"You can’t go wrong with any restaurants from the Fine Dining Restaurant Group, a local collective headed by chef Gavin Fine, who helped put the region on the national dining map when he opened Rendezvous Bistro in 2001. The Kitchen is one of his most dynamic endeavors, with stunning contemporary architecture that serves as an apt backdrop to Fine’s modern cuisine, which is decidedly different from the bison and elk-laden menus that populate the area. Plates include whitefish ceviche with sweet potato puree, purple onion-cilantro criolla, and plantain chips; diver scallop crudo with caviar, puffed rice, and yuzu; sticky rice tamales with braised short ribs and mole rojo; and red deer with smoked sweet potato puree, cherry agrodolce, and pistachio breadcrumbs." - Matt Kirouac
