| - Let me start my review with a confession. The only thing that I could possibly dislike about Beckett's Table is that it's not in Denver.
Loves:
- The comfy, cozy layout, nice big open kitchen where you can watch all the action, and the rustic yet sophisticated table setting with copper napkin rings, short and stocky water glasses, and vases with a simple wild flower.
- Everything on the menu. It was very difficult to choose from all the comforting stick-to-your ribs goodies like country pate, beef bourguignon, short ribs, matzo ball soup, chicken and dumplings......wow.
- Five stars for the appetizers. Roasted veggies were spot-on delicious, the new spin on mac and cheese was refreshing to see, and loved how the rock shrimp enchiladas were served in a tiny cast iron skillet.
- If you remember anything I say, save room for dessert! I sampled a bite of everything, and my faves were the mini s'mores with chocolate covered bacon, the pear/blueberry cobbler served in a little pot, and creme brulee.
- Again with the bathrooms, Arizona. I dug the sliding doors, and the glass bricks which almost made you feel like you could look into the neighboring restroom. Is that weird?
- Order an adult bev, my friends. Your mouth will thank you.
- Even though we had a very large party, the waitstaff handled us with ease and I don't remember a mishap
Then why not five stars, LL Cool L, you say? It was almost, almost a five. Nearly everything was spot on except that I fumbled on ordering my main, the daily salmon special. It was definitely outshined by the atmosphere, drinks, apps, other people's dishes, and dessert.
Note: We were lucky enough to snag rock star parking, but just be aware that it's a strip mall setting so you may have to hunt for a spot. Weird, right?
