    One of my top 2 restaurants in Telluride for quality and variety of food. Rack of lamb done to perfection (and one needs little else more when that’s nailed), delicious and imaginative fish preparation, delicious raw fish (tataki and rolls), creative lobster/shrimp sausage with caper alioli, delicious ceviche, and tomato and saffron soup out of this world. The server was such a flirty tease that we (4) were not bothered by the delays in bringing out the dishes. The atmosphere was elegant and civil, as always. Always look forward to coming back.

    The tuna tartare appetizer was absolutely amazing! Every dish we had was excellent, but what really stands out here is the service and the overall experience. The staff works together as a team to provide a level of customer service rarely seen nowadays. We highly recommend going here if you’re in Telluride!

    This was our first time in the separate downstairs area for the omakase tasting dinner. It was totally outstanding. We had previously dined in the general dining area downstairs, with wonderful food and service. But if you don't mind the higher fixed price for the omakase tasting menu dinner, go for it -- it is worth it. You won't find a better omakase experience anywhere unless maybe in Japan.

    Food was very good, nice to have the choice of elk or bison on the menu. Service was very good, attentive. One negative was asked for my dish without the potatoes and substituted with a vege and they said they would not do that but that I could buy a side vege for $12 or whatever it was--a little annoying. And the ambiance was very nice, it is in a nice old building with high ceilings. It is not a value play at all. Not used to seeing the $60+ entrees, really used to seeing more in the $30s and $40s, especially on some that were just a cut of meat where you had to order your $10 to $15 side dishes separately. So the value conscious should really not go here, but I doubt that is their target market.
