A Mediterranean haven will emerge in downtown Denver’s concrete jungle Tuesday, Sept. 4, when Kevin Taylor’s restaurant group unveils it’s newest concept: Mila.
This 6,000-square-foot eatery, located in downtown’s Denver Place, will welcome guests with a sleek, coastal color scheme and a creative-yet-classic execution of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
Executive chef and partner Austin Cueto, a veteran of the restaurant group, will offer an array of dishes including house-made pastas like Pork Shoulder Bolognese; pizza with spicy lamb sausage, goat cheese, fennel and rosemary (yes please); fresh seafood such as the Roasted Branzino with with toasted farro, baby beets, peas and saffron lobster brodo; along with salads, crudo and more. Signature dishes include Pork Belly Porchetta with Israeli couscous and oyster mushrooms, and a harissa lamb burger with cured tomato, bibb lettuce, feta and red beet ketchup.
Cueto, who most recently served as executive chef at Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House, has spent more than a decade with the KTRG, formerly fulfilling the executive chef role at Restaurant Kevin Taylor and Palettes at the Denver Art Museum. He has also led the culinary department of the Denver Art Museum’s catering and events.
Mila hosts a 16-seat bar, 48-seat wine cellar ideal for special events, and a 2,000-square-foot outdoor patio with 100 seats. The space offers a bright escape with distinctly urban views.
Dinner will be served Monday through Saturday, as well as lunch service Monday through Friday, beginning Sept. 10. A happy hour menu will be available from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 5 to 6 p.m. Saturday. The restaurant will be closed on Sundays.
