"An open secret in Cherry Creek, the cozy courtyard flanking Richard Sandoval’s Pan Latin refuge in the Hotel Clio is prime date-night real estate. Here’s a place to cuddle up discreetly over passion fruit margaritas and Oaxacan Old Fashioneds alongside smoked swordfish dip with plantain chips, blackened tuna tacos with poblano tartar sauce, and lomo saltado in cumin demi-glace and sesame oil. (Or come for brunch, when bottomless mango mimosas and shrimp-and-corn enchiladas await.)" - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias
