Cart-Driver expands space and offers direct-ship oysters

January 23, 2015

Cart-Driver, in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood, announces the completion of its indoor/outdoor private dining space. The space, which overlooks the interior courtyard of 25th and Larimer’s reclaimed shipping container complex, can host seated or reception-style events of up to 25 people. In the summer, the room’s all-weather canvas windows can be removed, transforming it to a transitional indoor/outdoor venue.

“Since opening, we’ve been busy – and fortunate – enough to be able to fill more seats than have always been available,” said partner Andrew Birkholz. “With the transition of restaurant’s rear outdoor space to an indoor/outdoor private dining area, we’re able to provide more seats to patrons year-round, as well as the flexibility and privacy of a private dining room.”

Additionally, Cart-Driver, which recently expanded hours and menus to offer lunch, as well as “Before & After” happy hour and late night menus, has also implemented a direct-ship oyster program with Washington-based Hama Hama oysters. The naturally grown and hand harvested oysters, available directly from the sea to Cart-Driver guests’ plates in one day, join the restaurant’s premium wood fired pizzas, seasonal market plates and signature campfire vanilla soft serve.

“As we do with most of our purveyors, our team personally traveled to Washington to sample Hama Hama oysters, meet with the owners of this family farm, and learn more about their processes,” said chef and partner Kelly Whitaker. “Not only did we find Hama Hama offered a superior product, but they also have the ability to ship the oysters directly to us, allowing us to serve them to our customers one day out of the water. I’m not aware of another restaurant in the area that offers access to oysters as fresh as these.”
