* For the past six years, Table 6 (609 Corona St.) has been dishing out dinners six nights a week to Capitol Hill crowds who appreciate the eclectic mix of creative American dishes complimented by a solid wine program.

And things just got better: The bistro, with its exhibition kitchen, chalkboard menu and snazzy bar, has introduced a Sunday brunch menu featuring a formidable lineup that includes a charcuterie board of lamb bacon, pork tasso, duck ham and turkey terrine; biscuits with goat cheese, eggs and lamb gravy; waffled French toast with maple syrup; and smoked salmon and chive scrambled eggs.

Brunch is served from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives you just enough time to sneak in a nap before traipsing back to Table 6 for the new Sunday Suppers, which began in earnest last week. The family-style dinners, which include a main course (vegetarian, fish and meat options), soup or salad, several side dishes and dessert, are $29 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. No two ways about it: Sundays just got sweeter in the 'hood. For more info, go to table6denver.com.

* One of Denver's oldest Italian restaurants, 3 Sons, at 2915 W. 44th Ave., is gearing up for a few months of "Grand Closing" celebrations before owners Susan and Michael Scarafiotti shutter the joint for good to get ready for their new Arvada location at 14805 W. 64th Ave., slated for a late-spring bloom.

From now through March, the Scarafiottis are offering a wellspring of food and wine deals to satiate you through the transition, the best of which might be the two-for-one entree promotion on Tuesdays or the all-you-can-eat spaghetti on Wednesdays. Information: threesons.net.

* There's good news and bad news coming from the folks at Fuel Cafe (3455 Ringsby Court), the addictive restaurant in the artsy Taxi development in the River North neighborhood. First the bad news: The joint is no longer serving morning breakfast or coffee, although if you work in the area and have an early morning meeting, the pastries and scones are still available, so long as you provide the staff with at least 24 hours notice.

Now, the good news: After a year of serving dinner just one night a week (Thursday), the cafe is expanding its nightly hours, beginning March 19, to include Friday and Saturday. And because of the increasing clamor for seats, Fuel is finally accepting dinner reservations; you can't have mine, but to make your own, call 303-296-4642.

* There's more good news on the restaurant front: It took much longer than anticipated, but Mark & Isabella, Phoenix-based restaurateur Mark Tarbell's second Colorado restaurant, has finally opened at 425 S. Teller St., just a short distance from The Oven (7167 W. Alaska Drive), Tarbell's popular pizza spot.

* Half a world away, Bombay Bowl, a fast-casual Indian restaurant, should be opening any day at 12023 Arapahoe Road in Centennial. The airy space, flanked by large windows, light-wood partitions and furnishings and walls brushed the color of paprika, is modern and minimalist. The menu includes contemporary dishes from four regions of India, all of which incorporate fresh vegetables, meats and a variety of sauces.

* Joining the fray of dim sum restaurants dotting the metro area, Heaven Star (7600 W. 120th Ave.), the second Chinese chow palace from the owners of Super Star Asian (2200 W. Alameda Ave.), is up and running in Broomfield.

* The Fox Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Bloom (1 W. FlatIron Crossing Drive), Sauce Pizza & Wine (5322 Denver Tech Center Blvd.) and NoRTH (190 Clayton Lane), is rolling out a slew of bargains through March 31 at all of its Colorado-based restaurants. Sauce is proffering a $20 winter sampler for two that includes a 12-inch pizza, salad and two glasses of house wine, which means you're stuck with merlot or chardonnay.

But grape gurus can swirl and sip from the loftier list at NoRTH, which is offering 50 percent off any bottle of wine every Monday night. Bloom is doling out the same deal on Tuesdays. Information: foxrestaurantconcepts.com/promotions_events.php.

* If you're not familiar with absinthe, the intense herbal liquor that was banned for nearly a century in France (and in the U.S., until 2007) for allegedly causing hallucinations and insanity, then here's your opportunity to experience it for yourself: Morton's in the Denver Tech Center (8480 E. Belleview Ave.) is hosting an absinthe-tasting tour from 6 to 7:30 p.m. March 30, complete with appetizers and absinthe and Pernod absinthe cocktails. It's $45 per person, including tax and gratuity. For tickets and reservations, call 303-409-1177.

* Just in time for Valentine's Day, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, with multiple locations throughout Colorado, has introduced a new four-course, prix-fixe dining deal for couples.
