Robert Tournier has found a new chef for Le Central, his longtime spot at 112 East Eighth Avenue. Laurent Loubot, a native of Burgundy, is now riding herd on a great all-French crew -- Mathias Rouvray, Fabien Ducerf, Sebastien Aubry and Joel Gaillot -- who've suffered through a pretty tough year. Loubot comes to Denver following stints as the chef at the French Consulate in New York and at Café Bleu in Greenwich, Connecticut (which is owned by Jerry Seinfeld).

Finally, after three months of lunches, cocktails, tapas and small-plate flirtations, the Pinnacle Club, high atop the Qwest Tower at 555 17th Street, is jumping into full dinner service. Chef Kevin Villalovos -- a Hyatt-trained and Hyatt-chosen top dog who's been with the hotel chain since 1994 -- is still doing small plates and tastings, but he's also added a full spread of entrees that include signature crabcakes, lobster tails, pan-seared black bass and prosciutto-wrapped chicken. Dinner's going to cost you, but the spectacular views of the Front Range are still free.
