There were some rough edges, but I'm sticking with three stars because it's sushi and sake in the…read moremountains, with great cocktails and a wonderful desert. The issues: * dirty menu * hot sake delivered room temp, server acknowledged the machine doesn't always work correctly so they'd use a backup to prepare a new one, which did come out hot. If it's a known issue though, you'd hope they'd either fix the machine or check that it's hot. The carafe was not even warm, when normally you would have a hard time holding it for an extended period when it's first served, so the fact that it was cold would have been obvious. * it's in a spare room the hotel uses for event space, so yes it is a pop-up, which means the decor is a couple Japanese screens and not much else * the rolls tasted great, but some would fall apart when picked up * soy sauce bottle on the table was empty and dirty So, could have been better, but the food quality seemed great; nice and fresh rolls and nigiri. The cocktails were unique and delicious. The desert... that was the highlight. Very unique; I unfortunately can't find the name of it as it's not on the regular menu, but it was a frozen desert like a Japanese ice cream, but soft in the center, and was served with green tea and mango flavors. If you're looking for a really wonderful sushi and/or fish experience, and don't mind the drive, Hooked over in Beaver Creek is where you'd really want to go. It's our favorite restaurant in the Rockies.

After my 1st day snowboarding, due to our lack of snow this winter, Vail had the best forecast, and…read moreI happily rode 7 runs in 2-hours, and was then starving, after also skipping lunch. Since I'd parked at Lions Head, before I returned to Denver, I considered the Vail Chophouse, as their menu looked delicious, however when I went inside, the live music was so loud - even with my noise-canceling headphones still in- that I still couldn't hear, and knew I'd blow out my ear drums. Enter: Montauk Seafood Grill, the perfect antidote, with an equally appealing menu, and a much more serene ambiance. :-) Given I was famished, I asked my wonderful server, Brenn, for recommendations, and she was - hands down - one of the best servers I've had, in a long time. She was friendly, attentive, honest, and an all around delight. I started by asking her suggestion, as to if I should order the "Blood Moon" or "Happy Coconut" mocktail, and she recommended the Blood Moon, which was delicious! I love Blood Orange, and it had the perfect combination of mint, to be both sweet & sour. I needed a mocktail, given I was driving back to Denver, after dinner. She then brought me delicious Rosemary Sourdough and Citrus Butter, as a starter, which was fantastic, especially given I needed all the carbs, from skipping lunch, riding so much, and from fasting the night before, for a prior medical appointment, that morning, in Denver, hence my late start, snowboarding. Then I ordered - and loved - the Point Reyes Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon, medium rare, with the most delicious asparagus I've ever had, and I was grateful that they could make my truffle potatoes, whipped, instead of hash brown style. I ended my delicious dinner with a cappuccino, for the drive home. Perfection!

I'm not even sure if I can recommend this place to my friends. Pricey is an understatement!…read moreI'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the food and the portion was generous but we misread the menu and thought the salad with lobster was $26, when in reality that was only the addition of lobster. The overall price was $45 for the strawberry and walnut salad with lobster. Ouch! My friend ordered a Cesar salad with lobster and it was $40. Including two sodas and one cup of clam chowder (for my friend) our bill was $120, not including tip. This was lunch, not dinner. Service was good. And the place has sitting outside, which is in the shade but it's wood benches that are very hard and uncomfortable. Again, food is not bad, but I don't think I will come back. Sorry!
