Restaurant Week 2011 Part 1

My favorite 2 weeks of the year has started! Denver Restaurant Week which started yesterday and runs through March 11th offers 3 course menus for $26.40 from over 200 restaurants from downtown Denver all the way to Boulder.  Most of the popular places are booked solid but i can certainly suggest a hidden gem if you are looking for one.

Edge- DRW Menu

Located in the new Four Seasons hotel downtown, Edge is a reason to brave the horrific opera traffic on a saturday night.  I would probably never eat here as the appetizers ($12-18) and entrees ($25-45 would make a large dent in my wallet so restaurant week at Edge is an absolute steal!  The overall meal was delicious but the star was most definitely the appetizer: pan seared (JUMBO) scallops with brandy apples, huckleberry gastrique and mache salad.  The two scallops were seared perfectly and i can think of a few people who would certainly enjoy those.  A steakhouse that can do seafood successfully wins a place in my books.  Too bad i forgot my camera....

When they bring your check, they bring you a piece of a cow shaped piece of dark chocolate on a stick to sweeten the deal

Plate Score: 9
