New Two Stars

The Wolf's Tailor
Denver
Cuisine: Contemporary, Creative

Offering a seamless dining experience as intriguing as its name, this comfortable haven blends together creativity, attention to detail, and charm. Chef Taylor Stark and his team stitch together an ambitious multicourse menu from culinary influences near and far. The meal starts with a trio of canapés utilizing product trim, making a clear statement about the kitchen’s sustainable gastronomy efforts. From there, meals may include a Berkshire pork dumpling with a turmeric and dill broth, inspired by the flavors of Chiang Mai, or velvety Colorado bison loin plated with apricot and grilled zucchini glazed with a dried shrimp caramel.
A rigorous commitment to local sourcing as well as gorgeously manicured presentations underpin these far-flung creations. Drinks are another knockout: An in-depth beverage program of beguiling cocktails (and their dry counterparts) alongside brilliantly curated wines further enhance this one-of-a-kind experience.

New One Stars

Kizaki
Denver
Cuisine: Japanese

Going back more than four decades, Chef Toshi Kizaki has been a veritable trailblazer of Denver’s sushi scene, but even now in his seventies, he’s not content to rest on his laurels. In a culmination of his long career, he now raises the stakes with this luxurious counter, bringing a new echelon of omakase to the Mile High City. Blending traditional edomae techniques and creative modern flourishes, the extensive menu alternates between small dishes like gorgeously marbled black-and-white sesame tofu and nigiri carefully crafted by Chef Kizaki himself. Exceptional ingredient quality is a given from start to finish, spanning a treasure trove of oceanic delicacies, from buttery, lightly seared black-throat sea perch to silvery, vinegar-accented gizzard shad.

Margot
Denver
Cuisine: Contemporary

After years spent as an esteemed pop-up, Chef Justin Fulton’s passion project has found a permanent berth at a cozy eight-seat counter tucked inside a larger shared space. Offered as a contemporary multicourse tasting that follows the seasons, his signature cuisine is both global and distinctly Coloradan, taking inspiration from local ingredients while weaving together wide-ranging influences. Examples might include airy Parisian gnocchi bathed in a luxurious sauce of mascarpone and caviar, or impeccably cooked dry-aged duck breast matched with cherries and a rich, subtle truffle jus. Individual loaves of fluffy olive oil brioche, freshly baked for each guest, capture the meal’s easygoing charms, echoed by the disarmingly warm hospitality of the staff.

Mezcaleria Alma
Denver
Cuisine: Mexican

Lightning strikes twice for dynamo Chef Johnny Curiel with this parallel concept cheek-by-jowl next to his celebrated flagship. As the name suggests, the small stylish space has a mezcal bar vibe—and a list of inventive, mouthwatering agave spirit-based cocktails to go with it—but it’s also a showcase for Chef Curiel’s culinary talents. Evoking the vibrant creativity of Mexico City’s restaurant scene, the succinct menu is sprinkled with international flavors, as in an herbaceous ceviche of kanpachi that incorporates dill and roasted garlic, or a subtly spiced aguachile of Santa Barbara uni and Hokkaido scallop with mandarin and crispy ginger. Meats, like tender, slow-cooked duck piled atop a crisp blue corn tlacoyo and accented with zingy xni-pec salsa, show similar éclat.
