TAG, Denver
TAG restaurant, located in downtown Denver, combines Asian inspiration, Hawaiian roots and even some Mediterranean flare, along with a heavy dose of Colorado.
For his take on monkfish, head chef Troy Guard braises the fish tails and serves them with creamy popcorn polenta, charred green romanesco heads and a tomato sofrito spiced with herbs and tangy lemon zest.
“It’s a homey and satisfying plate that seems perfectly at ease in the dark and swanky restaurant quietly, waiting amid a roster of more glamorous creations,” according to a review by the chic alternative weekly Westword.
