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.

Supremely Over-rated
by snowcrow
We were excited to dine at Mizuna after reading and hearing so very much about it., but sadly disappointed at the flavor and preparation of the food. The abalone appetizer was just a sad waste of a lovely ingredient---the abalone was so finely minced it lost all its characteristic texture and flavor. My dish of scallops was lovely, I'll admit. My partner had duck which neither of us can remember much about except that the waiter asked if it's flavor was too bold as it was a new dish the chef was putting out. Desert of pain perdu was a shockingly bad---the fried bread tasted of old skillet. The service was ho-hum at best---the sommelier visited every table in the room expect ours except when he had to reach across our table several times to pull wine off a rack on the wall. Overall, over-hyped.
- Pros: Popular!
- Cons: Not up to the hype in flavor or service

Mizuna Saturday Night
by milehigheater
If I could give 4.5 I would the tasting menu we had this past weekend was just fantastic. From the heirloom tomato soup served chilled to the duck confit and pasta dish that just blew us away. This was the best dining experience we have had in Colorado so far. If you would like to see pictures and a much more detailed review please see my blog at www.milehigheater.blogspot.c o m
- Pros: Fantastic food
- Cons: a bit expensive

Hands down, the best in Denver
by drlsubaru
We absolutely love Mizuna. My wife and I are huge foodies and every time we go to Mizuna we are blown away. Call us creatures of habit, but everytime we go we get the same thing - Lobster Mac & Cheese followed by the seasonal Ostrich and she'll get either salmon, tuna, or vegetarian. My brother-in-law is the manager of one of Denver's finest restaurants and he will even admit that the lamb chops at Mizuna are the best he's ever had. Mizuna's seasonal menu changes all the time, which keeps us on our toes and kees us coming back for more!
- Pros: Attentive service, creative food
