If you don't mind paying ~$30 for dinner, I had a great Steak au Poivre at "The Broker" last week. It's on 17th and Champa (about 5 min walk from the Radisson).  Other items included Beef Wellington ($28) and Filet Mignon ($28).

Note: The thirty bucks includes salad, bread, vegatable, dessert, and about
      *fifty* peel-n-eat shrimp!

If you like Cajun, don't miss "Bayou Bob's" on 17th and Welton. $8 meals, large portions, the real deal. If I would have gone there first, I would have eaten there *every* day. *Very* nice people.

If you eat breakfast, do yourselves a favor and don't eat at the Radisson. They try and make up for the high prices by providing terrible service and sub-standard food. Walk over to Duffy's on Court Place just across 16th. Great breakfast.

As for shopping, walk out the front of the Radisson and turn right. at the corner, turn left (16th street). This street is one big mall. It's pretty cool. There is a free shuttle bus that runs up and down 16th every few minutes.

Best bet is to get a tourist guide from the Concierge. There is a lot to see and do in Denver.

Enjoy!

Dave,
1. Expensive, but quite good: Strings
2. Authentic trattoria food, designed for the carry out trade but can eat
   there, outstanding food for the price: Cucina Leone out on University

Try the Brewery Bar II on Kalamath between
(I think) Ellsworth and Bayaud.

Best Chile Rellenos in Denver, among the
best in the world. Excellent Green Chile.

Sorry, Rattlesnake Club is history, but there are rumors that Jimmy Schmidt is coming back - we'll see.

Anyway, suggestions in Denver:

Zenith (absolutely)
Strings
Ti Wa Inn (Vietnamese)
Barolo
Rocky Mountain Diner
Firehouse (refers to the fact that the food is HOT & SPICY)

French:  Tante Louise.  Very good food and service.  Fine wine list. Multiple small rooms in a converted rambling house in East Denver. Expensive

Italian:  Barolo Grill.  Unpretentious trattoria-like place located in a shopping mall-like area,  Good list of Italian wines -- better than most in including excellent but lesser known producers.  Style of service and portions closer to Italian than in most US-Italian restaurants.  Moderate to expensive.
