Justin Cucci's 2009 game-changer, built inside an old Highland service station, that helped define Denver's field-to-fork identity. Seasonal, locally sourced, globally curious plates in a gloriously eclectic room. The weekend brunch is a Denver rite of passage.
Try: the seasonal, produce-driven small plates at brunch
Weekday happy hour Monday–Friday, 4–6 p.m., in the Highlands' old service-station-turned-farm-to-table room. Drinks run down to a few bucks — $3 well drinks, $4 house wines, a dollar off every draft — and the small plates (green chili duck taco, sweet potato fries, a Colorado lamb slider) hover around $4–7. A low-cost way to taste a serious kitchen before the sun drops behind the Front Range.Reveal and redeem inside the LocalTour app view.
