La Merise

I wish I could give 10 stars. This is my favorite restaurant in Denver. I have eaten here over a dozen times and find any reason to do so. Every dish is delicious and perfectly made. The service is impeccable and every employee is respectful, charismatic, and punctual with their check ins. I couldn’t recommend a place to get amazing food more. La Merise is the standard for high quality dining in Denver, much more the country!!! You guys rock!!!

What a charming place! I came for lunch and I have been hosted by a very sweet, professional and friendly waitress and staff. Started by half a dozen oysters, continued with the amazing mussels and fries and finishing with the banana and chocolate crepe. Everything was fabulous, unfortunately I couldn’t try everything so I will definitely come back for more!! Thank you so much for everything.

First off, the service is fantastic. Very lovely servers, creating a pleasant ambiance for a busy place. In terms of food: Boeuf bourguignon is superb! The cheese platter is great. The trout was really good. French onion soup was nice. Yummy mousse au chocolat! Only minus a star because the steak frites didn’t really impress me considering it’s a simple dish and a staple in France . The steak didn’t have a good texture or flavour (didn’t feel filet mignon like and also was overcooked). And the French fries were just okay. For a French place in the USA, it is nice.

Very good but not quite great. A group of six of us went there for Denver restaurant week and all ordered off the pre fixe menu. Mussels à la Marinière, French onion soup, Chicken Croquettes, Trout Grenobloise, and Beef Bourguignon. Of these the stars were the chicken, beef, and French onion soup. These were rich, flavorful, well balanced and nicely plated. The fish and muscles were good but not outstanding. While well cooked they were somewhat bland. One thing I noticed about the muscles is that there were a few served that were not opened (don't eat). Sending out unopened muscles to a customer is a HUGE no no. It is not a big deal for the chef to pull out any unopened shells. The setting is very nice. Warm and inviting although a little loud for me. The service was excellent. Overall, for a pre fixe menu/price it was a good value. However, I think their normal prices would be somewhat high for the associated quality. But...It is Cherry Creek.
