The Tavern

Frommer's Review

Authentic Toulouse-Lautrec lithographs on the walls and knotty pine furniture and paneling mark the Tavern, open since 1939, as a restaurant with unusual ambience. In the front dining room, a four-piece ensemble follows piano music nightly -- guests are welcome to take a turn around the dance floor between courses. The quieter garden room, with luxuriant tropical foliage, gives the feeling of outdoor dining without being outdoors. Service in both rooms is impeccable.

Many selections are prepared in the restaurant's stone grill, and the emphasis is on fresh ingredients and classic cuisine. The lunch menu features changes seasonally, but typically includes steaks, gourmet burgers, crab cakes, and a variety of sandwiches and salads. Dinners are more elaborate: Choose from slow-roasted prime rib, filet mignon, Colorado brown trout, or roast chicken. All entrees come with a selection of homemade breads.
