Chef-owner Frank Bonanno knows how to transform butter and cream into comforting masterpieces at this cozy, charming eatery with warm colors and intimate seating. His menu is reminiscent of California's French Laundry, with quirky dishes such as "liver and onions" (foie gras and a sweet-onion tart), and his Italian heritage has given him the ability to work wonders with red sauce, such as in his inimitable ragout. Be sure to try the griddle cakes for dessert, and expect to be served by the most professional staff in town.

I had the most wonderful experience at Mizuna's. I was by myself on a business trip and I decided to treat myself to a what I hoped would be a delicious dinner. I had no idea how fantastic it would be. I ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairing which turned out to be a great idea. I totally left all of the decisions up to the chef. I think eventually every wait staff brought me a piece of my dinner, the sommelier described every glass of wine, and a true bonus, the chef/owner Frank Bonanno brought me two of my dishes. (Do you know all the countries he's cooked in? I am jealous.) It was a fabulous dining experience, one where I felt truly pampered. Definately worth the trip to Denver! (Atmosphere great, but compared to home....)
