modern culinary flavors.

tapas-style, before heading into regional favorites such as Colorado lamb or pan- roasted
venison.

5-10pm Sun, 5-10pm Mon-Thu, 5-11pm Fri & Sat; 32, 44 RTD) 'Shake N Bake Veal Sweetbreads'
gives you a sense of the bipolar, slightly pornographic approach to high dining here - this
is contemporary American cuisine with good humor, unparalleled execution and an airy
vibe. Somehow, the drinks list is even better.
