This was the perfect experience for a celebration dinner. I tried the Chefs tasting menu and it was phenominal (I saw other reviews were very negative about this, but it was on par with Michelin meals I've had, highly recommend). I came to celebrate closing on a house and the staff could not have been friendlier. You can tell that it's a collaborative environment and everyone seemed to help each other and really get along well (special shout out to Clare who seemed to be everywhere at once!). Overall amazing food, good service and ambiance, I will definitely be back and cannot recommend enough! read more

The duck is amazing! The ambeance is wonderful. Came here for a company dinner, and everything was to perfection. Only 4 stars for waiting 20 mins for a drink. The food however, was amazing. WILL go back again. read more

One of my favorite meals of all time. The food here is not to be believed. For my appetizer I had the lobster mascarpone mac & cheese. My god was it good. That was followed by my main, duck with foie gras dirty rice. AKA, decadence on a plate.And then I finished off with apple ginger beignets, worthy of giving Cafe du Monde a run for their money. And yes, this was in Denver. read more

When you first walk in you realize that this is a very tiny place. We were immediately greeted and our coats taken. Then we were escorted to the tiny bar area while are table was made ready. We were a party of two and were seated facing the window in a seating arrangement that had all of the ambiance and privacy of an Arbys. Literally you could hear conversations on both sides of the table. This was very annoying and very public as people were looking at our food and we could hear every comment. The waiter assummed that we were cheap because we didnt order a salad but in fact warm spinach and something with figs in it didnt sound appealing at all. The food was phenomenal and cooked to perfection but we still left wanting more ambiance fore our fine dining dollars. If you go in a larger group you wont be pushed up to the window with neighbors on both sides. This place is clearly for wine enthusiasts and their bar leaves a lot to be desired if you prefer cocktails or beer. read more

We were originally a party of 8 but some last minute work-related cancellations made the final number 5. They were very accommodating of that. I've been to Mizuna a few times though it has been a few years since I'd been back. Perhaps memories are always better but I remember the food being better than it was this night. We started out with the lobster mac and cheese, the veal, and the duck. The veal and duck were very, very good. The lobster mac and cheese? Hardly any lobster and the mac and cheese seemed almost like it came out of a box...? Somewhat watery. I had the brioche encrusted halibut. It was okay. Others in my party were happy with their NY Strips. I suppose I should've stuck with steak. The service was mostly attentive though they sort of slacked on removing plates after they had long been finished. Still, they were on top of wine and drink service and I appreciate that. All in all, it was just okay but it's been better in the past. read more

Perhaps the people who have rated Mizuna low aren't familiar with high-end places...? I don't know, it seems weird, and it's a shame someone would rate this place because of an old "sign" outside instead of focusing and enjoying Frank Bonnano's amazing food. Any fancy, high-end restaurant, one that focuses on not only great food, but presentation (given that food is an art as well, and should play upon the visual sense) usually give appropriate portions; the menu is usually ala cart, and clearly higher up in price. I've been eating at Mizuna for over 10 years and I haven't once had a bad meal, or bad service. Their menu changes each month, and everything on it is fresh and prepared exquisitely. The ambiance if very nice, especially the little cozy back room where they keep a wall of some really great wine. Of course, if you treat yourself to Mizuna's, you must have their amazing appetizer, "Lobster Mac and Cheese!" It's divine. Hand's down, our favorite place -- one we share with many, many friends and family. read more

