Locals will tell you while we are well know for our elk, trout, Colorado lamb, beef, bison and even rattlesnake, our unexpected international fare is top notch. For example, our Latin fusion blends the best tastes from South America and the Caribbean. Seafood is flown in fresh daily from Mexico and both coasts so our sushi is also incredible. And our renowned chefs are consistently turning out innovative cuisine worthy of national attention. From tapas to tataki tacos at Zengo’s, one thing is certain, you won’t leave hungry.
