When Lim?n opened last July, it did so without the opening-night fireworks that have become rather customary for Denver's big addresses. But this was by design. What looked like one of those open-the-doors-and-pray scenarios was actually orchestrated inside and out by Kate LaCroix from Dish Publicity, and it worked amazingly well considering that the only thing more difficult to find than a succinct definition of chef Alex Gurevich's Novoandino cuisine was an open table during Lim?n's first few weeks. Granted, Lim?n is small, but its debut was one of the most surprising crushes of the year. And now, nine months into a very good year, Lim?n is expanding -- which is good news for the entire dining scene, since it shows that a smart idea can pay off.
