About Annette: Caroline is a 2022 James Beard Award winner in the Best Chef: Mountain category!
Caroline Glover founded Annette in the fall of 2016. She named the restaurant for her feisty and brilliant great aunt Netsie, a novelist and short story writer who lived in small town Texas. Netsie didn't teach Caroline to cook, though her tamales and martinis were exemplary. Instead, she taught Caroline to have an opinion. That confidence in her own good taste has carried Caroline through 16+ years in the restaurant industry.
Before winning a James Beard Award in 2022, Caroline and her staff were nominated for the award four times. In 2019, Caroline was named one of the 10 best new chefs in America by Food and Wine magazine. In 2017, Annette was named one of the 50 Best New Restaurants in the Country by Bon Appetit magazine and was also was Eater Denver's restaurant of the year. Annette has been on 5280 magazine's list of Denver's 25 best restaurants each year since it opened.
