French Bastille Day
Mile High Dining visited North Cherry Creek for the French Bastille Day. Once again, it was disappointing for food options. There were lots of vendors selling merchandise but just a couple with French food options. I had a crepe and a waffle( technically maybe not French). The crepe not only looked good but with lemon … Continue reading French Bastille Day

Not only there were oysters, … Continue reading Oyster Wulff

Nevertheless, we ate at the Braddock Public House, which is just across the street from US Steel. Once inside the restaurant, you order at the bar and it’s … Continue reading Braddock Public House
Morcilla
On my trip to Pennsylvania, we ate at Morcilla, a Spanish restaurant. The restaurant reservation company, Open Table, list it as one of the best restaurants in America. We certainly enjoyed not only the food, but also the good service. The food included artichokes, oxtail, cheese, beef tartare, crab, and asparagus. The fried artichokes are … Continue reading Morcilla

It has lots of outdoor seating and even play areas for children. Plan ahead to reserve one of … Continue reading Acreage
