Sometimes a special occasion calls for a celebration at a special restaurant, a place where you can splurge a bit and treat yourself to a pricey meal full of delicious food, incredible service and ambiance for a memorable experience fit for the occasion you are celebrating.

LoveFood compiled a list of the "most expensive restaurant" in every state, basing its choices on "the priciest main course or tasting menu, and avoiding spots with just one very expensive dish." According to the site, the top spot in all of Colorado is Beckon in Denver, an exclusive establishment with changing tasting menus based on lunar phases. Beckon, which has a 4.7 star rating on Google and more than 400 reviews, is located at 2842 Larimer Street.

Here's what the site had to say about this expensive Centennial State spot:

"Colorado has plenty of steakhouses guaranteed to put a dent in your bank balance, but to get the most bang for your buck, Denver locals love Beckon. This tiny, reservation-only chef's counter releases quarterly multi-course tasting menus in concurrence with the lunar phases, bringing the best of Colorado's seasons to your plate. The Scandi-cool restaurant has just 18 seats, and you can watch the team of chefs craft beautifully presented dishes before your eyes. Prices vary by season, but expect to pay around $195 per person for an unforgettable dinner."
