Reynard Social
Reynard Social has rolled out their new spring menu and let me be the first to tell you, that it is fabulous. The girls and I had the best evening here over the weekend.
We arrived at Thompson Denver and headed to the 6th floor (this is where you'll find Reynard Social). The name Reynard is a nod to Reynard the Fox who is a beloved trickster of European folklore. Reynard Social's host greeted us and ushered us inside.
We were seated in the sun room with the fireplace. The aesthetic of the space was airy and playful with a lovely contrast of whites and greenery.
Reynard's lounge seating allowed for easy mingling among parties. A devious picture of a fox was the focal point behind the bar. The bartenders were stellar mixologists and our server Sage made sure we had everything we needed during our visit.
For cocktails we started with a round of ‘In the Clouds’ made with Tanqueray gin, pomme de Normandie, apple brandy, pear brandy, and lemoned Breckenridge bitters.
This gorgeous cocktail had a smooth mouthfeel with delicate flavors of candied fruit. We loved the In the Clouds so much we ordered a second round.
The Pull-Apart Smash Burger (American Style) was made with tomato pickle relish, pancetta crisp, lettuce, American cheese and house made pull apart buns. This was one of our favorite food offerings of the night.
The beef was mouthwateringly juicy and had nice chew against the soft house made bun. The pancetta crisp added a nice crunch to the burger. This was a delicious and hearty starter.
The Ahi Tuna Tacos were made with aji-roja sauce, avocado puree, tobiko, and crispy wontons.
This was a fresh and bright appetizer. The aji-roja sauce coated the cubes of mild tuna with a lingering chili flavor. The fried wonton taco shell had great crunch against the smooth fish.
The Burrata was made with delicata squash, spiced local honey, and praline gremolata.
This was a favorite of the evening - one of the best burrata dishes I have ever had. The presentation of this dish was lovely and the roasted delicate squash was a beautiful golden color. The squash tasted of sweet spiced honey and was topped by the milky burrata. The candied praline gremolata had great cinnamon flavor.
The Feta Fries were made with garlic, dill, and oregano aioli.
The fries were nicely salted and paired well with the flavors of lemon and peppery oregano in the aioli.
The Shrimp & Hamachi Crudo were made with crushed avocado, passion fruit, and crispy plantain chips.
The crudo was a zesty dish that rushed onto the palate with acidity and citrus.
For Sweets we had Chef Anne’s Croissant Bread Pudding made with bourbon ice cream, caramel, and vanilla drizzle.
The flakey croissant was served warm and coated in hot caramel. The bourbon infused ice cream sexily melted onto the croissant adding a cold component to each bite.
We ended our night at Reynard with a round of Espresso Martinis while watching the sunset over the mountains.
The Espresso Martinis were punchy in caffeine with a nice touch of sweetness.
Big thanks to Thompson Denver, Reynard Social, Sage, Jonah, Morgan Blanner, and Bon Communications for hosting us!
