Woodie Fisher Kitchen & Bar

With so many great dining options in downtown Denver, Woodie Fisher is a must skip. We were guests at the Hilton Garden Inn which is attached to the restaurant and wanted to grab a bite after checking in. I ordered the grilled salmon with risotto and my fiancée had the patty melt with a side salad. The risotto and salmon were very bland. It seemed like the kitchen completely forgot to salt anything. We still ate because we were hungry after our travels. However, I couldn't eat all of the salmon because it was raw in the middle. The patty melt was also disappointing. The only thing with flavor in that sandwich was the peppers. Our server was not very warm, but did an okay job. I have a gluten sensitivity and they seemed to be knowledgeable when I asked about accomodations. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great! But back of house leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely not worth the $70 (we were overcharged on one of our cocktails also). I emailed the general manager, Susette, on Friday afternoon about our experience and as of Tuesday morning I haven't heard back.

One of the BESTTT burgers i’ve had that was 100% gluten free. At first, I wasn’t sure what to make of the place. It seemed like just another basic indie style restaurant, that was conventionally located next to my hotel. Upon my arrival, I learned my judgment couldn’t be any further from the truth. Once I was seated, I couldn’t help but notice most of their customers were locals, so that says enough about the quality of the restaurant- you would think since it was connected to a hotel that it would be more touristy. I even got confirmation from 3 of the tables nearby that Wooie Fisher was one of their top choices in the city. Now, with that being said, the only reason I am giving a 4 out of 5, is due to the service. Our waiter was a bit flustered- which I understand, we all have our days. But, she ended up having us pay the wrong tab, which was double what our bill was, so it was a bit of an inconvenience. Nevertheless, I will be back on my next trip to town.
