Urban Farmer Denver

tl;dr: I’ve had a couple of really good dinner experiences and one pretty disappointing brunch experience here.

Dinner (December 2022): This place is stellar! I called ahead to ask if there were celiac-friendly options, and also put a note in my reservation. Our server mentioned celiac disease immediately and was prepared to go over the entire menu with me if I wanted that. I shared two steaks with my sister, and had some of the (family style) Brussels sprouts, root vegetable, and mashed potato sides, as well as a salad. They also brought me gluten-free bread and crackers to go with the cheese board. I would highly recommend dinner here.

Brunch (July 2023): Brunch is a lot less impressive than dinner. The potatoes (which come with most things on the brunch menu) aren’t safe, but they do have GF toast. When I went, even though I was super clear, they brought me a plate with potatoes at first and had to remake it.

I mentioned I was celiac in my reservation notes and every single member of the staff starting with the host mentioned it. That made me feel safer right off the bat. The server was knowledgeable and helpful, and I did not get sick. I ate a petit filet with truffle butter, potato purée and asparagus. All tasty. It’s pricey though.

The service was terrible. Our waiter openly admitted that he forgot me and my mom were celiac when telling us about the dessert. Honestly they didn't really have very many gluten free option. I won't ever go back!

Excellent experience! My husband and I went here after another FMGF restaurant had an hour and a half wait for our late breakfast after arriving in Denver. SO glad that they did! This place was a gem! Excellent service, fantastic food, and a really nice atmosphere.

I had an heirloom tomato and avocado salad with chia seeds and chicken. The chicken had great flavor and was extremely tender. The heirloom tomatoes were as delicious as any I’ve had! And, absolutely no stomach issues. The waiter was knowledgeable about the gluten free menu options and the kitchen must clearly take them seriously as I felt great after eating there. I also enjoyed a cucumber, basil, lemonade! My non gf husband loved his buttermilk pancakes and side of scrambled eggs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great breakfast spot whether you're gluten free or gluten friendly. Saturday brunch has plenty of options, from house made gluten free English muffins topped with smoked salmon to several hash options. Perfect foodie stop, with personable staff and great outdoor seating.
