The scale here works in your favour for special occasions: smaller rooms mean fewer tables, which translates to less noise and more attention from the floor. If you're after the kind of dinner where conversation is the point, the physical format suits that. It's not the place for a large group celebration — the room size and the intimate layout are better matched to two or four people. For a milestone dinner in Denver where the setting should feel considered rather than cavernous, duo's spatial profile is a reasonable call.
