The Hottest Restaurants in Denver Right Now, Fall 2024

"One of Aspen’s top après-ski spots now has an all-day sibling in LoDo’s Limelight Hotel, where it has retained some elements from its predecessor, Citizen Rail — sleek interior, dry-aging locker, live-fire cooking technique — while developing its own intriguingly bold style, especially evident at dinner. Recent examples include a composed salad of Campari-spiked tomatoes with black garlic cream, basil bavarois, and bee pollen garum; a savory tart featuring three squashes (spaghetti, kuri, and butternut), goat cheese mousse, and candied pepitas; and noodles made from sea scallop in a mushroom-shoyu broth with Dungeness crab and fermented black radish. Cocktails from the adjacent bar, still a happy hour go-to, skew seasonal too: the Night Court with 15-year Scotch, apple brandy, fir eau de vie, and maple, for example, is as autumnal as they come." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff
