At this seductively alluring Larimer Square bubbles lounge and small plates hot spot specializing in crudo (Italian for raw dishes), you'll encounter a steady stream of well-heeled urbanites sipping Moet & Chandon while noshing on oysters on the half shell, steak tartare, and ceviche. Curvy white-leathered banquettes illuminated by crystal chandeliers encourage intimate socializing, the bar is conducive to grazing, and the back lounge boasts oversized chairs, leather sofas, and funky zebra carpeting. Stargazed couples cuddle up in the corridor, outfitted with cozy booths. The champagne roster, which runs the gamut from a light bodied Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut to celebratory Dom Perignon, features 54 selections, including half bottles and 10 pours by the glass. Champagne cocktails, like the kir royale, pair perfectly with the salmon and scallop tartare pooled in chile oil or the bresaola bolstered with peppery arugula, capers, olive oil and Reggiano.
