Fodor's Review:

The decor may be understated—blond-wood chairs and buff-color walls—but chef Bruce Yim's contemporary cuisine is anything but. He uses the freshest ingredients available, so the menu changes several times each season. You might find coriander-rubbed venison, seared Hawaiian ahi, or a Colorado lamb trio of rib chop, bacon, and lamb shank ragout. Pair these entrées with one of the hundreds of wines from the restaurant's award-winning cellar. Leave room for luscious desserts such as hot sticky toffee pudding cake.

This place was the best dinner we've ever had!! The flavors were spot on. The service was friendly and professional. I love the hip feel of the bar. Great hang spot for the uber-wealthy. The highlight of our vacation.
