"While its adjacent sibling, prix fixe chef’s counter Beckon, regularly appears here, this jewelbox of a lounge in RiNo warrants inclusion in its own right thanks to a stellar wine selection with an emphasis on Champagne; a small but superb seasonal roster of mostly small plates like smoked mushroom-and-burrata tartine, hamachi crudo in blood orange-lemongrass vinaigrette, and duck confit with dried cherry mostarda; and service that’s crisp and kindly by turns. Dress up a bit, live a little, and come back a lot." - Ruth Tobias
"Like its adjacent sibling, the Michelin-starred destination Beckon, Major Tom occupies an old RiNo bungalow whose tight quarters mean that getting up close and personal is guaranteed. But where a meal at Beckon is a bit more formal, centered on a multicourse tasting menu, the experience here is more relaxed — if no less celebratory for that, thanks to an extensive selection of Champagnes and oysters aplenty. (Speaking of aphrodisiacs, don’t pass up the cream puff for dessert.)" - Ruth Tobias
"Major Tom is the slightly more buttoned-down sister restaurant from the people behind Beckon, located just next door. The dimly-lit space brings to mind dusk on a space shuttle, and with just 30 seats and a killer sparkling wine and champagne program, it’s ideal for date night. The restaurant’s namesake is subtly reflected in the astronaut on its menu and the decor (look for the outdoor lunar mural and moon cycle wallpaper). Grab a table on the string light- and fire pit-furnished patio, or cozy up on a pillow-lined wooden bench. You can also sidle up to the tiny chef’s counter inside and watch as the kitchen churns out platters of oysters and baskets of piping hot french fries, perfectly charred miso-glazed cabbage, and toasted sourdough crowned with burrata and mushrooms." - allyson reedy, patricia kaowthumrong

"In the charming little patio-flanked cottage that used to house Call, this sibling of Beckon (see below) is making a splash with a remarkable Champagne selection, chic cocktails, and a compact but luxurious menu of mostly small plates like oysters with uni, caviar, and crème fraîche; truffled panisse; and venison tartare with shiitakes and sun-dried tomato. Splurging on an after-dinner glass of Madeira or Tokaji just feels right here." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
