Baur's Ristorante in Victory Amer Grill Space

We drove past a shiny new Ristorante sign on the former Victory American Grill space last night when leaving the DCPA. Turns out to be a renaissance of Baur's Restaurant with a Mediterranean twist. Haven't been there. Don't know the prices. But it's another downtown option. It's at 1514 Curtis Street.

    At Baur's for lunch yesterday (12/17/07)--sorry to report that it was inexcusably bad. The "chicken club sandwich" (at $9 not cheap) was two slices of stale (almost inedibly so) bread, a chunk of dry chicken, a strip of bacon (the only good thing about this), and a postage-stamp (literally) sized piece of lettuce. I couldn't complain because I was being treated by a business associate--otherwise I would have politely objected to such a poor product. I noticed that my companion ate little of her huge, greasy burger. Very disappointing, I'm sorry to say, for the bearer of this fine old Denver name.

      "Huge, greasy burger" sounds promising to me. :-) Maybe we just need to give them time to settle in and figure out what they want to be.

        At least at dinner, I think they probably "want" to be Italian or Mediterranean, or why else would they call themselves a "ristorante"? I

      I guess the owner was also the founder of Quiznos. Its not a bad location and a beautiful building. According to an RMN article it is named after a candy shop and restaurant that closed down 40 years ago.

      I don't really get it- its apparently an Italian themed restaurant with a somewhat German sounding name, named after a candy/soda shop that closed down 40 years ago that probaly 80% of the people in denver have never heard of? I wish them luck but it just seems odd to me.

      It is also a little confusing since there is also a Brauns bar and grill near the Pepsi Center. I guess the names are diffrent enough though.
