Business Description from the Web
Mizuna was chef/owner Frank Bonanno's first restaurant, and it remains his best. Impeccably serviced by a thoroughly professional floor staff, Mizuna is a comfortable neighborhood spot that draws crowds (and these days, cooks) from across the country, all coming to taste the first, best expression of Bonanno's ingredient obsessions, singular talent and hard work. From eternal classics like the...

Chef-owner Frank Bonanno knows how to transform butter and cream into comforting masterpieces at this cozy, charming eatery that sports warm colors and intimate seating. His menu is reminiscent of California's French Laundry, with quirky dishes such as "liver and onions" bringing foie gras and a sweet-onion tart, and his Italian heritage has given him the ability to work wonders with red sauce....

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

Other entrees include grilled beef tenderloin and rack of Colorado...

Soft yellow walls, lots of artwork and well-spaced tables set the tone for this cozy neighborhood restaurant. Arrive a little early and sit at the copper-fronted bar to get a great view of the intricate ballet taking place in the small open kitchen. Chef-owner Frank Bonanno calls this kitchen his food laboratory and, with a few exceptions such as the lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, the menu changes...

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...

Lets start with the homemade pumpernickel and caviar, and it gets better from there. A wonderful intimate restaurant with an extensive wine list. Small but special.
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
