"Eclecticism is the name of the game for the id est hospitality group (see also Brutø below), and this red-hot Berkeley spot plays it with panache. Come for caviar service and pét-nat bubbles; stay for Korean-inspired fried chicken and cocktails laced with everything from persimmon to Brazilnut; stay longer for the shaken chef rice and a nightcap at adjoining bar OK Yeah — and don’t detract from the experience for a second by worrying about how to define it." - Ruth Tobias
"A restaurant in Denver with a menu featuring 'Small Shareables,' 'Center Pieces,' and 'Accompaniments,' providing a vague sense of dish sizes." - Jaya Saxena
"A casual Denver spot that mixes playful, approachable dishes like pork ribs and cold sesame noodles with a small but notable caviar program: three options sold by the ounce, one of them priced at market rate, letting diners add a luxe course without moving into formal fine dining territory." - Jaya Saxena
"Plates fluted ribbons of chicken liver mousse on Texas toast topped with crispy tempura, pickled mustard seed, and strawberry vinegar, and treats the ingredient as a no-waste workhorse—using whole chickens with organs intact to incorporate byproducts thoughtfully into the menu." - Jaya Saxena
"High above Tennyson Street, Hey Kiddo is one of Denver's trendiest restaurants. From the third floor location to the eclectic menu, there is nothing typical about this hot spot. Chef Kelly Whitaker mans the stoves, taking full liberties with an ever-changing menu. There's something for everyone, with oysters, caviar, K-town fried chicken, shrimp toast, crudo and pasta dishes among the tempting options. Flavors and inspiration come from around the world, as in shaken beef that's as much fun as it is delicious. Tonnarelli tossed with asparagus, mushrooms and parmesan is hit with an Asian sauce for a winning dish, and the quirkiness continues through dessert, where rice cream with burnt banana can be topped with sancho, broken cone, lingonberry or caramel." - Michelin Inspector
