A couple of nights ago I had dinner in the vault at the Broker. For those of you that have not been there two of the main dinning rooms at the Broker downtown are actually located in a circa 1900s bank vault. The sheer intrigue of this location is unmatched in Denver dining unfortunately this is about the last good thing I can say for the place. Our waiter seamed to be preoccupied with a conversation he was apparently having with another waiter and left us to feel as though we were an inconvenience to him by being there. The legendary complementary shrimp bowl came out and reeked of bad bait that had sat out too long on a hot day. My steak was overdone which compromised the quality of what should have been Prime beef. The apparent manager of the location walked by our booth a couple of times but she never checked in to see how our meal was going. There is no doubt that in its heyday this would have been the place to have been. If it was given a new staff both on the floor and in the kitchen that cared about this once great landmark of Denver dining I am sure they could turn it around. For now I would say it is a okay place if you want to have a glass of wine in a cool location however dont expect the service to be great and you could get far better food at many Denver locations.
Pros: You can eat in a Safe Vault!
Cons: Food Quality was Poor, Service Was Terrible
