Urban Farmer Denver

"In keeping with the name, modern and rustic elements merge in the interior design of this anchor of the Oxford Hotel, setting the stage for a meal that likewise combines locally sourced ingredients, international influences, and steakhouse customs. Traditionalists could start with a Caesar, move on to the steak tasting — which includes three 5-ounce New York strips from different ranches — with a side of potato puree, then finish with fruit cobbler; nonconformists have options like fried pork belly in smoked shoyu vinaigrette with bánh mì slaw, a 20-ounce dry-aged bison porterhouse accompanied by roasted Brussels sprouts with golden beet puree and tapenade, and a dark chocolate–espresso cupcake with blood orange Bavarian cream for dessert." - Ruth Tobias, Josie Sexton, Gigi Sukin, Paul Albani-Burgio

"There’s plenty of merriment to be made at the Oxford Hotel’s lively steakhouse on Christmas Day: From 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., it’s serving up a four-course spread complete with cheese and charcuterie to start ($80 per adult, $40 per child under 12). Appetizers include salad with shaved vegetables and honey vinaigrette, seafood chowder, or short rib gnocchi; entrees range from porcini-rubbed prime rib with horseradish cream to salmon in shiitake broth with root vegetables to delicata squash stuffed with lentils, rosemary pistou, and sunflower puree. Family-style sides are also on offer — think roasted yams in maple-bourbon butter and glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon. Pumpkin pie or chocolate cake make for a grand finale. (Holiday homebodies should note that Urban Farmer’s also taking advance orders for Peking duck and prime rib takeout feasts for four.)" - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"In addition to charcuterie and sides like baked yams in maple-bourbon butter for the table, this LoDo steakhouse is dishing up a three-course prix fixe ($85 for adults, $40 for children under 12) that includes dishes such as chilled shrimp with spicy tomato jam, roast prime rib with blackened foie-gras butter, and chocolate cake with dulce de leche, as well as more traditional offerings, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Meat dishes at Denver’s newest steakhouse can easily add up. For a good overview of the offerings, a small group of diners could go in on the New York steak tasting ($75) and a few sides for $7 or $10. Those on a date could order just the table-side tartare or foie gras for $20. There’s also happy-hour and late-night beef sliders for $5." - Eater Staff, Josie Sexton
