Leo Goto's Riverfront: a closer look

Last week, we noted that old-school restaurateur Leo Goto was back in the biz with a restaurant and events center in Littleton. This week we took a closer look at his new digs, poked around the kitchen, caught up with executive chef Andrea McGrath -- who is about to have a baby -- and spent some time with Goto himself, who describes the restaurant as "a neighborhood gathering place with great signature food, stuff people can't get anywhere else."

Take a peek:

restaurant, located at 2852 West Bowles Avenue in Littleton on the banks of the Platte River, used to be the Riverfront Events Center. Goto hints that he snagged the 12,000-square-foot space and one-and-a-half acre property for a song. "It's a great location and there's potential to do a lot of business here. It just hit me between the eyes," he says.
