Colt & Gray - Best New Restaurant in Denver

Celebrated my birthday not too long ago and decided to crash the happy hour scene on a bitterly cold Friday night at Colt & Gray. Here's what we sampled ...

- Crispy Pig Trotter with brown mustard aioli
- Housemade Duck prosciutto, HM pate, local goatsmilk blue cheese
- Mussels with green curry
- Bone Marrow
- Truffled Chestnut soup
- House Made Ravioli with fresh ricotta, guanciale, Hazel Dell wild mushrooms and arugula

Drinks included a custom elderberry bitters martini (the mixologist is a savant), and an impossible to find Great Divide Oaked Hades. Colt & Grey is pretty darn close to the restaurant I'd want to open if I had the courage and talent to do so - cozy, substance over style, exceptional attention to the customer, crafty wisdom applied to everything that hits your plate, and meticulous attention to flavor nuance.

We'll be back soon - first impression is that Colt & Gray is THE Best New Restaurant in Denver.
