Has anyone been? Is it any bigger? Do they have any of the same dishes? Thu Jan 17 07:38:57 -0800 2008 21441 ColoradoFun 1 3304699 They've been working on that space for a long time. Last spring while it was already under construction one of the staffers told me they envisioned it as a place where people could hang out and drink wine and eat apps (and it would give people a place to sit while waiting for one of the few tables at Z Cuisine), but since the two rooms weren't connected, they hadn't sussed out how to handle that. I guess they decided that it made more sense to just go with the new space and ditch the old one. I haven't been to the newly-reopened A' Côté space yet, but their website http://www.zcuisineonline.com/ has a menu posted at http://www.zcuisineonline.com/English/Food_Wine/Menu.html for last Friday the 11th and it looks similar (and very good), although I don't see the cassoulet.

Still haven't been there; really look forward to it. Fri Jan 18 08:17:19 -0800 2008 3304699 11106 tatamagouche 1 3309267 I heard this today. So sad. That was one of our favorite places and a big part of the appeal was that idiosyncratic space. The closing of Z Cuisine also negates the name of the new place, sinc A Cote means "next to." Next to what?
