Home Care In Lone Tree, CO

DENVER (KDVR) — Jack’s on Pearl, the local award-winning steakhouse known for its dry-aged fish and 75-day wet-aged beef, is expanding beyond Denver with a new location in Lone Tree.

Jack’s on Pearl opened in Denver on South Pearl Street in 2022. It was created by Steve Lockton and named after his father, Jack. After nearly four years and countless awards, including the People’s Choice Awards at the Denver RARE Competition, the steakhouse is opening its second location.

In January, Jack’s Modern Steakhouse is opening in Lone Tree in the former Mimi’s Café on Park Meadows Drive. The restaurant said it has the same charm as the cafe, but with a new look. Here’s what it will look like inside:

The two-story building sits on 5,700 square feet with a 595-square-foot outdoor patio. The kitchen will be bigger than the original Jack’s on Pearl, and the restaurant said there’s a first-floor private event space that accommodates up to 175 guests. Meanwhile, upstairs there are two private dining rooms, a main dining area, a bar and a lounge.

The building isn’t the only new addition.

The restaurant said there will be new menu offerings as well. The menu will mostly mirror Jack’s on Pearl, but there will also be Wagyu beef throughout the entire steak program at the new location. While diners can still have the favorites like pecan shrimp, there will also be new items like the Bone Marrow appetizer and the Beef and Reef Paella.

“Opening in Lone Tree feels like bringing Jack’s home,” Jack’s President Darryl Shoemake said. “After years of seeing the area’s incredible growth, and hearing from guests and neighbors craving a great dining experience without heading to Denver, it just made sense. Repurposing the former Mimi’s space allowed us to build on a familiar foundation and create something fresh. It felt like the perfect way to serve a community I’m proud to call home.”

The restaurant is planning on opening on Jan. 6, 2026.

Jack’s Modern Steakhouse, the award-winning, family-owned Denver restaurant known to locals as Jack’s on Pearl, is expanding south with a second location opening Tuesday, January 6, 2026, in Lone Tree. Located in the former Mimi’s Café at 9155 Park Meadows Drive, the new restaurant will bring Jack’s signature elevated dining experience to the suburbs, complete with new menu offerings, a refined atmosphere and sweeping Rocky Mountain views.

Created by Steve Lockton and named after Lockton’s father, Jack, the restaurant’s first location in Denver opened in 2022 with a vision to fuse bold flavors, stunning presentation and an upscale yet approachable atmosphere in the city’s growing dining scene. Over time, it has become a local favorite, known for its dry-aged fish and seafood programming, 75-day wet-aged beef, sashimi bar and thoughtfully curated cocktail and wine programs.

Blending the nostalgic charm of the former Mimi’s Cafe with Jack’s signature style, the new Lone Tree location—designed by a global design and architecture consultancy Zebra—offers a refined yet welcoming space for the community to gather. Spanning 5,700 square feet, the restaurant features an expanded kitchen, significantly larger than Pearl’s, along with a first-floor private event space that accommodates up to 175 guests. Upstairs, guests will find two intimate private dining rooms, a main dining area, and a lively bar and lounge. The design also includes a 595-square-foot outdoor patio with stunning views of the Rockies connected to the bar, perfectly complementing Lone Tree’s relaxed, social atmosphere.

Frontline Construction Group is the general contractor for the project.

This move aligns with the nationwide trend of premium dining expanding beyond urban cores into fast-growing suburban nodes, serving customers who want sophistication and convenience close to home.

“Opening in Lone Tree feels like bringing Jack’s home,” said Jack’s President Darryl Shoemake, who lives in the community. “After years of seeing the area’s incredible growth, and hearing from guests and neighbors craving a great dining experience without heading to Denver, it just made sense. Repurposing the former Mimi’s space allowed us to build on a familiar foundation and create something fresh. It felt like the perfect way to serve a community I’m proud to call home.”

The Lone Tree menu will mirror Jack’s on Pearl’s offerings but will exclusively serve Wagyu beef. Guests can still enjoy favorites like pecan shrimp, lemongrass scallops, sashimi, creative cocktails and an inspired wine list, while also exploring an expanded selection of new dishes available only at this location.

Jack’s has earned numerous accolades, including the Diners’ Choice Award (2024 and 2025), People’s Choice Awards at the Denver RARE Competition (Best Steak, Best Seafood) and Best Whiskey Cocktail in Colorado at Stranahan’s Barrel Royale. Jack’s Modern Steakhouse also ranks #1 as Yelp’s highest-rated steakhouse in Denver.

“We’re thrilled to bring Jack’s signature dishes, like our award-winning Champion Filet and Triple Combo Sashimi, to Lone Tree, while also experimenting with new creations that celebrate the community’s local flavor,” Chef Oscar Diaz Lechuga said. “Food has always been our way of connecting people, and that’s exactly what we want to bring to Lone Tree; a place where guests can gather, unwind and enjoy.”

Jack’s Modern Steakhouse Lone Tree location will officially open to the public on Tuesday, January 6, with a grand opening celebration on January 10. The restaurant will serve lunch Monday through Friday starting at 11:30 a.m., host happy hour daily from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., offer dinner Monday through Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m., and feature weekend brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bar service will be available Sunday through Thursday until 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until 11 p.m.

COLORADO– Lone Tree Brewing is excited to introduce a new winter seasonal, Chocolate & Pistachio Stout. Just in time for the first snowfall of the season, it's now available in cans and on draft across Colorado for the wintertime.

Like all of Lone Tree's seasonal cans, Chocolate & Pistachio Stout began as a draft-only beer. The Lone Tree brewing team loves to experiment with Stout as a canvas for flavor combinations, and this one pleased the crowd so much it made its way to a package this year. It's highly drinkable at just 5% ABV, yet full bodied with prominent roastiness, subtle nuttiness, and notes of sweet chocolate.

