    Super knowledgeable staff, great wine recommendation from sommelier, food was my favorite in Telluride (and we ate at all the “hotspots”). I almost came back the next night before a show we had tickets for. That’s how great it was. Loved every bit of it!

    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.
