High above Tennyson Street, Hey Kiddo is one of Denver's trendiest restaurants. From the third floor location to the eclectic menu, there is nothing typical about this hot spot. 
Chef Kelly Whitaker mans the stoves, taking full liberties with an ever-changing menu. There's something for everyone, with oysters, caviar, K-town fried chicken, shrimp toast, crudo and pasta dishes among the tempting options. Flavors and inspiration come from around the world, as in shaken beef that's as much fun as it is delicious. Tonnarelli tossed with asparagus, mushrooms and parmesan is hit with an Asian sauce for a winning dish, and the quirkiness continues through dessert, where rice cream with burnt banana can be topped with sancho, broken cone, lingonberry or caramel.
