Kevin Taylor Brings New Steakhouse to the aloft Hotel at Arista

Broomfield, CO (March 2009) – The developers of Arista, Broomfield’s new mixed-use, transit-oriented development, along with native Coloradoan and renowned chef Kevin Taylor, are pleased to announce a new Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group concept to be known as Kevin Taylor Steak.  The steakhouse will be Taylor’s seventh restaurant location in Colorado and will occupy 5,342 square feet on the corner of Colony Row and Arista Place.  Set to open in September 2009, Kevin Taylor Steak will serve dinner nightly. The restaurant will feature a full-service bar, lounge area, private event space and catering within aloft Hotel.
 
With a diverse portfolio of restaurants and catering operations located in downtown Denver and a seasonal restaurant in Central City, the Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group is expanding the brand by moving north to Broomfield and recognizing a dream of a relaxed, modern steakhouse.  While Kevin Taylor Steak will be upscale in terms of its high quality menu offerings and expansive wine list, it will be the kind of restaurant that welcomes families, locals, and travelers -- in jeans and ties alike.

“I’ve had a comfortable steakhouse concept in mind for some time now and feel Arista’s aloft Hotel is the place to create it. The restaurant and private dining rooms will complement the impressive development by offering high quality food, prime steak, an impressive wine list and great service with personality. We have enjoyed a successful partnership in a very similar hotel environment in downtown Denver,” said Taylor. “The aloft Hotel is a great fit for us; and because of the unique urban nature and ideal location between Denver and Boulder, Arista is the perfect place for our expansion.”

“We are excited to share Kevin’s vision for a high quality steakhouse, and it is a tremendous pleasure and honor to welcome Kevin Taylor Steak to Arista,” said Tim Wiens, Arista’s Developer.  “Because of Kevin’s vast restaurant success, his artful food presentation, unequalled quality of service, and the highly sophisticated atmosphere of his restaurants, Kevin Taylor Steak is the ingredient needed to complete our new hotel.”
