Fine-dining restaurants will always have a place in the world if you don't mind splurging some money and dressing up for a lavish meal. People usually visit these luxurious establishments for special occasions or to experience a critically acclaimed menu from talented chefs. While they're largely concentrated in metropolitan hotspots like New York and Chicago, they can be found in smaller cities and communities, as well.
That's why 24/7 Tempo compiled a list of the best dining restaurants in every state. Writers looked to reviews and ratings from local websites about these establishments before making their final choices.
Mizuna was crowned Colorado's best fine-dining restaurant! Diners can look forward to classic American dishes with several cultural influences and flavors, including Italian, French and Japanese. Here's why writers selected this esteemed eatery:
"Its name might refer to Japanese mustard greens, but this warmly furnished neighborhood treasure, overseen by noted local chef Frank Bonanno, proposes an American menu with an occasional nod to Italy or France (cacio e pepe risotto, seared diver scallops with pommes gaufrettes), and with Japan referenced only with a few ingredients, like yuzu, shishito peppers, and A5 Japanese wagyu."
You can find this restaurant at 225 E 7th Ave. in Denver.
