Work & Class’ mantra is “Food for People Who Can Eat.” Considering the fact that our mission here at The Infatuation is to write “Restaurant Reviews for The People,” we had a feeling we were going to like this place from the start.
Ever since Work & Class opened, the place has been packed with all types of people from Denver who most definitely know their way around a table full of food. The Latin-influenced menu is broken into three main sections: meat, sides, and breads, and is best designed for sharing and sampling among a group. Things like roasted goat and cochinita pibil come in quarter, half, or full pound servings, and will arrive at your table in a silver bowl. The idea is for you to get creative and customize your experience - order some tortillas, some Colorado lamb, maybe some fried sweet plantains (definitely some fried sweet plantains). But if that’s too much responsibility, they’ll happily suggest some meat/side/bread combinations. Just don’t be afraid to let loose a little bit. Embrace the goat.
With a small space and no reservations, waits at Work & Class can quickly escalate, but we like to drop in at the end of Happy Hour and ride on into dinner. Eating at the bar is another smart way to avoid 45 minutes between you and your meal, and the experience is exactly the same. As a matter of fact, we’re sure you’re going to like this restaurant no matter where you sit. As long as you’re a person who can eat.