"The brewing process consisted of carefully manipulating mash temperatures to increase mouthfeel and body while allowing the large percentage of flaked and malted oats to hold the entirety of the malt composition together," says Lone Tree Director of Brewhouse Operations Jerry Siote. "The use of more than 25 pounds of single-origin cacao nibs from Ecuador, natural pistachio flavorings, late-kettle additions of lactose, and a touch of organic vanilla led to a finished Stout with deep, rich flavors."

Chocolate & Pistachio Stout is now available on draft and in 6-packs to-go at both Lone Tree locations. Find it on draft and in cans at retailers and venues across Colorado this winter.

Five neighbors of a noisy rec center in Lone Tree are likely prohibited from suing it for being a nuisance since the center is owned by the government, a court ruled on Thursday.

In the summer of 2024, the five asked a judge in Castle Rock to close the Lone Tree Recreation Center’s pickleball courts or force the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District to construct a soundproof structure around them. Noise levels had hit 62 decibels, they said.

“Constant, loud pickleball strikes are offensive, cause stress and devalue property,” wrote lawyers for Mark Goodman, Richard and Donna Campbell, William Fornia and Matthew Troyer.

South Suburban asked that the case be dismissed, since government entities are generally exempt from nuisance lawsuits by law. But Judge Ben Leutwyler disagreed, ruling last October that since the neighbors were only seeking an injunction closing the pickleball courts and not money, their lawsuit was not barred by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act.

South Suburban quickly appealed that ruling to the Colorado Court of Appeals, where a three-judge panel spent one year considering it before issuing its opinion Thursday.

The three judges unanimously concluded that by arguing their property values have declined, the homeowners are seeking monetary damages whether they say so or not, meaning their lawsuit is a tort case and almost certainly cannot be brought against the government.

There is one exception. Governments waive their immunity when they create “a dangerous condition,” such as a public employee crashing their vehicle into someone, a public sidewalk causing someone to fall, or a public jail failing to protect inmates inside, for example.

“Because we have concluded that the homeowners’ nuisance claims are each subject to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, we remand the case to (Judge Leutwyler) to determine… whether the district waived its immunity,” Appeals Court Judge Pax Moultrie wrote.

The neighbors were represented by attorney Tessa Carberry with Husch Blackwell in Denver. South Suburban’s lawyers were Nicholas Poppe and Timothy Walsh with Nathan Dumm & Mayer in Denver. Attorneys for both sides declined to comment on the opinion.

Neighbors in Lone Tree are fighting to save the bluffs near their Colorado homes from development.

The proposed Hillcamp development would bring 343 new single-family homes to land on the west side of Interstate 25, south of RidgeGate Parkway, north of McArthur Drive and west of Cabela Drive. It sits adjacent to the East-West Regional Trail, which neighbors say draws people from across the Denver metro area.

"It's just the crown jewel of Lone Tree, and people literally break down in tears over the potential impact that it's going to have," said nearby resident Tara Meekma.

Ever since Meekma learned of the development proposed on the bluffs near her Lone Tree home, she said she has spent 35 hours a week spreading the word.

"We put flyers on cars. We walk the trails. We hand them out to people that are walking. And we're really just hoping the more people we talk to, it's going to spread," Meekma said.

She has created flyers, a website called Save the Lone Tree Bluffs and a petition with nearly 5,000 signatures.

"We want politicians and the developers and the other decision makers to understand people are paying attention," Meekma said.

The project she's fighting is called Hillcamp. Developer Brookfield Residential is proposing 343 single-family homes on almost 400 acres the company owns. The City of Lone Tree says the project also includes an amenity center.

Meekma is worried about the impact to wildlife, water resources, traffic and the wild character of the land and space many Coloradans enjoy.

"People come up here to connect, to get off their phones, to just kind of unplug," Meekma said.

Peter Lauener, President of Brookfield Residential's Colorado Division, said the land was zoned for residential development in 2000, and their plan will preserve the bluff face, the East-West Trail and add 170 acres of open space.

"We wanted to be very thoughtful to creating a lot of open space trail systems, being sensitive to wildlife habitat, sensitive to the most sensitive areas of the site, and leaving those in their natural state," Lauener said. "We are preserving the East-West Trail. We're creating over seven acres of additional trails. We're creating fantastic viewpoints for the community to be able to enjoy and see the views and enjoy the trail as they do today."

Lauener said the project is being developed consistent with zoning, with a density of less than one unit per acre.

The plan includes extending Cabela Drive through Lone Tree open space for Hillcamp's primary access road.

"We understand the developer owns this land, but the developer does not own access to this land," Meekma said. "We're upset about the fact that the city would be benefiting the developer by building a road through that critical habitat."

A Brookfield representative said 447 acres were zoned as open space in 2000 and transferred to the city for free in 2020. The company said the owner at the time reserved the ability to extend Cabela Drive and plans have long been in the works with the city to do so.

Meekma hopes the developer and the city will hear her concerns.

"My message to Lone Tree is, listen. Listen to your constituents. Listen to the people that live here," Meekma said. "The City of Lone Tree also needs to respect why people have lived here and what makes Lone Tree special."

Brookfield has scheduled a meeting with concerned Surrey Ridge residents on Nov. 13 at 5:45 p.m. at the Lone Tree Hub.

"We want to hear their concerns and make sure, as we develop this project, that those concerns have been addressed," Lauener said.

"We have a say in what happens in our backyards. Everybody does. And this is not a done deal," Meekma said.

The City of Lone Tree told CBS Colorado the application is currently under technical review. The next step will be public referral and public hearings, which are not yet scheduled. The city says it cannot comment on a quasi-judicial process like this.
