Description

Troy Atherton Guard's first restaurant is also his best -- a wild culinary thrill ride through some of the more extreme realms of the fusion canon. Guard is a talented chef, working right at the top of his game, and the crew that he has backing him does an excellent job of translating his very distinctive cuisine for the crowds that pack this Larimer Square restaurant every night. If you can manage it, get a seat upstairs. But even a night spent in the basement can be made tolerable by an interesting cocktail list and fantastic apps from TAG's kitchen.

Guard's infatuation with aquatics spans the world, and he embraces a universe of sea creatures that you rarely find on Denver restaurant menus. To wit: South African black ruff, a blunt-snouted species... More »

  • 2010 | Best Fusion Restaurant

    Troy Guard's TAG, which he launched last May in Larimer Square, swaggers one of Denver's brashest border-crossing kitchens -- a kitchen that slants toward the other F-word. So what? Guard is a master of multiculturalism, and his menu, which is full of playfully modern dishes that usually erupt into something wondrous, is smart, hip and approachable. He sets off his flash-seared hiramama with pricks of jalapeños and Pop Rocks in a basin of white soy and yuzu; creates his own... More »
