DENVER -- The Wellshire Inn, a venerable Tudor landmark, is now out of the restaurant business and is being redeveloped as a private events venue suitable for weddings, corporate events (it overlooks a golf course) and assorted other special occasions. Leo Goto, legendary Denver restaurateur and the longtime public face of the Wellshire Inn, is no longer in the picture, but his partner, Howard Torgrove, now holds the lease and is redeveloping it.

Denver Post columnist Penny Parker toured the facility, which promises more glass walls to take in the views and a glassed-in, climate-controlled adjacent pavilon. "This will be Denver's Tavern on the Green," Torgrove predicted to Parker. Does he know that the Tavern on the Green closed for good after New Year's Eve?
