Named after Chef Quincy's niece, Madeline is a deeply personal project built around the people, places, and experiences that have shaped his approach to cooking. Located in Denver's former Fruition space between the Cherry Creek and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, the restaurant honors the warmth and intimacy that guests have long associated with the space while introducing a fresh perspective all its own.
Familiar Flavors, Reimagined
The menu is rooted in technique and precision but designed to feel approachable, with dishes that begin from familiar foundations and evolve in nuanced, modern ways. Drawing from contemporary American cuisine, Chef Quincy thoughtfully incorporates the techniques and flavors that have shaped his cooking, weaving in subtle Thai and Japanese influences that add depth, balance, and an element of surprise. The result is food that feels both comforting and unexpected.
Chef Quincy Cherrett
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Quincy Cherrett has spent more than a decade cooking in some of the Mountain West's most respected kitchens, including Colt & Gray, Death & Co., and Izakaya Den. Along the way, he developed a deep appreciation for ingredient-driven cooking, traditional from-scratch techniques, and the balance between precision and hospitality. His time in Jackson Hole and Denver exposed him to a wide range of culinary traditions, with Japanese and Thai cuisines leaving a lasting impression on his approach to flavor.
In 2021, Quincy launched his first independent concepts, 22 Provisions and later Eloise, where he began refining the culinary perspective that would ultimately become Madeline. His first brick-and-mortar restaurant is the culmination of years spent developing a style that feels both personal and approachable: refined cooking grounded in technique, playful curiosity, and a genuine love of hospitality.
Built by Family
Madeline is a long-standing family dream built on Chef Quincy’s vision and talent. From the very beginning, we set out to create a restaurant our family would want to return to again and again. A place where exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and comfort come together.
Hospitality has always been woven into our family. Years spent growing up in and around hotels taught us that the most memorable dining experiences aren't just about what's on the plate - they're about how people feel from the moment they walk through the door.
Named after Chef’s niece, Madeline remains a reflection of our family and the values that inspired it. We approach every detail with the same care we would want for the people we love most. We hope it becomes a place where you, too, gather with your people.
