NEXT CHEF TAKEOVER DINNER FRIDAY JUNE 13th

We are thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming Chef Justin Freeman as our next guest chef on Friday June 13th! Chef Justin will be representing his concept utilizing our beautiful venue to connect with all of you through cuisine.

Tickets are available via the link in our bio. Lock down your seat for an unforgettable 6-Course Menu and the opportunity to meet the man behind the food.

A little more about Justin and Monarch:

Justin is an accomplished chef with deep roots in the culinary traditions of seasonal and locally sourced cooking, stemming from his upbringing in the Hudson Valley. His early family dinners instilled a love for high-quality ingredients and creating memorable dining experiences. This ethos is carried into his professional career, which now sees him as the Executive Chef at Somebody People.

While Monarch doesn’t have a permanent location yet, Justin brings his vision to life through events and pop-up experiences across Denver. These gatherings reflect the warmth, hospitality, and thoughtful cuisine he aims to offer when his doors officially open.

Monarch is a neighborhood restaurant in the making—a place envisioned for casual weeknight meals and celebrating life’s biggest moments. With a focus on regional, seasonal ingredients, his open kitchen will craft flavor-driven, nourishing dishes that surprise and delight. Monarch aspires to become a timeless hub for connection, warm hospitality, and unforgettable meals, carving out its place in Denver’s vibrant dining scene.

Inspired by the monarch butterfly’s instinctual journey home, Monarch is designed to be a regular’s restaurant—a welcoming space for perfectly executed food and genuine community. His plans include an ever-changing menu of seasonal vegetables, sourdough pizzas, and rustic mains, all served in an inviting atmosphere built around connection and care. While he’s not open yet, he’s working diligently to bring this vision to life and looks forward to becoming a place you’ll cherish for years to come.

Join us on Thursday May 1 for our next Guest Chef Dinner with Chef Manny Barella. He will be serving up a special 6-Course MexItalian Menu for one night only! Book your table via OpenTable, link in Bio.

Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, Manuel (Manny) Barella took a leap to leave law school and enrolled in a culinary program to pursue his true passion.

His natural talent and drive led him on a journey that landed him in kitchens including the luxury Sea Island Resort in Georgia; five-star Napa Valley resort Calistoga Ranch; and Napa’s Michelin-rated Solage Resort. A taste for adventure drew him to Boulder, Colo., where he earned a position at James Beard award-winning and Michelin-rated Frasca Food & Wine as Chef de Partie before taking on the position of Sous Chef at Uchi in Denver and eventually Executive Chef/Partner at Bellota. In 2022, he was named a James Beard semifinalist in the Emerging Chef category.

Demonstrating his commitment to helping others, Manny serves as the President of the Hispanic Chefs Association in Colorado, dedicating his time as an ambassador of authentic Mexican cuisine and donating his talents to organizations focused on fostering culinary talent in the community.

In the spring of 2024 Manny was a contestant on Season 21 of Bravo’s Top Chef, one of the premier chef and cooking television competition shows, finishing in the top five among 16 of the brightest and best in the nation.
