The two month old 110 Reserve comes as an extension of Miss Priss Women’s Clothing Store and owner of both, Pamela Mikesell. It’s a very inviting porch / deck / breezeway mini-bar with a view of the highway and Pike’s Peak and wouldn’t be out of place in Breckenridge in terms of design.
A credit is required for this, but you don’t have to charge Breck prices for simple cocktails. Like an inexplicably high vodka from Tito’s $ 15 Bloody Maria – the cost of a killer cocktail at one of Denver’s high-end spots – that’s heavy on the celery salt and drinks like any $ 5 brunch special anywhere, though candied bacon goes with celery, cucumber, olive and salami slice garnish fits.

As fine and refreshing as their Don Julio silver Cucumber margarita is, with fresh fruit and homemade lime syrup and luckily no BS mixes, $ 12 still feels a few dollars high.
Our Chicken satay bowl, colorful and beautifully presented with carrot shavings nested on a rice mound, surrounded by edamame drizzled with dressing, broccoli, cabbage, and sliced bird pieces, is at least $ 4 overpriced at $ 16 for the portion and overall finish, inclusive lumpy rice and fairly dry meat with no juice.
For our money, we are most satisfied with a $ 4 snack bowl of warm mixed nuts encased in a fabulous rosemary spice.
