Our first experience with them and both my wife and I were very very happy with everything as we were celebrating our one year of marriage. The services start with bubbly wine for the occasion and then we ordered our appetizers (mussels, charred shoshitos and finally beef and broccoli, all very good) then the steak we split. Everything delicious and great service! We will be back! Thanks folks!

Exceptional. Josh was our server. From the minute we walked in, everything was wonderful. Josh and his team were personable and knowledgeable. Really took care of us from the wine selection through packing our left overs. Food was delicious. Truly 5 star experience.

Excellent dinner at the plimoth! We arrived early and our table was ready immediately. We were asked about food sensitivities by the host and special menus were provided. Our server skillfully guided us through the menu with advice on serving sizes for our table of 6. We shared a variety of starters and one of each of the mains. Each plate was beautiful and delicious. In the best sense possible, there was no signature dish as the whole table brimmed with culinary abundance. We all felt the meal was high quality and much above the usual restaurant fare. Highest recommendation and worth a trip off the beaten path.

About the restaurant

Satchel's on 6th.

Named after the owner’s youngest son, Satchel’s on 6th is the place to eat and drink. Our Chef has created a contemporary, eclectic, New American neighborhood menu using seasonal ingredients that results in refined flavors and inspired plates. We've put our heart and soul into this place and it gives us great pleasure to serve you.
Warm wood tones and exposed brick highlight this cozy, 50 seat space that has made its home on East Denver reinvigorated 6th Avenue. Says Casalini, Our goal is to become the best go-to, indispensable restaurant in the neighborhood. Period. End of story.

It was great. Food was well made, very much a locals place. Service was spotty, we were offered other people’s food 3 times before we even ordered. All in all, I would go again

About the restaurant

Community has always been an ever-evolving and ever-changing concept, but recently we decided to just dig in a bit and settle down. That’s the atmosphere and space we aspire to provide. A place for gatherings, a quick drink or snack, a rendezvous with an old friend; we are the neighborhood spot that hopes to feel like a second home to all of our friends.

We ventured North and it was well worth it! The service is outstanding, the food delicious and creative (short rib grilled cheese is amazing). The vibe is lively and welcoming. Highly recommend.

It’s my second time back in two weeks! It’s my local place to go for dinner or happy hour. Our food was delicious as usual! The portions are pretty good too! We had salmon and shrimp and grits! Sabrina was our waitress. I had met her when she first started at the Lone Tree location! She was not our waitress then but we chatted a few minutes when it wasn’t too busy! Sabrina is very kind and still professional! We truly had a nice experience! I’m sure we will be back sooner than later!
