Denver Restaurant Week: Harry's
I started this 2020 Denver Restaurant Week at Harry's at the Magnolia Hotel. They had a $35 3-course meal with $20 wine pairing that covered the salad and entree.
The beet carpaccio had the richness of fig and goat cheese with the bright flavors of orange. The salad was a great start to the meal. I'd order this as a meal itself!
The flank steak was perfectly prepared. The outside was crisp and the center was perfectly pink. It melted in my mouth and was tender enough to cut with a fork. The edible flowers on the plate were a really nice touch. The rosti potato (essentially a potato pancake) was well seasoned. The earthy mushrooms went well with the rich steak and chimichurri.
The other option was:
Alamosa Stripped Bass
Stranahan's Palisade peach preserves, roasted asparagus, saffron risotto
Mr. K ordered it. The peach was earthy and just enough to add depth to the dish and compliment the fish.
The bread pudding was super rich. I only ate one of the pair. The bourbon sauce was buttery, sweet, and amazing. I could have just had a cup of that.
The $20 wine pairing was a nice addition.
I probably wouldn't go back here, but I don't regret going.
Salad: Roasted Beet & Orange "Carpaccio"
Haystack Mountain applewood smoked chevre, shaved Brussel sprouts, candied pistachios, fig balsamic dressing

Overall Impressions
Overall the atmosphere was okay. It had the standard hotel bar feel. Very casual. The wine pairing was nice. They had a full bar. The cocktail list was good: a few Old Fashions, Corpse Reviver #2, Boulevardier, and other starts to the weekend.I probably wouldn't go back here, but I don't regret going.
