Martini's Bistro, originally, "ChriSar’s" opened in 1994. It was named uniquely after Frank & Ann Kaven's children. Derived from combining both names, "Christopher & Sarah" the Kaven Family Legacy lives on.In the spring of 2004, Frank thought that since the kids had grown up it was time for the restaurant to do so too. It was decided that the décor needed to be relaxed & updated, that the menu should be more creative & fun, that the patio had to be expanded into the award winning patio it is today and that it should be an upscale casual place for adults to relax, refresh & rejuvenate themselves...thus, the creation of Martini's Bistro!Martini's Bistro has been awarded several honors throughout the years including, The Best of Martini by Denver MetroMix. Time's Call-Reader's Choice, "Best Martini" & "Best Outdoor Dining." Readers of Best of Boulder County also chose Martini's Bistro as "Best Martini." 2012 was the pinnacle for the Bistro when the restaurant, the staff and the owners received the Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business of the Year Award.
