"Owned by the same family for the majority of its nearly 70 years in business, this special-occasion institution is located a short but scenic drive up Flagstaff Mountain, where it boasts spectacular views of the Rockies — and contemporary American cuisine to rival the landscape from chef Chris Royster. Though seasonal creations such as foie gras over black-pepper crepe cake or white asparagus panna cotta with green almonds, wood sorrel, and cured egg yolks are available a la carte, splurging on the former Chopped champion’s multicourse tastings is very much the point of a meal here — especially when paired with wines from the legendary 16,000-bottle cellar." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat
