Since being taken over by Asana Partners in 2020, Larimer Square has undergone some big changes, with more to come. But Rioja, opened by Beth Gruitch and chef Jennifer Jasinski in 2004, remains not just a staple on the block, but a winner in Denver’s ever-growing dining scene, with a bar that feels as hip as the day the restaurant opened, and satisfying Mediterranean-influenced fare for brunch, lunch and dinner.
