[...] We’ve gone from Barolo Grill to Grand Lux Café and everything in between. Looking back, there have been some clear trends. We apparently love red meat: LoHi SteakBar, Deluxe Burger, and Bastien’s Steakhouse. We can’t ignore DOD’s love of pizza: Benny Blanco’s, Proto’s Pizza, and Fat Sully’s… And that was only in Denver! Let’s not forget our perennial favorite, Potager. [...]

Good point, Historiann. I have never really found it that difficult to hear Alastair when dining there (though he can be very loud!). Like you, we were seated by the window this time around as well but it wasn’t as crowded as it normally is, so that might account for it.

That said, I also like things a little noisy so I can speak about my neighbors without being overheard; noise can also have its benefits!

Blake, you sent me and my husband there for dinner last spring. It was good–but don’t you two (Blake and Alastair) find it extremely noisy? We were there on a Sat. night, so that may be the reason, but it was seriously difficult to have a conversation there even while seated at an intimate table for 2 in the front window.

I know that it’s not normal for married or partnered people to care about hearing each other talk. But we actually enjoy having conversations over dinner!

And the swordfish was indeed very good. The dessert was almost architectural in its complicatedness: so lovely both aesthetically AND grastronomically!

Ooh, that sounds lovely. I would have enjoyed the swordfish especially. And the dessert sounds heavenly.

My favorite misspelling is “Wanton soup.” (No mention of whether it had aphrodisiac properties.)
