LoHi’s New Sushi Patio

It’s that time of year again for Colorado – The Denver Restaurant Week. What’s a unique way to enjoy it this year? We’re the only restaurant in town that serves Shabu Shabu, so we’re also the only place you can get it, even for Denver Restaurant Week. Since we just opened last summer (2014), it is our first time to participate and your chance to indulge in a full-on Shabu Shabu or Sukiyaki 3-course meal for only $30/person during this 10-day event. The countdown has started to its kick-off on February 20th…better hurry to enjoy and learn more! We remember back in the day when Denver Restaurant Week was born. It started as 5280 Restaurant Week by the much-loved magazine, 5280 . Remember that? It focused more on getting a full 3-course meal at some pretty nice restaurants for the great price of $52.80 for a couple. Great theme they had going since that also ties in with Denver ‘s elevation of 5,280ft. above sea-level. Of course they also made it possible for individual enjoyment at half the couple’s price. Now in its 11th year, it’s evolved and grown, continuing to give everyone an affordable and discounted way to try out Denver’s top restaurants. Now it’s called Denver Restaurant Week and the price is only $30 per person / $60 per couple. Not only does it take place annually (this year from February 20th – March 1st), but for the past few years it also takes place for two weeks around the end of summer/beginning of fall. Check out below our amazing menu for Denver Restaurant Week (please note that the current menu on the DRW page is not correct and the one below is the correct one). You’ll see what an amazing opportunity it is to enjoy not just our Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki, but our small plates and desserts as well. We’re also making sure to give you an upgrade option if you want to savor our American Kobe (Wagyu) Beef by Snake River Farms . Make reservations soon, because we’re already filling up! We can’t wait to have you dine with us soon.

We’re counting down the days to welcoming sushi to our dining experience. Are you excited yet? You will be when you realize that our location is one of the few restaurants in our awesome neighborhood of Lower Highland that has a sunny outdoor patio for enjoying sushi and our traditional Shabu Shabu. So when is the big release date? Lean in close and we’ll let you in on what we know… Getting ready to introduce sushi to a restaurant menu takes a lot of work. It takes the proper prep space and experienced staff and chefs. Check, check and check! This week we’re putting the very final touches on the expanded kitchen space we have so that we can offer you high-quality, delicious sushi. And it’s almost ready! Stay tuned here on our site and via social media to learn of the upcoming debut of our full sushi menu. We will also be featuring premium sushi, such as Toro, Unagi and many more fresh selections. If you’ve been in before to savor our Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki, you know we’re committed to the freshest, choice-grade ingredients and quality experience. You can bet that you’ll find that with our sushi as well. But don’t just take our word for it – let these pictures speak for themselves and come in for your stomach to decide.

Who ever thought that being late could be a good thing? Well now we do, thanks to our bar manager Mark Mangold . We know how it goes when you’re searching for that relaxing, chill bar to unwind in after the long week of work or just to get past hump-day. Times like those are when you want a custom drink good enough that you forget you already sat down. With that first jolting sip, it’s like a pair of hands giving you a good friendly shake of the shoulders. Then you lusciously melt into a euphoria you don’t come out of without being delayed to wherever it was you thought you needed to be next. In other words…you stay for another…  Allow Mark’s twist on a Manhattan to remind you to slow down and be delayed. Just in a much tastier way and even in the comforts of your own home if you like. That’s why we’re letting you in on our newly created concoction. Just remember, the euphoria’s even better when you let us make it for you instead. At least that’s our take 🙂
