The building once home to a Denver fine-dining staple is getting a new face in the kitchen.
Quincy Cherrett, executive chef at Izakaya Den and Sushi Den, will make his solo brick-and-mortar debut with Madeline. The spot, named after his newborn niece, will feature “technique-driven, seasonal cooking” in the former Fruition space along Sixth Avenue in the Country Club neighborhood.
Cherrett took over the remaining 11 years on Fruition’s lease for the 1,100 square feet last month. Alex Seidel, who opened the farm-to-table spot at 1313 E. Sixth Ave. in 2007, closed it this past January.
“Taking over a space so closely associated with Fruition and Alex Seidel is incredibly humbling,” Cherrett said in an email. “Madeline isn’t an attempt to replicate that experience, but it does share some common ground, like a commitment to ingredient integrity, thoughtful cooking and a dining room that feels warm and welcoming.”

During the pandemic, Cherrett made his solo debut with 22 Provisions, a food truck that served East Coast-style sandwiches. In 2023, it moved into a stall at Avanti Food and Beverage in LoHi. That closed a year ago, but he opened the bistro-style spot Eloise at Avanti this past spring before it shuttered in October.
