This is local chef Kevin Taylor’s version of a modern, American Steakhouse in Broomfield, Colorado, just off of Hwy 36 & Wadsworth Parkway. Here guests dine in a comfortable, chic and lively dining room on USDA Prime Steak, Organic Chicken, Gourmet Burgers, Kobe Beef, Heirloom Pork, Fat Tire® Fish and Chips and more. ($16 to $39) This is not your parents’ Steakhouse, so — no dress codes, no white linens on the tables and no maitre d’ in a tux.

Best known for award-winning fine dining in Denver, Kevin and Executive Chef Dave Boehm now offer a Steakhouse that is both approachable and affordable, half way between Denver and Boulder. Everything is made from scratch, using local and seasonal items that are the best of the best. Kevin Taylor STEAK also offers a fantastic wine list, private dining room, catering within the new Aloft Hotel, a bar menu, great big martinis and fantastic menu options. Everyone — vegetarians and even the kids ($7.00 menu) — are welcomed.
