My wife and I ate the Venice Restaurant in lodo following attending the matinee of Legally Blonde.
We had a wonderful meal. It is a restaurant you should have on your list when you are in Denver.
You can see my review on Yelp.
Denver Restaurant Week: One Month Away! – The Denver Post
Don’t forget to get out there and support the restaurants in the Denver area. This is a great time to get out and support local restaurants and explore places you haven’t been to yet.
I just need to give a shout out to Oskar Blues Brewery the makers of Dale’s Pale Ale.
I was watching an episode from a couple weeks ago of Men of a Certain Age. In that episode, the character played by Ray Romano brought Dale’s to his hotel pool to drink with his bookie.
Good product placement Oskar Blues! I just love Dale’s Pale Ale!
I don’t know what we were thinking tonight, but I met up with my wife, kids, and sister in-law in Cherry Creek North for dinner at the Cherry Cricket.
The problem is that Christmas is only a few days away and people were out spending money in the shops in Cherry Creek North and the mall at Cherry Creek.
My issue was with the parking garage between 1st and 2nd Avenues where Sears is located. I pulled into the parking garage, parked and then tried to get out. There was no signage and the only way out was through Sears.
Well when I got into Sears, it was worse than a than a casino in Las Vegas trying to get out of there. Even a clerk didn’t know how to explain how to get out of there. I eventually made it, but it was nuts.
It was then nuts trying to get back to my car. My wife’s car was in a different section of the building and they weren’t connected. I had to find my way back into Sears and back to my car. It was just ridiculous.
One thing wasn’t ridiculous was dinner tonight at the Cherry Cricket. The food was great and the service was exceptional. Check out my review.
Last thing, I know where I won’t be parking the next time we head down there. And it definitely won’t be around Christmas time.
My family and I went out to CB & Potts in Westminster on Friday night and the experience was not that great.
Basically the service was horrible and the wait was about 5 times what they said it would be. They tried to blame it on a party at a table taking too long, but they sat many parties before we were even seated without them trying to get us a seat to fit our party of 6.

It will be a while before I go back. Hopefully they will improve in the near future.
I am in San Diego for PRSA’s International Conference and for lunch today I went to Cafe 222.
This is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch and is not too far from the convention center. I just needed to get out of the hotel.
I wrote a review in Yelp. But if you are in San Diego and downtown, check out Cafe 222 for a good meal.
I happened to find Dale’s Pale Ale from Oskar Blues Brewery over a year ago and then discovered another one of their beers, Old Chub Scottish Ale soon after.
I am loving their beer and the can’t be more right, beer tastes better from a can.
It looks like this notion is getting out. NPR just had a story about it today.
I am beginning to see more-and-more brewers can their beer. It is easier to get around, it tastes better by keeping light from hitting the beer and oxygen getting in, and it is more environmentally friendly.
Oskar Blues is strictly canning beer and I have seen cans of Fat Tire, from New Belgium Brewing Company, floating around also.
Look for more beer in cans at your neighborhood store.
