A Seasonal Bargain at Larkspur

Last night's tasting menu at Larkspur was delicious and a fabulous value at $25! All the money we saved went to buy two bottles of Beaux Freres. After a little amuse bouche of dilled salmon, I tried the "Southern Comfort" selection, which had a tasty crabcake, followed by even tastier batter-fried cornish game hen, finishing up with a chocolate tart that I didn't really need. If you can get to Vail this time of year, Larkspur offers excellent food values as they are wrapping up the ski season; they offer less expensive, more casual food than at high season, but great quality.
