"OK, so Uchi is technically in Curtis Park, but since the Denver outpost of the Austin-born sushi spot is only a block from RiNo and is so freaking good, we’re including it here. There are many different ways to do Uchi—Happy Hour nigiri in the lounge, a 10-course omakase in a private room, sizzling wagyu hot rock in the woodsy dining room—but our favorite is to grab a perch at the lively bar and pick something off the long list of daily specials that never disappoint. Just keep in mind that it’s perpetually busy, so you’ll want to drop in early." - allyson reedy