In my, seemingly, endless quest to find the the quintessential dining experience, it is rare that the actual event comes anywhere close to the hype, and my deep-seated craving for the ultimate epicurean adventure remains unsated. It was with few real expectations that I made my reservation for Mizuna in Denver, Colorado. I would soon discover that I had completely underestimated them. Upon entering, as the rest of my party was being seated, I went straight to the open, but shallow, kitchen to quiz the chefs about what I should get. The response of, "I don't know. It's all good" was, at the least, unsatisfying. I tried a different approach with, "What are you passionate about?" The muted reply of "everything" left me feeling that the kitchen had either no pride or the food would leave me wanting . . . again. With a whimsical revelation that I intended to put myself in their hands, I joined my fellow diners. Our waiter, a towering man with an obvious air of competence, described the tasting and the prix fixe menus. I knew I wanted the tasting menu, but my companions would need to sign on as the whole table must participate. Luckily, it didn't take much coaxing to accomplish this. I asked about the wines, and was informed that the sommelier would be over in short order. A woman of grace and elegance, she listened attentively as I described the type of wine I would like: chardonnay--oaky, buttery, and we tend to like those from the Sonoma region. Without hesitation, she recommended the Walter Hansel Russian River Chardonnay--an amazing wine that left all of us exclaiming how good it was. We snacked on bread that was baked in-house (the boules are stacked up in the window as you enter the restaurant). Regular, herb, and sea salted butter were tasty, but we could have omitted them because the fortified bread needed no adornment to be wonderful. Over the next three hours, The kitchen would, with military precision, turn out eight phenomenal courses. At this point, I actually find myself at a loss. As I search for words that might adequately describe the texture of the shaved, smoked salmon so thin that it was nearly translucent, the succulent pop of the caviar as it burst on my tongue, the refined flavors of the foie gras, the crunch of perfectly seared char, or the delicate pink hues of precisely timed beef tenderloin, I realize that English is far too crude to adequately describe such works of art. While always flavorful and beautifully presented, nothing was ever pretentious. Every piece of garnish, every ingredient, and every drop of liquid had a very specific role in supporting the flavor profiles of the dishes. Throughout the evening, the staff attended to every detail. Get up to go to the bathroom, and a new napkin would be awaiting your return. Take a drink of water and your glass would be topped off. Finish a course, and there would be a flurry of activity as the team of highly-trained waiters swept away the old, scraped away crumbs, refilled wine glasses, and prepared for the next course. Then, in an instant, they would return to the darkened nooks of the restaurant to watch over us in silence. Not once did we have to ask for anything--ever. They knew what we would need and executed its delivery flawlessly. This was the single best meal of my entire life. What I had, foolishly, mistaken for a lackadaisical attitude in the kitchen was, in reality, a glimpse of the truth: everything is good and the passion is reflected everywhere. Mizuna is the closest thing you'll find to a Michelin-three-star experience in a casual, jeans-friendly environment. While I would be hesitant to say that my quest for the ultimate dining experience has been completed (will it really ever?), this is the closest to my vision of perfection that I've found so far, and everything else will be compared to their yardstick. read more

We ate here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and sat next to 2 other couples here for the same reason. Anniversary central. It is tough to choose between 4 or 5 stars. We were a little puzzled by the pig's ear appetizer. Did we eat an ear or not? I think not. Octopus was delicious. Halibut slightly dry, but very fresh. NY steak tasty but no crunch on the outside. Braised short rib on the side was great. Bread and butter fabulous. Warm chocolate cake dessert was the bomb! Service was very efficient and friendly. Wine list is extensive and expensive. All in all, a very fine special occasion restaurant, priced for those with a platinum credit card in their wallet. read more

To get five stars, you really need to be exemplary in all aspects -- food, service, wine, and decor. Mizuna is just a bit too cramped and a bit to casual to really be in the top tier of American restaurants. A group of six of us had dinner there last night. Although we had a wonderful time and the tasting menu was spectacular in the most part, there were several dishes that were noticeably wrong. To start, the five amuse bouche from the five chefs were brilliant. Some of us thought the lobster bisque was best or the salmon rillettes on homemade pumpernickel or the asparagus mouse with creme frais and caviar, but I liked the smoked duck and microgreens and the hamachi and pickled jalapeno. The second course of Forme d'Albert blue cheese mousse on nut crust with frissee was my favorite dish of them all. The pasta dish with morels and rabbit was the first dish to suffer the unbalanced handling also seen in the main course. I love salt more than most people and will be the first to grab the shaker and pour it on, but this dish was TOO salty. The grilled sea bass on celeriac risotto was a crisoy perfection, but the gorgeous lamb chop was ruined by a salty sauce. The chocolate cake and macadamia ice cream was alright, but certainly not spectacular. The wine flight that accompanied the dinner was appropriate, but in no way distinguished. I liked the "fizzy" pinot noir and the port with dessert, but the Chablis and pinot noir were less than adequate. Overall, it was a very, very nice dinner and I would probably like to go there again, if for no other reason than to sample their famous lobster mac and cheese, but if I never return to Denver, I won't miss this restaurant greatly. read more

