I’m vegetarian and I liked this place a lot . The food was amazzzzzzing and so presentable . We ordered Artichoke Zobbo , Crispy Gnocchi , Brown Butter Rosemary Fried, Carrot Cake and Scarlett Lavender lemonade and all dishes and beverage were lip smacking delicious. Especially the Gnocchi and Rosemary Fries were superb. Can’t recommend this place enough.
I can genuinely say this was one (really, two, because we went back for brunch the next morning) of THE most amazing dining experiences I’ve ever had. I cannot say enough good things! Let me start off by saying the menu is curated *perfectly* — there’s a little bit of something for everyone, without compromising on the integrity of imagination & creativity that this food brings! The way the chef curates flavors together is immaculate — some of which, I never would have thought to combine — to make the most crave-able bites that leave you wanting more, and more! This is truly a must try in Durango! Lastly, though the food is amazinggg, the experience would not have been complete without our thoughtful and amazing server, Luke!! He really made the whole experience come to life for us (so much so, that we came back a second time before our flight)! His positive and welcoming energy, knowledge of the food, AMAZING recommendations, and genuine, authentic personality — You’d truly be lucky to sit down for dinner and meet Luke as your server. Like I said, we can’t say enough good things about this place, but here were some of our MENU FAVES: (pics below) Dinner - Crispy Gnocchi (it’ll be with the meatless entrees). And, even though it’s an entree we split as an app. DIVINE. - Beef Stroganoff - Shrimp & Caramel Pork Pad Thai (The pictures should tell you everything!) Brunch: - Smoked Salmon Cigars (literally they’re mini, creamy, delicious, salmon egg rolls that come in a cigar box) - Cherry Asparagus & Avocado Toast — great meatless brunch option!! - Potato Pancakes Benedict (the eggs on this were too great to describe) Dessert - Lemon Lavender Cupcake (a moist lavendar cupcake with luscious lemon creme in the middle) - Bomb Bar (just get it)!!
Just WOW!!! This place is an absolute MUST!!! The food is outstanding, plated soo freaking cool and the atmosphere is even better. Date night, or just a great place to eat. This is the SPOT! Best 100 I’ve spent on food in Durango! No need to venture to Main Street....this will be our go from now on. Get the French fries, you will thank me later. And did someone say Dessert?!? Because they are phenomenal as well!
The MOST AMAZING RESTAURANT IVE EVER BEEN TO! We just keep coming back!! The food truly is a piece of art. The flavors are like nothing I’ve ever experienced. If you love to try new things and enjoy a wonderful dining atmosphere, this is the place! The staff are incredible, the chef is amazing! The drinks??? OH MY GOSH. The best cocktails I’ve ever had, hands down. I cannot recommend the Yellow Carrot enough.
We're from Arkansas and stopped in since we were staying across the street. Saw great reviews so we decided to make it easy and eat close. It was a Monday, but the place was packed. There were only two servers, Teddy and Luke, but they did an incredible job, spent time talking to us and got us everything we needed with great recommendations. The food presentation at this place is next level. The flavors of the dishes and drinks were all delicious. Highly recommend the Bronuts for an app (just don't eat them all or you'll be full before main dishes get there). The Pad Thai was incredible and so was the salmon salad that my girlfriend got. A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. They went out of their way to make it a good experience even though they were understaffed for a Monday.
An ethereal experience. The food was heavenly and the staff friendly and helpful. Our server and cook also paid close attention to my allergens which prevented any reactions. Brunch was beautifully plated and the coffees were divine.
Recommended by a friend in New Mexico. Well worth the visit. The atmosphere and staff were warm hearted and sincere. The desserts are above and beyond extraordinary. The carrot bisque was tasty though could use a bit more carrot taste. The fish sandwich was meal enough for lunch and dinner! Just the right amount of tanginess. The fish itself, flaky and moist with a delicious crust. This restaurant is a real find. If the prices seem exorbitant to you, think of it as a party for your mouth that will feed your inner being. I rated this restaurant highly, as it is a rare find to locate the kind of quality and service available here.
This place is 5 star on all levels. We had Mothers Day brunch there...had no reservations, but still got seated by the amazing bartender Luke, who is the consummate professional and artist. Every single bite and sip was absolutely amazing and unique. The entire staff was tremendously kind and very hardworking. Can't recommend it enough!
