Where do I start with The Yellow Carrot. Upon our arrival there wasn't many people inside so I…read moredidn't expect much. Wade was our server and greeted us right away to get us seated. He presented us with the menu and drink menu followed by the nights specials. His attention to detail was something I've never experienced, every restaurant you go to they just pour you a glass of ice water. Not here, if you prefer ice they will ask. I started with a Cherry Habanero Margarita, there is such a flavor profile of just this drink alone. You get the sweet from the Cherry, followed by just a slight bit of spice and refreshing basil notes on your nose and the finishing notes of the drink. Wade has worked with the Executive Chef on this drink menu to pair it with the out of this world flavor profiles of the entree menu. Our appetizer was the Three X Brussels and the Artichoke Zobo. My date was a fan of the lemon glazed Brussels and I couldn't stay away from the roasted garlic Brussels. The roasted garlic Brussels were paired with some sweety drop peppers from Peru that were a unique touch but delicious for the size. Our date night special was the Grouper Filet topped with lump crab meat and a corn succotash. On the side we were presented with a polenta cake that was prepared perfectly. It had an amazing creamy texture with just a touch of spice. I've never had polenta before but if this is what it tastes like then I'm all about it! I try and eat every restaurant in Durango at least once. The Yellow Carrot has an atmosphere and menu that you would expect to find in the city and service I think you'll find rare on this planet. I will most definitely be back to indulge in the atmosphere and drinks of The Yellow Carrot but mostly for the absolutely phenomenal entree menu. The staff absolutely has this place locked in.
