"In addition to its regular modern Mediterranean menu, this longtime anchor of the Larimer Square dining scene has several specials in store for the occasion, including avocado dumplings with Dungeness crab; seared duck breast with rye berries, quince, and black trumpet mushrooms in lavender jus; and red wine-braised beef cheeks with garlic-chive späetzle and vanilla-glazed turnips. Reserve one of the few remaining tables." - Ruth Tobias
