This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
What does this mean? →Why it's listed
Open; the Forbes-recognized dining room at The Little Nell (675 E Durant Ave). The current dinner menu (dated 06/20/26) lists Cross Creek Wagyu (5/8oz, $65/$85), an American Wagyu locally raised at a Colorado ranch. The lunch menu carries several more Wagyu preparations (a Wagyu burger, Nell Wagyu enchiladas, Wagyu pastrami, Wagyu chorizo, and a Wagyu steak add-on). The producer is named but the menu does not state a breed generation (fullblood/purebred/F1), so the American provenance standard is not fully met.
Authenticity flags
- The menu credits its Wagyu to Cross Creek, a Colorado ranch, but does not state whether the beef is fullblood, purebred, or a crossbred (F1) generation. Ask the kitchen if breed detail matters to you.
