Suzy our server immediately changed her attitude towards us when my friend request a dish on the menu w/o most of the ingredients. She has Chari Malformation 1, which isn’t her fault. The cooks messed up her order not once but twice. Suzy didn’t ask if we wanted to split the bill then seemed annoyed when we asked her to. Our friend had to wait for her food twice while my other friend and I were already eating because we didn’t want our food to get cold. The food was excellent but the service could’ve been better.

Super disappointing to have such a well known restaurant in the Denver area move so slow during a big event. While I understand concerts and sporting events make the restaurant busy, I don’t appreciate the lack of urgency from the staff. After seating us 25 minutes after our reservation, food and drinks took another 40 minutes. I would hope a restaurant in such a high traffic area would be equipped for a big rush during big events. So sad because we normally love the Rio!
