"We like 404 because it’s like the classic little black dress—you can zhuzh it up for a nicer occasion in the dining room or play it low-key for a more casual meal on the terrace. Either way, it just always seems to work. 404 Kitchen moved to the Gulch in 2017, and it’s watched a ton of restaurants come and go in the neighborhood. We attribute its staying power to the deep whiskey collection at its connected bar, Gertie’s, and an absolutely monster burger that’s dripping with pimento cheese and collard greens. The menu leans Southern—catfish bites, shrimp and grits, whole smoked fried chicken, and cornbread—with an excellent roster of cocktails to accompany it all." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"Reiterated as a destination for elevated dining and meat-focused options (steak), included among notable Gulch and downtown eateries." - Missy Frederick

"What started as a shipping container with only 56 seats, 404 Kitchen was once the hardest reservation to secure in town. Now in a larger space, seats are much easier to come by, but diners can still expect the same well-executed Southern dishes, like pimento cheese on housemade crackers, grilled oysters with chipotle bourbon butter, and whole smoked fried chicken. Stop by Gertie’s Bar for a whiskey before heading upstairs to experience the culinary creations of chef Matt Bolus." - Eater Staff
"Gertie’s Bar, tucked inside the 404 Kitchen in the Gulch, typically leans heavily into its whiskey pours, but you’ll also find a solid line-up of nonalcoholic offerings that fit the bill when a glass of bourbon isn’t in the cards. Standouts include the Hop, Skip, and a Jump made with yuzu, orgeat, pineapple purée, and coconut water, the Shape Up or Ship Out with strawberry lemonade, cucumber, and sparkling water, and the Penny For Your Thoughts, a sweet and spicy mix of chai, vanilla, cinnamon, and cream." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
