Restaurant Kevin Taylor Review

Elegant doesn't do justice to this restaurant's dining room, a classy, soothing space done in tones of gold and hunter green. Exclusive upholstery, flatware, and dishes add to the upscale attitude, as does the formal service style and a top-shelf wine list. The contemporary menu has an updated Mediterranean bent underscored by French techniques, with such classics as roasted lamb with sweet bread fricasee and roasted lobster tail with a foise gras emulsion. The tasting menu, geared to theatergoers heading to the Denver Performing Arts Complex a block away, provides a rare chance to try chef Taylor's eclectic creations, and the stone-lined wine cellar makes for intimate private dining.

    foodie from zanesville

    By the time I dined at Restaurant Kevin Taylor, I had eaten at Sushi Sasa and Mizuna's. I was STUFFED! But I had to try another (multi-course) tasting menu as I am totally without good food here in this part of Ohio! It was here that I decided to part with my steak tartare virginity status as I could tell from the ratings, staff professionalism, decor, and prices of the restaurant that this would be the best place to experience this dish. I was right. The sommelier was superb with his recommendations. The wait staff was punctual without being intrusive; friendly without losing their air of professionalism. As I had ordered the tasting menu, the chef served me the best, but I would have liked to have seen him/her dare new ideas outside of the prescribed menu. Because of this, the restaurant had more of a corporate feel than the personal touch of the previous two restaurants. (And, I think I would have enjoyed it more had I not eaten so much=well the two nights before.) The atmosphere was moderately pretentious, but its location, I think, requires that sort of thing being so close to the theatre. I did have lots of elbow room which I prefer. If I lived in Denver, I would definately return to RKT for a special evening out with my husband.
