Hubby absolutely nailed date night with Oye -- this was a full-on foodie experience.
First tip: grab a table upstairs. Better light, great vibe, and look for Sophie's hole in the wall (iykyk).
The menu? Wow. Creative in a way that actually works. Think cocktails like a salt-and-pepper strawberry situation that somehow hits every note. We shared our way through the menu: olives and a dreamy ricotta spread on focaccia, a fresh and unexpected watermelon ceviche, and barbacoa layered over what can only be described as cheesy magic. Every dish felt thoughtful and a little surprising.
Service matched the food. Sam, our waiter, was basically doing a stair-climbing marathon (he claims 20K steps a day and I believe it), crafting and delivering drinks with serious creativity and hustle. The owner/chef stopped by multiple times -- answering my many questions and clearly pouring heart into elevating Durango's food scene beyond the usual IPAs, burgers, and pizza.
