About the restaurant

A word synonymous with generating buzz – from more than just the coffee! Troy Guard’s first ever breakfast concept serves up egg yolks and sunshine in a fun, lively, family-friendly atmosphere. Moms, Dads and Hipsters alike will enjoy washing it all down with one of our many boozy breakfast libations (don’t miss the screwdriver slushie)!

Celebrated my husband’s 60th in an Alpenglobe. Had a lovely time and our server Mark made it very special. We enjoyed our meal and would love to come back again someday. Favorite dish was the pulpo and the bread with special house butter. The mocktails were also lovely. Meat was on the rare side, we ordered medium rare but the center was quite rare. (The pass should have checked for this before sending out.) happy we ordered the Iberico ham. Couldn’t see the Flatirons from where we were, but it was still was a lovely experience.

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.

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.

Phenomenal - Chef Kate and her team have the perfect balance of genuine connection, personalization, and attention to detail. The long history and committed staff is proof that they are doing hospitality and culinary right. We savored every bite of Chef Kate’s ingenuity, and appreciated the sommelier’s suggested glass of wine that paired just perfectly. Casey was a gem and master of the dining room. Thank you everyone for a memorable evening. We will be in again!
