When lunchtime demands a heavy dose of tradition and sophistication, nothing beats the Old World charm of Ellyngtons in the historic Brown Palace Hotel. Completing the experience is the menu's lobster BLT. The decadent sandwich combines toasted brioche, Maine lobster claw, crisp Bibb lettuce, basil aïoli, heirloom tomato, and thick slices of applewood smoked bacon. Served with your choice of side (cottage cheese, coleslaw, fruit, fries, or house-made chips), this dish---plus the gracious service and opulent surroundings---makes lunchtime feel like a special occasion. 321 17th St., 303-297-3111
