bland. I used the sauce from the roasted chicken dish to give it some flavor. The Mac & cheese was good, harissa veges were good it included beets and carrots which was unexpected. None of the food wowed us, but the ambiance and customer service made it a great experience. The portions of the side are meant to be shareable but for the price we expected a bit larger portion. Jalapeño cornbread was crisp on the outside and moist inside, enjoyed it the most.

Such a fun, lively spot. During happy hour, I had the chicken pot pie it’s warm, flavorful, and comforting. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed her meal. One highlight was the “beer and shot Russian roulette.” I love the surprise aspect, and they picked a great beer for me with tequila as the shot. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual yet energetic. Perfect for a night out, and I’d love to return.

Such a wonderful dinner – cannot wait to return. Our menu selections for a party of two were ALL next level. Beginning with a perfectly balanced Nitro Espresso Martini and a Paloma from the bar, our position at the Chef’s counter was like watching a perfect harmony. Chef Antonio and his team made a full house dinner service seem effortless. The chef slipped two chickpea croquettes over the counter, and they were incredible bites setting the scene for the ‘goodness’ to follow. ¼ Rotisserie chicken, Massive Attack Salad (Tempura Broccoli cooked perfectly), leeks and mashed side, caprese potato gnocchi and the chocolate lava cake - All 100% exceptional. The Lava Cake was delicious, however a slightly different take if you are expecting ‘Roy’s. Love the vibe of the restaurant, especially at peak dinner time – feels super alive and special (Recommend a reservation). From the moment the hostess handed us off to Spencer until our departure – we felt like VIPs. Spencer took exceptional care of us – thank you Spencer, Chef Antonio, and the entire Work & Class team for giving us a memorable experience during our stop in Denver.
