Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we will offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. It’s the last long weekend of summer, and I’m thinking back on restaurants that opened — with all of the buildup, those first bites and, hopefully, time for return visits. There are three that stand out to me clearly for their respective grand entrances, not because they were necessarily big or flashy, but because they were so welcoming and solid. Food, service, ambience: These three have it all, for my tastes.
