The Culatte Sirloin in pink peppercorn cognac sauce ($19) left me scratching my head; everything else I had tried up to that point was flavorful and creative but this was unremarkable to me. To be fair, my guest was moaning in delight and the Whipped Lavender Potatoes that came with the steak were excellent. I might be a convert if they served it with more of the cognac sauce. On the other hand, my Lamb Shank ($16) was a delight: it was falling-off-the-bone tender and moist served with a brown gravy that made the meal a combination of haute cuisine and comfort food. The lamb was served with a risotto; the lavender potatoes were so good I'd ask to have them substituted. The potatoes served here are worth the trip alone.
Dinner prices range between $9 and $25, but mostly in the teens.
The Weber's menu is quite varied and I only had room to try a small sample, but they also offer pasta, fish, fowl, salads and are renowned for their flakey-crust Pot Pie ($13), which I tried on a subsequent visit. It's wonderful. I recommend it to people who aren't allergic to butter.
Besides, I had to save room for desert. We tried their classic New York style Cheesecake ($7) and Raspberry Molten Cake ($7). Both were a pleasant end to an enjoyable meal but if you dine out regularly they're likely not the best you've had of either.
The Weber has off street parking below the building if you're driving something smallish. Forget trying to park your "duelie" twin cab down there. They're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are strongly suggested and can be made at 303/377-8577. Their restaurant and banquet facilities are located at 233 Clayton St., or, will cater your event.
