Culinary Innovative Unveils Forget Me Not in Cherry Creek

Culinary Imaginative, the cafe team behind BarDough, Ash’kara, Señor Bear and Morin, amid others, is at it yet again, this time with a sumptuous new cocktail bar crafted into a Cherry Creek cottage that once held a flower shop. The new undertaking is named Overlook Me Not, found at 227 Clayton Road.

Juan Padró, Katie O’Shea and Max MacKissock are driving Culinary Artistic, and they’ve tapped Ash’Kara bartender Nicole Lebedevitch as operations partner and beverage director. Developer Matt Joblon of BMC Investments is also in on the challenge. Lebedevitch, who’s also a pianist who graduated from the Berklee Faculty of Songs, has designed a seasonal roster of cocktails that get inspiration from the bar’s floral record (see the sprigs of lavender and rosemary adorning glasses as illustrations) and also equilibrium bar knowledge and creativity with special mixtures.

Lebedevitch details out that the ignore-me-not is a flower associated with remembrance, so it truly is typically connected with memorials. “But it is also the amount-a person tattooed flower in American,” she claims. “You can appear here to share recollections and create memories.”

Padró adds that Cherry Creek seemed like the suitable site for the bar because of the neighborhood’s changing scene. He admits that he failed to know the district quite very well, so he rented an apartment near the bar for 6 months to get a really feel for it. “The demographic is shifting younger,” he observes. “There is an hunger for anything a minimal diverse.”

Elements consist of handmade infusions and syrups flavored with botanical barks, woods, spices and flowers, augmenting the floral theme of the bar.

The food items aspect of the menu, intended by MacKissock, is tiny but properly-appointed the caviar service — topping out at $135 — feels specially ideal for the neighborhood. You’ll also find cheese and meat boards, Spanish tinned seafood and a relish tray. A refreshing-baked gentle pretzel, a Maine lobster roll and Jonah crab toast on a housemade English muffin round out the tiny plates.

Padró details out that the roof was entirely rebuilt to incorporate a number of skylights that bathe the room in sunlight for the duration of the day.

Forget about Me Not opens to the community on Wednesday, March 10, with restricted seating potential and mask rules in accordance with recent city and point out procedures. The bar will be open up from 3 p.m. to near (which has but to be identified) each Wednesday as a result of Sunday.
