Say goodbye to the Populist tonight as chefs Theo Adley and Russell Stippich serve up the final dinner at the pioneering RiNo eatery that charted new ground on the northeast end of Larimer Street when it opened in 2012. The restaurant is changing hands and a new concept will soon take its place; cheers to a great seven-year run.
If you're looking for a country club atmosphere but don't want to shell out for a membership (or perhaps you just would never join the kind of club that would accept you as a member), Ebert's Terrace fits the bill. Ebert's just opened at the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club, a members-only facility, although the restaurant itself is open to the public. So even if you won't be able to golf in your cutoff jorts, you can still sit down for dinner from a menu touting Colorado ingredients. The name comes from Frederick J. Ebert, a civil engineer who drafted the first map of the Colorado territory in 1862. Ebert's is now open from 10 a.m. to 10 pm. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
