Fodor's Expert Review Coohills

Classic French cooking is merged with modern techniques and regionally sourced ingredients at this chic, sprawling space that's filled with natural light and offers views of the mountains. Situated at the edge of LoDo and run by the Coohills, a veteran restaurateur couple, the eatery hosts local bands for free in the summer and has a year-round chef's counter, a large communal table alongside the open kitchen that's set up for tasting menus of 5 to 10 courses with optional wine pairings. Fans of authentic French fare can't go wrong with the regular menu, but check the blackboard for each day's more contemporary takes.
