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.

We enjoyed probably the best calamari we've ever had. it was just perfectly cooked!!! For dinner we had the fillet, baked potato and the seventh Street salad..., the fillet was perfectly cooked... and so tender... They actually butcher thrir own meat and it shows,.,,the cut was just perfect and it was worth every penny... the baked potato was so good and and the salad was absolutely delightful enough so that we wanted to do an extra "to go" and bring it home... I also enjoyed a lemon drop martini probably one of the best ones I've ever had. It was just so smooth and I believe that they used fresh lemon juice... It was absolutely perfect as well... Our server was Robert and he was so kind and so interesting. The service was absolutely delightful... The inside looked absolutely wonderful, but we enjoyed sitting outside and visiting with people and just enjoying the views of Glenwood gosh, we can't wait to come back

My husband has been eating here over the past few months and told me it was the best sushi he's…read morehad! Coming from California and Las Vegas, I was eager to try it and he was not wrong. First, the restaurant is beautiful, nestled in the heart of Buena Vista on Main St near all the excitement! The decor was perfectly placed with an elegant feel of a jazzy night in a forest. The ambiance was nice, very clean, and the service was top notch! Chris and Goff (sorry if it's spelled wrong) helped us last night and today when we went back to try the lunch specials. They remembered us and were always kind to check on us if we needed anything. Our plates were always quickly cleaned off our table and the waitresses were very kind and polite. The food was impeccable! The miso soup was refreshing with a strong dashi broth to warm you up on a cold night. The I Love Salmon came with 5 pieces of sashimi, 3 nigiri and their JB Roll (salmon and cream cheese). It was beautifully plated on a playful and colorful plate. The pieces of fish were thick and the rice was warm with a perfect amount of flavor. This is honestly my favorite sushi spot after trying many sushi places across California from LA to Humboldt and in Las Vegas from Tao to All You Can Eat options of every tier. The dragon roll was another plate of perfection with thick pieces of shrimp tempura with a good crunch to it! Today we came back and tried their lunch menu. I was surprised to see it not as busy as the lunch menu has great options and prices! I got the pad Thai box which came with chicken or tofu pad Thai (I got chicken), 4 pieces of California Roll, 3 pieces of nigiri and 3 pieces of sashimi for only $22. Honestly that's such a steal! My husband got the curry box which came with a bowl of chicken curry, steamed rice, 4 pieces of California rolls, 3 nigiri pieces and 3 sashimi pieces for the same price of $22. Perfect if you'd like to try a sample of different things they have. We also tried their Seafood Sampler which came with Calamari, Fried Shrimp and Fried Crab. It was a great appetizer and the sauces complimented the seafood so well. On a side note the little slices of oranges that came with it were also really sweet! I wish I had the whole orange. Lastly we shared the mango strawberry float which is a refreshing sweet drink. The mango on top reminded me of sherbet which was very light and the drink had a good sweetness to it from the strawberries. This is definitely a must go to if you're in or driving through Buena Vista, Colorado. Perfect place for any occasion with a calm dimly lit restaurant. Thank you again for the meal and the hospitality! We can't wait to go back!

Probably one of the better Asian fusions in town. The vibes are quite exotic and they're plenty…read morebusy. Took a while to get what we want. Didn't try the sushi, figured it's a largely Thai influenced fusion. The Basil fried rice wasn't too impressive, it was on the wet side. Portion is large though. Tonkatsu ramen was just ok too. The marinaded eggs were not soft cooked, but we were craving for Asian so that's what we got! Again portion was generous so the three of us shared these 2 entrees and got pretty full. The Thai iced tea tiramisu sounded really yummy and looked super good from the picture on the menu. Reality? Not so much. Still any sweet treat at the end of a meal is better than no treat at all.

This week, we went for happy hour, which was always great for small plates and drinks. We ordered two drinks and two small plates. My beet small plate was about two inches in diameter and 1/2" high. It tasted good. But my spouse ordered the recommended jalapeño shrimp poppers. He said they smelled like old shrimp and the breading was like an undercooked corn dog. He did not send it back. But we did pay/tip then went to Fatty's for a Pesto Pizza because after a $65 happy hour, we were still hungry. So disappointed that the Hearthstone is not up to what is expected. I hope the new owners can bring it back to what it should be. Maybe Dick should buy it back!

When walking around Vail Village, I saw a sign for a Bao Pop-Up for the restaurant "Bao You Like…read moreIt." This interested me because I did not have asian food during my stay yet and I love attending pop-ups! The pop-up was located in the back of 10th Mountain Whisky and Spirit Company (a bar) which was a bit confusing to get to not being familiar with the area. I would suggest they put the location of the pop-up in the sign! We were greeted and served by Mick. My mom was not familiar with how pop-ups worked so the process was unfamiliar for her but Mick explained how it operated as a walk up counter to take food to-go or eat it in the bar lounge. Mick was very helpful, suggesting items and describing in detail how they looked and tasted. He suggested the vegan delight bao buns and while we are not vegan, we decided to try them. They were very delicious with a spicy flavor filled with glass noodles and soy sauce! My mom and I also shared the Classic Duo which are a Pork and BBQ Pork Bao, which was my favorite. The meal also came with cucumbers, carrots, and chili oil to dip, which the freshness really balanced the savory taste of the bao's. The bao's are reasonably sized and were very filling. Because we came towards the end of their pop-up, Mick kindly offered us their Beef Bao's at a 25% discount -- we got 2! Even though I tried food at a much more expensive price point, this meal ended up being my favorite from my trip! Mick's friendliness definitely added to the experience and I am glad to have met him! From this experience I learned to try unassuming things because they can end up being a highlight for a trip! Definitely would recommend trying to anyone looking for Asian food, a snack, or a filling meal in Vail Village!

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!
