Description

At first blush, Palettes is one of the coldest, least inviting rooms in the city. Everything that isn't white is gray -- gray-blue, silver-gray, slate gray -- and everything that isn't gray or white is art, which is worse. But the food is wonderful. Owner Kevin Taylor handles the big-picture stuff, but the chef who handles the day-to-day ops (which means lunch seven days a week plus Friday dinner), is a true craftsman, one who brings the skills and sensibility of a French/Italian/American blue-collar cook to the white-on-white world of fine-dining.

  • 2000 | Best dessert menu

    A haven for ladies who lunch, lawyers who linger (and drive up that billing) and bohemian types with lots of Daddy's money, Palettes makes a fine art of fancy food -- as well it should, since it's connected to the Denver Art Museum. But nothing on exhibit next door is more elaborate than Palette's desserts, each one a masterpiece featuring its own distinct palette of flavors. Both the light lemon-curd tart and the warm apple and marzipan tartlet with caramel ice cream pack plenty of fruit... More »
