Carbondale
About the restaurant
Thank you for visiting Kenichi Izakaya Carbondale. An Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub. At sake breweries during the late 18th century, people in Japan began using sake kegs as stools, and snacks were served. This small plate menu was designed to encourage sharing amongst friends and family. Food is prepared in multiple kitchens and arrives as it is ready to ensure freshness. We make most of our menu in-house, from scratch, and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.


If no reservations are available, please note that we do have walk in apcae at our bar and sushi bar. We hope to see you!

Steak was amazing! Some of the best I've had. Will definitely go back! Everything was great. Loved the cocktails, wedge salad, and mashed potatoes too. Only bad thing was only two dessert options.

About the restaurant
Forget Me Not is designed with intention and care; it’s not just about being a cocktail bar. Walking through our door opens the invitation to brighten the day; sow the seeds of celebration, or to be a kind ear when needed. We invest in the relationship between guests and the bartenders to create a space where connections are made. People feel rooted when they are here and that follows them when they leave. We are a place where memories can be made, celebrated, and created anew...

Welcome to Forget Me Not.

Honestly a hidden gem in Denver. I honestly don’t want to leave the review because I don’t want this place to get over run but it’s too good of a lounge, view, bar to lie about. It’s worth the visit whatever your vibe, oh yeah the drinks are good too.

Always a great spot for lunch. The jumbo pretzel is light, airy & simply divine. The loaded nachos with bison are the bomb. Our server Miya was attentive, friendly and made our experience delightful.

We really enjoyed our experience here. The atmosphere is friendly and casual. We were there early evening on a Friday, so it was quiet. The waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious. Gnocchi was light flavorful. We especially enjoyed the option of large and small servings for most of the entrees. Already planning to go there again soon.
