240 Union Restaurant

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:09:01 -0600

Longevity is an important word in any restaurateur’s lexicon. Every house wants to see its ten-year anniversary in the rearview; most never get there. But 240 Union — the New American outpost founded in 1989 by Michael Coughlin, Noel Cunningham and chef Matt Franklin — is still going strong, because this restaurant has never just […]

Adobo

After a head-on motorcycle accident derailed his career in finance, Blaine Baggao re-evaluated his professional path, ultimately launching Adobo in 2016 as a food truck that combines his New Mexican and Filipino roots. Its first brick-and-mortar is an expansive space that hosts live music and serves food into the late-night hours, with a menu of […]

Centro Mexican Kitchen

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:26:58 -0600

Not only is Centro a beautiful restaurant, a casual restaurant and an undeniably cool restaurant with a bar that pours some stiff drinks, its food is good, smart, original and stubbornly uncompromising. It’s nominally a Mexican restaurant, with a menu listing bocaditas of chips and salsas and rellenos; simple carne asada and enchiladas and carnitas […]

Cork House Broker Restaurant

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:29:43 -0600

After three decades of good work, Tante Louise finally faded from the Denver restaurant scene a few years ago. Enter uncle Ed Novak (from the Broker restaurants group), who renamed the place the Cork House after longtime owner Corky Douglass and turned the former classical Euro-French palace of haute into a comfortable, casual wine bar […]

Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:51:31 -0600

Hapa Sushi is essentially a fusion restaurant, offering sliders, nachos and Fuji-apple-and-bleu-cheese salads on the one hand, poke don, kanpyo maki and a small spread of sashimi on the other. It caters quite deliberately to rookies, actually naming a section of the menu “Beginner Sushi Rolls,” which is followed by “Intermediate” and then flows right […]

Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:26:49 -0600

The Denver outpost in this small chain aims squarely at the middle range of foodies, relatively adventurous eaters who want something better than Happy Meals and cheeseburgers when the family eats out. And Ling & Louie’s delivers with a hip dining room and decent food that includes Americanized versions of Thai, Japanese, Cantonese, Shanghainese and […]

Opal Restaurant & Lounge

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:10:59 -0600

In the afternoons, you might have Opal all to yourself — which means all the more offerings for you. The laundry list of specials includes two-for-one deals on nigiri and hand rolls, two-for-one hot sake, four-dollar martinis, three-dollar champagne, big Kirins for just $2.50 — and the incongruous dollar Coronas. Don’t ask why, just enjoy. […]
