The vibe
Tyson Cole's Austin-born Japanese empire landed in RiNo with its full elegance intact — the precise sashimi, the obsessive sourcing, the cocktail program that treats sake with the reverence of fine wine. Happy hour at Uchi in Denver is one of the great deals in the Rocky Mountain culinary scene: the walu walu at $9, executed to the same standard as the dinner service, is almost confusingly good value.
