TAG

Troy Atherton Guard's newest restaurant (and the first that is actually his) 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.
