The corporate ownership is reflected in the absolute consistency of the offerings here — salads, sandwiches, steaks — served up perfectly every time. The open dining room is convivial, and you’re sure to see at least three […]
Over nearly eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar into burger institution, even as Cherry Creek has gentrified around it. The Cricket is beloved by chefs, musicians, Creekers, night creatures and neighbors for its smoky, char-grilled patties and the lengthy list of toppings with which you can personalize them, from sauerkraut to […]

Over its almost eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar to burger institution, consuming adjacent Cherry Creek storefronts along the way.

The menu at Cherry Hills Sushi Co. almost seems to be missing a page or two, so short and focused is chef Bradford Kim’s roster of hand-rolled temaki and meticulous sashimi. But therein lies the brilliance of the austere little sushi bar: Perfection is captured through simplicity. A pour of rainwater-clear sake alongside a series […]
The Cherry Tomato is a comfortable place with cracked-tile floors and rough brick walls, a bar crowded with locals and a young, eager staff. The cooks work in an open foxhole of a kitchen, preparing a menu that’s simple and ageless: homemade minestrone, caprese salad, pasta marinara, amatriciana and Alfredo, two kinds of lasagna, and […]

And Chez Maggy, which opened inside the Thompson Denver hotel in February 2022, has delivered. The butter is so fancy that it […]
Chez Thuy’s menu is a history lesson told in food, the room a casually shabby clearinghouse of a thousand spices, the board reflecting a mingling of the French and Vietnamese obsessions with dining. It’s a family place, friendly and welcoming to regulars and newcomers alike, with enough variety – pho, stir fries, curries, grilled meats […]
This restaurant has gone through some changes since it opened in 2002 as Venice. For one thing, it’s no longer called Venice – owner Alessandro Carollo renamed it Chianti, did a little redecorating, and changed the menu to match the name. What hasn’t changed are the crowds: Chianti is still packed from open to close.
Luanne and Joe Margotte opened this joint well over a decade ago with the idea of transplanting a few hundred square feet of Chicago in the fertile soil of metro Denver. The game on the radio is the Cubs or the Bears; at the counter is a stash of Fannie May candies, boxes of Salerno […]
