Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan, or Cosmo, as it is known locally, is in the recently renovated Hotel Columbia, near the gondola. The menu is Asian-influenced and meat-heavy, with starters like crispy wild salmon nori roll and boneless beef short ribs and inventive entrées such as braised Colorado lamb and crab-stuffed chicken breast. The dining room is stylish but unpretentious, with a huge copper topped wood bar; the downstairs wine cellar can be hired for private dinners of up to thirty-two guests.
