Note: Surrounded by farmland, Niwot seems an apt spot for a locally focused, sustainable-minded chef to open a restaurant. And that's just what chef-owner Bradford Heap has done at Colterra--the menu, inspired by the classics of southern France and northern Italy, brings new sophistication to Niwot. The handsome space emphasizes a cozy, rambling dining room--and in warmer months a tree-lined patio--giving guests a spot to ponder the surrounding land, sip wine, and ultimately linger over Heap's cuisine.
