Almost everything is certified Organic, and what they don't get from the restaurant's own garden, they get from a group of 55 local farms, ranches and food artisans!
The edible Beats group (who also own Linger, Root Down DIA and Ophelia's--all great places) was based on principles of environmental ethics defining everything decision, from what type of paint to use in the facilities to the materials of to-go containers.
The menu changes with the seasons, with great tapas style sharable options and some of my favorite unique mixed drinks!

Owned by the same group as Root Down and Linger, and operated with the same values of local, sustainably grown ingredients and environmental ethics. Ophelia's is a Gastrobrothel with fresh, interesting takes on shared plates, flatbreads, skillets and other craveable pub fare. Simple, handcrafted cocktails with fresh, local ingredients as well as four kegged cocktails and a 24-tap draft line of all-Colorado beers. Ophelia's has a sunken stage that features some great live music and often no cover charge.
