I loved that they had gluten free options! The crepe and chocolate mousse were very tasty.

Both times I have visited, I ordered the tasting menu. EVERY course was creative, and so, so good! It is the first time in my 30 years of eating gluten-free that what I was able to eat was equal to or better than what everyone else was eating. Amazing!

Great place! We celebrated my husband's birthday there. The food and the menu amazing - simple, but yet exquisite! There are gluten free and vegetarian options! The staff was super friendly and knowledgable! Strongly recommend!

Unbelievable food! Gluten free flexible. The burger was incredible. Good wine selection. Doug is the server you want.

Really cozy mellow ambiance great for breakfast or brunch. Had the corned beef hash crepes (they have gluten free crepes too). The shredded duck and duck fat appetizer was also delicious. Great spot to meet a friend for conversation without being too loud.

I really wanted to love Noisette. It’s been on my to-try list for awhile, not only because I love French food, but also because I have loved their dishes at all the festivals and events they’ve served food at. But Noisette was… fine. Not great, but not bad. The decor is cute. A little pink for me, but fine. My husband probably wouldn’t walk in here by himself. The service is great and the chef-owners are super nice, which makes this tough. One thing I don’t like is that there’s no bar seating. My husband and I often like to walk into restaurants during happy hour and sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. Sometimes I dine by myself (like I did here) — and then the lack of bar seating is even more uncomfortable. Only 5 cocktails on the menu — 3 of them gin based. I usually expect a little more from a cocktail menu at an upscale restaurant these days. The biggest thing for me was that the food was… fine. I admit, my opinion is definitely tinged by the lack of gluten-free alternatives. It’s always an issue with French restaurants: the apps all come with a baguette or a brioche or on a crepe or inside a pastry. Most places in Denver have done a bit better accommodating the huge number of gluten-intolerant people here (even if it’s just getting some gluten-free bread from another Colorado bakery). The gluten-free crackers they brought for the foie gras were NOT good — but I was not impressed by the $33 hard chunk of foie gras with super-tart sauce either (and I usually love foie gras) — but maybe it was the crackers. I should have gotten something else, but I think the endives were the only gluten-free option. The lobster main dish was really good — a whole lobster for $75 is ok pricing I think. I have had good lobster many places, though… so not sure I’d come back for this one? Total for just myself: 2 glasses of sparkling, foie gras app, lobster main, French-style cheesecake and espresso martini — $178.

Food and service were excellent, they were even able to ensure the whole meal was gluten free and safe for me. The interior is gorgeous and fun, but we found the music didn't match the atmosphere. They were playing basically club music, while the setting is more fantasy/ natural beauty inspired. Just felt like it reduced the ambiance.

We went for dinner this evening, Valentine's day, the food was fantastic though the portions were small. It was a fixed menu for all patrons, we choose the 5 course option. My wife is a sensitive gluten free celiac and the food was celiac accommodating and delicious. However, overall, we felt the service did not match the price. Multiple of our wine pairings were served after we had finished our course. I did not receive the course option I ordered, and once the service staff was questioned they stated they were out. Then multiple tables next to us whom were seated later received the dish. We did receive one specialty cocktail to make up for the inconvenience. Ultimately, we were charged about 333$ for a fixed menu dinner. Walking out we noticed all other two person parties were charged 317$ which left us with a super sour opinion of this place. Definitely will not return for in-service dining.

Fabulous Restaurant. Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared, beautiful presentation and delicious. The whole staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We all ordered different items and everyone was extremely happy with their choices. Two people in our party are gluten free and they loved their dinners too. The molten chocolate cake and creme brûlée capped off a perfect dinner.
