    Thank you SO much for making our Anniversary night so very special. Highly recommend Makoto for a beyond exceptional experience of an evening. From the valet service, to our most friendly and helpful host - from the moment we stepped out of the car we were treated with the utmost care. Though, I have got to say… our server, Shannon, was absolutely beyond fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu, had fantastic recommendations, and the service was phenomenal - so much so, we actually took them all!! And WOW. This was one of, if not THE top dining experiences I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend if you’re looking for an amazing dining experience in Vail! Thank you again so much to Shannon, the chef, the rest of the staff - you truly made our night even more special.
