After a successful day of door replacements, Sis Patricia decided we ALL needed a break. (It’s very tiring to watch someone else work, and I’ve had lots of experience watching my Hubby…since he never stops working!) So off we went to a nearby restaurant with an AWESOME view of downtown Denver…

| GREAT Small Plates…Perfect To Share |
Some of the items on the Happy Hour menu looked familiar to us, and we soon realized many of the items were the same as from one of our favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale…The Chart House. We finally realized Simms Steakhouse is another recent acquisition of Mr. Tillman Fertitta, the owner of Landry’s Restaurants, the umbrella company for more than 400 successful dining, hospitality, gaming and entertainment properties across the country.
In fact, Mr. Fertitta’s mega-yacht, The Boardwalk, can usually be found docked next to our favorite table at the Chart House in Fort Lauderdale at some point during the winter months…and it is a marvel to see. It does block our view of the IntraCoastal Waterway, but it’s fun to watch the crew come and go as they continually polish and paint the vessel. And it would be an understaement to say the crew pampers any guests lucky enough to be invited onboard. But EVERYONE must remove their shoes and place them at the foot of the gangway leading onto the yacht…no shoes allowed onboard…by anyone!

As soon as we realized the connection to Mr. Fertitta and The Chart House, we knew we were in for a delicious meal of small plates and appetizers at Simms…

| What a View… |
Our tapas were awesome, and the view was too. It was a real treat to spend the evening even higher than the Mile High City…I think the elevation was more than 6,000 ft.
And I’m guessing Hubby enjoyed the evening even more because ALL of the doors in his sister’s house were FINISHED!
Mission Accomplished. And job well done.
Cheers!
