      I don't know of any good Korean places. However, there actually are
      some pretty good 'nice' restaurants in Denver:

      Bistro Adde Brewster in Cherry Creek.

      Cliff Youngs on 17th. (way expensive, but one of the better meals
                        I've had in any city)

      Black Swan in the Scanticon Hotel. (pricey, but beaurtiful present-
                                    ations)

      Cache Cache in Cherry Creek

      Augusta off the 16th st Mall.

      Hope these help!

The Fort in Morrison is one of my favorites.
Take C-470 to the Hampden Blvd/US-285 exit. Go west to the next exit. The fort is just north of 285. It sits on a hill, overlooking south Denver. It is designed as a nineteenth century adobe fort. The food is great. Buffalo, Elk, Venison, quail, beef, and seafood. The finest array of brandies that I have found. is at The Fort. A good winelist is available. two people, without wine can spend $ 30 to $100. Dress is casual. Reservations suggested.

The Buckhorn Exchange 1000 block of Osage St., Denver. Turn east on 10th St from Kalamath, 10th dead ends to Osage. The Buckhorn is on the corner. Menu is similar to Fort.

There is a good Korean resteraunt on 6th & Washington in Denver called "Seoul Food".  It is very reasonably priced and fantastic food.  Service can be less than cordial but never bad.  Try the beef bi bim bob (sp?).  It's a huge bowl of fantastic food for about 5 bucks.
