We went out to the Range on Thanksgiving late afternoon for our meal.
The restaurant is located at the Renaissance Hotel's lobby. The Range and the hotel is situated in the former Colorado National Bank. Go down to the restrooms to check out the vaults....very cool and historic.
Two helpful hosts warmly greeted us upon arrival. Since there was a snowstorm earlier in the day, the host offered to secure our heavy coats; which they did.
Our server, Michael, promptly took our wine and appetizer orders. We shared a bottle of Malbec wine. The thin wine glasses were ideal and perfect for wine sipping.
We started with the field & stream charcuterie appetizer block. This was a unique starter (duck prosciutto, goat chorizzo, buffalo bratwurst, and salmon dip) with bruchetta toast, and hot mustard. This starter board was quite good & interesting.
I wanted to go meatless for my entree. I ordered the vegetable Sheppard's pie. So good. The "pie" is savory and rich Delicious carrots, onions, and potato clouds. My small party enjoyed their entrees. The holiday meal plan was perfect. The red wine made everything warmer, friendly, and elegant.
The lighting is perfect..dim, cozy, with perfect crayon colors (browns, prairie beiges, autumn leaves, burnt orange, sky blues, and some filed greens ).
The staff hit the right notes. They are all warm and polite. Our server Michael was impeccable...Friendly, funny, efficient, warm and polite. Thanks for a terrific evening Michael.
Kevin, the food and beverage manager, brought us our coats and warmly thanked us for coming in and bid a warm farewell.
Overall, a tasty and very memorable holiday meal. I will stop here for dinner again on my next visit to Denver.