My favorite restaurant in Denver (so far!). The wait staff is excellent - thorough and efficient, and the menu is varied, fresh, and phenomenal. I've always been pleased with the sommelier's advice and anecdotes! The lobster mac & cheese is nothing short of decadent with it's mascarpone-enriched pasta and butter-poached lobster. You must try this dish at least once! There is literally something for everyone at Mizuna - a good 8 or 9 different entrees from which to choose. My last meal there, I got the ostrich loin, which was lean, expertly prepared, and delicious. Definitely at the top of my list for a special dinner out. It's perfect for a romantic evening a deux, or to entertain out-of-town guests. You will not be disappointed! read more

this is one of the handful of restaurants in Denver that bring the evolved intricacies of cuisine to our palate without being kitschy or trendy. Frank Bonnano's talents are simple and straight-forward; I see chefs all over town "borrowing" his ideas. he knows what works; don't let his grittiness fool you, he is a sensitive artist and a delicate soul. the menu is beautiful; there is always duck confit to be found, the french onion soup is savory beyond expectation, of course the lobster mac 'n cheese is famous in this town for good reason; so simple and wonderful. you'll always find interesting cuts such as rabbit or ostrich prepared with interesting and unique accompaniments. great wines, good bartender. (I usually hit this place for a glass of wine and an appetizer. and Jameson's, neat. keeps it affordable.) oh yeah, I almost forgot - Pancetta-wrapped Monkfish! read more

Maybe we caught them on an off night but the food was salty and lackluster. I had such high hopes because all other restaurants we've dined at in Denver have been so great. I would say maybe come in on Fri, Sat, or Sun night because that's probably when they actually try. Definitely not worth the price for fine dining. Also, make sure to dress up...i mean really dress up or else they'll treat u like shit and stick u in a back room where they literally keep the wine. Funny thing, the next day I literally went to a food truck where the food was better and was less $ than the tip we left at this place place...if only i would have known :( read more

One of the best restaurants in Denver. The food is well-crafted and the menu is diverse and interesting. Everything I've ever had here is well-executed and flavorful. The decor is tasteful and minimalistic, but beautifully done. Best of all, save room for dessert. Mmmmm...the gelato is delicious, and I had some chocolate torte thing that made me swear off desserts elsewhere forever. read more

Def one of the best restaurant I've gone too!! The food was really tender and flavored!! Goose liver and duck breast was really good!! Melts in your mouth but not over cooked or raw!! The servers could be a little more polite but still doesn't ruin the good food for me!! read more

Well first things first, food is tiny price is hefty. However, even with that said every thing I ate was yummy. Started with the mussels. Broth was spectacular, but seriously there were 8 mussels...8 all for the bargain price of 15 dollars! Next up lobster mac and cheese...21 dollars for one cup of food, but seriously to die for amazing taste! Main course scallops, perfectly cooked a little spicy and of course 37 dollars for 3 scallops. All and all I had a great meal, food was good, but it's a place you go one and done. It's too pricy for a return. read more

