We discovered the Wooden Table shortly after its opening; we’d enjoyed the previous restaurant in that space, and gave its replacement a try — and fell in love with the place. A stable but evolving menu of rich meats and pastas (my faves were the Cavatelli with Duck Confit Carbonara, and the Pappardelle with Venison Bolognese), a stellar cocktail menu, and wait- and bar staff that were always pleasant and helpful.
It didn’t look like much from the outside (sitting in an upscale shopping center), and the inside was spare, but the Wooden Table was our “nice restaurant” of choice, the place to go for birthdays and various celebrations, just Margie and I or with family and visitors. Yelp says I checked in there 28 times over the last five years or so. We actually just went a few weeks ago, for our anniversary, and I’m really glad we did.
I’m sure we’ll find another place to go — Denver has a lot of fine restaurants — but I’ll always have fond memories of the place.
Many thanks to the owners, chefs, and staff at the Wooden Table. You’ve been a good part of a lot of good times.
But, But – So So too bad!!
