Embarking on the adventure of exploring new restaurants during Denver’s Restaurant Week is a culinary journey filled with meeting friends and discovering new venues. This week is the Fort in Golden offering its own unique menu showcasing the restaurants expertise.

Favorite Breakfast place with a view.
Currently a favorite breakfast eatery is the City Park Tavern and we ventured to the lunch menu. During the week of travel – the quest is for a really good Rueben sandwich. It is an adventure worth undertaking. Thick slices of corned beef with layered sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese and thousand Island dressing – grilled to perfection on Rye bread. Each taste is a blend of savory, tangy and creamy flavors. The quest has lead from Diners, specialty shops, and finally to City Park Tavern. While the Rueben is piled high with turkey instead of corned beef, the dressing and melted cheese is a twist on a really good Rueben. The quest still continues for the exceptional, which is sure to satisfy cravings and leave you longing for no more.

Traveling in Omaha, one can find a variety of delights. I still look for the 3 main criteria: what’s on the plate, atmosphere in the restaurant and service. We tried the classic Steakhouse in Old Market arts district. Omaha Prime is an upscale dining experience with a premium menu. If your seeking a balance between quality and cost, Omaha Prime local flavor did not disappoint. One found the range of prime portions suiting to different preferences. The presentation of dry aged local beef rolled out was the first introduction to the menu. Tomahawk, known for its impressive size and long bone is substantial and suitable to share option, often for special occasions. On the other hand is the petite and tender cut fillet , a non share portion and if cooked perfectly offers insight to who is working the broiler. One can surmise if Petite filet is perfect one can work its way up to the tomahawk … with a guarantee it will also be cooked to perfection.
