Nobu Matsuhisa's Cherry Creek flagship predates the global Nobu brand and retains a warmth and intimacy the larger properties have long since traded away. The bar counter here is one of Denver's finest places to sit — Nobu's black cod miso, the dish that made him famous, arrives at happy-hour pricing in a room that feels like a personal invitation. Cherry Creek's most prestigious address, earned without the pretension.
