Here in Denver there's a place called Brittany Hill. Big Tudor-style place on a hill in Thornton, just north of downtown, right off I-25. Very nice views, very bad food. You know, one of those places prom-date kids like to go. Here's a review from the web:

"The food, like that of its sister restaurants, Chili Pepper and Baby Doe's, is disappointing and overpriced. Beer cheese soup tastes synthetic and seems nearly beerless. A hollowed-out whole-wheat round is wasted on a bland, gelatinous blob of artichoke-spinach dip. Alfredo sauce is gloopy. Marinated in briny vinegar, the rosemary chicken is unpalatable. Prime rib ordered medium-rare may arrive well-done, dry and stringy. Service in the kitschy-quaint dining room is cordial and attentive, but a bit stiff--awestruck, perhaps, by the lofty prices."

Those other two places had terrible food, too, also with nice views of downtown Denver. A theme, perhaps? Don't you hate it when that maxim "great view, terrible food" is true?

The good news is that it's now closed. Drove by there yesterday and it still looks empty.