Mizuna - Scallops - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

When I was planning my initial visit to Denver I selected Mizuna as the restaurant to which I'd take my demented Internet girlfriend on our first date. Very snooty establishment . . . especially considering that the dining area is jam packed with about 50 tiny little tables not much bigger than a tray table. The diner on my left was seated less than a foot away . . . if I slipped I could've spilled my Port in his lap or poked him with my fork. Damn, this place was crowded! Our server was very professional, especially considering that we were hardly dressed formally . . . or even "business casual." My demented Internet girlfriend was fully Gothed out . . . and appeared on the verge of a panic attack by the overwhelming normalcy of the surrounding patrons. This I found somewhat amusing, and ordered another glass of vintage Port. Never tried foie gras before -- and this was nearly raw, just seared on either side -- and quite possibly the best thing I've ever tasted. It was indescribably good. Unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of the meal (aside from the Port). The Cheese Platter was unremarkable and overpriced. Little globs of smelly cheese with tiny little slivers of wafer to smear them on and a dab of jelly to dip it in. Didn't work for me, but I ate it. The $9 brie and fruit plate at Watercourse was much better than this pretentious attempt at a cheese sampler. The salad my date ordered was okay, but she'd barely touched it before some evil wench (who was NOT our server) came over and reached out for it, saying, "Are you finished enjoying your salad?" I informed said wench that that was certainly not the case and she left in a huff without her free salad to gobble during her lunch break. This was about 6 months ago so I forget what entree and dessert we ordered, but I do recall that the dessert was disappointing. Overcrowded and pretentious . . . but that foie gras was incredible. read more

After hearing good things about Mizuna my friend and I tried it tonight and were not disappointed. The wait staff is very pleasant and the sommelier was knowledgeable and very helpful in suggesting wines for our taste. We ended up ordering an Astral is Clarendon Hills 2008 which had full fruit but soft and pleasant tannin. ($190.) For appetizers we chose the lobster mac and cheese, a creamy delight, and the octopus with sausage and other accompanying ingredients. Could have used more of the octopus in it. My main course was the duck served as 6 sliced medium rare breast pieces and a a nice piece of crispy duck with a piece of bok choy. Both were nice ,but I thought the crispy duck had great taste and texture over the sliced version. My friend ordered the beef wellington, which was nicely done medium rare, tender, and flavorful. For dessert we tried the pear cake which was excellent with a cup of cappuccino. I might have done a couple of things a little differently, but we all have different tastes, so I give them 5 stars for the overall dining experience. read more

Mizuna - Octopus salad appetizer - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My sister had been wanting to try Foie Gras for a while so I told her I would take her where ever she wanted to give it a try as her birthday present. She did some research and decided on Mizuna. Wow. I have never been in a nicer, fancier restaurant. We split the Foie Gras appetizer and it was delicious and the perfect size for two to share as an app. We each order and entree and drinks and both were outstanding! I ordered the Shrimp and Grits (the grits were cauliflower grits~awesome!) and a drink called the aquamini. I am not sure what was in the drink but i could have drank a dozen! My sister, as I predicted, ordered the duck. Now, I don't even like duck and it was awesome. All in all, it was wonderful. Something that could be done every 5 years on my budget, but lovely and delicious and unusual. read more

I have had the pleasure of dining at Mizuna a few times now, and can honestly say it's my favorite restaurant in Denver. If I could, I would eat here at least once a month :) The open kitchen, warm wait staff, romantic ambiance, distinct wine collection and fine cuisine make this restaurant one of the best in the city. Their menu changes frequently and nothing has disappointed me yet. I've tried a little bit of everything on their menu. The appetizers have ranged from cornish game hen to stone crab to rabbit - and I have tried entrees consisting of veal, fish and pork. Each rich in flavor and unique. I would recommend Mizuna to anybody, and can't wait to return and indulge on amazing food and wine soon. read more

