Executive Chef at Hearth & Rye

Behind the Kitchen

Meet
Chef Eli Sander

Eli spent a decade cooking in New York and Denver before returning to the Front Range with a single obsession: live-fire done right. He studied open-flame technique in Argentina and spent two seasons in the Basque Country learning how patience transforms protein.

At Hearth & Rye, Eli leads a team that sources nearly everything within 150 miles — local ranches, seasonal produce from Front Range farms, and foraged ingredients that quietly reshape the menu week to week.

"The fire is honest. It doesn't hide mistakes. That's what I love about it."

The Experience

Designed to
slow you down

Hearth & Rye was built around one idea: that great food and great company deserve more than an hour. Our dining room was designed with intimacy in mind — low light, warm wood, the honest smell of fire.

We seat 60 guests across our main room and a private dining alcove. Our bar program focuses on spirit-forward cocktails, natural wines, and craft beer from Colorado's best producers.

"The bone marrow alone is worth the drive. We've been coming for three years and they've never missed a beat. This is the kind of place you take people you want to impress."

★★★★★

"Best live-fire cooking I've had outside of a trip to Buenos Aires. The wagyu tartare changed how I think about raw beef. Already have a reservation for next month."

— James K.  ·  Denver

★★★★★

"We hosted our anniversary in the private alcove and the team treated us like family. Warm, unhurried, and every course landed exactly right. Unforgettable."
