PB and C stopped into The Kitchen's newly opened Denver outpost just briefly last night. It's a sprawling place that still feels cozy and welcoming, yet upscale, thanks to wood floors, exposed brick, metal stools, an open airy layout with lots of room to walk between seating areas, and fancy chandeliers.
We were there just for a cocktail (PB had the terragin, an herbaceous tarragon and gin concoction. Sorry, don't have spellcheck on and not going to look up how to spell it) The waiter said there's also a gin cocktail with lychee in it, for fans of the sweeter side. Then we split a lemon tart, which we both thought was great. The crust was tasty almost like a cookie, and tart itself was tangy with a carmelized top, and it was topped with sort of a sour cream. ($7)
It's a fine dining-ish sort of place, Boulder style ... We got there late, so only the bar menu was available. The bar menu had options including a burger or beet salad for right around $11-13. Also smaller options like hummus, bruschetta, mussels. A fancy place with fancy people, no background music so you can easily carry on a conversation. A little blaring of Pearl Jam made escaped from the kitchen for about 20 seconds (to cheers from the bar!) before they turned it down again.
No idea what the hours for this place are! But they weren't kicking anyone out when we left around midnight. Take a peek through the big glass windows to see if you can still go in. Huge patio. Can't wait for it to open.
