Denver Restaurant Week: Mizuna

Denver Restaurant week is a special 2 week occasion that happens every year between February and March.  According to denver.org:
Denver Restaurant Week is a two-week celebration of the culinary scene in Denver. Participating restaurants will offer a multi-course dinner for the fixed price of $52.80 for two, or $26.40 for one (not including tax or gratuity).
The second and last restaurant my sister and I went to was Mizuna.  This has been our favorite restaurant in Denver for the past 3 years due, in main part, to the lobster macaroni and cheese.



That's right.  lobster + macaroni and cheese = bliss


The other items on the Denver restaurant week menu were equally as delectable, but, due to unfortunate camera problems, no pictures were produced to document these food treasures.

Despite the lack of pictures, I must mention Mizuna's take on the French Onion Soup.  My sister and I were both served a bowl with slowly cooked onions topped with thin slices of tender cooked veal.  The servers then came around pouring a veal broth on top and presented us with Gougeres (bread puffs stuffed with Gruyere cheese) to soak in the broth.  Simply amazing.

The chef of Mizuna even keeps his own blog to show the inspirations behind each of his dishes.  Here is the link: http://blog.frankbonanno.com/
