Frommer's Review
Despite its dramatic Napoleonic decor -- antiques dating from 1700s include a dispatch case and a pair of dueling pistols that may have belonged to Napoleon -- the Palace Arms' cuisine is a combination of traditional American, new American, and classical French. To begin, the sherry-braised rabbit loin is a special treat, or maybe you'd rather have the superb Caesar salad, prepared tableside for two. For an excellent main course, try the Kobe New York Strip, butter-poached Maine lobster, or pan-seared loin of Colorado lamb. There are a number of tasty "heart healthy" items on the menu, and the wine list has received Wine Spectator's "Best of" award.
If you're short a dinner jacket, try the Ship Tavern, also in the hotel (tel. 303/297-3111), with a similar, less expensive menu. The lunch menu at the Brown's third restaurant, Ellyngton's, has some great gourmet sandwiches, and is also the site of the Brown's luxuriant Sunday brunch.
