Milk & Honey Bar-Kitchen

In the summer of 2015, Larimer Square added another high-end option for diners: Milk & Honey Bar-Kitchen. Old-timers might remember chef-owner Michael Shiell as the name behind Michael’s of Cherry Creek, which had a long run in the '90s. But there’s nothing old about Milk & Honey. Located in an elegantly remodeled subterranean space across from Bistro Vendôme, it feels a world away, whether you sip wine in the European-style bricked-in courtyard or inside, in one of the sleek white-leather banquettes. The name refers to the Promised Land, and this is indeed a place of indulgence, offering everything from oysters to foie gras bonbons dipped in cashew brittle to Asian-accented fish.
