They are from Houston so Papadeaux is out as far as desired food since thats all over Houston. I don't know desired food style that is left hanging on me so no raw fish for sure. Last year I just took them to Hacienda Colorado on Church Ranch and the Turnpike and Beau Jo's Pizza in Idaho Springs

I?d take them to the Viewhouse.

Or give them the full blown Denver experience and take them to Casa Bonita.

Yardhouse? The Lindeman's Framboise is only 2.5%, but makes a nice pairing with one of their steaks without getting too tipsy. Plus, it's a block or two over from 16th street, so they may get to witness a schizo, drugged out fight or freakout.

I?d take them to the Viewhouse.

Viewhouse has one of the best layouts and views in the metro area (we've been to the downtown Littleton one a few times), but their food has never really impressed me, especially when a kids dinner cost almost as much as a regular entre. Wife and I will go there for drinks, but we've scratched them off the list for food.

Undici is another good one. Not incredibly expensive. If you do pasta, definitely do the homemade variety.

Mmmmmmm Tacobe!

Bucca Di Beppo? I think that's another chain though.

So far its looking like View House for lunch, I might recommend they try Undici for their dinner one night.

La Lomas down town Denver is good. Tocabes has been mentioned. White Chocolate Grill at Park Meadows (get the tomato gin soup).
