Its pristine setting on the banks of Clear Creek is reason enough to frequent this delightfully romantic restaurant in historic Golden, but chowhounds in the know also clamor for chef Chris Miracolo's globetrotting fare. The stylish interior features textured, butterscotch-colored walls, cozy banquettes, an intimate, cherry wooded bar, starched white linens, and boldly colored fresh flower arrangements strewn throughout both the dining room and bar. Offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the menu favors worldly, postmodern twists such as seared ahi tuna landscaped with mango, green beans, and red peppers in a lemongrass vinaigrette and braised veal shank plated with a mascarpone polenta cake and Vermouth stewed cabbage. The extensive, well-chosen wine roster teeters on expensive, but there are several pours by the glass, and the professional waitstaff is happy to cater to your every whim.
