Intimate chef's counter offering seasonal tasting menus & wine pairings
"In Denver I found a Scandinavian-influenced tasting menu focused on intimacy and local sourcing at Beckon, which earned a MICHELIN Star and helped redefine fine dining in the Rockies. Allison Anderson Holmes says MICHELIN’s arrival brought more resumes from around the country and beyond, more experienced cooks and fresh talent; Beckon responded by investing in renovations, improving service standards and even starting a farm, while acknowledging that the Guide has introduced a competitive feeling between those that are in the Guide and those that aren't." - Ty Gaskins
"Dining at Beckon is like going to a dinner party at a friend’s house, assuming the type of people you know like to roast up squab and top hakurei turnips with trout roe. Denver’s first tasting menu-only restaurant was opened by people who worked at Frasca, Boulder’s best Italian restaurant, and they bring that same eye for hospitality to the bungalow-turned-18-seat restaurant. (Cold? Someone will bring you a blanket. Don’t want to go home yet? Linger on the patio around the blazing fire pit.) Plan ahead for this one, as the eight-course weekend dinners typically book up at least a month out." - allyson reedy, patricia kaowthumrong
"Chef Duncan Holmes’ 18 seat restaurant Beckon serves guests a contemporary, multi-course tasting menu that changes with the seasons. Known for its vivacious energy, Beckon’s menu is hardly predictable: courses run the gamut from seared pork belly served with rutabaga and apple, snapper with turnip and shiso, and chocolate honeycomb with pomegranate pate de fruit and brown butter shortbread. (1 star)" - Annie Harrigan
"Beckon, situated in RiNo, offers a contemporary tasting menu that changes with the seasons." - Sarah Kuta
"A compact, compelling chef's-counter destination offering an intimate, chef-driven tasting experience; its focused format and high-level execution led to a semifinalist nomination for Outstanding Restaurant." - Nicole Adlman
