Colterra Restaurant – Niwot, Colorado

This weekend, my parents treated me to lunch at Colterra in Niwot, Colorado. The building has housed a number of enjoyable restaurants, and the latest venture features locally-sourced foods.

This visit, I enjoyed the Fall Vegetable Linguini with fresh pasta, roasted butternet and delicata squash, hazel dell mushrooms, chard, and parmigiano, finished with a sprinkle of parsley. The fresh, local ingredients blended in a beautiful symphony.

My dad tried the Ahi Tuna Niçoise Salad; the tuna was perfectly cooked and delicious.

My mom paired the roasted beet salad with the soup du jour, a curried pumpkin soup.

The service was a bit overbearing, but the food more than made up for it.
