    Food is average. Service wasn't great either. I don't recommend eating here unless you have another option.

    I just flew in to Durango with my family, and today just so happens to be my 19th wedding…read moreanniversary. We had found ourselves on a waitlist at some "fried stuff with cheese" restaurant down the street, which nothing at all looked appetizing to me so I vetoed. Got on Yelp, found 636 well rated nearby and the menu looked wonderful. Got here to a healthy amount of patrons and warm ambiance/atmosphere. Service was great despite me being an annoying tourist. I tried every dish we had plus the hot rolls, which have a buttery pimento dip. Everyone agreed that the food was spectacular. Of all the things to love about 636 (which there are many), my favorite is that when I mentioned our anniversary to the lady, she said "Oh! I'll get the anniversary confetti!" Hilarious and endearing. I love Durango already, and 636 made such a great impression. Thank you!

    My wife and I made reservations at 636 Main for ourselves and two friends who came into town to…read moremeet up with us while we were traveling through Colorado. We were seated on the patio and it took quite a while for our server to greet us. Once she did, she brought water and took our drink order. She returned with our drinks and said she would be back to take our food order. We had plenty to talk about while waiting, but she repeatedly walked past our table to attend to other tables without stopping. Eventually, I had to stop her and let her know we were ready to order. My wife and our friend's wife both ordered a pasta dish with sliced steak and spinach. My friend had a salad with salmon and a bowl of soup, and I ordered the filet with potato lasagna and spinach. As the evening went on, it became breezy and chilly. I asked another server if the patio heater could be turned on, and someone came over right away to help, which we appreciated. When our meals arrived, everything looked excellent and tasted very good. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, our server only stopped by our table once during the entire meal to check on us and it was lien she was in a rush to leave to table. We spent a long time waiting to see if she would ask whether we needed anything or if we were finished. It wasn't as though she had to go out of her way to reach us--she walked past our table numerous times while serving her other tables. Because of the lack of attention, I once again had to get her attention to let her know we were finished and ask for a dessert menu. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate dessert to go after she highly recommended it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the description once I had a chance to eat it. The chocolate flavor was very mild, and the crunchy layer on the bottom was not particularly enjoyable nothing like a Dubai Chocolate. Overall, the food was excellent and deserving of praise. However, for a fine dining restaurant where both the food and drinks come at premium prices, the service fell well short of expectations. Great meals can make for a memorable evening, but attentive service is an important part of the fine dining experience, and unfortunately that was missing during our visit.

    INCREDIBLE!!!! Mike,…read morethe bartender, took wonderful care of us. He has great energy, is incredibly accommodating, and couldn't have been friendlier. We started with the carpaccio, which we almost always order when a restaurant offers it. And we were completely blown away. This was, without question, the best carpaccio we have ever had. Seriously -- the best. It was the surprise of the entire dining experience. That's not to say the dishes that followed were anything less than spectacular. The puttanesca, lasagna, and affogato were all excellent in their own right. But the true star of the evening was the carpaccio. If you go, do yourself a favor and order it. You will not regret it.

    Our visit started out wonderful. We were seated in the bar and the bartender was awesome!…read moreWe started with drinks and ordered a Caesar salad. Halfway through our salad they seated a male right next to my husband. The rest of the bar area was open and all the booths along the wall were open as well. The man was filthy dirty and the odor from him filled the room. His hands had blood on them too. He kept mumbling and laughing and when the bartender tried to take his order he was having a difficult time understanding him. My husband got up to go to address the situation and the man proceeded to show me his teeth and growling at me. This behavior completely changed the direction of our evening and hopes for a nice experience for dinner. The restaurant wanted us to make changes rather than the man disrupting the evening. We decided to leave and dine elsewhere. The restaurant made zero efforts to accommodate this unfortunate time for us on our vacation. Empathy for someone is not lost on me, but lack of respect for us was certainly lost on the management here! Save yourself the time and find an alternate place to patronize when in Durango!