Let me start with a complaint- then, we can move on to the good stuff. In this era of social responsibility, in this hip city full of granola munching new-wave yoga freaks, in this leanest state in the nation, must we still endure seeing VEAL on menus at the finest restaurants in town? One would think that, perhaps, with an age of greater social enlightenment upon us, restaurateurs and diners would, on this one issue, elevate themselves above the level of mere walking taste buds. I am an unabashed carnivore, but I loathe the manner in which veal is produced so much that I will not sit at the table if veal is ordered by a member of the party- I immediately pay for whatever I've already consumed and vacate the restaurant. I cannot imagine any human being with a functioning conscience waking up in the morning and thinking, "Today's dinner shall be a baby animal stripped from its mother at birth, raised in a cage too small for it to take a step or turn around, force fed, sickened by the lack of mother's milk, and released from its cage- too weak to walk due to muscle atrophy- only to be killed." This is the reason I will not return to Mizuna- nor to several of the other metro area restaurants at which I have enjoyed spectacular meals. I have had it up to here with watching trendy fashionistas in designer sunglasses with handbags that cost more than my monthly rent payment order veal. It is getting a bit too difficult to refrain from giving strangers a piece of my mind and being subsequently removed from the dining room by force. Were I not so particularly fuming mad about the number of diners chowing on veal when I ate at Mizuna, I would issue a four or five star review on the basis of their delicious entrees, sides that pair healthful vegetables and legumes with savory sauces, and most of all the absolutely phenomenal chocolate torte. If you dine here, please, save room for the torte. You may find yourself joining a twelve step program shortly thereafter in hopes of stopping your compulsive Mizuna-torte-ordering habits- consider yourself warned. So, a challenge to Denver's fine restaurants- the ones that attract out-of-town high rollers and local socialites alike: Improve your menu with more choices for the meat-eating animal welfare supporter. Remove veal and foie gras- nobody will miss them too badly, especially if you replace them with selections like pasture-raised pork- just the thought of a completely guilt-free pork chop prepared by one of Denver's top culinary wizards makes my mouth water. read more

A quaint neighborhood find...thanks to Yelp! First off, the restaurant is comfortable and we were lucky enough to get seated in a room by ourselves - great for conversation. The service was beyond professional and thoroughly educated on everything on the menu. To start, the homemade bread and butter were to die for...I could have made that my meal and been happy. Not really after tasting so many other amazing things! For starters we shared the beet salad, the lobster mac 'n cheese, the ricotta cavatelli, and the asparagus salad - all fresh, flavorful and delicious. For my entree, I enjoyed the Alaskan halibut - perfectly cooked and complimented by a risotto croquette and an artichoke cream...yummy! For dessert, we shared the pistachio gateau, the white chocolate torte with strawberries and rhubarb and the meyer lemon pie...wow, were these sweets amazing! Also, the sommelier paired our meals perfectly with white and red wines. Definitely a first class dining experience! read more

Mizuna is one of Frank Bonanno's many restaurants in Denver. I've had mostly good experiences at Osteria Marco (my pizza was way overcooked one time.) and Bones was awesome. Going to Mizuna has always been a desire of mine that I figured I wouldn't get to fulfill for a while due to it being on the pricier side of things and my difficulty in talking myself into going to places in this price range when I can go to places I love that cost half as much. My luck turned when a friend decided we would be going there for his birthday last night. The whole experience was great. We split a few appetizers (the Housemade Ricotta Tortellini, BBQ Wagy Beef Short Rib sliders, and Lobster mac and cheese.) The short rib sliders were my personal favorite. For my entree I chose the Hudson Valley Duck Breast. (with a whiskey peach reduction, cornbread, and Duck Confit) The duck was cooked perfectly, the reduction was delicious. Colorado peaches are in season so it was in the cornbread and there was a grilled peach on the side. All in all an A+ The wine parings were great, the staff we friendly and knowledgeable. My only criticism is really the ambiance of the place. The restaurant itself is kind of plain Jane. The art is paintings of their kitchen which is kind of cool, but the overall feel left me wanting a bit more. Other people mentioned this in their reviews, so I know I'm not alone in this assessment. I also know that the food and service are most important to them, and it shows. read more

