Nothing banishes the mid-winter blues like a leisurely brunch on a lazy Sunday morning. The upscale casual Del Frisco’s Grille (100 St. Paul St. – www.delfriscosgrille.com/cherry-creek) serves a brunch menu of classic comfort food designed and built for sharing, indulging and enjoying.

Settle in at the sleek new Cherry Creek space and try an offering from Executive Chef Dan Kane’s brunch menu – maybe you’ll try the Red Velvet Belgian Waffle with whipped vanilla bean-spiked cream cheese and thick-cut hickory-smoked bacon or the southern throwback Chicken-Fried Steak & Eggs with a buttery jumbo homemade biscuit and chorizo gravy. No brunch is complete without french toast, and the Grille’s version of is a Bananas Foster French Toast, with banana rum sauce and salty thick-cut hickory-smoked bacon. The Grille’s brunch boasts a burrito that’s out of this world: a Colorado take on the classic Shredded Pork Burrito with fluffy scrambled eggs, jalapeño jack cheese, crispy hash browns and roasted green chiles, finished with shaved lettuce, tomatoes, chorizo, crema & cotija cheese. Whet your whistle with a Grille Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary that arrives tableside with a ‘ Plate of Fixin’s” or the must-have Grille White Sangria, a cocktail of pinot grigio, fresh white peach purée, peach schnapps, fresh berries and served with a popsicle.

In just a few weeks, guests will be able to enjoy brunch from an airy perch: at the Grille, the most sought-after seats in the house will be on the expansive third-story rooftop patio scheduled to open later this month. Situated nearly three-stories above the street, the deck is the only rooftop patio in Cherry Creek and provides stunning, sweeping views of the Cherry Creek North neighborhood. It’s a beautifully-appointed, inviting space seating 45-50 at community tables, lounge-like seating, and high top tables. The rooftop patio will have its own bar, grand staircase and elevator access from the main floor, and a “living wall” covered in live greenery and fire-features centering the tables complete the inviting, comfortable, and casually cool space. No better spot to sip, share and slow down.
