Super quaint place to eat and the food was excellent. Dunton Kitchen is a hidden gem with a cozy, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxed meal. While the menu is limited, each dish is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The real standout is the service—friendly, attentive, and genuine. With just a few tables, it never feels crowded, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a quality dining experience.

Incredible farm to table experience with homegrown fruits and vegetables presented in a wonderfully creative fashion. Fabulous service with attention to detail. Chef Eric is a wealth of knowledge and very willing to share it. The setting is magnificent and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. You will genuinely feel that you are eating where your food is grown…how often does that happen? Highly recommend Black Cat for any occasion, but especially for special celebrations.

Platt Park

About the restaurant

Kizaki is Chef Toshi Kizaki’s long-awaited solo omakase restaurant, representing the pinnacle of his celebrated career and decades of influence in Denver’s culinary scene. After more than 40 years of success with Sushi Den, Chef Toshi returns to his roots with deep reverence for Edomae-style sushi—a 200-year-old Tokyo tradition that highlights the true character of each ingredient through precise Japanese techniques. Kizaki brings Denver its first authentic Edomae omakase, offering around 20 courses featuring raw, cured, seared, cooked, and dry-aged preparations. Guests can enjoy a full bar along with carefully selected sake, wine, or combined pairings to complement the experience. Omakase at the counter or table is $225 before tax. Drinks, additional sushi, and gratuity are not included. Reservation times are at 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Once all guests have arrived, we will transition to Kizaki, where the Omakase experience begins approximately 15 to 20 minutes after the scheduled time.

The was my second visit to Kizaki. Everything was truly outstanding and I found it to be impeccable on all levels. I have now been to both time slots and personally I prefer the 5:00 seating. I will certainly go again but will for a couple of months for a seasonal food change. If you are looking for exceptional experience, this is not to be missed.

About the restaurant

Chef Johnny Curiel debuts Mezcaleria Alma in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, bringing the dynamic spirit of Mexico City to life with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits menu. Located beside Curiel’s first solo restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma marks the natural next chapter in Curiel’s culinary journey to share the beauty of Mexico through food. Each dish and drink draws from Curiel’s experiences in one of the world’s most renowned culinary capitals—a city where culture and tradition merge with global inspiration and constant innovation.

While Alma Fonda Fina is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of Chef Curiel’s childhood—the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico—Mezcaleria Alma embodies the unbridled innovation that defines CDMX.
