4. Mizuna
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Larry HerzWe're all guilty of forgetting about the legendary Denver restaurants like @mizuna_denver in favor of the new ones. I went to Mizuna this week and it's still one of the best restaurants in Colorado. This was the first restaurant by my friend @cheffrankbonanno. He now has 12 restaurants.
I sat down to eat on 7th Ave under a tent that had artwork hanging in it! The waiter came by with a cold eucalyptus towel. 7 courses later the server gave me a box of donuts that he instructed me to have with breakfast. Attention to detail! That's how you stay in business for over 20 years.
I'm sorry it's been so long🙇
