Not everyone lives in RiNo. Or LoHi or LoDo or whatever other neighborhood hybrid moniker is fashionable right this second. Yet those seem to be the primary places getting a Certain Kind of Restaurant. This Certain Kind of Restaurant (or CKR, if you will) holds a monopoly in the Union Station neighborhood. It’s taking over LoHi and it’s settling in Capitol Hill.
The CKR is a lovely, inoffensive space that you seek out for date nights and expense account dinners and for impressing out-of-town guests and celebrating non-descript birthdays. There, you find solid food priced above $20 per entrée and creative cocktails with double-digit price tags. You happily slide over your credit card, though, because at the CKR, the food and drink are almost always thoughtfully conceived and reliably executed.
