Colt & Gray
Denver, Colorado
Some places specialize in local ingredients. Some specialize in complete, nose-to-tail utilization of everything they cook. Colt & Gray does both. This locally-owned and -operated spot serves high-quality, upscale fare — think sautéed sweetbreads, pan roasted, bone-in ribeye, and glazed duck breast — alongside terrific small plates, cheese platters, and charcuterie. As you might expect, the wine menu is impressive, but might be outclassed by the cocktails, which are inventive, crafted with house-made bitters, and are typically themed — so get there soon, before the Arrested Development-inspired Nevernude is no more.
