A starter, an entrée and something sweet, every evening at Cherry Creek, the Denver Performing Arts Complex and Golden Triangle.

The Finch Way is our three-course prix fixe dinner for $36, cooked from scratch by the same kitchen and bakery you know from breakfast and lunch. Start with something fresh, choose a comforting entrée, and finish with a treat from the pastry counter.

Two of our three restaurants offering The Finch Way are a short walk from Denver's theaters and museums, so dinner fits easily into a night out. Think of it as Restaurant Week pricing, every week.
