The restaurant offers 'Colorado Fusion' cuisine, crafted from fresh, local produce and incorporating cooking styles from the world over. Your fusion meal starts with offerings like buffalo carpaccio, mussels and chorizo and lemon asparagus bisque, among many others. You can then move on to mains like Thai BBQ rack of Colorado lamb, huitlacoche salmon and queso fresco stuffed chicken. You can also pick something from the wine selection to complement your meal.

The restaurant offers three ever-changing entrees, which usually include steak, seafood or southwestern fare. Saturdays feature chamber music. Reservations are strongly urged.
