   Uchi has always been our go-to restaurant for special family occasions, and for good reason—the exceptional freshness of the ingredients and the chefs' creativity keep us coming back time and time again. We’ve celebrated many milestones here, and the outstanding food and ambiance have never disappointed. However, our most recent visit, in honor of my dad’s 67th birthday, was bittersweet. My father had flown in from overseas after seven years apart, making this celebration incredibly meaningful for our family. While the food, as always, was impeccable, our experience with our server, Tiffany, fell short of Uchi’s usual standard of hospitality. Tiffany was undoubtedly professional and knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through our selections with expertise. That said, her overall attitude left much to be desired. At one point, when we politely asked her to take a few family photos, she rolled her eyes and sighed—a reaction that was impossible to miss. We chose not to say anything in the moment because we didn’t want to dampen my family’s first experience at Uchi, especially on such an important night. But as a loyal customer who has always held Uchi in high regard, I was genuinely hurt by this dismissive behavior. Perhaps Tiffany was having an off night or was stretched too thin, but in a restaurant of Uchi’s caliber, where every detail is usually perfected, service should match the excellence of the food. I still believe in Uchi’s magic, and I hope future visits will restore our full confidence in both the culinary and service experience. This occasion, however, was a rare miss in what has otherwise been a consistently outstanding dining journey. Irina K.

   Food delicious as always, but we were expecting an excellent service (as always) because it was our anniversary but not today.

   I have now eaten here 3 times and my experience has been similar each time. The descriptions are exciting but the taste is only fair. The portions are small and it is quite expensive. There are many better Japanese options in the Denver area.
