Editorial Review for Mizuna – by Ephraim Mallery

In Short
With its soft-yellow walls, artwork and well-placed tables, this small restaurant feels spacious and comfortable. The seasonal menu changes monthly and features unusual dishes such as green-tea poached sea bass. Even the macaroni and cheese includes juicy chunks of lobster smothered in creamy mascarpone sauce. Other entrees include grilled beef tenderloin and rack of Colorado lamb. For dessert, there's carrot and raisin griddle cakes topped with rum ice cream and syrup.

Insider Tips

Parking

The lot behind the restaurant on Grant Street and Seventh Avenue is free for customers. Be sure to grab a parking token on the way out.

The Extras

A six-course tasting menu ($60 per person) changes nightly and features the chef's most creative whims.

Know Before You Go

This is not the place to go if you are dining with a large group. The dining room is small and designed for intimate conversation.

User Reviews for Mizuna

We have tried the Tasting Menu paired with wine on several occasions. I must say that each time is better than the last. This past Saturday, we were treated to some of the best ostrich we've ever had. We heard so much about the lobster macaroni and cheese (which had never been presented as part of the tasting menu), we asked to have it added to the pasta course. Not only was it exceptional, it came with a wine pairing which was unexpected. If you are looking for the finest dining Denver has to offer, visit Mizuna and order the tasting menu paired with wine. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat before the theater… you won’t get to experience everything Mizuna has to offer.

Pros: Best food money can buy

Cons: Tables a little too close together for intimate conversations

My name is Frank Bonanno and I own Mizuna. I've never responded to a Citysearch review before, but to "cassidyguin:" we do not have a tuna appetizer on the March menu (we haven't had a tuna app in over a year); we do not have halibut on this month's menu (it's been out of season for about six months); our lamb bourguignonne is a far cry from Mediterannean; and although I spoke with every table Thursday evening, you were not among them. I'm very suspicious of this review.

Pros: Best food and service in the city

Cons: Can be difficult to get a spot on weekends
