A few weeks ago I attended a celebration at Hotel Teatro (home of Restaurant Kevin Taylor , Denver's only four-star, four-diamond restaurant) for the building's 100th anniversary. The event was held in the Chancellor's Suite , which I learned was in fact the University Chancellor's office before the building was a hotel.
We were greeted by Kevin Taylor himself, who described his new pre-fixe six-course seasonal tasting menu, which I was thrilled to learn was priced at $50. It features French Foie Gras Torchon california hotel las vegas on Toasted Brioche with Sauterne Jelly and Anjou Pear; Crispy Chicken Wings in Truffle california hotel las vegas Risotto; a Chilled Heirloom Tomato Broth with Sheep s Milk Ricotta, Micro Cress and
Castelvetrano Olives; Colorado Striped Bass with Artichokes, california hotel las vegas Tomatoes, Coco Beans and Black Olive Caramel; Braised Pork Cheek; and, for dessert, a Salted Caramel and Chocolate Fondant with Crispy Pistachio Florentine. I'm hoping to make it there soon to try it. Chef Kevin Taylor was recently one of 51 chefs worldwide to participate in the Cakebread Cellars 25th annual
Harvest Workshop, the longest continuously-running winery california hotel las vegas culinary program of its kind in the Napa Valley. He told us that the new menu was inspired by this experience as well as his recent travels to Europe.
I also felt lucky to sample the very tasty Diamond-tini california hotel las vegas , a drink created in honor of the building's diamond anniversary that consists of sparkling sake, vermouth, a splash of bitters, topped off with an orange twist and a diamond-shaped ice cube. It will be served at Prima, also located in Hotel Teatro, for the rest of the year.
I was not surprised to learn that Hotel Teatro was #30 on the list of the top 50 U.S. Large City Hotels by Travel + Leisure as well as named one of 2011's Top Ten Hotels Worldwide for Service and Quality by Expedia - it is truly a great Denver destination.