We had a group of 6 for dinner on a Saturday night at 8 pm. The place was somewhat noisy which made it hard to hear with our larger group, but we were seated right by the door/hostess stand and kinda in the middle of everything. I imagine a table for 2 or 4 off to the side would be quieter. It did seem as though they had sort of squeezed us in as an afterthought, as our round table was pushed up next to a pole, which sat right between 2 of our friends and was awkward. This was upsetting as we had made the reservation 2 months in advance. I would expect better out of a restaurant of this caliber. The service was top notch, very attentive and professional without being snooty. The prices are very reasonable, considering the type of restaurant and service. The food was nice - creative, fresh and seasonal. It was richer and heavier than i generally like. read more

The perfect pick for my birthday dinner. Sexy and elegant with the charm and charisma of low-key Denver. I seriously loved everything about it. If you're not getting the lobster mac and cheese, then you're doing it wrong, bc I've had my fair share of lobster mac and this tops the charts. The duck was prepared perfectly and the wine selection was amazing. My companion's tuna was also prepped perfectly and was delish, as well. Finished up with the yummy molten chocolate cake and couldn't have been happier. read more

Outstanding service and great menu. I came here with my boyfriend and his parents, and we ordered 4 beef wellingtons (we will try the other items next time, but we simply couldn't resist). and it was cooked to perfection. Their dessert menu is also quite sophisticated: definitely try the goat cheese cheesecake and Mille-Feuilles. The ambiance is very classy and relaxing. read more

Great place to celebrate an event. Small, cozy, quiet space where you can have a conversation without shouting. Had the foie gras and the venison. Both prepared perfectly. The venison as tender and tasteful as I have ever had. Had a bottle of their Puligny-Montrachet. Not a great example of this part of Burgundy and over-priced! All in all, quite an enjoyable evening. read more

This is most likely the overall best restaurant in Denver! Ladies if you got date and he takes you here you might have a keeper! Don't forget the dessert... read more

The best Lobster Mac and Cheese in town! But: Beef Wellington is my fav. dish! The best ever service! Mizuna is very classy and romantic. read more

Every dish we had was a revelation! I have been wanting to check out Mizuna since moving to Denver (and seeing a sexy pic of the Beef Wellington on the cover of 5280) and it did not disappoint! We started with the lobster mac and cheese - definitely glad we shared it because so decadent! Then had a delicious salad, followed by the beef Wellington - perfectly cooked, luscious (never thought I would use that word to describe meat!), tender meat circumscribed in flaky, buttery pastry. Definitely a dish one should try in one's lifetime! It also was my birthday and it seemed like everyone -- including the hostess-- knew and went out of their way to make me feel special . Definitely will go down as one of the best meals I've ever had! read more

High expectations were met. Great staff! Great food. We had the roasted bacon appetizer, which was uniquely amazing. I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection. My wife was deciding between the striped bass and grouper. The waiter steered her toward the grouper. When it came she said it smelled fishy. She took one bite and the waiter happened to see her reaction. She told him it was fishy and in no time it was replaced with the grouper. What could have otherwise been a horrible experience was swiftly turned into a great experience. The grouper was fantastic and the service was top notch. This is exactly what you expect from a place of this magnitude. Highly impressed. For dessert we were steered toward the gingerbread belgian waffle. What a treat! The atmosphere was quaint. We will look forward to our next experience here. read more

Man I dont know how this place doesnt have 5 stars across the board. This is where I ask my pops to take me EVERY year for my bday. We sit up at the bar which I usually dont like at other restaurants but at Mizuna they have the greatest bartenders. Last time they gave us a little mini-wine tasting course while we ate. And we were there forever. Had apps, soup, dinner and dessert. And then a night cap. I recommend the lobster mac. I dont know if they invented it or what but they definitely perfected it. But you cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Say whats up to Frank, he owns the joint and is a super nice guy. read more

