Foodography: Oak at Fourteenth reopens tonight
Business at Boulder's six-month-old Oak at Fourteenth was on fire when the restaurant actually caught fire last spring, forcing owners Bryan Dayton and Steve Redzikowski to shutter their spot so that they could gut it and rebuild it from the ground up. It was a long road back, but after nine months, the partners will finally open the doors tonight.

Don't expect the same Oak, though. Dayton and Redzikowski made some big changes to the aesthetic, including an expansion that gives them a private dining room. Warm woods dominate, and light blue glass above the bar gives the place a modern feel. They've revamped the menu and drink list, too, keeping their upscale North American neighborhood restaurant theme, but adding a few twists and surprises.
Here's a taste of what you can expect at the resurrected restaurant:
Jars of preserves line one of the kitchen-flanking counters at Oak; those seats offer a view of the new wood-fired oven and down the entrance corridor to the host stand.

A new private dining room features a wall of slatted wood. Frosted glass will eventually obscure it from the rest of the space.
