I ordered a ham, cheese, lettuce and mayo sandwich since I was sharing with my little sister. It was everything I wanted in that moment. They not only have a ton of different sandwiches on their menu, but they also have a full bar. A great spot to grab sandwiches and drinks while in Durango!

The most extraordinary turkey sandwich I can recall partaking in. I can't believe that I'm in a…read moresmall Colorado town, where often, mediocre food is the rule, and burgers are typically the only item most restaurants are capable of mustering. This sandwich is truly epic. The wheat bread is from a local bakery. Instead of it being toasted in a perfunctory, afterthought manner, it is thoroughly toasted right at the point of the wheat kernels cracking, engendering the goodness only wheat can provide. The bacon is properly cooked, with no hint of undercooked slime present. The green chili tastes as though it was brought here this morning from Hatch, with the whole of the ingredients being uniquely fresh. Finally, the sriracha mayo sauce provides just the right presence of spice, uniquely accenting the green chili. Turkey itself is great, but I confess, is so overshadowed by the excellence present throughout the sandwich, that it hardly occupies the center stage. On another note, a definite problem here is that the water glass conveying a distinct taste of soap residue. It's bad. This happened the last time that I was here, as well. I did tell the owner about this today. Pricing is just right and seating can be awkward at times. I look forward to returning.

It's located in a Holiday Inn and we were staying there so it was an easy choice for dinner after traveling all day. We were there on a weeknight and it was unexpectedly busy. CJ (or TJ) was the only one working....besides the cook, I think. Anyway, CJ (or TJ) was handling the whole place by himself...making drinks, serving food, taking orders, the whole bit. He was so cool, we didn't mind the extra wait at all. He told us the food would be worth the wait and it was! The menu is simple, lots of burgers, some chicken options, and a few salads, along with some wings, fried pickles, quesadillas, etc. The fries and onion rings were perfect!! I mean, perfect!! We loved our experience there. Oh, and CJ (or TJ) makes a killer Old Fashioned!! They are also open for breakfast from 6:30-9:30 AM. Bar is open 3:00-11:00 PM, and dinner is from 4:00-10 PM.

Dialed in. Attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful when navigating their very tempting margarita menu. I went all in with both the Mamasita and Papasita...no regrets. Creative, well-balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. Chips came out warm and freshly fried (always a good sign), and the sizzling queso hit that perfect salty, melty note you hope for but don't always get. The avocado stuffed with shrimp starter was a standout: fresh, colorful, and a nice lighter contrast before diving into the mains. And speaking of mains... the Seafood Diablo absolutely delivered. Packed with shrimp, fish, mussels, and squid, and finished with just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the flavors. If you're in Durango and want something that's a little more lively than the usual lineup, this place brings both personality and flavor. Definitely worth a stop.

Just a quick heads-up: If you're not from the West, the salsa will likely be a little spicier than you're used to. Ours was. There was also a slaw "salsa" served that we were unaccustomed to, but it was a good change of pace. My only regret - not getting a margarita because we were driving.

I love buttery Chardonnays and Rombauer may be among the best I have had, it reminded me of the award-winning Château Montelena, Chardonnay. For those of you who have never seen the movie Bottle Shock, watch it, It's a wonderful lesson in wine history. I'm definitely buying some Rombauer for my personal collection when I return to Vegas. My appetizer was a tasty peppery kick calamari dish. The kick wasn't too bad for you non spicy folks. The dish was light and crispy just how great calamari should be. Then came the branzino. I do not eat the skin of fish typically, but this dish was to tasty and the skin was the perfect level of crispy. The branzino and the wine went so well together, I was eating my desert early. The flavors popped in my mouth. At this point I was done but my amazing waiter Tyler did ask if I wanted to see the desert Menu and since I thought if the rest of the food was this delicious why not. I ended up ordering the white chocolate cheesecake. OH MY GOD, it melted in my mouth. The cheesecake wasn't overly rich but it was smooth, definitely fresh. The berries and the whipped cream balanced it out and that cheesecake didn't stand a chance. As a foodie from Las Vegas, I have been to a numerous amount of amazing restaurants. I cannot express my surprise at finding seasons here in Durango. This is definitely going to be one of my go to restaurants every time I visit this beautiful town. From the moment I walked through the door to the time that I left the service the food and the ambience was simply perfect. I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys great service and even better food. Take a bow Chef, you have a new fan. From Vegas with love!
