Smack dab in the heart of charming downtown Boulder, Oak at Fourteenth invites guests to settle in to a space where light wood floors, white walls and a minimalist design aesthetic set a modern tone. The kitchen echoes the contemporary mindset with a hearty menu focused on meat, but with equal care shown to vegetarian dishes. To begin, a vibrant disc of beet tartare is served with mustard ice cream and a beet-colored rice cracker for a dramatic start. Rotisserie chicken with a green apple and celery root slaw is a go-to, but save room for a slice of their peanut butter tart. With its thick cookie crust, thin layer of cherry gelee and a quenelle of celery sorbet balanced on chopped peanuts, it's a nod to that childhood classic: ants on a log.
