Nomad

Had been looking forward to trying this place for quite some time. They've been developing this area near Red Rocks for quite some time. It is a perfect location at the bottom of Origin Hotel Red Rocks. You are right off of I-70 and can easily run up to the mountains or down to downtown Denver! Beautiful atmosphere. The outside seating area is awesome. Decorated with string lights and firepits, it is a great environment to relax have a drink and good food. We sat inside which was also beautiful. The food was good but a bit over priced for what you were getting. Great taco options and flavors. Nachos were good as well. The service was a bit lack luster though. Overall positive experience. Looking forward to checking it out again.

I will start by saying I have NEVER felt the need to write a review, especially not a negative one, on a business before. However, with our experience at Nomad it is necessary. We were initially SO excited to try this place. Pictures and menu looked really great. We were in a large group of 9 people, all adults, and were looking to grab a bite to eat while we are visiting from Boston. We were playing cards while we were waiting to order, and we were asked by the Owner to please be quiet or take our group outside because they were having a meeting in the middle of the restaurant/bar and in the middle of the day. We are eating in a public bar and asked to be quiet? As a business owner myself, I treat my customers with the utmost respect because they are paying. The restaurant needs the customers MORE than the customers need the restaurant. As a result, we decided it would be best for us to leave, at which point we had only ordered appetizers and I attempted to pay for my drink and tip the waitress before leaving for what I already received, but they told me not to worry about it. We realized we left a phone inside, and when I went to retrieve it, the waitress fought me when I tried to explain to her that we didn’t leave because of her & I was sorry she had to bring the apps out (as it was not her fault we left, it was the owners) and she responded by attempting to remove my credit card from the back of the phone insisting she would ILLEGALLY be using my card to pay and REFUSED to give me my phone or card back until the owner came over and made her. She also was extremely immature and mocking me. My biggest complaint is the lack of respect for the customers, the customers are the people who KEEP THE BUSINESS RUNNING. As for food and location I have no complaints as we did not get a chance to eat our food. I hope the owner sees this, and thinks twice before treating a customer, who is PAYING, with such disrespect. Also the waitress deserves to be fired. Hope whoever sees this has a better experience than we did.

Significantly understaffed. One lone bartender to mix, wait, and serve 25+ customers. Took forever to order. My medium Nomad burger came quickly but was well done. Had to wait another 10 minutes to get the bartenders attention for the napkins and silverware that he forgot. True shoestring fries and the Juicy Freak ipa were great though. This pic was after the bar crowd left.

This place is awesome! Definitely go. We went to bid farewell to a friend who was moving away and stumbled upon this gem. The tacos are awesome especially the chicken tinga (2 veggie and 3 meat choices) and spicy (not that spicy) marg. Which ended up being the perfect ending to our already wonderful evening with friends. Vinny made sure we were taken care of. Carlos serenaded us with his amazing voice. The patio looks like so much fun and a great place to chill but unfortunately it was pouring rain. We loved it so much we went back for brunch the next morning... And again, a perfect way to start the day. Sarah and Vincent helped us cure our hangover with mimosas, Irish coffees, a burrito (went for the chicken tinga again bc of the previous experience), and a delicious handmade pastry. Christian provided us with some laughs while Carlos made a surprise late morning performance. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back after our next Redrocks event. ✌🏻

I went there thinking it would be a nice experience, truth is that when we got there the bartender didn’t even pay attention to us until I had to get her attention, then she didn’t greet us with a warm smile or a welcoming tone. We waited 25 minutes for the server to come get our order outside, took around 15 minutes to get some chips and salsa that we were considering to leave. Then she took our order, food came 40 minutes later, not a lot of people there to wait that long, she checked once on us and forgot to bring our check when we ask for it, when we left she didn’t even say thank you or have a great day. Food was expensive, small quantity in the tacos, salsas were not good because they were watery and low on flavor. I am not going back there again. Who made this review? a MBA who managed different restaurants and hotels in the past years. I would suggest checking management training and employees.
