Restaurants include Sushi Kuro; The BKFST Club, by Chef Tajahi Cooke; Lea Jane’s Hot Chicken; Johnny Good Burger; Osito, a fast casual version of Mister Oso by Denver Chef Blake Edmunds; Giordano’s Pizza; Balance Pan-Asian Grille; Bubble Tea; Jeremiah’s Italian Ice and Pressed Coffee & Vinyl.

A “culinary residency” program called the The Chef Kitchen will also reside at Freedom Street, “designed to give chefs complete creative freedom to test new concepts and host incredible events in a dedicated space,” according to the release.

Postino WineCafé opened last week at the Highlands Ranch Town Center, 1497 Park Central Drive, according to a news release.

It’s Postino’s fourth Colorado location after opening in Denver’s Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood, 2715 17th St., seven years ago. A Boulder location is set to open soon, according to the company's website. Its menu has a rotating selection of bruschetta, charcuterie boards, “from-scratch” soups, salads and panini sandwiches.

“We love Denver, and we’re thrilled to be deepening our roots within the area,“ co-founder Lauren Bailey said in the release. “Over the years, we’ve served many Highlands Ranch residents that visit our Denver-proper restaurants, so when the opportunity arose to open up a location that they could call their own, we jumped! … We can’t wait to join the neighboring restaurants and businesses while serving the community under our mission — to make people feel good.”

Postino Highlands Ranch features an art wall with floor-to-ceiling vintage board games. Postino hired Denver muralist Leah Pantea to commission a 200-square-foot piece on the restaurant’s exterior wall.

The new location has “one of their coolest patios yet — an expansive, umbrella-lined sunken patio that harkens to a ‘70s-style conversation pit — is decorated with succulents and plant life that makes basking in Colorado’s fresh air with close company extra enjoyable,” according to the release.