Seriously pointless to write a review for this place. Not sure what can be said that hasn't been already. Food was crazy good, service was crazy good, the location is kinda crazy and the outside street appeal needs improved like crazy. I strongly recommend the chef's pairing. Let your server take you down the primrose path. You really can't go wrong. And seriously, if you are worried about the extra $20 it costs, then you should just save an additional $5 by swinging by Jack-in-the-Box on the way home and get dessert. read more

My experience at Mizuna was an absolute treat. Literally every single thing that I put in my mouth that night was completely delicious. Ever since I first tried foie gras when I was a young kid growing up in the New Orleans area, I have had a love for it that can compare to very few pleasures in the world, and Mizuna's foie definitely hit the mark. We also had the veal sweetbreads and the lobster mac and cheese to start. Nothing disappointed. For our entrees, I had the veal tenderloin that melted in my mouth, and my wife had the lamb. Again, everything was perfectly executed. We also had the Shrimp and Grits bc I am from NOLA and I had to try them. IMHO, idk if we could actually call them shrimp and grits as the 'grits' were made from cauliflower instead of the traditional corn, but they were nonetheless very tasty, and in fact, I sort of wish that I would have grown up with Mizuna's cauliflower grits instead of the traditional grits most of us are used to. The dish as a whole was completely different in so many ways to regular shrimp n grits that I really dont think I could fairly compare all of the shrimp n grits ive had in the past to Mizuna's version. Still, however, very tasty. The Sommelier was also very helpful, as I am very specific with my wine orders and Kellie (not sure I spelled his name right), checked all of the boxes that I asked him to and provided us with the perfect accompaniment for our meal. Our waitress, Heather, was also very friendly and helpful. I will def be going back to Mizuna as much as possible during my time in Denver. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Mizuna to celebrate Valentine's Day and could not have had a better experience. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and the manager walked us over to a cocktail bar around the corner to enjoy a drink (on them!) while we waited for our seats to open. This was above and beyond anything we expected, but totally set the tone for the rest of our meal. We sat at the bar and enjoyed getting to know the bartender and waitstaff, who were all wonderful. The food and drinks were exquisite- I still dream about the crab cake to this day! The courses were perfectly spaced out and all of the samples and palate cleansers turned a three-course meal into a true culinary journey. The complimentary champagne and treats were a welcome surprise too. Even on a holiday weekend, we were still treated like royalty. I'm writing this review two months later because my boyfriend and I still talk about how much we loved our experience, both with the food and the service. If you're looking for a high-end dining experience, this is worth every penny. read more

Mixing is a little expensive for what you get. The appetizers were good. The king crab salad with shaved carrots and jalapeño and vinaigrette tasted good. I took a bite from my friends plate but had their lox salad instead with shaved beets. The ostrich meal was the best. But the dessert was why I didn't give them five stars. After my second visit this place is awesome!! read more

Mizuna - Very nice but hidden place in Lodo. - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

By far my favorite restaurant in Denver! Amazing food and the service was superb! Highly recommend to my friends and family.

This has been on my to eat at list for years so I was so happy when Cheryl L. suggested going. Reservations are necessary and take advantage of the free valet too. Upon being seated we were given wonderful bread with 3 types of butter. One was salted, herb & plane. I had to stop eating it so I could enjoy the meal. We started with the Slow Roasted Pork Belly, which sadly was not the highlight. Later when the manager stopped by we did share with her and she was very receptive to our critique. It had dried out and the waffles were had as rocks. We were not charged for this item. OK, after that it got all better. I enjoyed and practically licked my plate clean of the Slow Roasted Duck Breast- served with Spring Garlic Emulsion, Ricotta Gnudi, Duck Confit. It was so perfectly cooked medium rare. I wouldn't have changed anything about it. And what meal is not complete with a dessert. I got the Strawberry Rhubarb Millefeuille with Sweet Basil Sauce, Fresh Strawberries. It was light and good, but I should've gotten something with chocolate. If you've never mixed berries & basil you're missing out. So, at the end of the day and meal, I do look forward to returning here again for a yummy meal and enjoyable experience. read more
